Wiper linkage ball joint keeps falling off due to prolonged use leading to detachment. Below are detailed symptoms of a damaged ball joint in a car: 1. Abnormal noise: The car will produce abnormal noises when driving on bumpy roads. If the car frequently drives on rough road conditions, the lifespan of the ball joint will be relatively shorter, and it may get damaged within 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. 2. Vibration: A noticeable wheel vibration can be felt during low-speed driving. 3. Unstable driving: The car becomes unstable while driving, exhibiting side-to-side swaying and deviation, and in severe cases, it may even cause brake failure. 4. Prone to breakage: If the ball joint has excessive play, it is more likely to break under impact loads.

Where is the cabin air filter located on the Citroën C5?

Citroën C5's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is relevant information about the Citroën C5: 1. All Citroën C5 models use activated carbon cabin air filters. To replace the filter, first pry open three plastic clips at the bottom, then remove two cover plates in sequence to partially reveal the filter. Due to its angled insertion design, the filter must be carefully pulled out bit by bit. 2. According to the manufacturer's recommendation, the Citroën C5 cabin air filter should be replaced every 15,000 kilometers or annually. Considering the vehicle's operating environment and passenger health, filter replacement should be adjusted based on actual conditions. 3.

Reasons for Low Oil Pressure Alarm in Roewe i5

Reasons for low oil pressure in Roewe i5 are as follows: 1. Whether the oil filling amount is sufficient, if insufficient, it will lead to insufficient oil pumping by the oil pump and result in low oil pressure; 2. Metal debris in the oil clogging the oil pump filter screen, oil filter or oil passages; 3. The oil brand filled is inappropriate or the oil has deteriorated; 4. Faulty oil pressure alarm causing false low oil pressure warnings; 5. Oil pressure is a systemic issue, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for detailed inspection. The following are the reasons for oil burning: 1. Carbon deposits are the root cause of various engine problems. Carbon deposits accumulate in the piston grooves, causing the piston rings to stick together and reducing the oil scraping and sealing ability. 2. Sludge can also block the oil return holes, preventing the oil from returning normally, leading to increased oil consumption. 3. Carbon deposits further aggravate the wear between the piston and cylinder wall, creating excessive gaps and allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber. 4. Corrosion and aging of the valve oil seals, resulting in poor sealing.
