Precautions for brake fluid replacement include completely removing air. The method for replacing brake fluid is as follows: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, open the hood, and drain the fluid from the reservoir; 2. Use a funnel to fill the reservoir with new brake fluid; 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle and remove the tires starting from the rear wheels; 4. Remove the rubber dust cap from the brake caliper; 5. Use a wrench to loosen the bleeder screw and attach a rubber tube to it, connecting it to a drain bottle; 6. Press the brake pedal inside the vehicle while observing the fluid drainage until the fluid level in the reservoir under the hood reaches the lower limit. Brake fluids include castor oil alcohol type, synthetic type, and mineral oil type.

Why is the radio of Wuling Zhiguang not working?

If the playback time changes but there is no sound, it should be due to amplifier damage or the output plug falling off. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Check the fuse: Check if there is power, with a focus on inspecting the fuse. 2. Check if playback is normal: If there is power (with display), check if the disc player (cassette, USB drive) playback is normal. If the playback time changes but there is no sound, it should be due to amplifier damage or the output plug falling off. 3. Check the disc player: If the disc player works normally but the radio is silent, check the radio antenna. If the radio circuit is damaged, it generally cannot be repaired by oneself.

What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving Through Water?

When driving through water, pay attention to the following points: 1. Drive at low speed while maintaining throttle: When driving through water, always engage a low gear and maintain steady throttle pressure to pass through in one go without interrupting the throttle. This is especially important in deeper water sections to ensure continuous throttle application, preventing water from entering the exhaust pipe and causing the engine to stall. 2. Avoid accelerating sharply: Do not accelerate sharply when passing through waterlogged areas, as this risky behavior can lead to severe consequences like water entering the vehicle. Rapid driving can splash large amounts of water, creating strong impacts that may flood the vehicle and negatively affect others and nearby vehicles. 3. Observe the path of vehicles ahead: If the road conditions are unclear, do not proceed recklessly. Instead, wait and observe whether other vehicles can pass and note their routes. Note that if you're driving a sedan, avoid following high-clearance vehicles like SUVs, as their paths may not be suitable for lower-clearance sedans. 4. Do not restart the engine if it stalls in water: If the vehicle stalls due to water ingress, do not attempt to restart it forcibly, as this can severely damage the engine. Additionally, most insurance policies do not cover damages caused by restarting a stalled engine in water. 5. Identify flood-prone areas before departure: During the rainy season, always identify and avoid frequently flooded areas before heading out to prevent accidents.

Should a leaking car shock absorber be repaired or replaced?

Car shock absorber leaks require replacement. Below are the relevant details: 1. Shock Absorber: It is a wearable part during vehicle usage. The construction quality of the shock absorber directly affects the smoothness of the car's ride and the lifespan of other components, hence it should always be kept in good working condition. 2. Suspension System: As elastic elements generate vibrations upon impact, shock absorbers are installed in parallel with these elements in the suspension system to improve ride comfort. Most automotive suspension systems use hydraulic shock absorbers to dampen vibrations. Their working principle involves the piston inside the shock absorber moving up and down when relative motion occurs between the frame (or body) and the axle due to vibration, causing the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through various orifices.

Does It Matter If It Rains the Second Day After Crystal Coating?

It is recommended not to drive the car out if it rains the second day after crystal coating. After the vehicle undergoes crystal coating, it is advised not to wash the car for three days. If the car gets rained on while driving, rinse it with clean water immediately and then use a dry towel to absorb the water. Below is relevant information: Rain the second day after crystal coating: The sealant requires 12 hours to cure. After 12 hours, it can be exposed to water. Within 12 hours, any moisture will affect the curing process: 1. Glazing is a new concept derived from car wax, a petroleum product refined from by-products of oil. Using a specialized car polishing machine, the glaze is pressed into the car paint to form a strong, mesh-like protective layer. Each operation will more or less damage the delicate outermost clear coat, thus accelerating paint aging to some extent. 2. Methods like waxing, polishing, coating, and glazing only enhance the brightness of the car paint and slightly improve resistance to dust, water stains, and UV rays from sunlight, but none of them will change the hardness of the paint. 3. If the damage is obvious, the only solution is to repaint the car.
