The symptoms of a bad wheel hub bearing are: 1. The wheels wobble when the car is moving; 2. The wheels make abnormal noises. The maintenance methods for wheel hubs are: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the wheel hubs should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after cleaning, the wheel hubs can be waxed to maintain their luster; 3. When the wheel hub temperature is high, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean it, as this can damage the aluminum wheel hub, cause the brake disc to deform and affect braking performance. Using detergent to clean the wheel hub can cause a chemical reaction on the surface, resulting in loss of luster.

What Causes Oil Leakage at the Turbocharger Exhaust Pipe?

The reasons for oil leakage at the turbocharger exhaust pipe are: 1. Aging of oil seal gasket: After years of driving, some components inevitably age. If the gasket ages, it can cause oil leakage, requiring replacement of the gasket. 2. Poor lubrication: If the turbocharger has poor lubrication, friction between components can lead to wear and oil leakage. In this case, it's necessary to add oil or replace the worn parts. 3. Turbocharger damage: If the turbocharger is damaged due to a collision, oil leakage will occur, necessitating replacement of the turbocharger.

What does the DM gear mean?

Car DM gear is the forward creeping mode, which is only a low-speed gear and does not automatically upshift. In the creeping mode gear state, the vehicle is equivalent to being in a semi-engaged state, and only requires controlling the throttle opening to achieve slow movement of the vehicle, making it more conducive to precise control of the vehicle's position. Generally, AMT automatic transmissions are designed with Dm (creeping mode) and Rm (creeping mode), which are the semi-engaged states of the automatic transmission. When in the creeping mode gear state, the vehicle in the semi-engaged state can achieve slow movement by lightly pressing the throttle, making it very convenient in situations such as passing through width-limiting gates or reversing into parking spaces. The semi-engaged state of an automatic transmission is actually similar to that of a manual transmission, except that the gear actuator helps us achieve the control of the semi-engaged state. Similarly, in the semi-engaged state, the transmission cannot switch gears, and the clutch is in a semi-engaged state. Precautions for DM gear: The vehicle gear should not be kept in "creeping mode" for a long time, as the clutch is in a semi-engaged state at this time, and continuous high-load operation may lead to premature wear of the clutch plates. Creeping mode should only be used in scenarios such as connecting trailers, passing through width-limiting gates, or low-speed reversing into parking spaces.

What documents are required for the transfer of a vehicle whose original owner has passed away?

The heir needs to bring the death certificate to the notary office for notarization. Then, with the death certificate, the notarized inheritance certificate from the notary office, the heir's identity proof, the vehicle license, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle itself, go to the local vehicle management office to complete the transfer procedures. (For non-local residents, a temporary residence permit valid for one year is also required.) To process the inheritance notarization, it must follow the general inheritance procedures. If there is a will, the inheritance will be executed according to the will. If there is no will, the inheritance will be equally divided among the first-line heirs: the deceased's spouse, children, and parents. All first-line heirs must gather at the local notary office to select one heir, while the others sign a waiver of inheritance agreement. After notarization, the inheritance notarization certificate can be obtained. For vehicle transfer, a vehicle evaluation is required first. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the assessed vehicle value, and other fees include those for the license plate and vehicle license. The original commercial insurance of the vehicle can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions for purchasing used cars: Incomplete documentation. Complete documentation for a used car includes: the vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), the vehicle license, the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee records, and compulsory insurance. Missing vehicle registration certificates or licenses, or unpaid compulsory insurance and road maintenance fees, can cause endless trouble for the buyer. Therefore, if the seller cannot provide complete documentation, consumers should be especially cautious. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers rely on the odometer to judge the condition of the car, and sellers often take advantage of this by tampering with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not just a record of usage intensity but also an indicator of maintenance and replacement of other vehicle components. If buyers follow the tampered odometer readings for maintenance, it can lead to a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering 'external injuries'. When purchasing a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are signs of repair around the front, rear, or A, B, and C pillars, the car may have been involved in a major accident. 'Tuning the heart' to raise the price. Many consumers focus too much on the car's 'heart' (engine) and neglect the health of the car body. Sellers take advantage of this by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle's 'heart' appear younger, thereby inflating the price.
