BYD steering gear noise may be caused by the following reasons: Lack of lubricating oil: The screws inside the steering wheel lack lubricating oil. This requires removing the steering wheel cover and adding lubricating oil inside, which should allow smooth movement on the tracks and shafts. Over-turning the steering wheel: The steering gear may also malfunction. Normally, if the steering wheel is turned too sharply during steering, it places a greater load on the steering gear, leading to severe wear and resulting noise. It is recommended to inspect and replace the components. Insufficient tire pressure: Uneven tire pressure in the left front or right front tires can cause the car to pull to one side, leading to unbalanced wheel bearings, misaligned steering gear, and resulting noise and deviation.

How Often Should Water Be Added to a Car?

Water should be added to the car's radiator every two years or every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers driven. The water referred to here is coolant, not tap water. If the coolant level in the reservoir is below the minimum mark (the normal level should be between MIN and MAX), it should be replenished promptly. When purchasing coolant, choose the appropriate type based on the region where your vehicle is located. Coolant prevents the freezing of the liquid in the cooling system during cold winter months, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine block or cylinder head. It should be used year-round. Coolant Lifespan: Coolant is generally replaced every two years. Prolonged use without replacement can lead to scale buildup, clogging the water passages and impairing circulation, resulting in overheating. Using High-Quality Coolant: Some inferior coolants produced by low-quality manufacturers can be corrosive. They not only damage the cooling system but also harm electrical wiring and other components in the engine bay if they overflow. In severe cases, they can corrode the radiator and leak into the engine.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise from the Sunroof Seal?

The squeaking noise from the sunroof seal may be caused by aging of the seal, which requires timely replacement. Definition of a Car Sunroof: A car sunroof is installed on the roof of the vehicle and effectively promotes air circulation inside the car, allowing fresh air to enter. Additionally, a sunroof can provide a broader view and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Benefits of a Car Sunroof: While opening the side windows can also facilitate air exchange, a sunroof changes the traditional method of ventilation. When the sunroof is opened, wind creates a flow of air that draws out stale air from the cabin. During high-speed driving, air flows rapidly around the car. When the sunroof is opened, an area of low pressure forms outside the vehicle. Due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the car, the stale air inside is drawn out, achieving the purpose of ventilation and ensuring the cabin remains filled with fresh air.
