The reasons for noise in disc brakes include: the brake pads are in the break-in period, metal particles are present in the brake pads, excessive wear of the brake disc and brake pads, or deformation of the brake disc. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Their working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Disc brakes consist of a brake disc connected to the wheel and a brake caliper at the edge of the disc. During braking, high-pressure brake fluid pushes the brake pads to clamp the brake disc, creating a braking effect. Disc brakes are sometimes also called rotor brakes and are divided into two types: standard disc brakes and ventilated disc brakes.

How many points will be deducted for driving at 60 in a 50 speed limit zone?

Speeding by 20% may result in different penalties depending on the location. Generally, the fine varies based on where the speeding occurred or the specific road speed limit. On highways, speeding typically incurs a fine and a deduction of 3 points. According to the "Speeding Penalty Regulations": On roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will result in a fine; exceeding by more than 20% but less than 50% will also result in a fine; exceeding by more than 50% but less than 70% will incur a fine; and exceeding by more than 70% will result in a fine. The "Driver's License Point Deduction Regulations" state: Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways at speeds exceeding the limit by more than 20% but less than 50% will result in a 6-point deduction; driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding the limit by more than 20% but less than 50% will also result in a 6-point deduction.

Is the Magotan equipped with a dry clutch or a wet clutch?

The Magotan is equipped with a wet dual-clutch system. A wet dual-clutch refers to the clutch plates being immersed in transmission fluid, whereas a dry dual-clutch has the clutch plates in direct contact with the engine flywheel. In terms of technical maturity and reliability, the wet dual-clutch system is more stable because the clutch plates operate in hydraulic oil, which provides a certain cooling effect. Below are the advantages of a wet dual-clutch transmission: 1. Fast shifting: The shifting time of a dual-clutch transmission is very short, even faster than a manual transmission, taking less than 0.2 seconds. 2. Fuel efficiency: The dual-clutch transmission eliminates torque interruption, meaning the engine's power is continuously utilized and always operates at its optimal level, leading to significant fuel savings. Compared to traditional planetary gear automatic transmissions, it is more conducive to improving fuel economy, with fuel consumption reduced by approximately 15%. 3. Comfort: Due to the fast shifting speed, each gear change in a DCT is very smooth, with the jerkiness minimized to a level that is hardly noticeable to the human body.

Can a Car Be Loaned to Others?

Loaning a car to others carries risks and is not advisable. There are potential issues with the car: the borrower may not be familiar with the vehicle, and minor problems could lead to traffic accidents, for which the owner would be held responsible. There are also concerns with the borrower: they might have just obtained their driver's license and lack driving experience; they could be driving under the influence of alcohol; or their license type may not be suitable for the vehicle. For someone who has just gotten their license, the likelihood of minor collisions is high, and if they run a red light and incur penalty points, the owner would have to bear the consequences. Additionally, if the borrower drives under the influence, the car could be impounded. In case of an accident while the car is loaned, insurance may refuse to cover the damages: after purchasing a car, owners typically buy car insurance. Normally, if the owner is involved in an accident, they can directly contact the insurance company for assistance. However, if the car is loaned to someone else and an accident occurs, the insurance company may deny the claim. As stated in the insurance policy, the insurer can refuse coverage for damages caused by driving without the insurer's consent.

Which direction should I turn the spare tire bolt?

Turn to the left, that is, counterclockwise to loosen the bolt; turn to the right, that is, clockwise to tighten the bolt. Types of spare tires: A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. A non-full-size spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement. Run-flat tires, also known as safety tires or "anti-burst tires," are directly translated in the industry as "tires that can run without air." Compared to ordinary tires, run-flat tires will not leak air or leak very slowly when punctured, maintaining the driving profile, and the tire bead can remain fixed on the rim, ensuring the car can drive to a repair station for a long time or temporarily stably. Hidden dangers of spare tires: Spare tires are actually for emergency use, not for long-term use. Regardless of width, manufacturers have special production and usage requirements for spare tires. Since spare tires are not used for long periods on the vehicle and do not wear out, an unworn tire is different from a heavily worn tire. Using a spare tire on the vehicle inherently carries certain safety risks.
