During the break-in period of a new car, the speed should not be too high, and attention should be paid to maintenance. The specific precautions are as follows: Pay attention to new car maintenance: Develop good driving habits and regularly take the car to the service shop for maintenance. Avoid overloading, and change the engine oil and filters regularly. Perform regular tire maintenance. Check engine oil and coolant: During the break-in period of a new car, frequently check whether the engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte are sufficient. If any shortage is found, replenish it promptly. After reaching a certain mileage (either during or after the break-in period), take the car to the service station for inspection and maintenance, including changing the engine oil and oil filter, and perform a comprehensive check of the chassis system.

What are the symptoms of a stretched car timing chain?

Generally, when the timing chain is stretched, there will be abnormal noises. Continuing to drive may easily cause the chain to skip teeth, resulting in incorrect ignition timing, increased engine fuel consumption, and reduced power. If the stretching becomes more severe, the engine may experience chain skipping during high-speed operation or sudden acceleration, which could lead to engine failure.

What are the steps for testing automotive fuel pressure?

First, remove the fuel pump fuse, relay, or fuel pump plug, then start the engine. After the engine stalls, restart it 2-3 times, and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Connect the fuel pressure gauge in series to the fuel inlet pipe. For vehicles with a pressure test port, connect the fuel pressure gauge to the test port. Place a towel under the connection when removing fuel pipes. Test static fuel pressure, idle fuel pressure, maximum fuel pressure, and residual fuel pressure.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioner Is Noisy at Maximum Airflow?

If the noise is caused by a damaged fan bearing, generally replacing the damaged component will suffice. If the noise is due to a deformed exhaust fan blade or a damaged exhaust fan motor, then the exhaust fan needs to be replaced. If the noise is caused by excessive dirt inside the air conditioner, then the air conditioner needs to be cleaned. If the fan is damaged, then the fan needs to be repaired.

What is the problem when a car relay becomes hot to the touch?

Abnormal heating occurs at the center of the contact point due to continuous arcing caused by repeated switching of the contacts. The internal circuit of the relay experiences phenomena such as fusing and contact melting/solidification. This may be caused by abnormal overcurrent exceeding the rated current of the contacts. Partial short-circuiting of the coil leads to fusing, coil breakage, or abnormal residual heating traces on the coil. This might result from excessive voltage being applied to the coil.
