What Causes Tire Smoke?

2 Answers

Tire smoke is most likely caused by locked brakes getting wet, or it could be due to driving with severely underinflated tires that have gotten wet. You should promptly visit a 4S shop to diagnose and repair the issue. Below is relevant information about car tire maintenance: Regular tire rotation: Rotate tire positions every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute tire fatigue and prevent uneven wear, thereby extending tire lifespan. Four driving habits to avoid: Avoid rapid acceleration, emergency braking, or sharp turns; avoid hitting curb stones; avoid parking on curb stones; avoid rapid driving on unpaved or uneven roads. Wheel alignment recommendation: Have it checked every 20,000 kilometers to reduce abnormal tire wear caused by changes in alignment parameters; after vehicle overload or driving on rough roads, visit an authorized dealer for inspection; prevent abnormal tire wear due to changes in wheel alignment parameters.

Tire smoke is a pretty common issue. I remember last time I slammed on the brakes on the highway, smoke appeared instantly—mainly caused by excessive friction heat. Situations like this could be due to brakes not fully releasing, or the handbrake getting stuck, dragging the tire along the ground. Alternatively, it might be low tire pressure increasing friction load. Also, overloading the vehicle or speeding on rough roads can cause overheating. In such cases, you should immediately pull over to a safe spot, let the tires cool down, then check tire pressure and the braking system. Definitely don't keep driving, to avoid blowouts or fires. Long-term neglect can damage rims or even body components, so regular tire pressure checks and avoiding sudden braking are essential. Safety first—if you spot issues, get to a repair shop promptly.

How Long Does a Dry Dual Clutch Last?

The lifespan of a dry dual clutch is generally around ten years. Typically, the clutch plates of a dry dual clutch need to be replaced after about ten years or 100,000 kilometers. The working environment of a dry dual clutch is exposed to the air, and its heat dissipation is achieved through several small holes on the clutch cover. Here is some relevant information: 1. The biggest difference between a dry dual clutch and a wet dual clutch is the cooling method. The dry clutch uses air cooling, while the wet clutch uses liquid cooling. Due to the absence of oil resistance, the clutch separation and engagement of a dry dual clutch are noticeably more efficient, with faster engagement response, rigid connection, and reduced wear. 2. Dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as these conditions can easily lead to overheating and cause malfunctions. Once the vehicle's computer issues a warning, it is essential to stop immediately and allow the transmission to cool down.

What do the letters on an automatic transmission stand for?

Here are the meanings of the automatic transmission gear positions R, N, D, and L: 1. R stands for Reverse, which can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary. For models with a lock button, the button must be pressed to switch to this gear. 2. N stands for Neutral, used for temporary stops to halt the vehicle's movement without interrupting power. For example, at traffic lights, the handbrake should also be engaged, and this gear should not be used when going downhill. 3. D stands for Drive, the most commonly used gear. Gear shifts can be controlled via the accelerator when needed. D1 (or L gear), D2, and D3 correspond to manual transmission gears 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6, respectively. 4. L stands for Low, used when going downhill to reduce brake usage, or when going uphill for more powerful climbing.

How often should the spark plugs of Volkswagen Tharu be replaced?

Volkswagen Tharu spark plugs should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Prepare a complete set of disassembly tools, and remove the intake pipe and antifreeze storage tank; 2. After removal, pull out the ignition coil, and use a socket and wrench tools to remove the spark plug; 3. Compare the old and new spark plugs. When installing the new spark plug, slide it slowly along the inner wall to avoid affecting the ignition gap. The function of the spark plug is to discharge the pulse high voltage sent by the high voltage wire, break down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, and generate an electric spark to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder. The Volkswagen Tharu has a length, width, and height of 4453mm, 1841mm, and 1632mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2680mm, a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Which is better, AT or DCT transmission?

Both AT and DCT transmissions have their own advantages and disadvantages, as detailed below: 1. AT technology is more mature than DCT technology. AT transmission refers to the automatic manual transmission, with Japan's Aisin 6AT being the most widely used. AT transmission is currently the most widely applied and popular transmission in the market. Traditional hydraulic automatic transmissions use a torque converter (or hydraulic coupling, multi-plate clutch, etc.), which can cushion the engine's power impact and, combined with planetary gears, offers stable performance. It can also withstand high torque. 2. DCT stands for dual-clutch transmission, which is divided into dry and wet types. Some high-end models generally use wet DCT, which has shorter shift times and matches the engine more perfectly, resulting in less shift shock and better fuel efficiency. However, most models currently use dry DCT.

What are the gears of a fully automatic car?

The gears of a fully automatic car are R, N, D, and L. Below are the meanings of the automatic transmission gears R, N, D, and L: 1. R stands for Reverse gear, which can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary. For models with a lock button, the button must also be pressed to switch. 2. N stands for Neutral gear, used for temporary parking to stop the vehicle's movement without interrupting the power. For example, when waiting at a traffic light, the handbrake should also be engaged. This gear is prohibited when going downhill. 3. D stands for Drive gear, the most commonly used gear. Gear shifting is controlled by the accelerator pedal. D1 (or L gear), D2, and D3 correspond to manual transmission gears 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6, respectively. 4. L stands for Low gear, used when going downhill to reduce brake usage, or when going uphill to provide more power for climbing.

What are the symptoms of an excessively lean air-fuel mixture in an engine?

The symptoms of an excessively lean air-fuel mixture in an engine are: 1. An excessively lean mixture will cause slow combustion of the air-fuel mixture during the power stroke, resulting in continued combustion during the exhaust stroke. The burning gases enter the exhaust pipe, causing it to glow red. 2. At idle, the engine load decreases, the throttle opening becomes smaller, and the intake air volume reduces. At this time, the intake manifold creates a vacuum due to the reduced throttle opening, and exhaust gases can be sucked back into the intake manifold during exhaust, further reducing the oxygen content in the intake manifold. 3. If the fuel injection is too rich at this point, it will cause a significant decrease in the air-fuel ratio, meaning the gasoline proportion is too high. As a result, oxygen becomes extremely scarce, leading to very low combustion efficiency and poor fuel economy. Additionally, it can cause carbon buildup in the cylinders and spark plugs, preventing them from functioning properly.
