The solutions for damaged wheel lock bolts are as follows: 1. Apply some WD-40 lubricant to the bolt, then gently tap it with a small hammer (using a cloth as padding), and try to unscrew it after tapping. 2. Use an impact wrench. 3. Use a welding method: while protecting the wheel rim, weld a long metal object to the bolt, then use a wrench to turn the metal object and rotate the bolt. 4. Use a plasma cutter (only reacts with iron) to slowly melt the bolt with high temperature. Although the aluminum wheel rim won't be affected, the paint might get damaged. Introduction to wheel lock bolts: 1. Anti-theft function. Wheel lock bolts are commonly used in outdoor products because outdoor environments often present management challenges, and using these bolts significantly reduces unnecessary losses. 2. Convenient to use. They can be installed using a specialized wrench without requiring any particularly complex tools. Manufacturers usually provide customers with the necessary specialized tools, so there's no need to worry about installation issues.

What does OBD mean on a diesel vehicle?

OBD on a diesel vehicle stands for "On-Board Diagnostics." OBD is the abbreviation for On-Board-Diagnostics. The main function of this system is to monitor the engine while driving. Once the exhaust emissions exceed the standard (i.e., 1.5 times the emission standard for new vehicles), the malfunction indicator light will be illuminated, and a fault code will be stored. Relevant information about OBD is as follows: 1. The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate trap, oxygen sensor, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc. 2. OBD connects various emission-related component information to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which has the capability to detect and analyze faults related to emissions.

Can a car battery be charged if the car is started but not moving?

It is possible to charge a car battery when the car is started but not moving, although the charging effect is not optimal, and it takes a long time to fully charge the battery. The prerequisite for charging is to ensure that all electrical appliances in the car (except for the engine running) are turned off. The car battery can be charged while idling, but to some extent, it will consume the car's fuel, and prolonged idling may also lead to carbon buildup in the engine. The following are precautions for charging a car battery: 1. First, as long as the generator is working, it can charge the battery, and the power source of the generator comes from the engine. 2. After the car is started, the engine begins to work, and the engine transmits power to the generator through the belt, thus starting to charge the battery.
