What are the effects of not changing brake fluid?

1 Answers

Not changing the brake fluid will reduce braking force, causing air resistance in the brake lines, thereby affecting braking performance. It may also corrode the brake lines, leading to damage to the internal valves of the anti-lock braking hydraulic assembly, severely impacting the transmission response of the brake system. Prolonged use of brake fluid can also cause wear to the rubber cups and pistons in the brake pump, resulting in contaminated brake fluid. Brake fluid is a solution that easily mixes with water. Over time, some moisture or impurities may enter through the holes in the fluid reservoir, and mixing with water can significantly lower the boiling point of the brake fluid. Once it reaches a certain level, when the driver uses the braking system, many air resistances due to high-temperature evaporation may appear in the pipelines. At this point, the braking force will noticeably decrease or even fail, increasing the risk of driving.

What Causes Abnormal Noises in the Exhaust Pipe?

There are many reasons for abnormal noises in the exhaust pipe, mainly including aging of the exhaust pipe, failure of the car's three-way catalytic converter, malfunction of the ignition system, and abnormal concentration of the combustible gas mixture. The specific reasons are as follows: Aging of the Exhaust Pipe: When a car is too old, the exhaust pipe is prone to aging problems, leading to loosening, detachment, or holes, which eventually cause abnormal noises. This situation is relatively simple to resolve—just re-fix or replace the exhaust pipe. Failure of the Car's Three-Way Catalytic Converter: If the car's three-way catalytic converter fails, it cannot properly purify exhaust gases, causing them to clog and compress inside, leading to abnormal noises. In this case, it is necessary to visit a repair shop or a 4S store for professional inspection and repair.

What is the angle between the crank throws of a four-stroke six-cylinder engine?

The angle between the crank throws of a four-stroke six-cylinder engine is 120 degrees. Power stroke: The process of converting the internal energy of fuel into mechanical energy inside the engine. Whether it is a two-stroke engine or a four-stroke engine, it must go through four working processes: intake (scavenging), compression, combustion expansion, and exhaust to complete a working cycle. Working principle: In a four-stroke engine, the crankshaft rotates twice (720 degrees), the piston reciprocates twice, and the engine completes a working cycle, meaning each stroke completes a working cycle. In a two-stroke engine, the crankshaft rotates once (360 degrees), the piston reciprocates once, and the engine completes a working cycle, meaning every two strokes complete a working cycle.

What is the difference between leather and genuine leather steering wheel materials?

There is no difference between leather and genuine leather steering wheel materials. Installing a genuine leather steering wheel provides an excellent grip for driving, and a genuine leather steering wheel cover offers smoother operation compared to the original plastic steering wheel. Whether to replace with a genuine leather cover: If your car originally comes with a stitched genuine leather steering wheel, there is no need to add a genuine leather cover. Some high-end models already feature a genuine leather multifunction steering wheel, which offers a great feel even without a cover. Benefits of switching to genuine leather: If the original steering wheel is not made of genuine leather and the grip feels unsatisfactory, you can choose to add a steering wheel cover. This improves the texture when your palms come into contact with the wheel and reduces wear and tear. When purchasing a steering wheel cover, pay attention to a few key points to avoid compromising driving safety.

How long does a new car have to be unregistered before late fees are charged?

New cars that remain unregistered for 60 days will incur late fees. Tax declaration must be completed within 60 days from the date of purchase; late fees are calculated at 0.05% per day. Detailed explanation: Payment of fines: For on-site traffic violations where penalty notices are issued, fines must be paid within 15 days at the DMV, bank, or postal service outlets. For electronic violations, fines must be confirmed and paid either at the DMV or online before the annual vehicle inspection. Late fees: For on-site violations, if the fine is not paid within 15 days, or for electronic violations, if the fine is not paid within 15 days after the violation is confirmed, a late fee of 3% of the fine amount will be charged daily until the fine or the late fee equals the original fine amount.

Will Insurance Cover Engine Damage?

Generally, car engine failure cannot be claimed through insurance, but if the engine damage is caused by an accident, it will be covered. No coverage for natural damage: If the engine failure is due to inherent vehicle issues, the insurance company will not provide coverage. If the owner encounters such a situation after purchasing the car, they can check whether the vehicle is still under warranty. If it is within the warranty period, they can request compensation from the 4S store. If the warranty has expired, the owner will have to pay out of pocket for repairs or engine replacement at the 4S store. Accident damage will be covered: If the car engine damage falls within the coverage of the car damage insurance, the owner can claim compensation from the insurance company. In cases where the engine is damaged due to collisions or certain natural disasters, the owner should promptly notify the insurance company. After an on-site assessment by the insurance company's staff, the owner can receive appropriate compensation.
