Here are the reasons for parking brake failure: 1. Excessive clearance between friction pads and brake drum, oil contamination on friction pads or brake drum, severe wear of friction pads, exposed rivets, or surface hardening causing slippage. 2. Severe wear of parking brake pin shaft, excessive clearance, or over-adjusted parking brake lever. Additional information: 1. The parking function refers to when the engine is running or the vehicle is in motion, the parking brake is implemented through the DSC hydraulic system acting on the front and rear axle disc brakes. 2. When the engine is off and the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake operates via an electromechanical servo unit that manipulates the cables acting on the dual self-energizing drum brakes on the rear axle.

Why Does the Car Air Conditioner Make a Gurgling Water Sound?

Possible reasons for the gurgling water sound in a car air conditioner include: 1. Normal vaporization cooling process: The gurgling sound from the indoor unit is caused by the normal refrigerant vaporization cooling process in the pipeline. 2. Indoor unit fan: Caused by operational vibrations, in which case the outlet louvers should be properly secured and the filter cleaned. 3. Semi-fluid flow: The sound of refrigerant in a semi-fluid state flowing through the pipes, which can also be resolved by adjusting the liquid outlet valve. 4. Normal phenomenon: Flowing sounds during air conditioner cooling are normal, especially right after startup. As long as the water-like sound is not too loud, it should become inaudible once the system stabilizes. If this sound persists frequently, it may indicate a vehicle issue. Poor installation, such as a flattened copper pipe, can also cause gurgling or water-like sounds.

How many seconds does it take for a car to run 100 meters?

1.6L compact cars typically achieve a 0-100 km/h acceleration time between 11 to 13 seconds, while 2.0T midsize sedans range from 7 to 8 seconds. Supercars can accelerate in less than 3.8 seconds. Engine maintenance involves the following two key points: 1. Clean the air filter: The air filter is crucial for engine air intake during operation. If the air filter becomes clogged or accumulates excessive dust, it will restrict engine airflow. Additionally, large amounts of dust entering the cylinders will accelerate carbon buildup, causing ignition issues, power loss, and consequently increased fuel consumption. 2. Remove throttle valve sludge: Sludge forms due to carbon deposits from fuel combustion exhaust gases accumulating on the throttle valve, along with impurities not filtered by the air filter. Excessive sludge creates air resistance in the intake system, leading to higher fuel consumption.

How to Identify a Faulty Pressure Bearing?

Methods to identify a faulty pressure bearing: When the car is turning, there will be an obvious sense of sinking and instability, and in severe cases, it may collide with the chassis. To check if the pressure bearing needs replacement, open the hood and observe whether the gap spacing at the suspension positions on both sides has increased. The impact of a damaged pressure bearing cannot be ignored. Minor issues may affect comfort, increase tire noise, and cause the vehicle to pull to one side, while severe cases can lead to suspension damage, resulting in steering system failure and traffic accidents. The lifespan of a pressure bearing is generally between 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Apart from the quality of the product itself, driving habits and methods are also crucial factors affecting its lifespan.
