What Causes the Clicking Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel in an Excelle?

Reasons for the clicking noise when turning the steering wheel in an Excelle: 1. Sound from turn signal reset: If the turn signal is activated while steering, this noise may originate from the return mechanism's spring clip of the auto-reset turn signal. 2. Noise from steering column dust cover: Lack of lubrication on the steering column dust cover can cause friction noise. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel: If the noise comes from within the steering wheel, it's likely caused by the clock spring (spiral cable) of the airbag. Applying grease after removing the airbag clock spring may help; if the noise persists, replace the clock spring. 4. Noise from strut mount bearing: If the noise originates outside the vehicle, it might be due to insufficient lubrication in the strut's upper bearing (plane bearing).

I once encountered a similar issue where I heard a clicking sound when turning the steering wheel of my car, which made me quite nervous. Generally, such abnormal noises are mostly caused by loose or worn small components in the steering system, such as aging of the steering ball joint or a torn dust cover allowing dust to enter and create friction sounds. It could also be due to damage to the steering linkage joint or looseness in the tire suspension connection, causing uneven force distribution during turning and resulting in noise. Sometimes, it's due to uneven road surfaces causing vibrations, but more often, it's the result of long-term driving without proper maintenance. I believe such issues shouldn't be ignored. If left unchecked, steering precision may deteriorate, affecting driving safety, especially at high speeds. I recommend you first check the steering area for any obvious looseness, but it's best to take it to a repair shop for a professional inspection with specialized tools. Replacing a small part can solve the problem without costing much, saving you from bigger troubles later. Regular lubrication and inspection of the steering system are key to prevention. Don't wait until the noise gets worse to take action—it's not worth the risk.

How many hours does it take to apply car window film?

It takes three to five hours to apply car window film, and the precautions are: 1. Do not roll down the windows within three days to avoid displacement of the bonded car window film; 2. Do not wash the car within three days, but you can wipe the film surface with a wet towel, sponge, or cloth; 3. Do not open the sunroof for vehicles with a sunroof within three days. The functions of car window film are: 1. Blocking heat and ultraviolet radiation from the car; 2. Improving clarity and transparency; 3. Enhancing anti-explosion performance; 4. Preventing surface scratches. The types of car window film are: 1. Coated film; 2. Composite process film; 3. Dyed film; 4. Vacuum thermal evaporation film; 5. Metal magnetron sputtering film.

What is the tire size of the Liexing?

The tire size of the Liexing is the original front and rear wheel size of 100-90-10. Below is some related information about tires: Introduction: Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are usually mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, achieving contact with the road surface, and ensuring the vehicle's driving performance. Performance: Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. Additionally, they are required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

What is the maintenance interval for the secondary maintenance of commercial vehicles?

The secondary maintenance interval for commercial vehicles is 20,000±5,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details about vehicle secondary maintenance: 1. Determining maintenance interval based on operating time: According to the "Quality Supervision Standards for Secondary Maintenance of Commercial Vehicles", for vehicles where mileage statistics and assessment are inconvenient, time intervals are used to determine the maintenance schedule. 2. Time intervals for various types of commercial vehicles: The time interval is 3 months for passenger vehicles (scheduled buses, chartered buses, and tourist coaches) and hazardous goods transport vehicles; 4 months for other vehicles. When a vehicle completes maintenance at the station, fees can be paid based on the repair work content and the consumption of materials and parts upon vehicle handover.

Is Driving at 80 km/h Considered Fast?

Driving at 80 km/h is relatively fast and falls under high-speed driving. Here are some precautions for high-speed driving: 1. Check tire pressure: Both overinflated and underinflated tires can lead to blowouts, with underinflation being more likely to cause a blowout. This is because underinflated tires have a larger contact area with the road, increasing rolling resistance. During high-speed driving, the tires heat up quickly, reducing their strength and leading to fatigue and eventual blowout after prolonged use. 2. Tire aging: Aged tires are more prone to blowouts during high-speed driving. Natural aging of tires is characterized by tread cracks and hardened rubber. When tire performance has significantly deteriorated, continued driving can easily result in a blowout. 3. Tire bulges: The appearance of bulges on the tire tread indicates that the internal cords have broken. In such cases, the tire is at risk of bursting at any moment and should be replaced immediately.

What are the reasons for the fuel tank cap lock key not turning?

Here are the specific reasons why the fuel tank cap lock key may not turn: 1. Connection device failure: The fuel tank cap connection mechanism may have come loose due to driving over bumps. 2. Frozen in winter: The fuel tank cap area may freeze in winter, making it impossible to open with the key. Do not force it open, as this can easily damage the fuel tank cap. Only use hot water to thaw the frozen area to speed up the melting process. 3. Wrong key turning direction: Incorrect operation, such as turning the key in the wrong direction. In most cases, turning the key clockwise unlocks it, while turning it counterclockwise locks it. 4. Lock cylinder failure: The lock hole may rust due to prolonged disuse. Try adding some engine oil to the lock cylinder.

How to reset the maintenance light of FAW Besturn T77?

When the engine switch is in OFF mode, press and hold the OK button, switch the engine to ON mode, and continue holding the OK button for more than 10 seconds before releasing it. The reasons for resetting the car maintenance light are as follows: 1. As driving time increases, the wear and tear of internal vehicle components gradually becomes more severe. To ensure normal vehicle operation, manufacturers have installed reminder indicator lights. After reaching a certain mileage, it is necessary to replace components promptly. After successful replacement, the car maintenance light must also be reset. 2. The function of the maintenance light is to record the mileage of important components, serving as a reminder for both the car owner and maintenance personnel. If related parts are replaced without resetting the maintenance light, although it does not affect the vehicle's performance, it may cause inconvenience for future part replacements, making it difficult to accurately track the usage time of new components.
