What should be noted when replacing VVT tires?
2 Answers
When replacing VVT tires, it is important to replace the timing belt and ensure that the timing belt is installed in a clockwise direction. Below is relevant information about the VVT wheel: VVT wheel replacement method: Use compressed air to unlock the locking pin. Rotate the timing gear to the most advanced side. Clamp the camshaft on a bench vise with an aluminum plate, then remove the flange bolts to disassemble the timing gear. VVT engine, short for Variable-Valve-Timing, is a car engine that uses the VVT system. Its advantages include fuel efficiency and a high power-to-displacement ratio; the disadvantage is insufficient torque at mid-range speeds. VVT wheel fault repair: When performing fault repairs on the VVT wheel, certain principles must be followed. First, check whether the timing is correct. However, since VVT technology is developed based on basic timing, the basic timing usually does not have issues. Then, check whether the engine oil circuit has faults that prevent the VVT from functioning properly.
I've been driving for over twenty years and have plenty of experience changing tires. The most important thing is safety—first, find a level spot to park, engage the handbrake, and put the car in gear to secure it and prevent rolling accidents. When using the jack to lift the car, make sure it's positioned correctly on the chassis support points to avoid damaging components. After removing the old tire and installing the new one, ensure the nuts are tightened evenly to prevent loosening, which can be dangerous at high speeds. Don’t skip tire balancing and wheel alignment, or you’ll experience vibrations or steering drift while driving. Adjust the tire pressure to the manual’s recommended value—don’t overinflate to avoid blowouts or underinflate to save fuel. After the change, take a test drive to check for unusual noises. Safety always comes first—nothing matters more.
