The ET value of the original 17-inch wheel hub for the MG6 is 50. Meaning of wheel hub ET value: It represents the offset value of the wheel hub, indicating the deviation distance from the wheel centerline to the mounting surface of the hub. ET originates from the German term 'Einpress-Tiefe,' which literally translates to 'insertion depth.' ET value scale: If the ET value is a larger negative number, the wheel will protrude more outward when mounted on the vehicle. ET refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the hub and the centerline in the width direction of the hub. Generally, the smaller the value, the more the wheel protrudes outward from the wheel arch. Some wheels even have negative ET values, typically seen in modified off-road vehicles.

I've been driving my MG6 for over two years, and the original 17-inch wheels have an ET value of approximately 45mm. This offset is like the mounting offset of the wheel, determining how close or far the wheel is from the car body. A too small ET will make the tires stick out, looking cool but prone to rubbing against the fenders; a too large ET will make them tuck in, affecting cornering stability. I recommend checking the vehicle manual or confirming directly at the 4S dealership, as there might be slight adjustments for different year models. Don't randomly change the ET when modifying; I've seen friends experience strange noises after modifications, even accelerating tire wear. Remember, the factory settings are optimized for safety and performance. Regularly checking the wheel condition can prevent sudden issues, especially before high-speed driving.

As an auto mechanic, I frequently work with the MG6, where the factory 17-inch wheels typically have an ET of 45mm. The offset is the distance from the wheel center to the mounting surface, measured in millimeters. An incorrect value can easily lead to tire rubbing or unstable steering, so it's essential to measure it with professional tools. If you're changing wheels, make sure the ET matches or is close to the factory value—too large, and it will interfere with the brake disc; too small, and it will rub on the outer side. I've repaired many cars where owners modified the ET without understanding it, only to end up spending unnecessary money on suspension repairs. Safety comes first, so it's always a good idea to check the ET during maintenance.

Hey bro, I remember the ET of the original 17-inch alloy wheels on the MG6 is around 45. Offset refers to the wheel's offset, which directly affects both appearance and handling. A smaller ET makes the tires stick out more, giving a cool modified look but may risk rubbing the fenders; a larger ET is more low-key and safer. Last time I asked the experts at an exhibition, they recommended sticking to the original ET for more stable driving. Check the specs directly on the official website or app, and don't take risks by randomly changing wheels. Driving steadily is what makes it exciting.

Which one is the fuel pump relay in the Ford Escort?

The fuel pump relay in the Ford Escort is generally located under the dashboard on the lower left side of the driver, in the same box as the fuses. Here is some information about the fuel pump relay: 1. The main function of the fuel pump relay is to automatically close the contacts when the car reaches the specified oil pressure. 2. A relay is an automatic control device where the output undergoes a sudden change when the input reaches a certain value. Automotive relays are relays used in cars, characterized by their ability to switch high-load power and high resistance to impact and vibration. 3. The power supply in cars is mostly 12V, and the coil voltage is mostly designed for 12V. Since it is powered by a battery, the voltage is unstable; the coil overvoltage can reach up to 1.5VH.

Why are the steering wheels of foreign cars on the right side

This is because of Napoleon's requirement. Not all foreign cars have steering wheels on the right side. In many countries, the steering wheel is on the left, originating from the habit of carriage drivers sitting on the left and driving on the right. Additional information: 1. Currently, there are two prevailing systems in the world: one is driving on the right side, and the other is driving on the left side. 2. Approximately 90% of countries worldwide practice right-hand traffic, while the remaining countries drive on the left. Initially, when Karl Benz invented the car, the steering wheel was centered. However, based on ergonomic principles, over 90% of people are right-handed. To ensure accurate and safe use of the gearshift and brakes, designers naturally placed the driver's seat on the right. 3. During the carriage era, both people and vehicles in Europe had the habit of driving on the right. When cars were first introduced, most car owners employed drivers. To facilitate the driver opening the door for the owner, early cars naturally had right-hand drive and right-hand traffic. With historical evolution, different countries developed their own unique styles.

What maintenance is needed at 60,000 kilometers?

When a car reaches 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, it requires its first major maintenance. This may include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air conditioning filter, and air filter, depending on the condition of the vehicle. Here is extended information on car maintenance: 1. The lifespan of spark plugs is 30,000 kilometers, while platinum spark plugs last 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. For naturally aspirated engines, it is recommended to replace the original spark plugs at 60,000 kilometers. 2. Transmission fluid: manual transmission fluid should be changed at 60,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission fluid should be changed at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. In major cities, the replacement interval may be shorter. 3. Brake fluid is prone to absorbing moisture. If the moisture absorption rate exceeds 2%, it may lead to ineffective braking and should be tested at a professional service center.

How many days does it usually take to check for running a red light?

After running a red light, it usually takes about 3 to 7 days to check, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture notifications," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But the notification does not mean a traffic violation; it only serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it is a violation still takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, car owners generally do not receive an immediate violation SMS; there is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by the relevant staff of the traffic police department. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the car owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. Only then will the car owner receive the corresponding violation SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the car owner must settle all previous violations within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. If a car owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 15 days, it is generally safe to assume that no violation was recorded. Traffic violation query methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online or terminal methods. Car violation queries can be done via car violation websites, phone calls, SMS, mobile apps, or offline terminals. Website query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone query: You can call local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 to confirm traffic violations. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle license plate was issued. For on-site violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be processed at the violation location. SMS query: Open your phone's SMS interface; enter "WZ [license plate number] [plate color]" in the message content; enter "1062650001" as the recipient and click send. Mobile app query: Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app, select "Violation Query," and find any unprocessed violations to clear them. Offline terminal query: You can visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter your license plate number and check recent violation records.

What is the Difference Between Dual-Clutch and Continuously Variable Transmission?

The differences between dual-clutch and continuously variable transmission are as follows: 1. Different working principles: The continuously variable transmission consists of two pairs of variable-diameter pulleys and a steel belt. The purpose of shifting is achieved by changing the diameter of the pulleys. The dual-clutch transmission consists of two sets of manual transmissions. When shifting gears, only the initially engaged clutch needs to be disengaged. 2. Different driving smoothness: The dual-clutch transmission system is a combination of two sets of gears, with fast shifting speed and minimal power loss during power transmission, but it suffers from severe jerking at low speeds. The transmission mechanism of the continuously variable transmission consists of two cone pulleys and a steel belt, with no shifting process in the automatic transmission, resulting in minimal shifting sensation. The power output of the continuously variable transmission is linear, providing a smoother driving experience. 3. Different vehicle adaptations: Dual-clutch transmissions are mainly divided into dry and wet types, primarily used in the European automotive market. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) has gradually developed with the promotion of Japanese cars and some independent brands, making it suitable for use in small-displacement and lighter-weight vehicle models.
