The method for removing the lock cylinder of the Lavida is as follows: 1. Remove the trim panel; 2. Disconnect the wiring harness connector and the motor, then unplug the motor's wiring harness connector; 3. The removal is complete. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, a wheelbase of 2688mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The 2021 Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113ps, a maximum power of 83kw, and a maximum torque of 145nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I have some experience with removing the Lavida's door locks. First, you need to prepare tools such as a Phillips screwdriver, socket wrench, and plastic pry bar to avoid scratching the door. Open the engine hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety to prevent short circuits. Next, open the door and start with the window switch panel, carefully prying off the door trim panel with some force but avoiding sudden pulls. Locate the two screws securing the lock mechanism, usually on the inner side, and loosen them with the screwdriver before gently pulling out the lock body. Pay attention to the wiring harness connector—press the clip before unplugging to avoid damage. Throughout the process, I recommend taking photos with your phone to document the original positions for easier reassembly. The Lavida's lock design is quite compact; if you encounter rust or damage, avoid forcing it apart, as you may need to replace the entire component. After removal, check for sticking or dirty contacts, clean or lubricate them, and then consider reassembly. DIY can save money, but if you're unfamiliar with electrical circuits, it's better to visit a professional shop, as door structures are complex and improper handling could affect closing safety. Regular maintenance of the lock can prevent such issues.

Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for Emgrand GL?

The windshield washer fluid reservoir for the Geely Emgrand GL is located on the left side of the engine, with a blue plastic cap that features a snap-on mechanism. Before opening the snap-on cap, clean any dust on it. After opening the cap, fill it with diluted windshield washer fluid until the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Notes for adding windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Due to the relatively dry climate in autumn and winter, there tends to be more dust in the air. Before driving in these seasons, use a damp cloth to wipe dust off the windshield. If dust accumulates again while driving, use the car's windshield washer fluid and wipers. 2. Consistently use the same brand of windshield washer fluid to ensure the physical properties of the added fluid remain consistent. 3. In winter, consider using antifreeze windshield washer fluid. If the local temperature drops below 0°C, choose a higher-grade antifreeze fluid. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir, as the fluid may expand when heated and damage the container.

How to Determine if a Wheel Hub is Out of Round?

Methods to determine if a wheel hub is out of round: 1. The direct impact and sensation of an out-of-round wheel hub on driving experience is that the vehicle's direction will deviate, and the body as well as the steering wheel will vibrate severely, with the vibration increasing as the speed rises; 2. An out-of-round wheel hub can also cause significant impact on the chassis suspension, and in severe cases, it may lead to deformation or even fracture of the suspension control arms. Currently, most car wheel hubs are made of aluminum alloy, making it extremely difficult to repair once they become out of round. Even after repair, the wheel hub cannot return to its original factory condition. Therefore, it is recommended to seek specialized wheel hub repair. However, from a safety perspective, it is generally advised to replace the wheel hub directly if it becomes out of round.
