Small oil refers to illegally processed (self-processed and produced) diesel or gasoline, which is cheaper than fuel from gas stations. The following are the hazards of adding small oil: 1. Diesel filter clogging: Once small oil is used for a long time, the diesel filter will become clogged with impurities in the oil, leading to poor fuel supply, reduced power, and other issues. Not only will the replacement cycle of the diesel filter be shortened, but the fuel pump may also be damaged due to clogging by impurities. 2. Fuel injector clogging: Some impurities in small oil adhere to the diesel filter, while others pass directly through the fuel injector without being filtered. Over time, the fuel injector will also become clogged, which not only affects vehicle performance but also causes the fuel injector to fail prematurely. 3. Engine carbon deposits: Impurities in impure diesel will turn into carbon deposits inside the engine cylinders after combustion. When carbon deposits accumulate excessively, the vehicle may experience unstable idling, weak acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and other problems.

Should the steering wheel be straightened after parking?

It is necessary to straighten the steering wheel after parking, as failing to do so can lead to various issues. If the steering wheel is not straightened after parking, it is equivalent to the power steering pump pushing out oil to assist with steering without the oil returning, creating negative pressure inside the pump. This accelerates the aging of the power steering pump and also places excessive pressure on the oil pipes. The hazards of not straightening the steering wheel after parking to the steering system include: when the steering wheel is not straightened, the wheels will pull on the steering linkage, preventing it from returning to its original position. At the same time, the steering wheel's gears and the steering linkage's rack remain under stress, which over time can lead to accelerated aging or deformation, causing the vehicle to drift and resulting in uneven tire wear.

Does a broken ball joint on an Audi A6 have any impact?

A broken ball joint on an Audi A6 does have an impact, but it is relatively minor. A damaged stabilizer bar ball joint can cause noise when driving on rough roads, but no abnormal sounds will occur on paved roads. Stabilizer bar suppresses body roll: When the left and right wheels of a car pass over different road bumps or potholes, it generates roll resistance to suppress body roll. Types of stabilizer bars: Front lower control arm stabilizer bar (original equipment necessary part), toe adjustment stabilizer bar (original equipment necessary part), front shock tower brace (commonly known as 'top bar' in Hong Kong and Macau, optional part), front crossmember stabilizer bar (commonly known as 'front lower bar', optional part), etc.

What are the causes of the electronic steering lock failure in the Baojun e200?

Baojun e200 electronic steering lock failure causes: steering system failure, insufficient tire pressure, loose bolts. The following are detailed explanations: Steering system failure: The cause of steering system failure may be a large amount of air in the power steering system. Foreign objects in the steering system can cause the steering pump flow control valve to stick. Excessive wear of the steering gear piston cylinder, among other reasons. Insufficient tire pressure: Insufficient tire pressure, interference or loose connections in the steering column of the pump, loose or slipping belt of the pump, or loose installation position of the pump. Loose bolts: Loose bolts at various connection points of the oil pipes, leading to steering fluid leakage.

What does it mean to flash a stage 1 program on an Audi?

Flashing stage 1 for a car refers to improving power by altering ECU software parameters without modifying the hardware. It is not recommended for car owners to enhance their vehicle's power this way, as it can cause significant damage to the car. The cost is very low: The modification cost for flashing stage 1 is very low. Specifically, flashing stage 1 involves adjusting the car's parameters, including fuel injection and ignition timing advance angle, among others. However, the power improvement achieved through this method is not ideal. Stage 1 ECU: The power increase is not very noticeable. Stage 1 ECU refers to adding the most basic ECU program to the car's original factory ECU, thereby increasing the car's horsepower and torque. This only requires matching with the factory hardware.

Is the Tank 300 two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive?

The Tank 300 is four-wheel drive, equipped with a part-time four-wheel drive system. How part-time four-wheel drive works: It is a form of four-wheel drive system where the driver can switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions, allowing for free conversion between the two. Normally, part-time four-wheel drive vehicles operate using either the front or rear wheels, but can switch to four-wheel drive on snowy or gravel roads, hence also known as selectable four-wheel drive. This is the most common drive mode for off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs. Advantages of part-time four-wheel drive: The main advantage is that it ensures both the vehicle's power and off-road capability while maintaining fuel efficiency. The slight drawback is that the driver needs to manually assess road conditions and operate the drive mode.

What are the light transmittance requirements for light-colored window films on the front windows of a Range Rover?

The light transmittance requirement for light-colored window films on the front windows of a Range Rover is no less than 70%. Car window film: It refers to applying a thin film-like material to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle. This film is also known as solar film or heat-insulating film. Functions of car window film: The primary functions include blocking ultraviolet rays, reducing heat transmission, preventing injuries caused by shattered glass, and reducing glare. Additionally, the one-way transparency feature of the film helps protect personal privacy. It also minimizes damage to interior items and occupants from UV exposure, lowers the interior temperature through physical reflection, reduces the use of air conditioning, thereby saving fuel and cutting costs.
