I've driven quite a few cars and fixed some common issues. The rear seat vibration in the Song Plus DMi is quite annoying, mainly caused by suspension system or tire problems. Tire imbalance is the most common issue, often due to unbalanced tires at high speeds or uneven wear; suspension components like aging shock absorbers or loose ball joints can transmit vibrations to the rear seats; loose engine mounts can also cause shaking; problems with the driveshaft can make the rear seats wobble during turns and acceleration; and worn wheel hub bearings, when severely worn, affect stability. I recently encountered a similar issue and went straight to the 4S shop for inspection. The technician used instruments to check tire balance and suspension connections. Regular maintenance is key—check the wheels every 5,000 km, and inspect the suspension during oil changes to prevent worsening vibrations, which can affect ride comfort and even lead to breakdowns. If you're not sure how to fix it yourself, it's best to consult a professional to avoid costly repairs.

I went out with my friends in my Song Plus DMi, and the back seat always felt bouncy up and down, which was really annoying. On the highway, my friend in the back said his butt was getting numb from the bumps. Possible causes could be uneven tire pressure or misaligned wheels, incorrect four-wheel alignment; loose suspension springs or leaking shock absorbers, transmitting vibrations to the rear seats; issues with the drive shafts, making a clunking noise during acceleration; engine mount bolts not tightened properly, allowing vibrations to enter the cabin directly; the shaking is more noticeable on long trips over bumpy roads. It's recommended to first check if the tire pressure is normal—a big difference between front and rear tires can cause shaking. Take a quick look at the suspension for any signs of rust or oil leaks, but don't disassemble anything randomly to avoid damage. If the shaking is frequent, take it to a repair shop immediately—they can use machines to inspect the wheels and drivetrain. After fixing my car, the back seat became much more comfortable. Regular maintenance of tires and the chassis can save you trouble and money. Always perform a safety check before long drives to avoid regrets later.

The issue of rear seat vibration in the Song Plus DMi is not uncommon. Common causes include tire problems such as imbalance or bulging; suspension system component failures like shock absorber malfunctions; loose engine mounts transmitting vibrations; transmission issues; and wheel bearing wear causing abnormal noises and vibrations. This affects safety, as high-speed vibrations may lead to loss of vehicle control or motion sickness for rear passengers, and should be addressed promptly. It is recommended to first check tire pressure and balance; inspect suspension component connections; and test the drivetrain system.

To what extent must a vehicle be submerged to be considered totaled?

If a vehicle is submerged up to the engine hood, it is sufficient to be considered totaled. Even if not totaled, the repair cost could reach 80% of the vehicle's value. Insurance companies will cover the claim for a water-damaged vehicle if the owner has commercial vehicle damage insurance. Another scenario is when the repair cost exceeds the insured value of the vehicle. Water-damaged vehicles are categorized into six levels, with Level 3 being particularly severe. For sedans, which have relatively low ground clearance, the water level may reach the seat cushions inside the vehicle, and the center console may be completely submerged. Classification of water-damaged vehicles: Level 1: Water reaches the vehicle's chassis. Level 2: Water rises to half the height of the wheels, and the interior begins to take in water. Level 3: Water submerges the tires, and both the seat cushions and center console inside the vehicle are flooded. Level 4: Water enters the engine intake pipe, and the dashboard is about to be submerged. Level 5: The entire engine compartment is submerged. Level 6: The entire vehicle is completely underwater. How to handle a submerged vehicle: If the vehicle has not stalled, turn off the engine immediately. Disconnect the battery by removing the negative terminal. Take photos of the submerged vehicle for insurance claims. Contact the insurance company and arrange for a tow truck for rescue.

Who is responsible for an accident during the third driving test?

Before determining liability for an accident during the third driving test, it is essential to distinguish between different scenarios. The details are as follows: 1. First scenario: If the student and the instructor are driving normally and the vehicle itself is not out of control, then if the other driver violates traffic rules, the other party will bear full responsibility. However, if the injured party is a pedestrian, even if they were walking in violation of traffic rules, the student and the driving school will still bear 10% of the responsibility. For the student, this 10% responsibility can be exempted, but the driving school cannot be exempted. 2. Second scenario: If the accident is caused by operational errors by the student and the instructor, then the student and the instructor are responsible. The student can file a lawsuit with the local traffic authorities, pointing out that the accident was caused by the driving school and the instructor. At the same time, road safety laws also have relevant provisions: if there is an instructor or safety officer in the co-pilot seat, even if a traffic accident occurs, the student does not have to bear responsibility, and the instructor or safety officer will be responsible. 3. Third scenario: When accountability is stricter, monitoring personnel will also bear some responsibility. However, no matter what kind of traffic accident occurs, the instructor and safety officer cannot be exempted from responsibility, while the student does not have to bear responsibility.

How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does a 1.5L Engine Require?

This type of engine requires 3.5 to 4.5 liters of engine oil. Engine oil is something every car owner will encounter during vehicle usage. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the engine, as an engine cannot operate properly without it. Here are some additional details: 1. Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil serves not only as a lubricant but also performs cleaning, sealing, cushioning, rust prevention, and heat dissipation functions within the engine. During operation, it forms a protective oil film on the surfaces of various engine components, preventing direct contact and friction between parts. Without this oil film, direct metal-to-metal contact would accelerate engine wear and generate excessive heat instantly, which can cause severe damage to the engine. Over time, engine oil loses its effectiveness, so regular oil changes are necessary. It is recommended to change the engine oil at scheduled intervals during routine vehicle maintenance. 2. Oil Filter: The oil filter should be replaced every time the engine oil is changed. The oil filter is responsible for filtering impurities from the oil. Without it, the oil would become heavily contaminated after some use, negatively affecting engine lubrication and cooling. Always adhere to scheduled maintenance for your vehicle, using genuine parts and fluids. Regular maintenance can significantly extend your car's service life.

Is There a Warranty When Buying a Car from an Auto Trading Company?

Buying a car from an auto trading company does come with a warranty. The warranty provided when purchasing a car from an auto trading company is the same as that from a 4S store, and the vehicle is covered by a nationwide warranty. However, auto trading companies may not necessarily allow registration under an individual's name, so it's best to choose an auto trading company that permits individual registration. Below are the relevant concepts in after-sales service: 1. Warranty: The product quality must meet standards and be guaranteed. In fact, a warranty is a quality assurance for the product, which is a basic attribute any product should have. It should not be misunderstood as providing lifetime maintenance. 2. Maintenance Service: This only provides after-sales maintenance service guarantees, which can be either free or paid. Damage caused by human factors or not covered under the manufacturer's standard service policy requires payment, while those within the standard service policy are free. 3. Free Repair: This term originates from the national "Three Guarantees" policy, referring to completely free repair services provided by the manufacturer. However, there are usually detailed warranty descriptions for different components of the product. It can be understood that free maintenance service is equivalent to free repair. 4. Free Return and Replacement: These two also originate from the national "Three Guarantees" policy, referring to the manufacturer's free return and replacement services provided within the specified period if the product has quality issues that meet the return or replacement service terms.

What is the maximum load capacity for a 4.2-meter vehicle to be allowed on highways?

According to current policies of the Ministry of Transport, a 4.2-meter blue-plate truck with a load capacity of less than 18 tons is permitted on highways. It must also comply with the load capacity specified in the vehicle registration certificate. All trucks must undergo weighing before entering highways, and those found to be illegally overloaded or exceeding limits will be prohibited from entering. Additional details regarding overloaded vehicles are as follows: 1. Overload conditions: Illegally overloaded or over-limit vehicles must choose the nearest unloading site to remove excess cargo and rectify the violation, and will be dealt with by local traffic management authorities and transportation law enforcement agencies according to the law. Overloading is not solely determined by the total weight of the vehicle and cargo but also by the external dimensions. The following conditions classify a cargo transport vehicle as overloaded: total height from the ground exceeding 4 meters; total width exceeding 2.55 meters; total length exceeding 18.1 meters. 2. Overload penalties: (1) Carrying cargo exceeding 30% of the approved load capacity or illegally carrying passengers results in a 6-point deduction. (2) Carrying cargo exceeding the approved load capacity but less than 30% results in a 3-point deduction. (3) If the total height from the ground does not exceed 4.2 meters, total width does not exceed 3 meters, and total length does not exceed 20 meters, a fine of up to 200 yuan may be imposed. (4) If the total height from the ground does not exceed 4.5 meters, total width does not exceed 3.75 meters, and total length does not exceed 28 meters, a fine between 200 and 1,000 yuan may be imposed.

How to correctly align piston rings?

Adjacent piston ring gaps must be installed 180 degrees apart. This installation method is more effective in preventing gap overlap compared to arranging them at 120 degrees. The following are reasons for engine oil burning: 1. Poor sealing: Early wear of cylinder liners and piston rings increases the clearance between cylinders and pistons as well as the gap of piston rings, resulting in poor sealing. 2. Low-quality piston rings: Most piston rings on the market are made as rectangular rings, which have poor oil scraping performance and are one of the main factors causing engine oil leakage. 3. Gap overlap: When piston ring gaps are too close or overlap, especially if oil ring gaps overlap, it causes oil to leak and overflow.
