What are the disadvantages of stock cars?

The hazards of stock cars are as follows: 1. Oil oxidation corrodes mechanical parts. When a vehicle is parked for a long time, oil oxidation becomes very severe. After oil oxidation, firstly, the lubrication effect deteriorates significantly, and secondly, some acidic substances can corrode mechanical parts. The longer the vehicle remains idle, the more severe the deterioration. When the engine is started again, dry or semi-dry friction occurs between the cylinder and piston, accelerating part wear and significantly increasing starting resistance. 2. Tire deformation. After a car is parked, the vehicle's weight is borne by the four tire contact points with the ground, causing localized compression and deformation. The longer the car remains stationary, the harder it is for the deformed areas to recover, altering the weight distribution around the tires and resulting in uneven rolling radii and tire imbalance. Once the car enters high-speed driving, it can cause body shaking, posing a safety hazard.

Why does the BMW fuel gauge not show full after refueling?

If the fuel gauge of a BMW 5 Series does not show full after refueling, it may be due to rust on the sliding resistor's contact, causing excessive resistance. How the car fuel gauge works: The fuel gauge is a relatively simple device. Current flows from the sender through a resistor, which may be wrapped around or located near a bimetallic strip. The bimetallic strip is connected to the fuel gauge needle via a linkage. Precautions when refueling a car: Avoid refueling during thunderstorms: This is a safety measure to prevent lightning strikes and potential fires. Since gasoline is highly flammable, refueling releases flammable vapor into the surrounding air, which could be dangerous if struck by lightning. Do not overfill the tank in summer: During hot weather, the optimal fuel level in the tank is between half and two-thirds full. A full tank increases engine load and fuel consumption (known as 'fuel-consuming fuel'). However, do not wait until the tank is completely empty before refueling. If the fuel gauge needle approaches or just reaches the red line, it's time to consider refueling.

How to Replace the Battery of a Tire Pressure Monitor?

Tire pressure monitor battery replacement method: 1. Prepare a wrench tool, then use the wrench to unscrew the external sensor; 2. Remove the anti-theft washer upwards; 3. Place the sensor on the disc-shaped opener, unscrew the shell. If it's too tight to remove, you can wrap the outer part of the disc with a cloth and then use force to open it; 4. Install the new battery, screw the shell back on, and put back the anti-theft washer that was just removed; 5. Reinstall the sensor onto the valve stem. Tire pressure monitoring is divided into three types: direct tire pressure monitoring, indirect tire pressure monitoring, and composite tire pressure monitoring. Through the tire pressure monitoring system, car owners can always keep track of tire conditions and prevent blowouts. Excessive tire pressure will reduce the shock absorption effect of the tire, thereby increasing the burden on the vehicle's shock absorption system; if the tire pressure is insufficient or uneven, it can easily cause brake deviation, thereby increasing the wear of the suspension system.

What is the maximum speed of a tank?

The maximum speed of a tank is 180KM/H, while the legal maximum speed limit is 120KM/H. Maximum speed: Refers to the maximum driving speed that a vehicle can achieve under windless conditions on a level, good-quality asphalt or concrete road surface. The maximum speed mentioned here is data provided by the manufacturer, for reference only, and does not represent PCauto's actual measured data. Testing method for maximum speed: The last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer test section are used as the testing area for maximum speed, with four round trips conducted to obtain an average value. The maximum speed differs from the theoretical maximum speed (which refers to the best performance achieved by the engine under optimal conditions, limited to theory). For some high-performance vehicles, manufacturers often limit the vehicle's maximum speed through technical means (such as electronic speed limit functions) to protect the engine or comply with traffic regulations. For example, the Mercedes S600, when the electronic speed limit is removed, can exceed the restricted 250km/h and reach 300km/h or even higher.

What causes the engine malfunction light to suddenly come on and the car to shake when accelerating?

Reasons for the engine malfunction light suddenly coming on and the car shaking when accelerating: 1. Damaged spark plugs, where the wear of the spark plug electrode gap leads to insufficient spark ignition, causing incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture and resulting in shaking during acceleration; 2. Poor quality gasoline, leading to inadequate atomization by the fuel injectors and incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, which can also cause idle shaking; 3. Faulty oxygen sensor, where damage to the oxygen sensor or its connector, or loosening, can cause the air-fuel mixture to be too lean or too rich, triggering the malfunction light; 4. Faulty mass air flow sensor, which measures the amount of air intake and converts it into an electrical signal sent to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), indirectly allowing the ECU to determine the amount of fuel to inject. If the mass air flow sensor or its circuit malfunctions, the ECU will not receive the correct air intake signal, leading to improper fuel control and causing the air-fuel mixture to be too lean or too rich, preventing the engine from operating normally.

How to Clear the Maintenance Reminder on a 2017 Focus?

First, insert the vehicle key and start the car. Then locate and hold the button on the lower right side of the instrument panel until you hear a "ding" sound. Next, press the OK button on the multifunction steering wheel to clear the maintenance reminder on the dashboard. Here are some relevant details: 1. When a vehicle is sold or after maintenance, a maintenance reminder is usually set. When the vehicle's mileage or time reaches the maintenance standard, the maintenance light will illuminate, indicating that the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible to ensure optimal operating conditions. 2. If the dealership forgets to set a new maintenance mileage after servicing, you can refer to the vehicle's manual to find the method for resetting the maintenance mileage. If you are unable to perform the operation, you can also take the car to the dealership or an auto repair shop and have a professional mechanic reset the maintenance light, thereby clearing the maintenance mileage reminder.

What Causes the Idle Speed of Buick Excelle to Fluctuate?

The reasons for fluctuating idle speed are as follows: 1. Dirt from the air and sludge from gasoline can easily cause the throttle to become dirty and the idle air control valve to malfunction. 2. Excessive carbon buildup can lead to valves not sealing properly, poor fuel injector atomization, and insufficient combustion. 3. A clogged exhaust pipe can result in poor exhaust flow. 4. Air leaks can cause insufficient vacuum. 5. Aging wiring or issues with the ECU (this phenomenon is unlikely to occur in the short term). It is recommended that owners avoid installing additional devices on the vehicle. 6. Insufficient cylinder compression due to natural wear (this phenomenon is unlikely to occur in the short term).
