After running 20,000 kilometers, the car requires primary maintenance operations, mainly based on the car's maintenance manual. Basic items generally focus on inspection and tightening, with repairs carried out as needed. Common items include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air conditioning filter, fuel filter, cleaning the air conditioning filter, and some routine inspections. Below are five key points for engine maintenance: 1. Use the appropriate grade of engine oil and change the oil and filter regularly; 2. Frequently maintain the air filter and replace it periodically; 3. Regularly clean the fuel system and replace the fuel filter; 4. Maintain the radiator cooling net periodically; 5. Replace the spark plugs at regular intervals.

What are the functions of the clutch?

The functions of the clutch are: 1. Ensure smooth starting of the vehicle; 2. During vehicle operation, when using different transmission gears to adapt to constantly changing driving conditions, the clutch can temporarily separate the engine from the transmission, preventing the meshed force-transmitting gears in the transmission from being difficult to disengage due to unrelieved load and high pressure between the meshing tooth surfaces. The clutch is a device that transmits the vehicle engine power to the axle in an on-off manner, installed between the engine and the transmission, and is the assembly component in the vehicle drivetrain that directly connects with the engine. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, and the clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws.

Low-speed brake squeaking can be caused by: 1. Excessive wear of the brake disc and brake pads; 2. Improper installation of the brake pads; 3. Foreign objects on the brake pads or brake disc; 4. Poor caliper reset leading to prolonged friction between the disc and pads. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, or other transportation tools and machinery. Solutions for low-speed brake squeaking include: 1. Applying butter or specialized lubricant to the connection between the brake pads and the brake caliper; 2.

Does the Peugeot 5008 Have Independent Suspension?

The front suspension of the Peugeot 5008 is an independent suspension, while the rear suspension is not. The Peugeot 5008 is a mid-sized SUV under the Peugeot brand. This vehicle features a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. The suspension connects the car body to the wheels, and without it, the car cannot operate normally. The structure and tuning of the suspension significantly impact the car's handling and comfort. The MacPherson suspension is the most common type of independent suspension. It has a relatively simple structure and a compact size, occupying minimal space. The MacPherson suspension consists of only an L-shaped control arm, which does not take up engine compartment space. Therefore, most front-transverse engine cars use the MacPherson suspension. The torsion beam suspension is a simple-structured non-independent suspension. It also occupies less space. Using a torsion beam suspension at the rear can expand the rear seating space and trunk space, which is particularly important for family-oriented SUV models.
