The situation where the steering gear of Lavida Hatchback shakes left and right with abnormal noise is as follows: Steel plate friction sound: Abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary should be the sound of the steering wheel's horn wire transmission spring steel plate rubbing against the steering wheel. Usually, the sound comes from inside the car and is a rustling metal friction sound. The solution is to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel. Toe-in or half-shaft issue: If the abnormal noise occurs while driving, the sound usually comes from the front suspension outside the car. If it is a sharp sound, it is likely caused by excessive or insufficient front wheel toe-in, resulting in tire scrubbing noise when the front wheels do not turn parallel during steering. If it is a grinding noise, it is the abnormal sound caused by excessive wear of the half-shaft CV joint. The solution is to replace the parts promptly.

What Causes Blue Smoke During Cold Engine Start?

Causes and solutions for blue smoke during cold engine start are as follows: 1. The vehicle uses unqualified engine oil, or the oil has not been changed for a long time, resulting in overly thin oil that burns incompletely and causes blue smoke. Solution: Regularly replace with qualified high-quality engine oil. 2. Poor quality of the air-fuel mixture participating in combustion, or failure to replace aged/damaged filters. Solution: Replace aged or damaged filters. 3. Severe wear of valve guides and valves creates excessive clearance, allowing excessive oil from the rocker arm chamber to be drawn into the combustion chamber during intake, leading to blue smoke. Solution: Perform regular maintenance at professional auto repair shops. 4. Piston rings get stuck in grooves due to carbon deposits, losing elasticity and normal function. Solution: Replace piston rings if necessary, or remove them to clean carbon deposits. 5. Excessive oil in the oil pan causes oil to splash into the combustion chamber during high-speed crankshaft rotation. Solution: Check oil level with dipstick and drain excess oil. 6. Severe wear between cylinder liners and piston components creates excessive clearance, allowing large amounts of oil to enter the combustion chamber during engine operation, resulting in incomplete combustion and blue smoke. Solution: Replace damaged piston components.

How to Warm Up a Car in Cold Weather?

Here are the methods to warm up a car in cold weather: 1. The correct way to warm up the car is to drive off 30 seconds to one minute after starting the engine, but avoid driving at high speeds at this time. Maintain a low speed (approximately 3-5 minutes), generally keeping the RPM below 2000 (for high-displacement engines, no more than 3000). Once the engine temperature rises to the normal operating temperature, you can resume normal driving; 2. After starting the car in winter, the water temperature will be lower than normal. Wait until the water temperature returns to normal (i.e., at the 1/3 mark on the dashboard) before gradually accelerating. After ignition, wait in place for about 30 seconds to 1 minute; 3. The correct way to warm up the car is to start the engine and let it idle for no more than 1 minute to warm up, then drive slowly for 3-5 minutes. For automatic transmission cars, you generally don't need to press the accelerator. Once the water temperature gauge shows the 1/3 mark, the tachometer returns to normal, and the RPM does not surge when slightly pressed, you can drive normally.

Why does a diesel car have unstable idle speed with fluctuations?

Unstable idle speed in a car is mainly manifested by the fluctuation of the tachometer needle and unstable pointing during idling. Unstable idle speed can be considered one of the most common engine faults, which can range from minor to severe. It is often accompanied by idle vibration. The following are the reasons for unstable idle speed: 1. Oil accumulation and carbon deposits in the throttle body, and dirty intake passages: Blocked intake passages can cause idle speed fluctuations, while carbon deposits or oil in the throttle body are the most common causes of unstable idle speed. Carbon deposits in the throttle body can affect its opening, thereby influencing the intake air volume, causing the engine speed to fluctuate significantly and become very unstable after a cold start, accompanied by strong vibrations. 2. Fuel system blockages represented by the fuel injector and intake pipe faults: These can lead to insufficient fuel supply pressure, poor fuel atomization, an imbalanced air-fuel mixture ratio, and incomplete combustion, resulting in related fault phenomena. If there is an air leak in the intake pipe, it can affect the accuracy of the air flow meter's data, causing the ECU to inaccurately control the intake air volume, which also leads to an imbalanced air-fuel mixture ratio and unstable engine idle speed.
