The abnormal noise from the right front of a Civic can be caused by excessive valve clearance or damage to the right front axle shock absorber. Below is a detailed explanation of the possible causes: Excessive Valve Clearance: If the noise occurs during the transition from a cold engine to a warm engine state, it is likely due to excessive valve clearance in the cold engine and insufficient lubrication. If the noise occurs during acceleration, it is not related to valve noise. Damage to the Right Front Axle Shock Absorber: If intermittent abnormal noises or knocking sounds occur during turns, over bumps, or on rough roads, it may be due to damage to the outer CV joint of the right front axle, the shock absorber, or wear and tear on the ball joints and bushings of the chassis suspension. It is advisable to have the vehicle inspected at a repair shop as soon as possible to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Where are the position lights located on a car?

Car position lights are located at the top edges of the vehicle. Officially known as width markers or clearance lights, they indicate both the height and width of the vehicle. Safety standards require vehicles exceeding 3 meters in height to be equipped with width markers. These lights are primarily used during dusk, overcast days, or rainy/foggy conditions to display a vehicle's dimensions, helping other drivers determine relative position and size during passing or overtaking maneuvers. They typically appear white at the front and red at the rear. Main types of automotive lights and their functions include: 1) Brake lights: Warn following vehicles/pedestrians; 2) Turn signals: Alert surrounding vehicles/pedestrians; 3) High beams: Illuminate distant road conditions; 4) Low beams: Provide visibility for immediate road surfaces.

Where is the gasoline filter element of the City located?

The gasoline filter element of the City is located under the chassis, near the fuel tank. After dirty fuel enters, it passes through layers of filter paper on the outer wall of the filter before reaching the center, where clean fuel flows out. The gasoline filter element, abbreviated as fuel filter, needs to be regularly removed for cleaning and maintenance. It is an important component of the engine, with its main function being to filter out impurities in the gasoline. The City has a body length, width, and height of 4450mm, 1695mm, and 1477mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The lines of its front fenders are very sharp, and the body adopts a dual waistline design. The sound system is excellent, and it is also equipped with AUX and USB interfaces, making it very convenient.

What are the reasons for high oil temperature and high water temperature in BMW e90?

BMW e90 high oil temperature and high water temperature may be caused by the following reasons: Lack of coolant: Insufficient coolant in the engine cooling system, possibly due to leaks in the engine, such as water pump leakage, pipe damage, or radiator damage. Thermostat failure: A faulty thermostat in the engine cooling system leads to high water temperature. Because the thermostat cannot open, the flow of coolant inside the engine is obstructed, resulting in excessive coolant temperature. Cooling fan failure: The cooling fan in the engine cooling system is not working properly, leading to poor coolant heat dissipation, illuminated water temperature light, and excessive coolant temperature. Water pump failure: The water pump in the engine cooling system is malfunctioning, causing poor rotation of the water pump, which results in poor coolant flow, illuminated water temperature light, and excessive coolant temperature.

Will transmission fluid expire if not changed for 5 years?

Transmission fluid will expire if not changed for 5 years. Here are the specific details: 1. Not changed within a certain period: If the transmission fluid is not replaced within the recommended cycle, the quality and performance of the fluid will degrade, leading to increased impurities. This can accelerate the wear of transmission components, causing premature failures or higher failure rates. 2. Transmission fluid: The primary function of transmission fluid is to keep the gear system clean and to lubricate the transmission components, thereby extending their lifespan. For new vehicles, it is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 50,000 kilometers. After that, depending on the driving conditions, if the driving conditions are good, change it every 70,000 kilometers. If the driving conditions are poor, change it every 40,000 or 30,000 kilometers. This can help prolong the transmission's lifespan and reduce the failure rate.

Why can't the brake pedal of the Audi A6L be pressed down?

Audi A6L brake pedal cannot be pressed down possible reasons: caused by wear of the brake master cylinder piston cup or cylinder wall. Solution: the brake master cylinder needs to be replaced. Brake system working principle: the working principle of the brake system is to create huge friction, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy. Energy conversion: during acceleration, the car converts chemical energy into heat energy and kinetic energy, and when braking, the brake system converts the car's kinetic energy into heat energy and dissipates it into the air. A car may take 10 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h, but braking from 100 km/h to standstill may only take XX seconds, showing that the brake system bears a huge load.
