Solutions for abnormal noise from the car engine belt: 1. Check the driven accessories of the belt, such as damaged bearings, jamming, looseness, or increased accessory power consumption; 2. Replace the belt or use 100-grit sandpaper to polish the contact surface between the belt pulley and the belt; 3. Apply 1 to 2 drops of engine oil on the contact surface between the belt and the pulley. If the abnormal noise occurs in a relatively new car, it may be due to poor factory installation quality. If the noise occurs in an older car, consider whether some related components of the auxiliary drive system need complete replacement. The car engine belt is an important part of the engine's valve timing system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific transmission ratio.

Why is reversing at intersections prohibited?

Because intersections have the highest traffic flow and the situation is very complex, reversing can easily cause congestion or accidents. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Introduction: An intersection refers to a level crossing, which is the part where two or more roads intersect at the same level. 2. Precautions: The traffic situation at intersections is complex. To ensure smooth traffic flow, traffic regulations specify different passage rules for various intersections. At intersections without directional arrow markings, traffic lights, or incomplete traffic lights (without arrow light indicators), the following rules should be followed. Note that in the intersection passage rules, right-turning vehicles must yield to oncoming left-turning vehicles.

Does Engine Overheating Require a Major Overhaul?

Engine overheating does not require a major overhaul. Below is an introduction to overheating: Introduction: Car overheating typically refers to the engine's operating temperature exceeding the normal working temperature range. Causes: There are many reasons for car overheating, including not only hot weather but also overloaded air conditioning operation and faulty cooling components. Conducting a comprehensive inspection of the car's cooling system is the primary method to prevent overheating. Check if the cooling fan is working properly, if the radiator is leaking, and if there is a lack of coolant. If the radiator is leaking, it needs to be repaired or replaced promptly. If the coolant level is low, it should be replenished in time. If the coolant appears cloudy or deteriorated, it needs to be replaced.

What Are the Differences Between Aftermarket and Factory-Installed Power Closing Doors?

Aftermarket and factory-installed power closing doors differ mainly in price. Below is an introduction to power closing doors: Introduction: Power closing doors are a common comfort and safety feature found in luxury vehicles. When a door is not properly closed, it will automatically pull shut until fully sealed. An electromagnetic coil is installed on the door frame (or door edge), which generates a magnetic field when current passes through it as the door is opened. Due to this magnetic force, when the door is close enough to the frame, it will be automatically pulled shut. Function: This feature eliminates the need for excessive force when closing the door, enhancing comfort and making the closing action more elegant. It also reduces the risk associated with doors not being fully closed, providing peace of mind.
