First, remove the old rubber strip, then use a utility knife and a flat-head screwdriver to thoroughly scrape off the old sealant inside the waterproof channel. Next, use sandpaper to remove any rust inside, clean the channel thoroughly, and then apply a new layer of sealant (apply to the bottom layer) — avoid using too much. Remember to apply a bit more sealant at the corners of the front and rear windshields. After that, install the new waterproof rubber strip. Allow it to sit for 2 hours before conducting a water leakage test by pouring some water onto the rubber strip to check for any leaks inside the vehicle.

What is the difference between water and antifreeze?

The differences between water and antifreeze are: 1. Different freezing points: The freezing point of water is 32 degrees; the freezing point of antifreeze is -40 degrees. 2. Different boiling points: The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius; the boiling point of antifreeze is 108 degrees Celsius. 3. Different functions: Water can cause rust in the engine's water passages and lead to scale buildup; antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator when parking in cold winter. Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems, with excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, preventing boiling in summer, and preventing scale and corrosion all year round. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. When the temperature reaches 100 degrees Celsius, water evaporates into steam and cannot serve as a coolant.

What are the causes of transmission failure?

The causes of transmission failure include: 1. Excessive transmission oil temperature, leading to stubborn dirt and impurities forming blockages, causing solenoid valves to operate poorly and fail to regulate oil pressure; 2. Wear or severe wear of internal transmission components, or damage to gear side surfaces; 3. Hardening and aging of transmission rubber sealing materials, resulting in leaks and reduced hydraulic pressure. The functions of a transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio and expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels; 2. To enable the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotation direction; 3. To use neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitate gear shifting or power output.

Can front fog lights be installed on a car?

Front fog lights cannot be installed on a car. From a legal perspective, private vehicle modifications are not allowed. If you want to modify fog lights, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop or a certified modification shop with a warranty, and choose original fog lights that match the vehicle model. During installation, pay attention to circuit safety issues such as switches, relays, fuse strips, and aftermarket lighting. Fog lights are yellow with a longer wavelength, which allows them to illuminate over a greater distance, providing better visibility in adverse weather conditions. The benefit of fog lights is this. Whether or not to install them is up to the owner. When purchasing a car, it is advisable to buy one with LED lights, which can not only directly replace fog lights but also indirectly enhance the car's grade.

Do Front and Rear Brake Pads Need to Be Replaced Together?

Front and rear brake pads do not need to be replaced together as they have different replacement cycles. Compared to front brake pads, rear brake pads generally have a longer service life. Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads typically need replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads can last about 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers before requiring replacement. The replacement interval for brake pads is not only directly related to their service life but also depends on the vehicle's driving conditions and individual driving habits. New brake pads are approximately 1.5 cm thick, and when they wear down to only one-third of their original thickness (about 5 mm), they should be replaced promptly. When replacing brake pads, both pads on the same axle must be changed simultaneously to ensure balanced braking performance on both sides.

What brand is Terramax tires?

Terramax is a Sailun tire. Here are some tire maintenance tips: 1. Car tire inspection: During daily driving, it's necessary to check the car tires, especially the tire pressure and wear level. Insufficient tire maintenance poses significant safety risks. When tire wear reaches the indicator mark, immediate replacement is required to avoid risks like skidding during driving. 2. Tire pressure: Tire pressure should be maintained between 200kPa-280kPa. It's best to set the pressure according to the manufacturer's standard. If the vehicle will be parked for an extended period, adjust the pressure to 300kPa.
