Electric vehicle brake oil cannot be used as a substitute. Brake oil is a type of brake fluid that requires a high boiling point, such as 200 degrees Celsius. Water cannot reach such a high boiling point. A boiling point that is too low can lead to vapor lock. In cold weather, the freezing point should be low, ensuring good fluidity at low temperatures. This is also understandable. If all the properties are fixed, it cannot serve the function of fluid transmission. Below are the specific effects of not replacing brake oil for a long time: Corrosion of the braking system: Brake oil itself is hygroscopic and prone to absorbing water. If not replaced for a long time, the brake oil can corrode the braking system, posing significant safety hazards. Formation of brake vapor lock: After absorbing water, the boiling point of brake oil decreases, which can easily lead to insufficient brake pressure and affect braking performance. When the temperature rises to the boiling point, the water inside the brake oil will boil and produce a large number of bubbles. Clogging of the brake system: If brake oil is not replaced for a long time, deposits and impurities in the brake lines can cause brake system malfunctions, affecting braking performance.

What to Do If the Car Door Closing Sound Is Too Loud?

If the car door closing sound is too loud, focus on checking these three areas: sealing strips, buffer devices, and the force used when closing the door: 1. Check whether the sealing strips inside the door have aged. The strips are made of rubber, and aging or hardening can affect the door's sealing performance. Solution: Replace the old strips with new ones. 2. Inspect the door closing buffer device to see if the spring height is too low. Solution: Generally, choose a spring of about 8mm or upgrade to an electric door closer. 3. Observe whether excessive force is used when closing the door. Solution: Reduce the force to ensure the door closes securely.

Where to Place Ginger During Subject 2 Driving Test?

Carry ginger in your pocket during the Subject 2 driving test: 1. There are two reasons for bringing ginger. The first is to alleviate motion sickness. Often, the training ground for Subject 2 and the test site are quite far apart, and some students may experience motion sickness during the journey. In such cases, holding a slice of ginger in the mouth can help ease the motion sickness. As for the other reason, it's more about the symbolic meaning for the examinees. Bringing ginger during the Subject 2 test signifies 'passing with ginger,' implying that they will manage to pass the test. Besides carrying ginger, some examinees also wear red or green clothes for better psychological comfort, symbolizing a good start or smooth sailing throughout the driving test.

What is the principle of the three-wire thermal switch in the Jetta radiator?

The three wires consist of one power supply, one ground, and one signal wire. Below is a detailed introduction to the car radiator (professionally known as the radiator): 1. Main components: The radiator is part of the car's cooling system. The radiator in the engine water cooling system is composed of three parts: the inlet chamber, the outlet chamber, the main plate, and the radiator core. 2. Main function: When the engine's water temperature is high, the water pump circulates water repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature (the radiator is made up of hollow copper tubes. Hot water enters the radiator, is cooled by air, and then circulates back to the engine cylinder walls), thereby protecting the engine. In winter, if the water temperature is too low, the water circulation stops to prevent the engine temperature from becoming too low.
