Connecting the engine to the frame or chassis, there is a rubber block or ring in the bracket, which is the engine mount. When it is broken, symptoms such as steering wheel vibration at idle and severe body shaking will occur. More information about engine mounts is as follows: 1. The engine mount is a rubber buffer block that connects the engine to the frame, serving to reduce the vibration transmitted from the engine to the cabin. 2. Damage to the engine mount mainly affects the engine's vibration. High-speed engine noise may be related to gradual wear and aging of the engine, and the connection with using a broken engine mount for 1 or 2 years is not particularly significant.

Can Zero-Degree Windshield Washer Fluid and Minus Twenty-Degree Fluid Be Mixed?

They can be mixed, but it will reduce the freeze resistance of the minus twenty-degree windshield washer fluid. Automotive windshield washer fluids are generally categorized into: Summer-use 0-degree fluid and winter-use minus 2-degree or minus 35-degree fluid. The minus 4-degree fluid, which remains unfrozen even at minus 4 degrees, is a special anti-freeze type suitable for extremely cold northern regions. Both 0-degree and minus 20-degree windshield washer fluids have freeze-resistant properties. Apart from their different freeze-resistant temperatures, their other functions are identical, so they can be mixed. Points to note: In autumn and winter, windshield washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and freeze-resistant performance. For winter use, the freeze resistance should be the primary selection criterion, and you should choose a fluid with a freezing point at least 10 degrees Celsius below the local minimum temperature.

Is Tire Plugging with Rubber Strips Safe?

Not safe. The principle of this method is to first enlarge the puncture hole with a sharp tool like an awl, then insert a rubber strip coated with adhesive into the hole. While simple and extremely low-cost, requiring no tire-wheel separation or dynamic balancing, using an awl to enlarge the hole increases the damaged area, making air leakage more likely. Common tire repair methods are as follows: Patch Repair: This is currently a widely used method. It allows selecting patches of different sizes based on the tire damage, is reasonably priced, and offers relatively high stability. Mushroom Plug Repair: Compared to other methods, mushroom plug repair is safer, more thorough, and stable. However, it is more expensive, typically costing over a hundred yuan in the market. Additionally, it has specific requirements for the puncture; irregular or larger punctures are not suitable for mushroom plug repair.

Can I claim insurance for a self-inflicted car scratch?

You can claim insurance for a self-inflicted scratch while reversing, provided you have purchased vehicle damage insurance. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance covers repairs to your own car when the fault lies with you. If you have purchased a supplementary agreement for no deductible, you can receive almost full compensation through vehicle damage insurance. Without the no deductible agreement, the compensation is around 80%. Insurance Claim Process: To file a claim, you only need to bring a copy of the vehicle's registration, driver's license, the insurance policy, and the insured's ID card. Then, drive to the insurance company's designated assessment point. Most repair shops have direct settlements with insurance companies. If the scratch is minor and only affects the paint, the repair is simple and inexpensive. In such cases, you may choose not to claim insurance, as frequent claims can affect next year's premium, making it not worthwhile.

What Causes Fluctuating Idle Speed in Cars?

The reason for fluctuating idle speed in cars is due to unstable air intake volume. Factors causing unstable air intake: Faulty mass air flow sensor; Intake manifold leakage; Charcoal canister purge valve stuck open; Positive crankcase ventilation valve stuck open; Clogged air filter. Analysis of idle speed principle: During cold idle, the engine will do its utmost to maintain stable air intake volume and air-fuel ratio while ensuring it doesn't stall. At this time, the engine control unit will close the charcoal canister purge valve, crankcase ventilation valve, and oxygen sensor signals. More advanced engines also need to deactivate precise control functions like variable intake manifold and variable valve lift. Although deactivating these precision controls makes the engine less fuel-efficient and less environmentally friendly, the extremely simple control logic results in very stable RPM. In this situation, as long as there are no vehicle faults, the throttle opening angle will basically stabilize at a fixed value.

The Function of Motorcycle Steering Damper

The function is to reduce the swing frequency and amplitude, dampen vibration sensations, and enhance vehicle stability during cornering. Steering Damper: Technically termed as a steering damper on motorcycles, it applies damping resistance against human-induced or external forces attempting to turn the handlebars extensively within a short period, while remaining inactive during minor steering adjustments in normal riding. At high speeds, it prevents front-end wobbling. During high-speed cornering, it attenuates vibration sensations transmitted to the rider due to uneven road surfaces, thereby improving the vehicle's stability when taking turns. Additional Information: The steering damper is a double-edged sword, much like shock absorbers. Pursuing handling performance compromises comfort, while prioritizing comfort sacrifices handling. The better the damping effect of the steering damper, the more the vehicle's agility is reduced. Conversely, increased vehicle agility raises the risk of headshake at high speeds. Fortunately, the steering damper is adjustable.
