Introduction to the causes of abnormal noise from the Vios tensioner pulley belt: Caused by the smooth wear of the contact surface between the belt and pulley: This usually occurs when the engine speed changes rapidly. Sometimes, an increased load on the accessories driven by the belt can also cause belt noise. Check if the bearings of the accessories driven by the belt are damaged, stuck, loose, or if the accessory power has increased. Replace the belt or use 100-grit sandpaper to polish the contact surface between the pulley and the belt. Failure of the tensioner: The tensioner provides pressure directed towards the belt or chain. The tensioner pulley directly contacts the timing belt, while the guide rail directly contacts the timing chain. As they operate along with the belt or chain, they apply the pressure provided by the tensioner to maintain the appropriate tension. Replace the tensioner.

What symptoms will a car exhibit if the three-way catalytic converter has issues?

Symptoms of a faulty three-way catalytic converter in a car: 1. Decreased engine power performance and increased fuel consumption; 2. Disordered air-fuel mixture concentration leading to ignition difficulties or incomplete combustion; 3. Increased exhaust channel resistance and worsened emissions; 4. Engine overheating, lack of power, and unpleasant exhaust odor. The three-way catalytic converter is an important external purification device installed in the automotive exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOX emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Since this converter can simultaneously transform the three major harmful substances in exhaust gases into harmless substances, it is called a three-way catalytic converter.

How to Fix Cigarette Burns on Car Seats?

Solutions for cigarette burns on car seats are: 1. If the surface is slightly burned: First clean the damaged area. If the burn is not deep, you can directly apply leather finishing paste to restore the original color and appearance; 2. If the surface is scratched: Clean the damaged area, use leather adhesive to reattach any loose leather pieces, sand smooth after drying if visible marks remain, then apply leather finishing paste until matching the original color and appearance; 3. For holes: Find a matching leather patch larger than the hole, trim the hole neatly, carefully sand the reverse edges to create a gradual slope for seamless adhesion, apply leather adhesive to both surfaces, position the patch underneath, remove excess adhesive after bonding.

What position should the car's rearview mirrors be adjusted to?

The car's rearview mirrors are adjusted using the mirror control button located on the left side of the driver's seat. The adjustment methods are as follows: 1. Left side mirror: Position the horizon line at the center of the mirror, then adjust the car body edge to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's image; 2. Right side mirror: Position the horizon line at two-thirds of the mirror's height, then adjust the car body edge to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's image. Precautions for using rearview mirrors include: 1. Pay attention to any changes in the mirror's position and angle caused by vehicle vibrations during driving, and adjust promptly; 2. When performing maneuvers such as parking, starting, overtaking, turning, or making U-turns, always observe the rearview mirrors and provide appropriate signals.

Why Does Gear Shifting from First to Second Feel So Jerky?

Jerky shifting from first to second gear is usually caused by stubborn dirt and impurities inside the transmission. These contaminants accumulate in the valve body, forming blockages that prevent effective regulation of oil pressure, resulting in jerky impacts. This issue can only be completely resolved by thoroughly cleaning out the stubborn dirt and impurities inside the transmission. Car jerking is primarily caused by the engine and clutch. Generally, if a car struggles to accelerate, it is often related to the engine. Ignition, air intake, and fuel injectors collectively determine fuel combustion, which is the source of the engine's power. Therefore, poor acceleration is naturally linked to these systems: ignition, air intake, and fuel injectors. Jerking sensation: More factors can be attributed to the clutch. Theoretically, except for CVT transmissions, all other transmissions will have a jerking sensation. CVT transmissions, also known as continuously variable transmissions, do not have the concept of gears, so they naturally do not experience gear-shifting jerks. However, in reality, due to manufacturer tuning, even CVT transmissions can sometimes exhibit jerking sensations. Acceleration jerking is mostly due to the transmission's response speed being too slow, where the upshift speed cannot keep up with the throttle input. To avoid jerky gear shifting, follow these specific methods: Pay attention to the engine RPM. When it reaches 2000-2500 RPM, press the clutch all the way down and release the throttle; Shift the gear lever from first to second gear. After completing the shift, slowly release the clutch to the engagement point; Once the car's power connection stabilizes, lightly press the throttle to accelerate, then release it. This way, gear shifting will be smooth and jerk-free.
