Here are the differences between ceramic brakes and regular brakes: 1. Composition: Ceramic brakes eliminate noise issues as they contain no metal components, avoiding the sound of friction against the brake disc. 2. Impact on brake disc lifespan: Compared to regular brakes, ceramic brakes can extend the lifespan of brake discs and prevent scratches on them. 3. Temperature resistance: Ceramic brake pads are more heat-resistant than regular brake pads. 4. Friction coefficient: Ceramic brake pads maintain a stable friction coefficient, ensuring excellent braking performance. 5. Heat dissipation: Ceramic brake pads dissipate heat faster than regular brake pads.

I've used cars with ceramic brakes, and the biggest differences I noticed are in heat dissipation and performance. The ceramic material is resistant to high temperatures without fading, such as during high-speed continuous braking, where it doesn't shake or respond slower, and the braking distance remains consistently short. Ordinary metal brakes are prone to overheating and reduced braking efficiency in hot weather. Ceramic brakes are also much lighter, reducing the overall vehicle weight, slightly improving handling flexibility and fuel efficiency. They emit less dust, keeping the rims clean and saving the hassle of frequent car washes. However, the price is shockingly high—a full set replacement can cost tens of thousands, several times more than ordinary brakes. Maintenance requires professional shops. So, from my experience, unless you frequently drive on highways or race tracks, ordinary brakes are reliable and economical enough for daily commuting. Additionally, ceramic brakes are more durable, wear slower, and are more environmentally friendly, which offers extra benefits for my driving environment.

How to Install Car Spark Plugs?

Steps for installing spark plugs: First, open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Then, use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any leaves, dust, etc., on the outside and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Next, place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Finally, reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order and secure the cover. Location of spark plugs: Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. In earlier models, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition wires. However, over the past decade or so, most car engines have been updated to feature ignition coils directly connected to the spark plugs. Working principle of spark plugs: Under high voltage, the air between the center electrode and the side electrode of the spark plug rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties. A discharge channel forms in the gap, leading to a "breakdown" phenomenon. At this point, the gas becomes a luminous body, known as a "spark." Along with the heat expansion, a "crackling" sound is also produced. The temperature of this electric spark can reach 2000–3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber.

What level of SUV is the CHR?

CHR is a compact SUV, which belongs to the GAC Toyota brand. Taking the 2020 Toyota CHR as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4405mm, width 1795mm, height 1565mm, wheelbase 2640mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters, and curb weight 1490kg. The 2020 Toyota CHR is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 126kW at 6600rpm, maximum torque of 203Nm at 4400-4800rpm, and is paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.

What to Do When Engine Coolant Temperature is Too High?

Engine coolant temperature is too high solution is: unscrew the radiator cap a small crack, wait for the water vapor to slowly discharge, after the radiator pressure drops, add cold water or coolant. The main functions of coolant are: 1. When parking in winter, prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator and freezing the engine cylinder block or cover; 2. When the temperature is high in summer, it can effectively prevent boiling and avoid the phenomenon of boiling over. The reasons for the engine coolant temperature being too high are: 1. The outer surface of the radiator is too dirty or internally clogged; 2. Insufficient or leaking coolant; 3. Damaged thermostat; 4. Damaged water pump; 5. Damaged cooling fan and control system.

Does It Matter If the Tread Patterns of the Rear Tires Are Inconsistent?

It does matter if the tread patterns of the rear tires are inconsistent. The impacts include: 1. Inconsistent friction coefficients and rolling resistance in the direction of travel; 2. Uneven tire grip; 3. Uneven heat generation among individual tires during driving, leading to accelerated wear. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground contact and rolling. Their functions are: 1. To prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components, adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle, and reduce driving noise; 2. To support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions.

What Causes the Engine Fault Light to Illuminate and the Car to Shake?

The reasons for the engine fault light illuminating and the car shaking are: 1. Internal short circuit in the fuel pump, preventing normal supply of low-pressure fuel; 2. Air leakage in the engine intake system; 3. Excessively dirty throttle or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors; 4. Aging of engine components; 5. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine; 6. Poor quality or substandard fuel; 7. Malfunction in the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, or ignition coils. The solutions for the engine fault light illuminating and the car shaking are: 1. Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils; 2. Clean engine carbon deposits, throttle, replace oil pads and spark plugs; 3. Visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and whether the intake pressure sensor is functioning normally.
