What Causes Trembling While Driving?

Introduction to the causes of trembling while driving: The main fault reason is the increase of carbon deposits in the throttle, intake tract, valves and other parts. When the car is cold, some gasoline is adsorbed, and when the car is hot, this gasoline evaporates, causing the mixture to be too rich when the engine is idling, leading to unstable hot idling. The following are specific reasons: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car trembling is a dirty throttle or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injector. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in a too lean mixture during cold start, making it difficult to start. 2. Ignition system problems: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or bad spark plug firing can also lead to such faults. 3. Unstable oil pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, washed the throttle, replaced the oil pads and spark plugs, etc., and still find the car body trembling when idling, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop to check whether the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor are normal. If the fuel pump supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor value is wrong and working poorly, it will cause the car body to tremble. 4. Aging engine components: Car trembling is also related to the aging of engine mounts. Engine mounts are actually the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing the slight tremors when the engine is running. If there is a problem with the engine mounts, these vibrations will be transmitted to the steering wheel and the interior of the car, causing trembling when idling.

What are the differences between antifreeze and coolant?

The difference between antifreeze and coolant is that antifreeze only has antifreeze function, while coolant has both cooling and antifreeze functions. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze function. Correct use of coolant can not only protect the engine's cooling system to improve heat dissipation, but also enhance engine efficiency and extend its service life. The following are the functions of antifreeze coolant: 1. Anti-corrosion function. The engine and its cooling system are made of metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals will corrode and rust when in contact with water under high temperatures over time. Antifreeze coolant not only does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system, but also has anti-corrosion and rust removal functions. 2. Antifreeze coolant has a high boiling point. The boiling point of water is 100°C, while the boiling point of high-quality antifreeze coolant is usually above 110°C, making it less likely to boil when used in summer. 3. Antifreeze coolant can prevent scale. The most troublesome issue for drivers using water as a coolant is scale formation. Scale adheres to the metal surfaces of the radiator and water jacket, gradually reducing heat dissipation efficiency and being difficult to remove. High-quality coolant is made with distilled water and contains scale inhibitors, not only preventing scale formation but also having descaling functions.

How to Turn on the Heating Air Conditioning in the Tiguan L?

After starting the Tiguan L, wait approximately 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to rise to the normal operating level before turning on the heating. When the water temperature reaches the middle range, adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to internal circulation and set it to heating mode, but do not turn on the AC switch. The method to activate the car's heating system is as follows: 1. After starting the car, wait about 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to reach normal operating temperature (i.e., when the gauge reaches the middle range) before activating the heating. 2. Switch the air conditioning circulation to internal recirculation mode. 3. Set to heating mode (indicated by a red zone or sun symbol on some vehicles). 4. Do not turn on the AC switch, as the heating system utilizes the car's own heat cycle, which saves energy. 5. Adjust the air conditioning to an appropriate fan speed and direct the airflow as desired. 6. Typically, heated air should be directed toward the front and footwell areas, while cooled air is usually directed forward.

What is the method to reset the maintenance light for the 2018 Dongfeng Honda CR-V?

The 2018 CR-V maintenance light can be reset using the following three methods: 1. Using the function buttons on the steering wheel. a. Turn the CR-V's power to ON mode. b. Repeatedly press the (Display/Information) button until "Maintenance" appears on the screen. c. Press the Enter button, and the engine oil monitor will appear on the screen. d. Finally, hold the Enter button for about 10 seconds, and the maintenance light will reset successfully. 2. Using the function buttons on the steering wheel. a. Turn the CR-V's power to ON mode. b. Repeatedly press the (Display/Information) button until "Maintenance" appears on the screen. c. Press the Enter button, and the engine oil monitor will appear on the screen. d. Finally, hold the Enter button for about 10 seconds, and the maintenance light will reset successfully. 3. Visit an authorized Honda service center. When the maintenance light comes on, you should go to an authorized service center as soon as possible for maintenance. The technicians there will reset the maintenance light using a car diagnostic tool. However, if the light does not reset after maintenance, you will need to follow the steps mentioned above to reset it. Resetting the CR-V maintenance light is essential for the accuracy of the next maintenance data, so this step is very necessary.

Is Low Tire Pressure Due to a Leak?

Low tire pressure in a car refers to the situation where the air pressure inside the tire is too low, resulting in insufficient tire pressure. In such cases, it is necessary to inspect the tire and adjust the air pressure. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and makes the vehicle prone to drifting, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation in the tire; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a rapid decrease in strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side more prone to cracking, while generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulder.

What Insurance Should You Generally Buy for a Family Sedan?

Generally, you should purchase compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, and vehicle damage insurance. Below are the relevant introductions to these types of insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding passengers in the insured vehicle and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Like compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance compensates the affected third party, essentially serving as a supplement to compulsory traffic insurance. The compensation limit of compulsory traffic insurance is limited and relatively low, with a maximum of only 122,000 yuan. For third-party liability insurance, it is recommended to insure between 500,000 to 1 million yuan. If financial conditions permit, you can opt for 1.5 million yuan or higher coverage. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle damage insurance compensates for the loss of your own vehicle. The premium for vehicle damage insurance is closely related to the purchase price and the number of seats of the car. In other words, the higher the car price, the higher the premium.
