Here are the reasons for exhaust pipe abnormal noise: Clogged catalytic converter: The function of the catalytic converter is to purify exhaust gases while reducing noise. Different vehicles have different catalytic converters with varying lengths, thicknesses, and densities of internal filters, depending on exhaust flow characteristics. Regular cleaning of the catalytic converter can eliminate abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe. Exhaust pipe aging: The exhaust pipe is connected to the engine via a flexible joint. Prolonged use may cause damage or aging of this flexible connection. Additionally, the exhaust pipe is mounted to the vehicle frame with several rubber rings - these should be checked for damage or aging. Finally, there are seals between the exhaust pipe and flexible joint, as well as between the flexible joint and engine, which should be inspected for wear. Water accumulation in exhaust pipe: For water accumulation issues, you can block the right exhaust pipe with a towel and rev the engine to expel water from the left pipe, or use a suction tube to remove the water.

How to troubleshoot the P0118 fault code?

p0118 fault code troubleshooting steps are as follows: 1. Identify the cause of the fault: (1) Check if the coolant level is sufficient. (2) Verify if the thermostat, water pump, and cooling fan in the cooling system are functioning properly and if the coolant is circulating. (3) Inspect the coolant temperature sensor and its surrounding circuits for any short circuits, open circuits, or poor contact. (4) Check for ECU faults. 2. Solutions: (1). If this fault code appears, first check if the coolant level is sufficient and replenish it if necessary. If unsure or if other faults are present, seek assistance from a professional technician. (2) Regularly check the coolant level and replace the engine coolant on schedule. The general replacement interval is 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, but the specific interval should follow the manufacturer's guidelines for each vehicle model.

How to Choose a Jack for Family Sedans?

The selection of a suitable jack depends on the height of the chassis. Below is an introduction to the annual inspection for family sedans:1. Conditions: Newly purchased small family cars with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) do not require on-site inspection within the first 6 years, but in case of major accidents, on-site inspection is still necessary.2. Advantages: Although new cars do not require on-site inspection, it is still necessary to collect the annual inspection sticker and environmental protection compliance sticker from the vehicle management office every two years. When collecting, bring the vehicle registration certificate and the current valid compulsory insurance policy to the designated window for direct collection without any fees.3. Notes: The free annual inspection sticker and environmental protection sticker must also be collected within the specified time frame, which is 60 days before the vehicle registration date. Late collection may result in fines and a deduction of 3 points, so arrange your time reasonably to avoid expiration.

What are the factors that cause abnormal noise when braking at low speeds?

There are two possible factors that may cause abnormal noise when braking at low speeds: 1. The brake pads have worn to their limit, causing the small metal plate to come into contact with the brake disc. Normally, there is a certain distance between this small metal plate and the brake disc, preventing friction. However, when the brake pads wear down to the limit, the small metal plate contacts the brake disc, and the friction between metal surfaces produces a squeaking sound, alerting the driver to replace the brake pads immediately. Therefore, if there is noise, promptly check the brake pads. 2. The brake pads contain relatively large metal particles, and the noise generated from friction with the brake disc is also due to metal-to-metal contact. This issue has occurred in many vehicles. To eliminate the abnormal noise, the brake pads must be removed and polished. Using sandpaper to grind off a layer of the brake pads will remove the exposed metal particles, preventing further noise.

What are the effects of thin engine oil on the engine?

Thinning engine oil can lead to excessively low oil pressure and cause semi-dry or dry friction between various mating components. Below is relevant information about engines: 1. Introduction: An engine is a machine capable of converting non-mechanical energy into mechanical energy. 2. Classification: Includes internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. 3. External combustion engines: These refer to engines where fuel is burned outside the engine. 4. Internal combustion engines: Internal combustion engines, or reciprocating piston engines, differ most from external combustion engines in that fuel is burned inside them. There are many types of internal combustion engines, with common gasoline and diesel engines being typical examples.
