PEA in fuel additive refers to the component added to the fuel additive: Polyether Amine (PEA). Performance of PEA additive: From practical usage effects, fuel additives containing Polyether Amine (PEA) indeed have good carbon deposit removal capabilities. However, claims about fuel savings and power enhancement are more psychological, as these effects are hardly noticeable in actual usage. Usage of PEA additive: This type of cleaning fuel additive is for periodic use. It is generally sufficient to add it once every few thousand kilometers. Continuous use is not recommended, as it may cause engine shaking, increased fuel consumption, and other issues.

What Types of Insurance Should You Buy for a Small Car?

It is required by law and must be paid on time. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Third-Party Liability Insurance serves as an effective supplement to the Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, which has limited and relatively low coverage. Third-Party Liability Insurance offers more comprehensive protection. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle Damage Insurance provides compensation for damage to your own vehicle. The premium for this insurance is largely determined by the purchase price of the vehicle and the number of seats. Generally, the higher the vehicle price, the higher the premium. Spontaneous Combustion Loss Insurance: Spontaneous Combustion Loss Insurance primarily covers liability for vehicle damage caused by aging circuits or fuel supply issues. In the event of an accidental fire, you can apply for insurance compensation.

Can I make a U-turn in the left-turn lane when there is a dedicated U-turn lane?

Only lanes marked with a U-turn sign cannot be used for left turns, while lanes marked with both U-turn and left-turn signs can be used for left turns. Precautions for vehicle U-turns: Intersections with U-turn signals: At any intersection, if there is a dedicated U-turn signal or ground marking, always follow the instructions of the signal and ground markings. These are usually located in the leftmost lane, though some may be on the right. Intersections with left-turn signals but no U-turn signals: As long as there is no "No U-turn" sign or a separate U-turn signal, vehicles can make a U-turn at any time, provided it does not interfere with normal traffic flow and is safe. Typically, the central median on regular roads changes from a solid line to a dashed line near the intersection, allowing U-turns in this area. "No Left Turn" implies "No U-turn": If an intersection has a "No Left Turn" sign, even if there is no "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are also prohibited. The "No Left Turn" sign carries the dual effect of prohibiting both left turns and U-turns. If the leftmost lane at an intersection is a straight-only lane and there is no "straight with guide arrow" marking on the road, drivers must not make a U-turn, or they will be penalized.

How many kilometers should the timing belt of the new Octavia be replaced?

The timing belt of the Octavia generally needs to be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If the mileage hasn't been reached, it should still be inspected if it's been over 5 years. Signs that the timing belt needs replacement: The car experiences unstable idling and is prone to stalling, mainly characterized by poor acceleration and lack of power during acceleration. In severe cases, the engine may shake. When these symptoms appear, and faults in components like the throttle are ruled out, the timing belt should be considered as the issue. Visually, any cracks on the belt indicate it's time for a replacement. Consequences of a broken timing belt: A broken timing belt will cause the valves to open and close at the wrong time, and the pistons to move up and down out of sync. This misalignment can lead to the valves and pistons colliding, resulting in damage to both and rendering the engine inoperable. In severe cases, a major engine overhaul may be required. Necessity of timing belt replacement: The timing belt is responsible for the precise coordination of key engine components, making it crucial for the engine's proper operation. If the timing belt fails, the valves and ignition system may stop working or become erratic, causing the engine to cease functioning. In severe cases, the cylinder head may also be damaged. If this happens, a major engine overhaul is necessary.

Symptoms of Loose Tire Bolts?

Symptoms include hearing a clicking sound while driving, and in severe cases, the tire may wobble during driving, causing the car to deviate from its path. Precautions for tire replacement are as follows: 1. Check the tire's expiration date: Generally, tires should not be stored for more than 3 years from the production date, and should not be used for more than 8 years after installation. 2. Observe the tire tread and color: Old tires are severely worn, and inferior retreaded tires are not processed properly, resulting in shallower treads. Retreaded tires often have overly vibrant colors. 3. Look for tire hairs: New original tires have many small hairs on the surface, which gradually disappear after driving 5-10 kilometers. Retreaded tires cannot replicate these hairs. 4. Lightly scratch with a key to check for marks: Due to prolonged use, the rubber on retreaded tires loses elasticity, and scratching with a key will leave marks. 5. Check the smoothness of the joint between the tread and sidewall: New tires have smooth and even joints, while retreaded tires have treads glued onto old tire bodies, leaving visible adhesive marks at the joints. 6. Examine the tire markings: Original tires have raised markings indicating the model, performance, production date, and wear indicators. These markings are integral to the tire on genuine new tires, whereas retreaded tires often have markings that are easily peeled off by hand.

Can Novice Drivers Drive on the Highway?

Novice drivers are allowed to drive on the highway, but during the probationary period (one year), they need to be accompanied by an experienced driver. Regulations after the probationary period: They can drive on the highway alone. One major difference between driving on the highway and driving in the city is the higher speed on the highway. Since highway speeds are generally around 100 km/h, novice drivers who are not accustomed to such high speeds may be more prone to accidents. Therefore, before driving on the highway, novice drivers should practice handling the car at high speeds to avoid losing control due to nervousness. Precautions for novice drivers on the highway: Pre-drive vehicle inspection: Before driving, the driver should conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, with particular attention to fluids, tires, the braking system, etc. Ensure all fluids are at the proper levels and inspect the tires carefully, removing any debris from the tread. Adjust the rearview mirrors: Properly adjusted rearview mirrors allow the driver to better observe the sides and rear of the vehicle. Note that the adjustment methods for the left and right mirrors are slightly different. Hold the steering wheel correctly: On the highway, incorrect steering wheel grip can lead to veering. The correct grip is to place the left hand at the 9 o'clock position and the right hand at the 3 o'clock position on the steering wheel. The left hand should primarily control the steering, while the right hand rests lightly on the wheel for easy gear shifting.
