This 2011 IS250, I've driven it for several years and noticed several common issues that frequently occur. The steering wheel makes a clicking noise during low-speed turns, which is particularly annoying. After inspection, it was identified as a worn steering column issue, and fixing it cost quite a bit. Oil consumption is also a persistent problem—my car needs a top-up every 5,000 kilometers, and it only improved after replacing the seals. The electronic system is also prone to glitches, with the dashboard occasionally lighting up with warning lights, requiring a trip to the dealership to reset the computer. Additionally, the brake pads wear out quickly, needing replacement every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers of city driving, and the suspension occasionally makes noise due to aging shock absorbers. I recommend regular comprehensive inspections for long-time owners to prevent minor issues from becoming major headaches—safety should always come first.

Is an engine speed of 900 rpm normal?

An engine speed of 900 rpm is normal. Generally, the idle speed of an engine is around 750 rpm, and it increases to about 1500 rpm after starting. Hazards of excessive speed: Sudden acceleration to 5000 rpm may not necessarily damage the engine, but maintaining such high speeds for extended periods can significantly increase fuel consumption. Hazards of low speed: However, don't assume that low speeds are beneficial for the engine. For typical driving of family cars, the engine speed usually varies between 2500-3500 rpm, with idle speeds being lower, generally around 800-1500 rpm. If the engine speed is too low, fuel may not burn completely in the cylinders, leading to carbon buildup in the engine. Over time, this can cause more significant damage to the engine.

What Causes Low Tire Pressure Warning?

Tire pressure deficiency may be caused by air leakage due to wheel hub deformation. It is recommended to inspect the wheel hub and replace it if necessary. Load Capacity: For empty or partial loads, refer to the lower limit of tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's sticker as a reference value; for full loads, refer to the upper limit of tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's sticker. Tire Pressure Measurement Conditions: The tire pressure differs between cold and hot tires, with a difference of approximately 0.2-0.3. To obtain an accurate tire pressure reading, it is best to measure after the vehicle has been parked for several hours. Otherwise, subtract 0.2-0.3 from the hot tire measurement to get the tire's cold inflation pressure. Driving Conditions: If frequently driving long distances or on highways, the tire pressure should not be too low. It is advisable to increase the tire pressure by approximately 0.2 above the standard pressure. If frequently driving on rough or uneven roads, it is advisable to decrease the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2 below the standard pressure. Under normal conditions, these adjustments can be negligible.

What are some four-character domestic car brands?

Domestic car brands with four characters include FAW Bestune, Xiamen Golden Dragon, Englon Auto, and Chuanqi Wild Horse. The differences between joint venture cars and domestic cars lie in their styling and engine technology. Styling aspects: In terms of exterior design, domestic cars have less independent research and development and are still largely in the imitation stage; whereas joint venture cars combine the advantages of their own products and make improvements based on the demands of the domestic consumer market, making them more appealing to the market. In terms of appearance, joint venture cars have an advantage over domestic cars. Engine technology aspects: The engines of domestic cars are not as technologically mature as those of joint venture cars. From the perspective of car users, there are gaps in terms of engine smoothness, noise, fuel consumption, power, and durability.

Can an A1 driver's license be obtained directly?

A1 driver's license cannot be obtained directly. Below are two methods to obtain an A1 driver's license: 1. If you have held a driving license for A3 city buses, B1 medium-sized passenger vehicles, or B2 large trucks for more than five years, and have not accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the five consecutive scoring cycles prior to the application, you can apply for an A1 driver's license. 2. If you have held a driving license for A2 tractor-trailers for more than two years, and have not accumulated 12 penalty points in the most recent scoring cycle prior to the application, you can apply for an A1 driver's license. Additional information: The vehicle types permitted by an A1 driver's license include buses that can carry more than 20 passengers, as well as passenger vehicles with a body length exceeding 6 meters, which also require an A1 license. Other vehicle types permitted by an A1 license include: A3 (city buses), B1 (medium-sized passenger vehicles), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), C4 (three-wheeled cars), M (wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles).

Does a new car need to idle for a while before driving?

New cars need to idle for a while before driving, as a cold engine requires preheating. Reasons for warming up the car: The main reason for warming up the car is that after being parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, warming up is necessary. The correct method for warming up is to drive after 30 seconds to one minute of idling, but avoid driving at high RPMs at this time. Maintain a low speed with the engine RPM not exceeding 3000-3500, generally keeping it around 2000 RPM. Consequences of not warming up the car: In winter, when temperatures are low, most of the engine oil settles at the bottom of the engine. If you start driving suddenly, the oil pump cannot lubricate the entire engine in time, which can cause damage to engine components.

Can I delay my motorcycle's annual inspection for three months after the due date?

It is acceptable to delay your motorcycle's annual inspection for three months after the due date. Motorcycle annual inspection schedule: The inspection schedule for motorcycles is based on the purchase date. New motorcycles only require inspection every 2 years within the first 4 years of ownership, while those over 4 years old need annual inspections. For the inspection, simply drive your motorcycle and bring the original owner's ID card, original vehicle registration certificate, tax payment certificate for vehicle and vessel tax, and compulsory insurance policy to a qualified local inspection facility. Motorcycle annual inspection location: Motorcycles should undergo annual inspections at the vehicle management office in their registered location (where the license plate was issued). Motorcycles less than 4 years old require inspection every 2 years, while those over 4 years need annual inspections.
