The situations when brake pads need to be replaced are: 1. The vehicle dashboard has a brake pad wear limit warning light; 2. The thickness of the brake pads is between 1 to 1.5cm, and when the wear thickness is less than 3mm, the brake pads should be replaced promptly; 3. There is brake caliper oil leakage, contaminating the brake pads and soaking into them, and oil stains are still found after sanding with sandpaper, requiring replacement; 4. The brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir decreases; 5. A squeaking sound is heard when braking. The method for replacing brake pads: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level height to prevent brake fluid overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the bolts of the brake caliper and take out the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads and tighten the guide bolts.

Why is there a strange noise in the front of the car when passing over speed bumps?

There may be several reasons why a car makes strange noises in the front when passing over speed bumps: 1. Dust and impurities entering the car's interior: The purpose of the dust cover is to keep dust and other impurities out. When the dust cover is damaged, a lot of dust can enter the car's interior, causing the car to make strange noises when passing over speed bumps. 2. Shock absorber malfunction: Once the car's shock absorber has a problem, the car cannot rebound normally when passing over uneven road sections. 3. Loose belt in the engine: Under normal circumstances, the belt in the engine should not be loose. However, prolonged jolting of the car can cause the belt to loosen. Once the belt becomes loose, the car will make strange noises when the driver passes over speed bumps.

Are Car Fuel Savers Useful?

Car fuel savers are useful. Here is an introduction to fuel savers: 1. Introduction: Fuel savers are a general term for all physical and mechanical fuel-saving products. Currently, fuel-saving products can be categorized into additive types and physical-mechanical types. 2. Function: Fuel-saving products primarily work by altering the physical structure of the fuel to ensure complete combustion, thereby achieving fuel savings and reducing environmental pollution from exhaust emissions. 3. Principle: Using the natural suction generated by the vehicle's engine after operation, air is drawn through water in a water supply device, making the air moist. The moist air, under the suction force of the engine, travels through a pipeline to an evaporation catalyst installed at the base of the engine's exhaust pipe. Inside the evaporation catalyst, the moist air is evaporated by the high temperature (200°C-350°C) of the exhaust pipe, producing extremely fine water vapor. Under the action of the catalyst in the evaporation catalyst, the fine water vapor forms a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen ions.

Why does the front parking sensor keep beeping?

There are several possible reasons why the front parking sensor keeps beeping: 1. Signal blockage: Something may be stuck on the radar probe, blocking the signal. In this case, check if there is any obstruction in the vehicle's radar hole. 2. Water ingress in the radar: Leakage from the windshield washer hose or water seeping into the radar system. The owner needs to seal the leak (or replace the hose) and drain any accumulated water in the radar system. 3. Signal interference: The radar ultrasonic signal may be malfunctioning, causing false alarms. Restart the engine, drive the vehicle to an open area, and try reversing again to see if the issue persists.
