Contents of the third-level maintenance of a vehicle: 1. Disassemble and inspect the engine, check the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and bearing wear, remove carbon deposits, gum deposits, and cooling system scale, grind the valves and adjust the gaps; 2. Disassemble, clean, inspect, adjust, and troubleshoot the front axle, steering, transmission, drive shaft, rear axle, suspension, and brake assemblies; 3. Inspect the frame and body, remove rust, and touch up paint. Vehicle maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle. The purpose of vehicle maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

The third-level vehicle maintenance is a big job, taking a whole day each time. With 15 years of driving experience, I know it well. It includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking the wear level of brake discs and pads, testing the transmission system like whether the gearbox oil needs replacement, and adjusting the suspension to prevent bumpy rides. The lighting system requires testing each bulb's voltage, and scanning for electronic fault codes to prevent black screens. During my last maintenance, I found loose wheel bearings and fixed them in time to avoid a tire blowout. The related benefits are safety first, especially ensuring responsive brakes at high speeds, preventing costly roadside breakdowns and towing fees. Spending a little on regular maintenance is better than major engine repairs. It's generally recommended every two years or 20,000 kilometers.

What are the pros and cons of replacing 225 tires with 215 ones?

225 tires replaced with 215 ones have the following pros and cons: 1. The pros are that the tires will be more fuel-efficient, have lower noise, and better economy; 2. The cons are that the tires will have reduced grip, worse handling and braking performance, lower safety coefficient, and may negatively affect the geometric design of the body and suspension. It can also cause deviations in related data such as ABS, ESP, mileage, and fuel consumption. The difference between 215 and 225 tires is not significant. The main difference lies in the tire's section width, simply put, the width of the tire is different, with 225 being wider than 215. Different tire widths directly affect the tire's diameter, aspect ratio, and contact area with the ground, resulting in performance differences between 215 and 225 tires.

Why is it hard to start a car in winter?

The reasons and solutions for why it's hard to start a car in winter are as follows: 1. The battery's capacity decreases due to the cold weather, leading to power loss or insufficient charge if the car hasn't been driven for a long time, resulting in difficulty starting. In this case, simply recharge the battery. 2. The lower the temperature in winter, the higher the viscosity of the engine oil, which reduces its fluidity and increases engine resistance, making it harder to start the car. To address this, you can change the oil and use engine oil with lower viscosity. Additionally, check if the fuel filter is clogged, and replace it with a new one if necessary. 3. Excessive carbon buildup can also make starting difficult. Carbon deposits typically accumulate in key areas such as the fuel injectors, combustion chamber, and valves. If not cleaned in time, they can affect the car's performance and increase fuel consumption. A simple and practical way to clean carbon deposits is to add some additives to the gasoline, such as professional fuel system cleaners.

What are the steps for driving an automatic transmission car?

Here are the steps for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. For an automatic transmission vehicle, to start the engine, the gear must be placed in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position. The engine cannot start normally if placed in other gear positions. 2. After starting the engine, wait a few seconds before shifting gears to allow the transmission to be fully lubricated. Then, press the brake pedal, shift to the correct gear, and slowly release the brake pedal to start the vehicle normally. 3. When driving on regular roads, keep the gear selector in D (Drive) position. Gradually increase the throttle; avoid sudden acceleration unless necessary. When driving in D gear, continuously pressing the accelerator does not necessarily shift to a higher gear. On the contrary, if the throttle opening is too large, it may result in downshifting. The correct operation is to release the accelerator to upshift in advance once the RPM reaches a certain value, and press the accelerator to downshift in advance. 4. For a brief stop (not exceeding 3 minutes), you can place the gear in N (Neutral) position, engage the handbrake, and release the foot brake to reduce driving fatigue. For long-term parking, shift to P (Park) position and engage the handbrake.

Do Hatchbacks Have a Trunk?

Hatchbacks do have a trunk. The front part of a hatchback is no different from that of a sedan. However, in a hatchback, the cabin and the trunk are integrated into a single compartment, and the engine is arranged in an independent layout. This design increases the interior space of the car, but correspondingly reduces the trunk space. The rear of a hatchback features a spacious rear door, giving the car flexible and versatile usage. By folding down the rear seats, you can obtain a much larger cargo space than in a sedan, suitable for transporting many large household appliances and items. For example, in the Citroën Fukang hatchback, folding down the rear seats increases the trunk volume from 324 liters to 1,146 liters.
