The causes of squeaking sounds in a car are: 1. Damaged shock absorber: When the vehicle's shock absorber is damaged, due to coordination issues between its components, it will produce squeaking noises when operating on bumpy roads. 2. Damaged suspension spring: When the shock absorber top mount wears out excessively and gets damaged, besides generating abnormal noises during operation, even when the shock absorber is not working, turning the steering wheel while stationary can also cause noises. The shock absorber and elastic elements bear the tasks of cushioning impacts and absorbing shocks. Excessive damping force will deteriorate the suspension elasticity and may even damage the shock absorber connecting parts. The suspension spring is used to control continuous fluid vibration excitations (such as fluid pulsation, two-phase flow, high-speed flow, and wind-induced vibration) in the piping system vibration.

What is the Chinese term for AMT?

AMT stands for Automated Manual Transmission in Chinese, also known as a sequential gearbox. Structurally, AMT is similar to a conventional manual transmission (MT). However, by integrating a computerized control system, it automates the clutch engagement and gear-shifting processes that would otherwise be manually operated. AMT transmissions are essentially upgraded versions of traditional manual gear transmissions, combining the advantages of both automatic (AT) and manual transmissions (MT) into an electromechanical-hydraulic integrated automatic transmission. AMT not only inherits the automatic shifting convenience of conventional automatic transmissions but also retains the high efficiency, low cost, simple structure, and ease of manufacturing benefits of manual gear transmissions. When shifting gears with an AMT transmission, the driver only needs to simply push or pull the gear lever, a design that not only speeds up gear changes but also reduces the likelihood of incorrect shifts.

How to Solve Poor Heat Dissipation in Car Radiators?

Solutions for poor heat dissipation in car radiators are as follows: 1. High-pressure air: Check if there is excessive dust between the condenser and the radiator, and clean thoroughly with high-pressure air to ensure good heat dissipation performance of the radiator and condenser. Friendly reminder: Regularly wipe off the dust between the condenser and the radiator. 2. Temperature difference: When the car is hot, check the temperature difference between the upper and lower radiator hoses. If the difference is too large, inspect the thermostat's opening and whether the water pump has a speed loss fault. Friendly reminder: The temperature difference between the upper and lower radiator hoses should not be too large. 3. Coolant: After the car is hot, check the coolant return flow in the upper return pipe of the coolant reservoir. Poor or blocked return flow can cause the water temperature to rise too high. Friendly reminder: Do not blindly remove or replace parts during repairs.

Will Insurance Cover a Car Washed Away by Heavy Rain?

If you have purchased commercial auto insurance, an incident where heavy rain washes away your car is considered an accidental event, and partial insurance compensation can be claimed for the vehicle repair costs caused by the heavy rain. Here are the correct steps to follow: Report the claim promptly: Auto insurance policies typically require reporting the claim to the insurance company within 48 hours of the incident; otherwise, the insurer may refuse compensation. If someone else is entrusted to report the claim on your behalf, the reporting person should also bring their ID card and a letter of authorization issued by the policyholder. Damage assessment and repair: All vehicle losses caused by the insurance incident must be assessed by the insurance company before repairs (the assessment can be done at a repair shop or 4S shop designated by the insurer, or at a shop with qualified assessors, but it must be ensured that all three parties are present) to determine the loss items and amount.
