Data includes: Original AMG 19-inch wheels and tires for the Mercedes-Benz C63. Original 19-inch forged wheels for the C63 AMG + Michelin PSS racing tires. Wheel specifications: Front 245/35/19 8.5Jx19H2 ET38; Rear 265/35/19 9.5Jx19H2 ET56, standard tires, possible lowering of the chassis later. Changes after the upgrade: 19-inch wheels will be wider compared to the original ones, and of course, the tire noise will be louder. Another issue is that the larger the wheel, the thinner the tire sidewall. Overall, if the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is fitted with 19-inch wheels, it may be less practical. While 19-inch wheels look better, the front tires with a 40 aspect ratio and rear tires with a 35 aspect ratio will directly result in more concern when driving over potholes. On unstable road surfaces, the feedback to the driver will be much more pronounced. It will definitely be bumpier, and the tires will be more prone to bulging. Therefore, if you are considering upgrading to 19-inch wheels for your Mercedes-Benz C-Class, it is recommended to avoid frequently driving on bumpy roads and to replace the springs at the same time as the wheels.

Is it better to fully spray or partially spray the bumper?

The bumper of a car should ideally be fully sprayed as it appears more flawless. Below is relevant information about car bumpers: 1. Car bumpers are divided into front and rear ends. Installing bumpers at both the front and rear of a car not only serves a decorative function but also protects the vehicle body. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, car bumpers have undergone innovative changes. Currently, front and rear bumpers maintain their original protective functions while pursuing lightweight designs. Previously, bumpers were primarily made of metal materials, formed by stamping steel plates with a thickness of over 3 millimeters. 2. Car bumpers serve purposes such as safety protection, vehicle decoration, and improving the vehicle's aerodynamic characteristics. From a safety perspective, they provide a cushioning effect during low-speed collisions, protecting the front and rear body of the car. In accidents involving pedestrians, they can offer some protection to the pedestrians.

What is the lifespan of a dry dual-clutch?

The lifespan of a dry dual-clutch is generally around 350,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about dry dual-clutches: 1. The dry dual-clutch was actually developed based on the technology of the 6-speed DQ250 wet dual-clutch, but with a simplified hydraulic system. 2. Since the dry dual-clutch saves on the related hydraulic system, it has advantages in terms of manufacturing cost, weight reduction, and space structure optimization. Additionally, due to the absence of hydraulic resistance, the transmission efficiency is higher, and fuel economy is better compared to wet dual-clutches. 3. The working principle of the dry dual-clutch is as follows: it consists of three similarly sized clutch discs installed coaxially in a stacked arrangement. The two outer clutch discs are connected to gears 1, 3, 5, 7 and gears 2, 4, 6, and reverse, respectively. The middle disc moves between them, engaging or disengaging with the two clutch discs to shift gears.

What letter represents neutral in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission cars have a neutral gear, represented by the letter N. Automatic transmissions have the following gear positions: 1. P (Park): Represents the parking gear, used when the vehicle is parked, including when turning off the engine or during prolonged idling. 2. R (Reverse): Represents the reverse gear, used when backing up the vehicle. 3. N (Neutral): Represents the neutral gear, used for short-term parking. 4. D (Drive): Represents the drive gear; when engaged, the vehicle moves forward, and the transmission automatically shifts between 1st and the highest gear based on the vehicle's speed and throttle position. 5. S (Sport): Represents sport mode; when engaged, the transmission delays shifting for enhanced performance.

What does SVS on the dashboard mean?

SVS on the dashboard is the indicator light for all electronic faults. When the vehicle is started, this light will illuminate if any connector is disturbed. Some faults can be resolved by clearing the fault codes, while others require repair or part replacement to eliminate. The SVS light in a car is similar to the engine fault light. When the SVS indicator lights up, it indicates that the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a sensor or that the sensor has exceeded its usage standard. When the ignition is turned on, the SVS indicator light will illuminate for an automatic check and then turn off automatically after a few seconds. The SVS fault indicator is a warning light that appears when the ECU (Engine Control Unit) or TCU (Transmission Control Unit) of an electronically fuel-injected car detects a problem with the engine or automatic transmission. Therefore, all electronically fuel-injected vehicles have an SVS fault indicator. For manual transmission vehicles, it serves as the engine fault indicator, while for automatic transmission vehicles, it indicates faults in both the engine and the automatic transmission.

How to Properly Remove Old Paint from a Car

Methods for removing old paint from a car include sandblasting, manual removal, mechanical removal, chemical removal, electric grinding, and flame scraping. Among these, manual removal, mechanical removal, and chemical removal are more commonly used. Common methods for removing old paint layers from steel surfaces include flame treatment, manual or mechanical methods, and chemical methods. Flame treatment uses high temperatures from flames (such as a blowtorch) to remove oil stains, old paint edges, and oxide scales. Manual or mechanical methods involve using tools like scrapers, putty knives, wire brushes, and sandpaper to remove the paint, or using pneumatic or electric tools. Chemical methods for paint removal include using alkaline solutions and paint removers (models T-1, T-2, T-3). Alkaline solution paint removal involves brushing the alkaline solution onto the old paint layer, letting it dry slightly before reapplying, up to 3-4 times. Once the old paint layer has expanded and softened, it is scraped off cleanly with a putty knife, followed by washing the surface with hot water until all residual alkaline solution is removed.

Can Antifreeze Be Mixed Directly?

Automotive antifreeze effectively prevents the vehicle from freezing in cold weather. However, the formulations of various antifreeze products generally differ, so it is best not to mix them for use. Precautions for Antifreeze Replacement: Use antifreeze of the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas. If mixed, multiple additives could undergo chemical reactions, rendering them ineffective. The main components of antifreeze are 50% purified water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Methods to Determine Low Antifreeze Levels: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it may indicate low antifreeze levels, though it could also be due to excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Inspect the water level markings on the antifreeze tank. The antifreeze level should normally be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it is below the minimum mark, it indicates a lack of antifreeze.
