The reasons for abnormal noise from newly replaced brake pads are: 1. Abnormal noise when braking: caused by wear between the brake pads and brake discs. The old brake pads and discs have been used together for a long time, forming a complementary shape. When new brake pads are installed, the edges of the pads may not make even contact with the discs, leading to friction and noise; 2. Issues with brake pad material: if non-standard brake pads are used, the larger particles in the material can easily cause noise when braking; 3. Installation problems: such as not applying lubricant or improperly installed brake pad shims; 4. Brake caliper not retracting properly: check if the brake caliper can retract normally, and replace it promptly if it cannot.

What does EQ in a car mean?

EQ in a car refers to the equalizer, which allows the owner to adjust the boost or attenuation of music frequencies according to their preferences and the audio source. The EQ presets multiple adjustment modes to create sound effects for playing different types of music, providing a good audio environment. Even non-professionals won't mess up the sound field—just press the preset buttons to achieve the preset effects. To make the music sound more beautiful and refined, car audio systems include an equalizer to correct the acoustic characteristics of the car interior and the frequency characteristics of the speakers, or to enhance and process the sound. It can adjust the positioning of the car's speakers, front and rear, left and right, to suit personal preferences and enhance a modern feel.

What Causes Loud Engine Noise in Cars During Summer?

Summer car engine noise may be caused by aging seals and engine oil issues. Aging Seals: Increasing engine noise in your car could indicate deteriorating sound insulation. When door and window seals age, the soundproofing effectiveness significantly decreases. Engine sounds that were previously inaudible inside the cabin become noticeable after seal deterioration. In this condition, not only engine noise but also external noises become more audible inside the vehicle. Therefore, when experiencing excessive noise, it's advisable to inspect your car's seals and perform timely maintenance. Engine Oil Problems: If the issue isn't with the seals, then the engine oil should be checked. The primary function of engine oil is to lubricate the engine. Excessive use or deterioration of oil can affect engine lubrication, leading to increased noise. If both seals and engine oil appear normal, it's recommended to visit an authorized 4S shop for professional inspection to identify any other potential causes.

Can I Continue Driving After Turning Off the Engine and Checking the Coolant?

No. When the car prompts you to turn off the engine and check the coolant, it indicates that the coolant level is low, causing the engine to overheat. Additionally, issues such as poor grounding of the coolant pump, coolant pump failure, or excessive dirt in the radiator can also lead to this situation. Related to coolant level: In this case, you need to check whether the coolant level is normal, whether the radiator fan is functioning properly, whether the radiator is severely clogged with dirt, and whether there is corrosion or poor contact in the coolant pump's grounding. Coolant: Coolant, also known as antifreeze, is a liquid composed of antifreeze additives, additives that prevent metal corrosion, and water. It must possess properties such as antifreeze capability, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and resistance to deterioration.
