What causes the abnormal noise when reversing an Audi A6?

Audi A6 produces abnormal noise when reversing, with the brake pads tightly fitted against the bracket end face in the forward direction, leaving no clearance gap. Reasons for the clunking noise when reversing: In fact, the clunking sound during reversing is a normal clearance noise and is not a sign of vehicle malfunction. Since the brake pads are mounted on the brake caliper bracket, and under normal circumstances, the brake pads are tightly fitted against the bracket end face in the forward direction with no clearance gap, there is no abnormal noise when braking during forward motion. How to resolve this noise: Apply a thin layer of lubricating grease to the contact areas between the brake pads and the brake caliper bracket. This can help improve the situation to some extent.

What are the representative value and qualified value of pavement thickness?

In the design of expressway pavement thickness, the allowable deviation for the representative value is 5%. According to the "Highway Engineering Quality Inspection and Evaluation Standard" (JTGF80/1-2017), the representative value of the measured pavement thickness should not be less than 95% of the design thickness (with a guarantee coefficient of 95%, and when n>100, ta=1.6449). The qualification rate is then calculated based on the single-point qualified value. If the representative value fails to meet the standard, it is directly rated as unqualified. As a key project, the qualification rate of pavement thickness should not be lower than 95% (for contracts signed before May 2018, the rate is 90%).

Why Doesn't the Electric Car Move on Rainy Days?

Controller speed limit plug short circuit due to water ingress. Below are the fundamental principles of pure electric vehicles: 1. Working principle of electric vehicles: Battery—current—power regulator—motor—power transmission system—driving the car. 2. Technical principle: Pure electric vehicles use motors to replace internal combustion engines, analogous to automatic transmissions. Traditional internal combustion engines can only generate efficient torque within a narrow speed range, which is why traditional internal combustion engine vehicles require large and complex transmission mechanisms. Pure electric vehicles do not need gear shifting devices during operation, making them easier to control. Compared to hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles use a single electric energy source, and the electronic control system significantly reduces the internal mechanical transmission system, also lowering energy loss and noise caused by friction of mechanical components, saving space and weight inside the vehicle.

Should the fuel tank be filled up completely?

Normally, filling up means stopping when the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. Here are some precautions for refueling a new car: 1. Avoid using electronic devices while refueling: Beginners must pay attention not to use mobile phones at gas stations, especially for making or receiving calls, as it can easily lead to safety accidents. 2. Know the fuel grade in advance: For beginners, it's important to know the appropriate fuel grade for your vehicle before the first refueling. This information is usually indicated in the vehicle's user manual. 3. Maintain order at the gas station: Be patient during refueling, queue in order, and avoid disputes with others to prevent safety accidents between vehicles.

Can you shift to neutral when coming to a quick stop?

You can shift to neutral when coming to a quick stop. Steps to shift to neutral when coming to a quick stop: Depress the clutch pedal to disconnect the engine from the transmission, press the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle, bring the car to a complete stop on a safe road surface, shift the gear to neutral, and engage the handbrake to complete the operation. Precautions when shifting to neutral during a quick stop: Coasting in neutral is strictly prohibited. If used for deceleration, you must first press the brake pedal to reduce speed to a suitable RPM for a particular gear, then depress the clutch pedal to downshift. In special cases, you may skip gears when downshifting, but ensure the car comes to a complete stop on a safe road surface.

Are Natural Disasters Covered by Car Insurance?

Each insurance company has strict definitions for natural disaster coverage in their policy terms, and not all natural disasters are eligible for claims. Specific analysis is required based on the particular product. Non-covered Events: Standard earthquakes fall under non-covered categories. As a specific natural phenomenon, they are treated as exclusions. Other Covered Natural Disasters: Collisions, overturning, falling objects; fire, explosion, spontaneous combustion; external object collapse or falling; storms, tornadoes; lightning strikes, hailstorms, heavy rain, floods, tsunamis; ground collapse, ice collapse, cliff collapse, avalanches, mudslides, landslides, etc.

What should the speed be when making a U-turn?

When making a U-turn, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and the left turn signal must be activated in advance to avoid obstructing other normally moving vehicles and pedestrians. Permissible situations for making a U-turn: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, a U-turn can be made. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation without hindering other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns: If there is no explicit sign prohibiting U-turns, a U-turn can be made. 'No explicit prohibition' means the absence of 'No U-turn' signs, 'No Left Turn' signs, or solid center lines, allowing a confident U-turn. Yellow grid lines also permit U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones, typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, entrances of important institutions, or other necessary locations. Parking (including waiting at traffic lights) on these lines is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited, U-turns are allowed in yellow grid line areas unless there is a central barrier, making them equivalent to 'U-turn permitted.' Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, proceed only when it is green. Simultaneous 'No Left Turn' and 'U-turn permitted' signs: U-turns are allowed even if left turns are prohibited, but 'No U-turn' is not the same as 'No Left Turn.' Points to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a 'No Left Turn' sign, even without a 'No U-turn' sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to straight-moving vehicles. Only proceed with a U-turn if it does not interfere with their normal movement, or you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow; if it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit 'No U-turn' signs.
