The reasons for the steering column module failure in the Mercedes-Benz E260L are as follows: Incorrect front wheel alignment: The cause is incorrect front wheel alignment and insufficient tire pressure. Deformation or wear of the steering linkage, overly tight ball joints, lack of oil in the steering gear, excessive clearance in the steering gear meshing pair, bearing damage, or excessive preload. Function of the steering column module: The steering column is the component that connects the steering wheel to the steering gear in the steering system, primarily responsible for transmitting torque. Through the steering column, the driver transmits torque to the steering gear, enabling the steering gear to achieve steering. Common types of steering columns include hydraulic power steering columns, electro-hydraulic power steering columns, and electric power steering columns, each with different systems.

Reasons for Engine Idle Vibration?

Engine idle vibration can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Blockage of the idle air orifice, preventing the idle system from functioning properly. Solution: Clean or unclog the air orifice. 2. Cold start: Insufficient combustion, leading to unstable idle. Solution: It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the intake pressure sensor. 3. Low engine temperature: The ECU detects this and increases fuel injection, causing the engine to accelerate and auxiliary heating to activate, resulting in unstable idle. Solution: It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure. 4. Issues with the engine intake system, engine air filter, or throttle carbon buildup. Solution: It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for a comprehensive inspection, repair, or maintenance.

What Causes Steering Wheel Play?

Steering wheel play is caused by improper assembly, adjustment, or mechanical wear between the steering system and the steering wheels. Below is expanded information about steering wheel play: 1. Steering wheel play refers to the free movement (also called free angle or travel) of the steering wheel: it is the angle the steering wheel can turn without causing the steering wheels to deviate. 2. Steering wheel play is the cumulative result of the combined gaps in the entire steering system and steering wheels: free movement in the steering wheel helps mitigate road impact, but excessive play can reduce steering sensitivity and compromise driving safety.

How to Replace Refrigerant in a Car?

There are two methods for replacing refrigerant in a car: the high-pressure side charging method and the low-pressure side charging method. However, both methods require professional equipment and should be performed at a professional facility. Below is some information about refrigerant: 1. Most vehicle air conditioning systems use refrigerant: The refrigerant commonly used in vehicle air conditioning is R134a, which is quite environmentally friendly. 2. When the vehicle air conditioning is cooling: The compressor clutch engages, and the engine drives the compressor to rotate. As the compressor rotates, it continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator.

How often should brake hoses be replaced?

There is no fixed time for replacing brake hoses; they require regular maintenance and should be replaced by professionals. More information about brake hoses is as follows: 1. Automotive brake hoses, also known as brake lines, are components used in the vehicle's braking system. 2. Brake hoses are classified into two types: flexible hoses and rigid pipes. Brake rigid pipes are mainly made of No. 20 steel and copper pipes, which offer good shaping and heat dissipation. Brake flexible hoses are primarily made of nylon tubes (PA11) and are marked with the CCC certification, being more flexible. 3. The main function of brake hoses: They transmit the braking medium during vehicle braking, ensuring that the braking force is transferred to the brake shoes or calipers to generate braking force.
