The solutions for a car's steering gear leaking oil are: 1. For bolt hole leaks, add fiber thread or a gasket at the bolt root for sealing; 2. For bottom cover leaks, re-machine the plane and hole or fit a conduit; 3. For gasket seepage, replace the gasket with an impregnated gasket paperboard; 4. For oil seal leaks, replace with a new oil seal, bearing, and polish the shaft diameter. The steering gear assists the driver in applying force when turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required during steering, making driving easier and more convenient for the driver. Types of steering gears: 1. Electric power steering; 2. Rack and pinion hydraulic power steering; 3. Electro-hydraulic power steering.

What Causes a Car to Start and Then Stall?

Here are the reasons why a car may start and then stall: 1. An installed anti-theft system has not been deactivated. Simply deactivate it. 2. The throttle body is too dirty or there is excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold. You can use a computer to check the throttle opening and then clean the throttle body or intake manifold as needed. 3. The ignition system, especially the ignition coil, may be faulty. 4. Insufficient fuel in the tank, leading to low fuel pump pressure. 5. One or more clogged fuel injectors. 6. Leaking ignition wires. 7. The throttle body is too dirty or there is excessive carbon buildup in the intake manifold. 8. Engine malfunction.

Where is the tire pressure button on the Baojun 510?

The tire pressure reset button for the Baojun 510 is located below the cigarette lighter. The tire pressure reset is an operation to reset the tire pressure monitoring system after resolving a tire pressure fault. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no visible damage is detected, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If a puncture is found upon inspection, drive to a tire repair shop promptly to fix the puncture, then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary.

Can I still check my driving test scores after obtaining the driver's license?

You can check your scores after obtaining the driver's license. However, you cannot check them online as the records are kept by the vehicle management office, which contains the score reports for each subject. If you need to check, you must visit the vehicle management office. Below are some relevant details: 1. Clearing information: After the vehicle management office verifies the validity of the test scores, the information is usually entered on the same day (within 2 working days). As for the appointment query platform, it may take 1 to 2 more working days to update. Additionally, once the applicant passes all tests and obtains the driver's license, the appointment query platform will clear the related learning scores. 2. Notes: Some students may have passed through retakes, but the online platform may still show they haven't passed. This is because subject scores are uploaded in batches, and system updates or delays are normal. Generally, the on-site test scores are considered accurate, and some scores may take until the next day or even longer to update. If you have any doubts, you can report them to the driving school or the vehicle management office.

Are Vehicles Exempt from Inspection Still Exempt After Being Involved in a Traffic Accident?

Vehicles exempt from inspection involved in a traffic accident are no longer eligible for the six-year exemption and must undergo inspection every two years. Below are detailed explanations regarding inspection exemptions: 1. Six-Year Exemption Policy: Non-commercial large, small, and mini passenger cars, as well as non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles registered within six years, are eligible for the six-year exemption policy. Starting from November 20, 2020, non-commercial mini and small passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats are also included in the exemption scope. 2. Conditions Not Eligible for Exemption: Vehicles that have not been registered for over four years since the date of manufacture. Vehicles involved in accidents causing casualties. Vehicles with outstanding traffic violations or unresolved traffic accidents are not eligible for the six-year exemption policy.

Is It Safe to Sleep in a Car with the Engine Running?

It is not safe to sleep in a car with the engine running. Sleeping in a car after turning off the engine is also not advisable. If you must sleep in a car, ensure the windows are open, the surrounding air is fresh, the temperature inside is not too high, and the car is parked in a safe location. Below are the dangers of sleeping in a car: Over time, the concentration of carbon monoxide inside the car will increase. With the doors and windows closed, the environment becomes oxygen-deprived, leading to worsening carbon monoxide poisoning in the body. In a short period, a person may experience dizziness and headaches, followed by temporary loss of consciousness in more severe cases, and even coma or death.

What is the normal tire pressure range for the Baojun 510?

The normal tire pressure range for the Baojun 510 is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The Baojun 510 is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring function, which is automatically enabled by default. To view the specific tire pressure values, press the SET button on the instrument panel to check the tire pressure monitoring details. The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device that can alert the driver in time when there are signs of danger in the tires, prompting them to take appropriate measures, thereby preventing serious accidents. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening its lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; causes excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal overheating due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), it is generally due to one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, the tire pressure was not reset in time, causing the system to record outdated data and trigger the indicator light. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it will also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.
