All electrical equipment basically requires inspection, repair, or replacement. The following components need to be checked: 1. Headlights: If the vehicle was submerged deep enough to cover the front end, the headlights have likely been damaged. After water exposure, a layer of white fog (condensation) may appear inside the headlights, significantly affecting their performance. 2. Chassis: The vehicle chassis is typically one of the most severely damaged components after water exposure, as inspection underneath the vehicle is difficult. Various debris such as plastic bags often adhere to the underside of the chassis and may stick to the exhaust pipe. 3. Air filter: As everyone should know, the air filter functions like the engine's lungs, filtering impurities from the air. If airborne contaminants enter the cylinders, they will cause severe wear to the cylinder walls during engine operation.

Why Does the Engine Shake While Driving?

Reasons for engine shaking while driving: 1. The engine mount's function is to reduce vibration and provide cushioning during engine operation, as well as to secure the engine. Once the engine mount becomes aged or loose, engine shaking becomes noticeably abnormal. 2. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine reduces the car's ignition energy and intake efficiency, ultimately leading to symptoms such as engine shaking and sluggish acceleration. 3. Using incompatible fuel octane ratings can result in decreased car output power and reduced performance. Alternatively, if the fuel tank cap vent is blocked, or if the fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or the fuel line between the fuel tank and carburetor are partially obstructed, the required fuel supply cannot be met, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture and engine shaking. 4. If the air filter is not cleaned in time after prolonged use and becomes clogged, insufficient air intake will cause an overly rich combustible mixture, reducing engine power. For vehicles equipped with a turbocharger, any malfunction in the turbocharging device can also cause the engine to shake during acceleration.

Where is the OBD interface located on the MG3?

The OBD interface of the MG3 is located under the steering wheel on the driver's side. Here is a detailed introduction to the MG3's OBD interface: 1. The OBD interface is inside the card storage compartment on the left side under the steering wheel on the driver's side. Open the storage compartment to see the OBD interface. The OBD interface can be connected to a diagnostic computer, so when the car malfunctions, it generates fault codes, which can be read after connecting to the diagnostic computer. 2. The OBD system continuously monitors whether the vehicle's emissions exceed standards based on the engine's operating conditions. If they exceed the standard, a warning will be issued immediately. When the system fails, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will store the fault information in memory. The fault codes can be read from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault codes, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault.

What are the causes of steering gear noise in the BYD Tang?

BYD Tang steering gear noise may be caused by: lack of lubricating oil in the steering wheel screws; potential steering gear failure - turning the wheel to full lock places greater load on the steering mechanism, leading to severe wear and noise; insufficient tire pressure. Below are additional details: Solutions: For lack of lubricating oil in steering wheel screws, remove the steering wheel cover and add lubricating oil. If the steering gear is faulty, component inspection and replacement is recommended. Uneven tire pressure between left/right front tires can cause vehicle deviation, resulting in unbalanced wheel bearings, misaligned steering gear, and consequent noise and pulling.
