Introduction to the reasons for loud cold start sound in BMW 640gt: Engine Carbon Deposits: The reason is that as old engine oil becomes thinner with use, carbon deposits accumulate more and more. Thinner oil is prone to leakage, leading to increasing carbon deposits and significant power loss. When new oil is replaced, the engine may not adapt to the oil's viscosity immediately, potentially causing higher RPMs and resulting in increased engine noise. Incorrect Engine Oil Specifications: Or excessive oil quantity. When there is too much oil in the engine, it creates unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. Carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, when red-hot, can also cause pre-ignition. Moreover, carbon deposits accelerate wear on cylinders and pistons and negatively affect oil quality. In summary, excessive oil increases the stirring resistance of the crankshaft and connecting rods, leading to louder noise.

How to determine 30cm when reversing into the parking space?

When reversing, look at the right (left) rearview mirror. After straightening the steering wheel, reverse until the left front door handle aligns with the left parking line, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right. When you see the left bottom corner of the parking space, straighten the steering wheel. Adjust the car body to be vertical and parallel, then continue reversing into the parking space. After adjusting the car body, look at the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror shell aligns with the front boundary line of the parking space, the distance from the rear of the car is 30cm, and you can stop at this point.

What Causes the Tire Pressure Light to Illuminate?

The reasons for the tire pressure light to illuminate: 1. The tire pressure monitoring light may come on due to a punctured tire; 2. Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring light illuminates because the tire pressure is too high; 3. Driving for an extended period with low tire pressure can trigger the tire pressure monitoring light; 4. The tire pressure monitoring light may also come on if the tire pressure has dropped due to prolonged lack of inflation. When the tire pressure system alerts, first pull over safely and check the tire pressure of all four tires. If no obvious loss of air is visible, you can ignore it. After getting back in the car, reset the tire pressure system to turn off the warning light. Continue driving for a while. If the tire pressure warning light comes on again, it indicates that there is indeed a problem with the tire pressure of one of the tires, and it needs to be checked and repaired promptly.
