Shock absorber springs making a popping sound when turning may be due to damage to the planar bearing inside the shock absorber spring or aging of the shock absorber top rubber. It is recommended to directly replace the shock absorber or the shock absorber top rubber. Generally, shock absorbers should be replaced every 4 years, and the shock absorber top rubber is best replaced every 80,000 kilometers. Specific explanations are as follows: Shock Absorber: Generally, shock absorbers should be replaced every 4 years. When replacing shock absorbers, they should be replaced in pairs; otherwise, it may lead to uneven balance of force distribution in the car, causing different forces on the shock absorbers and further shock absorber issues. Shock Absorber Top Rubber: The shock absorber top rubber is used to cushion the impact between the shock absorber spring and the car body. When driving on uneven roads, each top rubber bears more than a quarter of the car's weight impact. A silicone pad can be added to the shock absorber top cover, and adding silicone to the shock absorber is useful.

How to Clean a Dirty Car Radiator?

To clean a dirty car radiator, follow these steps: 1. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine. Wait for the coolant temperature to drop, then open the expansion tank and add radiator cleaner. 2. Start the engine and let it idle for 5 to 10 minutes after the cooling fan starts working. 3. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper of the vehicle. 4. Once the coolant temperature has completely cooled, drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant. 5. Replace with new engine coolant. The radiator is a key component in the car's cooling system, and its functions are: 1. To absorb heat from the engine block and prevent the engine from overheating. 2. To use water as a heat transfer medium through the cooling water circuit, dissipating heat through large-area cooling fins by convection to maintain the engine's optimal operating temperature.

What does the exclamation mark with a triangle illuminated on the car mean?

The exclamation mark with a triangle illuminated on the car refers to the traction control indicator warning light. The reasons for the light being on are: 1. Faulty oxygen sensor in the engine; 2. Clogged fuel injector; 3. Carbon buildup on the intake valve; 4. Faulty sensor; 5. Low fuel pressure; 6. Inaccurate air measurement; 7. Impurities in the gasoline. The functions of the traction control system are: 1. To provide the car with better traction under various driving conditions; 2. To improve driving stability, acceleration, and climbing ability. The working principle of the traction control system is: The computer detects the speed of the wheels and the steering angle of the steering wheel. When the car accelerates, if it detects that the speed difference between the drive wheels and non-drive wheels is too large, the computer will send a signal to reduce the fuel supply to the engine, thereby reducing the driving force.

What is the tire model of the Qashqai?

The Qashqai uses Bridgestone's TURANZA tires, with tire models of 215/55R18, 225/45R19, and 215/60R17. Bridgestone Corporation was established by Shojiro Ishibashi in 1931 in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, as a tire manufacturing plant. In the 2018 Fortune Global 500 rankings, it was ranked 365th. The company's English name is derived from the founder's surname, Ishibashi, translated literally. Bridgestone is the largest tire manufacturer in Japan and also the world's largest tire manufacturer. In Chinese, Bridgestone was once referred to as 'Ishibashi Brand,' but today the company uniformly uses the transliterated name 'Bridgestone.' For the Qashqai's tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves on the tires gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can be potential hazards for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park the car near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this will accelerate tire wear. Do not use water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and the air pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging the tires against the road.
