The intermittent wiper setting failure on the Buick Excelle may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Internal short circuit in the motor: After opening the car hood, you can see the wiper motor. You can touch the wiper motor by hand. If it feels hot, it indicates an internal short circuit in the motor, and replacing the motor can solve the problem. 2. Damaged wiper blades: If you usually neglect the maintenance of the car wiper blades and find them severely damaged during rainy days, making them unable to work properly, replacing a set of wiper blades in time will suffice. 3. Linkage failure: The wiper linkage has many connection points. If these points have issues, the wiper will not work properly. You can judge whether it is a linkage failure by observing the operation of the wiper. 4. Blown wiper fuse: To protect the car's circuits, each electrical device is equipped with a fuse. If the wiper does not work, you can check if the wiper fuse is blown and replace it with a spare fuse from the car. 5. Possible issue with the wiper switch: Although the wiper switch is not frequently used, car electronics themselves are unstable. Therefore, if no issues are found in the above checks, you should consider that the wiper switch might have a problem. You can use a multimeter to measure the condition of the switch or directly replace it with a new one for testing. 6. Wiper circuit failure: Checking the wiper circuit is a complex and time-consuming task. You need to be proficient in using an automotive multimeter, measuring voltage, resistance, and current, and combining this with practical knowledge to identify the circuit fault point causing the wiper to malfunction.

What is the maximum speed that a 95V tire can withstand?

95V tires can withstand a maximum speed of 240 kilometers per hour. 95V represents the tire's load index and speed rating, where 95 is the load index and V is the speed rating. The load index and speed rating are marked on the sidewall of the tire, which also contains other tire information and parameters, including tire specifications, recommended tire pressure, manufacturing date, etc. Since tires are rubber products, they will age even if left unused for extended periods. Generally, tires installed on vehicles can be used for four years, so it is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years.

Does Modifying the Exhaust System on the New Audi A6 Damage the Car?

Modifying the exhaust system has certain impacts on the car. Here are the extended details: 1. Currently, most aftermarket parts available in the market are designed to increase exhaust flow. When only modifying the exhaust pipe to increase exhaust flow, the enhanced air expulsion slightly improves air intake, resulting in a noticeable but minor increase in torque output. Additionally, changes in the muffler structure make the exhaust sound louder. 2. The negative effects include a rise in engine temperature. In mild cases, this may lead to slight evaporation of coolant, while in severe cases, it can cause oil evaporation, resulting in minor oil burning and exceeding emission standards.

What does ACC adaptive cruise control mean?

ACC adaptive cruise control refers to an automotive function that allows the vehicle's cruise control system to adjust speed according to traffic conditions. It is an intelligent automatic control system. When the distance to the vehicle ahead becomes too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to appropriately brake the wheels and reduce engine power output, thereby maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. The function of adaptive cruise control is that by sensing the force applied by the driver on the feedback accelerator pedal, the ACC control unit can determine whether to execute cruise control to reduce driver fatigue.
