The reasons for a heavy steering wheel are: 1. Insufficient power steering fluid, which is the main source of power for driving the car. When the power steering fluid is insufficient, the steering wheel becomes heavy; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid prevents it from functioning properly and driving the car; 3. Power steering system failure, possibly due to poor circuit contact in the power steering system. The correct way to steer: 1. When turning left, both hands rotate together. When the hands are about to cross, the right hand remains on the steering wheel while the left hand moves to the right side of the steering wheel to continue turning, then both hands rotate accordingly; 2. The same applies when turning right, just switch the roles of the left and right hands.

What are the causes of high car water temperature?

The causes of high car water temperature are: 1. Insufficient coolant in the engine cooling system; 2. Thermostat malfunction leading to excessively high water temperature; 3. Abnormal operation of the cooling fan, resulting in poor heat dissipation of the coolant; 4. Water pump malfunction causing unsmooth rotation; 5. Engine oil entering the radiator. The solutions for excessively high car water temperature are: 1. Pull over to the roadside; 2. Cover the radiator cap with a multi-folded wet cloth, then slightly open the cap to allow steam to slowly escape; 3.

What Causes Engine Oil to Turn Black?

Engine oil turns black due to excessive accumulation of carbon deposits and sludge inside the engine. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and metal wear particles from engine components back to the oil tank, flushing away contaminants generated on the working surfaces of the parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning it in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work.
