In the use of vehicles, oil leakage failures often occur, which will directly affect the technical performance of the car, leading to waste of lubricating oil and fuel, power consumption, affecting the cleanliness of the vehicle, and causing environmental pollution. Due to oil leakage and the reduction of lubricating oil inside the machine, poor lubrication and insufficient cooling of components will occur, leading to early damage of components and even leaving hidden dangers of accidents. The following are some other introductions about the steering gear: 1. Replacement limits: (1) Steering gear oil also has a usage time or mileage. When these usage limits are reached, the steering gear oil also needs to be replaced. (2) If the steering gear oil is too dirty or deteriorated and loses its original effect, it can easily cause serious consequences, so it also needs to be replaced in time. 2. Replacement cycle: Steering gear oil usually needs to be replaced every 2-3 years or when the car has traveled 40,000-50,000 kilometers.

Where is the water temperature gauge located on the MG ZS?

The water temperature gauge of the MG ZS is displayed on the right side of the central instrument panel. To check the water temperature gauge: Step on the brake pedal of the MG ZS, press the one-touch start button, and the instrument panel of the MG ZS will light up, indicating that the vehicle's power is fully connected. Meaning of the water temperature gauge: One mark on the MG ZS water temperature gauge represents 50 degrees Celsius, while four marks indicate the normal operating temperature of 90 degrees Celsius. Function of the water temperature gauge: The car water temperature gauge indicates whether the engine's cooling system is functioning properly. It consists of a pointer, scales, and the letters C and H, where C represents 60 degrees Celsius and the red H mark indicates 110 degrees Celsius. The primary function of the car water temperature gauge is to display the temperature of the coolant in the radiator while the engine is running, with the scale measured in degrees Celsius. When starting the engine, the water temperature gauge should read no lower than 50 degrees Celsius; during normal driving, the normal reading should be between 80-90 degrees Celsius.

What Are the Reasons for the Vehicle's Engine Malfunction Light Staying On?

The reasons for the vehicle's engine malfunction light staying on are: 1. Sensor damage, poor contact, or signal interruption; 2. Poor engine maintenance; 3. Poor quality of fuel and oil; 4. Incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture; 5. Spark plug or ignition coil failure; 6. Fuel pump failure or clogged fuel lines; 7. Clogged air filter. The solutions for the vehicle's engine malfunction light being on are: 1. Use fuel additives to clean the entire fuel system; 2. After cleaning the engine, use higher-grade gasoline; 3. Use high-quality fuel additives to improve the cleanliness level of the fuel; 4. Replace the catalytic converter.

How to Bleed Car Brakes?

Method for bleeding car brakes: Requires two people to complete. One person sits in the driver's seat and steps on the brake pedal to generate brake pressure. The other person works underneath the vehicle to release the air. The person pressing the brake pedal must firmly depress it and keep it pressed without releasing until the person underneath finishes bleeding the brakes. If a wheel's brake cylinder has issues or a new brake caliper is replaced, bleed that wheel's brakes. If the brake pedal still feels soft after bleeding, proceed to bleed the other wheels' brake cylinders. Always check and top up the brake fluid during the bleeding process.

Should a scratched car tire be repaired or replaced?

If a car tire is scratched, it is recommended to replace it promptly if the scratch is on the sidewall. The sidewall is relatively weak, and sidewall scratches are generally irreparable. Continuing to use such a tire poses a risk of blowout and safety hazards. Regular tire inspections are essential, especially before highway driving. In addition to checking tire pressure, inspect the sidewalls for cracks and monitor tread wear. Any potential hazards should be addressed immediately. From a usage perspective, the sidewall of a tire displays a four-digit code indicating the manufacturing date—the first two digits represent the week, and the last two digits represent the year. Typically, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers in mileage.

What is a Strut Bar?

Strut bar is fixed inside the engine compartment, this component connects the left and right strut towers. It is a modification part that can enhance the body rigidity. The component is secured with screws to the left and right strut towers in the engine compartment. Strut towers are used to mount the front shock absorbers, which can be seen after opening the engine hood. If a car has good body rigidity, the body response speed will be very fast, making the body's reaction almost synchronous with the driver's inputs. If the body rigidity is relatively low, the body response speed will not be synchronized with the driver's operations, resulting in poorer handling performance. Some vehicles with weak rigidity exhibit poor directional stability during cornering and lack precise steering accuracy.
