What Causes the Squeaking Noise of Brake Pads on Rainy Days?

On rainy days, the squeaking noise from brake pads is caused by fine sand carried by rainwater adhering to the brake discs. After rain, the brake discs may rust and develop tiny particles. Brake pads come in hard and soft varieties—hard pads are more wear-resistant, but if there are small particles between the hard pads and the gray cast iron brake discs, they can produce a sharp squeaking noise. Pressing the brakes a few times to wear off these particles usually resolves the issue. Brake pads are critical safety components in a car's braking system, consisting of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by checking the temperature distribution during coating.

What to Do When the Inside of the Car Windows Fog Up?

Methods to deal with fogging inside car windows: 1. Turn on the car's fan and air conditioning switch, and the cold air will blow onto the windshield, quickly clearing the fog. 2. If the fog is not heavy and it's not very cold outside, you can open the side windows slightly to allow air convection inside the car. This will gradually equalize the temperature inside the car with the outside temperature, causing the fog to dissipate. 3. You can choose to use specialized anti-fog products. 4. You can also use dishwashing liquid with a dry cloth to wipe the windows. The specific method is to mix dishwashing liquid with water, apply it evenly to the inside of the car windows with a sponge, and then wipe it clean with a car towel after it dries, leaving no water marks. Generally, this can effectively prevent fogging for up to 20 hours.

What is the function of the mid-section of a car's exhaust system?

The mid-section exhaust pipe serves to reduce gas flow velocity, exhaust noise, and exhaust temperature. Below are the relevant details: 1. A car's exhaust system consists of the exhaust pipe, catalytic converter, muffler, tailpipe, etc. 2. The exhaust pipe is the pathway for exhaust gases. Its chassis layout, pipe length, diameter size, and muffler size all affect the flow of exhaust gases, preventing interference between exhaust streams from adjacent cylinders. In fuel-injected engines, the oxygen sensor is installed on the exhaust manifold, detecting the oxygen content in the exhaust and feeding this information back to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), which then determines the air-fuel mixture ratio entering the engine. 3. The exhaust manifold connects to the catalytic converter, whose function is to purify the car's exhaust gases using catalysts, converting harmful substances in the exhaust into harmless ones.

How to Adjust the Height of a Car Clutch?

The method for adjusting the height of a car clutch is as follows: 1. Turn off the engine, engage the handbrake, and shift to neutral. 2. Lie down in the driver's footwell area and remove the plastic panel with lights. During removal, push firmly toward the front of the car, then pull in the opposite direction to detach it from the vehicle. Gently pull downward, being careful not to damage the wiring for the mood lights inside. 3. Use an open-end wrench to loosen the adjustment nut counterclockwise. You can then adjust the height—clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise. 4. After adjustment, test drive the car. If it feels right, tighten the nut clockwise to secure the screw and reinstall the plastic panel. Notes for adjusting clutch height: Clutches come in mechanical and hydraulic types. Mechanical clutches are adjustable, while hydraulic ones are not.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise from the Left Front Wheel?

Solution: Abnormal engine noise indicates that the technical state of a certain engine mechanism has changed. This is mainly caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment. Some abnormal noises can even predict potential catastrophic damage to the engine. Therefore, when abnormal noise occurs in the engine, it should be repaired promptly to prevent the fault from worsening. Here are some tire maintenance suggestions: 1. When replacing a new tire, it is best to perform a four-wheel alignment to prevent tire wear or edge wear. 2. Check the tire pressure once a month, which should be between 2.2 and 2.8. The pressure on the same axle must be the same to prevent running deviation and uneven wear. 3. Occasionally use a hard object to pick out stones stuck in the tread. 4. Pay special attention when the tire is punctured by a nail or other objects; it is best to replace it with a spare tire promptly.
