Suzuki SX4's heavy steering wheel is due to the damage of the vehicle's power steering pump. The following is an introduction to the related content of friction sound when turning the steering wheel: Defects in the shock absorber's plane bearing: The function of the car shock absorber plane bearing is to provide a shock-absorbing and flexible connection between the vehicle body and the suspension, avoiding direct friction. Loose stabilizer bar: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise when turning the steering wheel and when driving on uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be resolved by adding shims.

Why can't the trunk of the classic Focus be opened?

Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue. Detailed explanation for the classic Focus trunk not opening is as follows: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder problem: If you frequently use the key to open the trunk, the linkage rod may be broken. Go to a repair shop for inspection. If you always use the remote control to open the trunk, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusted. Spray some rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times to open it. 2. Frozen or stuck: If washed in winter, it might be frozen. In summer, something might be stuck. 3. Trunk itself has issues: The trunk itself may have problems, such as a broken wire or other trunk-related issues causing the car trunk not to open.

How often should the transmission fluid be changed for a classic Focus?

For the classic Focus, the transmission fluid should be changed approximately every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. The consequences of not changing the fluid for a long time and the methods are as follows: Consequences of not changing the fluid for a long time: Automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid are different. Automatic transmission fluid first serves a lubrication function and second, it also facilitates gear shifting. Therefore, not changing it for a long time can lead to poor lubrication in the transmission, severe wear of components, and a shortened lifespan of the transmission. It can also cause strong jerking sensations during gear shifts. Hence, it is necessary to change the transmission fluid regularly, and at the same time, the transmission fluid filter should also be replaced. Methods for changing transmission fluid: There are two methods for changing the fluid: one is gravity replacement, and the other is machine circulation replacement. Machine circulation replacement is recommended because it can clean the transmission, whereas gravity replacement only changes the fluid and does not provide a cleaning effect.

What is the tire model of the imported Volkswagen Touareg?

The tire model of the imported Volkswagen Touareg is 255/55R19. The first number 255 indicates the tire width is 255MM, 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 19 denotes the rim diameter is 19 inches. The imported Volkswagen Touareg has a top speed of 229km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds. In addition to the model, the tire also carries the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese Pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire. For practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".

What type of engine oil is suitable for Jinbei Haishi?

Jinbei Haishi uses 5W-30 semi-synthetic engine oil. For later maintenance and oil changes, you can choose fully synthetic oils from Shell or Mobil. The official manual recommends using 5W-30 engine oil. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperature conditions. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the vehicle. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value indicates better ability to maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in Jinbei Haishi is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back to the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply engine oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new engine oil through the filler port on the engine valve cover, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to ensure the engine oil level is within the standard range.

What causes the lack of power during acceleration in a classic Focus?

Fuel system malfunction is the cause. Here is a detailed explanation of the lack of power during acceleration in a classic Focus: 1. Fuel system malfunction: Throttle carbon buildup only affects idle instability and has little impact on engine acceleration performance. A clogged or waterlogged air filter reduces air intake, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, incomplete combustion, and poor acceleration. In this case, the exhaust pipe emits heavy black smoke. Cracks in fuel lines or loose, leaking fittings, insufficient fuel pump pressure, or poor fuel supply can all affect acceleration performance. Poor atomization or clogging of fuel injectors may cause cylinders to misfire or not work at all, impacting acceleration. The exhaust pipe may emit black smoke. Fuel quality is another factor. For example, excessive water content in fuel can cause white smoke from the exhaust pipe. 2. Electrical system malfunction: A faulty mass airflow sensor can reduce air intake, leading to an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture, affecting acceleration performance. A damaged spark plug in a single cylinder (i.e., misfiring) can also impact acceleration. Additionally, leaking ignition wires can cause issues. Overheating or a faulty temperature sensor can similarly affect acceleration. A clogged catalytic converter or faulty oxygen sensor can also lead to poor engine acceleration. 3. Mechanical malfunction: Wear and tear on engine valves, cylinder liners, pistons, or piston rings can result in insufficient cylinder pressure. Excessive intake valve clearance or insufficient exhaust valve clearance can also cause problems.
