The reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel to the right but not to the left are as follows: 1. Issues with the power steering fluid: If the fluid level in the reservoir is too low, air can enter the hydraulic system, forming air resistance in the oil pipes, which can cause mechanical wear between steering components and produce abnormal noise; 2. Power steering pump failure: When the power steering pump makes abnormal noises, it indicates that the pump is damaged and needs to be replaced. Additionally, check if the drive belt of the power steering pump is slipping. If it is slipping, identify the cause and replace or adjust the belt tension; 3. Damaged top bearing of the shock absorber: If there is abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel, check the dust cover of the front shock absorber and apply grease to the top of the shock absorber. If the noise persists after applying lubricant, the top bearing of the shock absorber may be damaged and needs to be replaced.

What are the signs that transmission fluid needs to be replaced?

Signs that transmission fluid needs replacement: The transmission may exhibit some jerking during gear shifts. For manual transmissions, difficulty in engaging gears or a rough shifting feel indicates that the transmission fluid requires changing. Transmission fluid is crucial for the transmission system. In automatic transmissions, it serves to lubricate, cool, and transmit power. The control mechanisms of automatic transmissions also rely on transmission fluid to function properly. Transmission fluid helps keep the transmission system clean, ensures normal operation, and extends the lifespan of the vehicle's transmission components. Depending on the transmission type, transmission fluid can be categorized into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid.

Is it necessary to clean the fuel injectors? How often should they be cleaned?

Fuel injectors generally need to be cleaned every 2 years or every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers, depending on the quality of gasoline in the region where the vehicle is used. Cleaning the engine fuel injectors is essential. Dirty fuel injectors can lead to increased fuel consumption, insufficient power, idle shaking, and a series of other faults. The clogging issues of fuel injectors mainly occur in three areas, as described below: 1. Clogging of the inlet filter screen. Impurities or gum deposits in gasoline adhere to the filter screen, weakening the fuel flow capacity and, in severe cases, affecting the injector's flow rate. 2. The sealing surface at the injection hole of multi-point injection fuel injectors. If gum deposits adhere here, it can cause poor sealing, leading to injector leakage. 3. Blockage of the injection holes. Fuel injectors typically have multiple injection holes. Although these holes are not metering orifices, they affect atomization. If multiple holes are blocked, it can also impact the fuel injection volume.

Which Regal Model Uses an Aisin Transmission?

Buick Regal models with a 2.4T displacement all utilize Aisin transmissions. The Buick Regal's 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission originates from the German ZF transmission factory, while the models 6T45E and 6T45 are sourced from Japan's Aisin transmission factory. These two transmissions differ in origin and technology. Below is relevant information about transmissions: 1. A transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine. It can fix or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts, also known as a gearbox. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also featuring a power output mechanism. Most transmission mechanisms use ordinary gear drives, while some employ planetary gear systems. Ordinary gear transmission mechanisms typically use sliding gears and synchronizers. 2. Step-type transmissions are the most widely used. They employ gear drives with several fixed gear ratios. Depending on the gear train type, there are fixed-axis transmissions and rotating-axis transmissions. Passenger cars and light to medium-duty trucks usually have 3-5 forward gears and one reverse gear, while heavy-duty trucks with combined transmissions may have more gears. The number of transmission gears refers specifically to the number of forward gears.

What does 'evans' at the back of a car mean?

Evans at the back of a car indicates that the vehicle uses Evans waterless coolant. Cars equipped with Evans waterless coolant typically have an 'evans' sticker on the rear. This coolant retains heat longer than conventional coolants after the engine is turned off and has a higher boiling point. Additionally, this antifreeze has zero corrosiveness, causing no harm to the engine block while extending the engine's lifespan. Coolant is a type of antifreeze that prevents the coolant from freezing in cold weather, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinders. Antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round. Under normal maintenance conditions, the antifreeze in a car should be replaced annually.
