What Causes Sidewall Bulges in Car Tires?

Tire bulging predominantly occurs due to unexpected strong impacts during use, which cause severe compression deformation between the impact object and the rim flange. This results in broken cords in the tire sidewall, allowing internal air pressure to push out at the break point, forming a "bulge." Hazards of Tire Bulges: Bulging is a common form of tire wear. If not addressed promptly, the accelerated rolling or excessive frictional heat can easily lead to sudden rupture at the bulged area, potentially causing a blowout. Statistics show that the majority of tire blowouts are caused by bulges. Tips to Prevent Bulges: When installing tires, visit a professional tire shop and use specialized equipment and procedures. Avoid prolonged driving on poor road conditions whenever possible. If unavoidable, maintain the slowest feasible speed, as lower speeds minimize the adverse effects of tire impacts with road obstacles. Develop a good tire maintenance routine by checking tire conditions before each trip.

What to Do If the Vehicle Stalls and Restarts After Driving Through Water

If the engine successfully restarts, you can try to slowly drive out of the deep water area and move the car to shallower water or the roadside. Check if there are any issues with the vehicle. After driving through water and the car stalls, push the vehicle to higher ground while the engine is off. If the vehicle cannot be pushed, open the hood, disconnect the battery terminals, and call the 4S store for assistance or contact your insurance company to wait for rescue.

How to resolve the Audi EPC light issue?

Audi EPC light illumination faults and solutions: 1. Fault issues: Intake system faults, such as leaks or blockages; Dirty throttle body, excessive carbon buildup; Use of substandard fuel; Abnormal cylinder pressure, poor operating conditions; Occasional false alarms; Valve faults, sticking or carbon buildup; ECU faults. 2. Solutions: Troubleshoot intake system faults, use compliant fuel, clean the throttle body; Remove carbon deposits from relevant areas, perform cleaning; Rewrite ECU-related data (this is applicable when other faults have been resolved but the issue persists). Other fault possibilities cannot be ruled out, and specific repairs should be based on actual vehicle inspection results. 3. Other scenarios of EPC light illumination: During vehicle self-inspection, the EPC light will illuminate for a few seconds and then turn off. If a fault occurs, this light will stay on. Insufficient battery power can also trigger the EPC fault light. It is generally recommended to visit a 4S store for inspection and maintenance.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Citroen C5?

The fuel tank capacity of the Citroen C5 is 70 liters, as officially announced by the manufacturer. The Citroen C5 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 1076 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the amount of fuel remaining. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is recommended to refuel when the gauge shows only 2 segments remaining to avoid running out of fuel while driving. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
