BMW 5 Series B48 engine spark plug brand is NGK. Spark plug replacement frequency: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at approximately 40,000 kilometers. Performance degradation manifests as cathode erosion, causing changes in ignition gap and reduced stability, so regular replacement is recommended. Ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs need to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. It is advised not to exceed 40,000 kilometers, otherwise ignition efficiency will decrease, leading to reduced engine power. Iridium spark plugs can last 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers before replacement. Main types of spark plugs: Spark plugs, commonly known as ignition plugs, function by releasing the high-voltage pulse electricity delivered by the high-voltage wire (spark plug wire), breaking down the air between the two electrodes to generate an electric spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Main types include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, surface-gap spark plugs, etc.

What are the manifestation types of car faults?

Car faults can manifest in various ways, including abnormal noises, abnormal working performance, and fluid leaks. Below is an introduction to car fault knowledge: 1. Abnormal car noises: As the car's usage time increases, improper operation, maintenance quality, and environmental factors can cause components to wear, break, loosen, age, have poor contact, short circuits, or open circuits. These issues result in noises beyond standard levels, such as knocking sounds, high-speed whistling, part rubbing sounds, or gear grinding noises. Approximately 70% of car faults are indicated through abnormal noises. Therefore, identifying general patterns and characteristics from these most intuitive manifestations can greatly facilitate car fault diagnosis. 2. Abnormal working performance: Abnormal working performance is a relatively common fault phenomenon, such as difficulty starting, automatic stalling, generator failure, difficulty shifting gears, steering failure, or brake failure.

Can the Airbag Warning Light Affect Annual Inspection?

The airbag warning light staying on will cause the vehicle to fail the annual inspection. The airbag system typically consists of sensors, a microprocessor, an electronic control unit, an airbag cover with a support ring, the airbag itself, and the airbag module. The illumination of the airbag warning light may indicate a malfunction in any of these components. Reasons for the airbag warning light to stay on: 1. Loose or disconnected wiring. 2. Faulty airbag sensor. 3. Airbag malfunction. 4. Airbag control module failure. 5. Presence of fault codes. Introduction to airbags: 1. The airbag system mainly comprises airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. 2. Airbags distribute the impact force evenly across the head and chest, preventing fragile passengers from direct collision with the vehicle body, significantly reducing the likelihood of injury.

How to Deal with Car Paint Bubbling?

Car paint bubbling requires repainting to resolve. Here is an introduction to the knowledge about paint bubbling: 1. Causes of bubbling: It may be due to the lack of skill of the repair personnel or the lax construction process during car painting. The conditions and techniques for paint application require high standards. Before painting, it must be done in a dry environment, and the air pipeline connected to the spray gun must remain dry without any water contamination. If water is mixed in, it may cause the paint to bubble. 2. Paint maintenance: Cars should be washed regularly. Relying solely on rain to wash the car is incorrect. The impact of rainwater on the paint surface is cumulative. Initially, there may not be much noticeable effect, but over time, it will accelerate paint damage. The correct approach is to rinse the car after rain and wipe it dry.

What Causes Gear Shifting Noise?

Gear shifting noise in a car can be caused by the following situations: 1. The clutch is not fully depressed. 2. Loose linkage mechanism. 3. Severely worn clutch disc or damaged pressure plate. 4. Incomplete gear engagement. Solutions: 1. Ensure the clutch is fully depressed. 2. Inspect and tighten the linkage mechanism. 3. Replace the damaged clutch disc. 4. Master the correct gear shifting method and ensure full engagement. Additional information: 1. The noise is mainly caused by friction between the brake pads and brake discs, which is common in most vehicles. 2. The noise is highly related to the material of the brake pads.

What are the consequences of shifting into reverse while driving?

Shifting into reverse while driving is not allowed. Both manual and automatic transmission vehicles are equipped with a dedicated reverse gear locking mechanism, making it generally impossible to engage reverse while moving forward. If reverse is forcibly engaged, the only possible outcome is that the vehicle will stall and come to a stop. Additional information about vehicle reverse gears is as follows: 1. All modern vehicles are designed with a reverse gear lock, meaning that engaging reverse requires a special operation or meeting certain vehicle conditions, such as the vehicle being completely stopped for a certain period of time. 2. If reverse is engaged while the vehicle is moving forward, either the vehicle will immediately stall, or if it doesn't stall, it will continue moving forward as if in neutral, due to the complete shearing off of the gear teeth involved in the transmission engagement.

What brand of tires does the Hyundai Tucson use?

Modern Tucson vehicles use the premium series of Bridgestone tires. Here is some information about car tires: 1. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle. They directly contact the road surface and, together with the car suspension, help to cushion the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. 2. Correct tire installation is directly related to the service life of the tires, especially when replacing new tires. Tires of different types and tread patterns should never be mixed arbitrarily, as their actual sizes and load capacities vary.
