Why doesn't the urea pump make noise after parking?

If the urea pump makes noise after parking, it indicates that the vehicle is retracting urea. If there is no noise after parking, it means the urea pump has malfunctioned. Here are the solutions for high urea pressure issues: 1. High urea pressure. Reporting high urea pressure usually indicates a blocked return check valve, which needs to be replaced with a new one. 2. Urea pump not absorbing liquid. The main reason for the urea pump not absorbing liquid is insufficient spring tension caused by high-pressure impact on the electromagnetic directional valve. Simply disassemble the directional valve, replace the spring, and clean the check valve diaphragm under the motor.

What is the maximum tire size that can be fitted on a 15-inch rim?

Normally, a 15-inch rim has a width of 6 inches, and the most suitable tire width is 185 millimeters. The maximum width that can be used is 195 millimeters, which can significantly improve braking and steering performance. If you want to replace the tire yourself, you can follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and ensure it is perpendicular to the ground; Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully loosen the nuts; just loosen them enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn, not the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off. Repeat this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the rim, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. Note: It is recommended that the purchased tire specifications match those originally equipped on the vehicle. If you need to change the tire specifications, you must go to a professional modification shop for a tire upgrade or consult the vehicle manufacturer.
