Reasons for uneven wear between left and right brake pads are as follows: 1. The rate of wear is mainly directly related to the material of the brake disc and brake pads, so uneven material of the brake pads is one possibility; 2. Frequent braking during turns causes uneven force distribution on the left and right wheels, leading to uneven wear; 3. The right brake disc may be deformed; 4. Uneven retraction of the brake caliper pistons, such as one side's piston retraction bolt being dirty; 5. Significant difference in the length of the left and right brake fluid pipes; 6. The telescopic rod is sealed by a rubber boot, but if water enters or lubrication is insufficient, the rod cannot move freely, causing the outer pad to remain in contact with the disc and resulting in additional wear; 7. Inconsistent braking times between the left and right brakes.

Can Temporary License Plates Enter Automatic Recognition Parking Lots?

Temporary license plates cannot enter automatic recognition parking lots. Reasons for not being able to enter: Since current automatic recognition parking lots rely on cameras to identify license plates, temporary plates cannot be recognized, making entry impossible unless using a manual exit lane. However, whether temporary plates can be recognized depends on the specific functionality of the parking lot's recognition system. Methods for temporary license plates to enter automatic recognition parking lots: As temporary license plates cannot be recognized by the parking lot's system, you can try pressing the green button on the entrance host machine. After pressing, the host will issue a temporary card, which should be presented to the host machine upon exit for payment. Alternatively, if there is a QR code scanner at the parking lot entrance, you can try scanning the QR code with your phone, which will automatically open the barrier. For parking lots with a guard booth, you can drive to the booth and ask the security guard to open the gate.

Is There a Problem with Adding Engine Oil to Hydraulic Oil?

Adding engine oil to hydraulic oil is problematic and will render the hydraulic oil unusable. Consequences of adding engine oil to hydraulic oil: Mixing a small amount of engine oil into hydraulic oil will alter the viscosity and viscosity-temperature properties of the hydraulic oil, affecting its performance. Quality requirements for hydraulic oil: Suitable viscosity and good viscosity-temperature properties to ensure accurate and responsive power transmission under varying working temperatures, while also ensuring proper lubrication of hydraulic components; excellent rust prevention and oxidation stability to resist degradation under high temperature and pressure conditions, ensuring a long service life; good anti-foaming properties to allow foam generated under continuous mechanical agitation to dissipate quickly, ensuring stable power transmission and preventing accelerated oxidation of the hydraulic oil.

How many kilometers can you drive after the car fuel tank warning light comes on?

After the fuel tank warning light comes on, you can drive approximately 80KM at high speed, and about 30 to 50KM at low speed. However, each vehicle may vary, so it is recommended that drivers measure it themselves while driving. If unsure, it's advisable to refuel when there's less than one bar remaining. Meaning of the fuel tank warning light: If the fuel tank warning light comes on, there's no need to worry excessively, as there is still some remaining fuel in the tank to ensure the car can safely travel a certain distance. Essentially, the fuel tank warning light serves as a reminder for the driver to refuel promptly and find the nearest gas station. How to handle the fuel gauge warning: When encountering a fuel gauge warning while driving, drivers should try to reduce fuel consumption by turning off the air conditioning and other power-consuming devices in the car, allowing the vehicle to operate at minimum power consumption. Additionally, maintaining a steady speed is recommended. Of course, the most effective way to avoid running out of fuel is to check the remaining fuel level before embarking on a long trip and refuel immediately if it's insufficient.

Is it necessary to change tires at 60,000 kilometers?

Tires must be replaced at 60,000 kilometers, as their service life is generally 4 to 6 years or 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Tire usage duration: Since the main raw material of tires is rubber, natural aging occurs over time, mainly manifested as the tires hardening and the sidewalls becoming covered with small cracks. Typically, natural aging takes 4-5 years or a mileage of 60,000-80,000 kilometers. This means tires should be replaced promptly after 5 years or when the mileage reaches 60,000 kilometers to prevent the risk of tire blowouts. Tire usage precautions: Stay away from curbs to avoid squeezing the tires; avoid direct sunlight, as rubber can age and soften under high temperatures, potentially causing the tires to expand and crack, naturally reducing their lifespan.

Why does the tire pressure warning light come on when the tire pressure is normal?

The reasons for the tire pressure monitoring alarm when the tire pressure is normal are as follows: Malfunction in the tire pressure sensor or receiver module: This is a relatively rare occurrence, as tire pressure monitors generally have good durability and their lifespan can usually match that of the vehicle. However, signal interference can sometimes occur, which may cause the tire pressure sensor to give false alarms. Driving quickly over uneven road surfaces: When the tire is impacted at high speed, the internal tire pressure may increase, especially when driving in summer. The thermal expansion and contraction of air can also trigger the tire pressure warning. Minor tire puncture or slow leak: Sometimes, a tire may be punctured or experience slow leakage due to aging. These minor pressure fluctuations may not be noticeable to the naked eye, but the tire pressure monitoring system can detect them.

Is it normal for one front tire pressure to be 240 and the other 260?

A tire pressure of 260KPa is abnormal for your car, as it exceeds the standard tire pressure range for ordinary household vehicles. The normal tire pressure range should be between 240KPa and 250KPa. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle while driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, and impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire bursts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in tire bursts; increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.
