The reasons for the clicking noise when braking are: 1. When the brake disc rubs, it produces some metal powder, which can cause unusual noises when braking. This type of noise from the brake pads is a normal phenomenon; 2. The unusual noise indicates that the brake pads have worn to their limit, causing the brake warning shim to rub against the brake disc, resulting in a metal-on-metal sound. Solutions for the clicking noise when braking: 1. Press the brakes hard several times or perform emergency braking in an open area to improve the situation; 2. It is necessary to replace the car's brake pads promptly to prevent any potential hazards.

How to congratulate my son on getting his beloved car?

Congratulations on my son getting his beloved car. The blessing is to wish my son a smooth journey in both driving and life, with a bright future ahead. Here is some relevant information about the new car: The manufacturing date of the new car: The manufacturing date is equivalent to the vehicle's nameplate. It is usually located in the engine compartment or on the B-pillar of the passenger side. You can also check the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the car body. The 10th digit represents the manufacturing year. The first page of the vehicle registration certificate also displays this information. The registration date is shown on the first page of the registration certificate. Additionally, the registration date is indicated in the lower left corner of the vehicle's driving license. The tire wear condition of the new car: Check the tire wear condition: New tires have computer lines like paint on the tread, and there are also tire hairs on the sidewalls. Generally, these will wear off after 50-100 kilometers of driving.

What brand is Nissin caliper?

Nissin caliper is a brand of Nissin. Below is a relevant introduction about calipers: Introduction to calipers: A caliper is a tool for measuring length, divided into non-dial calipers and dial calipers. External calipers are used to measure the outer diameter of a cylinder or the length of an object. Internal calipers are used to measure the inner diameter of a cylindrical hole or the width of a groove. Methods of using calipers: There are two methods for using calipers: the method of taking dimensions with calipers on a steel ruler and the method of measuring with calipers. When taking dimensions with external calipers on a steel ruler, one measuring face of the caliper rests against the end face of the steel ruler, while the other measuring face aligns with the desired dimension marking, and the line connecting the two measuring faces should be parallel to the steel ruler. When using internal calipers, the method of taking dimensions is the same as with external calipers, except that the end face of the steel ruler must rest against an auxiliary plane, and one foot of the internal caliper also rests against this plane.

How New is a Car with 30,000 Kilometers?

A car with 30,000 kilometers is considered 30% new. Here is relevant information about purchasing used cars: Solutions for issues with used cars: According to Chinese used car laws, general used cars do not come with quality guarantees. However, it is required to sign a contract during the transaction, which should clearly describe any existing problems with the used car, such as if the car has been in a major accident or is a repaired vehicle from a significant incident. If the seller conceals the true condition of the vehicle and fails to disclose relevant information in the contract, the buyer can use the contract to resolve issues through market mediation. If the market does not intervene, the buyer can apply for arbitration or seek legal resolution. Commercial insurance can help recover some losses through policy cancellation. Ways to purchase used cars: The best place for a hands-on experience is a used car market. Online used car platforms offer the widest selection of vehicles. Personal sellers usually provide the most favorable prices.

Is it bad luck if tires get punctured frequently?

Tires getting punctured frequently is not necessarily due to bad luck; it could be related to driving habits. Driving too close to the roadside often increases the risk because many foreign objects fall from large vehicles and are then pushed toward the roadside by the movement of these vehicles, especially items like nails, stones, and metal sheets. Below is some relevant information about tires: Main materials: The primary material of tires is rubber, which naturally ages over time or with prolonged storage. This aging causes noticeable changes in the tire's physical properties, such as hardness and wear resistance. Continuing to use aged tires can mildly affect vehicle performance or, in severe cases, lead to tire blowouts. Lifespan: Typically, all-season or economy tires have a lifespan of 3-5 years or around 50,000 kilometers. Under normal conditions, a tire's lifespan from the date of manufacture is sufficient for one year of use. However, for high-performance tires, the lifespan may only be 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If prices drop, purchasing these tires might also be a consideration.

How much can the throttle be pressed in first gear when going uphill?

When going uphill in first gear, it's best to keep the speed around 20 km/h, maintain a steady throttle, and keep the engine speed around 2000 RPM. Here is some relevant information about the car throttle: Function: In gasoline engines, the throttle does not control the fuel injection volume but rather the opening degree of the throttle valve. A smaller opening means less air-fuel mixture enters the cylinder, resulting in lower engine power output, and vice versa. Solution for a heavy throttle: If the throttle feels heavy, you can perform a fuel system cleaning. Alternatively, try accelerating further to see if the engine speed increases but the speed does not. If this happens, it might be due to a damaged sensor in the transmission locking the overdrive gear.

Can ETC still be used after changing to a new license plate?

ETC cannot be used if the vehicle information it is bound to is inconsistent. Different types of vehicles have different highway toll fees. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Rapid Passage Systems," when applying for ETC, the ETC card and OBU device are already bound to the vehicle, and the relevant vehicle information is imported, forming a one-to-one correspondence. If you change to a new vehicle with a new license plate, you need to cancel the original ETC and reapply for the new vehicle. If it's a new vehicle with the old license plate, you can simply update the vehicle information at an offline service center. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system. ETC lanes are set up for vehicles equipped with ETC onboard devices and use electronic tolling. The electronic toll collection system is an automatic toll system for highways or bridges. ETC deduction principles: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through microwave-specific short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with the bank, the system achieves the purpose of vehicles not needing to stop at toll stations to pay bridge or road fees. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by reducing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can improve traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, newer, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also set a clear target in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and increasing the ETC adoption rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks in the future. There will also be exploration into deeper integration between the ETC system and smart transportation development directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, to prevent the ETC device of the front vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, leading to failed deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance can also lead to failed deductions. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass through by paying cash or swiping a card. If the car's windshield is too thick, it may cause poor sensing. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had accidents and had their windshields replaced or for those who have modified their front windshields.
