The causes and solutions for car shaking after starting in water are as follows: 1. Air filter not cleaned: The air filter is designed to protect the engine and reduce wear. It is usually replaced around 10,000 kilometers. If not replaced in time, insufficient air intake can cause low idle speed, leading to engine shaking. Simply replacing the filter can solve the problem. 2. High-voltage line open circuit: A high-voltage line open circuit refers to the breakage of the wire core in the high-voltage line, which can affect ignition and cause engine shaking. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance and replace the one with significantly higher resistance. Spark plugs with over 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers of use show significantly reduced ignition efficiency and can affect ignition. The most common solution is to replace all spark plugs. 3. Clogged fuel injectors: Impurities in gasoline can clog the injector nozzles, causing inconsistent fuel injection among injectors and uneven cylinder operation, leading to engine shaking. The solution is to remove and clean them. 4. Carbon deposits and oil sludge blockage: Over time, carbon deposits and oil sludge can clog the throttle valve, idle valve, and intake ports, causing poor air intake and unstable idle speed, resulting in shaking. Inspect and clean these parts with a cleaning agent without disassembly.

Which models are compatible with 2.75-14 tires?

2.75-14 tires can be used interchangeably with motorcycle tires of model 3.00-10. Tire classification: Tires can be roughly divided into 8 types according to vehicle classification. Namely: PC - passenger car tires; LT - light truck tires; TB - truck and bus tires; AG - agricultural vehicle tires; OTR - engineering vehicle tires; ID - industrial vehicle tires; AC - aircraft tires; MC - motorcycle tires. Tire specifications: Most tire specifications are marked in forms like: 215/70R15. The meanings of these numbers are: 215 indicates the tire section width in mm, generally ranging between 145-285mm with intervals of 10mm; 70 is the aspect ratio, representing the ratio of tire sidewall height to tire section width, where 70 means 70%, generally ranging between 30%-80%.

What does 3st mean?

Michelin tire 3st refers to the Primacy 3ST Hao Yue model tire, which is Michelin's latest quiet and comfortable tire. To meet the specific needs of Asian customers, Michelin tire 3st adopts multiple Michelin innovative technologies to improve the tire's comfort, quiet performance, and dry/wet braking performance. The comfort, quietness, and safety performance of the 3ST Hao Yue are superior to the LC Bo Yue. The Primacy 3ST utilizes EvenPeak technology, with unique designs on the tread center and shoulder rib patterns to enhance ride quietness and comfort. In addition to the EvenPeak technology, it also features FlexMax (Flexible Chamfer) technology, which combines "high-flexibility tread compound" and "chamfered block" technologies to maximize the tire's contact area and effectively reduce braking distance on both dry and wet surfaces.

Is it necessary to install mud flaps on an SUV?

It is not necessary to install mud flaps on an SUV. Adding mud flaps can affect the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Every car is designed with aerodynamics in mind, which effectively reduces wind resistance during driving and also aids in heat dissipation. Installing mud flaps can compromise these aerodynamic benefits. The installation method for mud flaps is as follows: 1. Prepare the corresponding model of mud flaps, pliers, screwdriver, matching screws, and nuts in advance. 2. Remove the screws from the corresponding part of the vehicle body before installation. 3. Place the mud flaps in the corresponding position on the vehicle, ensuring the outer edge of the mud flap aligns parallel with the outer edge of the tire. 4. Some models may require drilling holes; the screw holes must be accurately positioned to avoid affecting the installation. 5. Tighten the provided specialized screws to secure the mud flaps.

Where is the Tire Testing Center Located?

The tire testing center is located in Beijing. The National Rubber Tire Quality Supervision and Inspection Center was established in 1987 with national approval, making it one of China's first comprehensive national rubber tire laboratories. It is also a rubber tire mandatory product certification (CCC) inspection agency authorized by the state. Automotive evaluation agencies test various parameters of vehicles without disassembly and diagnose potential faults. For example, they conduct comprehensive vehicle inspections for annual checks, testing performance aspects such as braking, noise, safety, and environmental protection, thereby generating inspection reports that serve as the basis for annual inspections by vehicle management departments. Automotive testing centers include: Beijing Automotive Testing Center, Changchun Automotive Testing Center, Guangdong Automotive Testing Center, Tianjin Automotive Testing Center, Chongqing Automotive Testing Center, Xiangfan Automotive Testing Center, Shanghai Automotive Testing Center, and Nanjing Automotive Testing Center.

What is the tire size of the Elysion?

The tire size of the Elysion is 225/50R18, where 225 indicates the tire width, 50 represents the aspect ratio, R denotes that it is a radial tire, and 18 signifies the wheel rim diameter. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed for various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. Taking the 2019 Elysion as an example, it is an MPV with body dimensions of 4950mm in length, 1842mm in width, and 1711mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2900mm, a minimum ground clearance of 134mm, and a curb weight of 1941kg.

Is It Normal for Rust to Appear on Tire Brake Pads?

Rust on tire brake pads is a normal phenomenon. Most vehicles use cast iron brake discs. Due to the material properties, whenever the external weather is rainy or highly humid, rust may appear on the brake discs if the vehicle has been parked for a certain period or the brakes have not been used for a while. Methods to deal with rust on brake discs: Minor rust: It can be removed through normal braking. The friction between the brake pads and the brake discs will wear off the rust after several brake applications, restoring normal functionality. Severe rust: When the brake discs are severely rusted, normal braking may not be sufficient to remove the rust. The rust on the brake discs can cause uneven surfaces, leading to steering wheel vibrations and unusual noises during braking. In such cases, the brake pads can be removed and polished, but this will shorten the lifespan of the brake discs. It is best to replace them with new ones.
