Here are the reasons why the steering wheel of Honda Vezel feels heavy: 1. Power steering pump failure: Oil leakage in the power steering pump pipe, insufficient oil in the oil cup causing heavy steering, or a broken power steering pump belt leading to the pump not working and resulting in heavy steering. If the power steering pump is damaged and not functioning, the steering will be heavy. Solution for heavy car steering wheel: Check whether there is a fault in the oil pressure or oil circuit of the power steering pump. 2. Steering wheel malfunction: Generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. Using a steering wheel with a larger diameter can reduce the hand force required from the driver when turning. The steering transmission shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle more reasonable.

While driving my Honda Vezel, I noticed the steering wheel suddenly became heavier, which was quite annoying. After checking, it might be an issue with the electric power steering system. This system relies on a motor to assist with steering, and if the motor fails or the sensors are damaged, steering becomes difficult. Last time I went to the shop, they detected a problem with the control unit. Regarding the tires, low pressure or severe wear can also increase steering resistance, especially making the steering feel rough during turns. I recommend first checking if the tire pressure meets the standard value. Additionally, rust in the suspension system or steering shaft, along with insufficient lubrication, can lead to increased mechanical burden. If not addressed promptly, it could affect handling safety. It's best to have a technician use a diagnostic computer to check it out and not wait until an accident happens on the highway.

Can cars over 10 years old not be insured for vehicle damage insurance?

In general, private cars over 8 years old are not insured, and very few insurance companies will cover cars over 10 years old. Even if they do, compensation is usually paid on a proportional basis. Since each company has different policies, this is entirely up to the insurance company's discretion. Some companies have more lenient underwriting policies, while others are stricter. Normally, cars under 10 years old can be insured for vehicle damage, and even renewal customers with cars over 10 years may still get coverage. Insurance laws stipulate that no insurance company or institution can refuse to insure a corresponding subject (such as a car over 10 years old) under any pretext. However, for their own risk control and profit considerations, most insurance companies will refuse to provide vehicle damage insurance for cars beyond a certain age. For cars that are 10 years or older, compulsory traffic insurance and third-party liability insurance can still be obtained, but very few insurers will offer vehicle damage coverage. Additional information: 1. Introduction: Vehicle damage insurance, commonly known as 'auto damage insurance,' is the most widely used type of vehicle insurance. It covers repair costs for both minor scratches and severe damage. However, there are various exclusions, such as continued use after a collision that worsens the damage, which may lead to claim rejection by the insurer. 2. Coverage: The insurer is responsible for compensating losses to the insured vehicle caused by the following reasons when driven by the policyholder or an authorized driver: ① Collision, overturning, or falling; ② Fire, explosion, or spontaneous combustion (requires separate spontaneous combustion coverage); ③ Falling or collapsing external objects; ④ Storm or tornado; ⑤ Lightning, hail, heavy rain, flood, or tsunami.

What is the fuel consumption of the Nissan Sylphy Classic?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Nissan Sylphy Classic is 5.2-6.1L/100km. There are currently 3 models of the Sylphy Classic on sale. The Classic CVT Luxury Edition and CVT Comfort Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.2L/100km. The Classic Manual Comfort Edition has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.8-8.0L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits. Excessive carbon deposits in the engine is a major cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates significant carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional cleaning of the engine carbon deposits by technicians. Check the oxygen sensor. As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust during driving, and the sensor should be replaced immediately. Regularly replace the three filters. During vehicle use, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, they become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit. Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, various faults may occur in older vehicles.

Is it necessary to use 95-octane gasoline for the Avancier?

The Avancier does not require 95-octane gasoline; 92-octane gasoline is recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the user manual, you can also find it marked on the fuel tank cap. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, higher-octane gasoline has a higher octane rating and better anti-knock properties. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If you occasionally use the wrong gasoline grade in the Avancier, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane gasoline, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane gasoline, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.
