For vehicles operating under harsh conditions, the actual malfunction may be caused by damage to the steering system, requiring inspection and repair or replacement of parts. If the steering wheel is loose up and down, it is highly likely that the universal joint in the steering column is loose. Replacing the universal joint can resolve the issue.

Can You Wax Your Car on Rainy Days?

It is advisable to avoid waxing your car on rainy days. Paint care products are generally sensitive to water, especially during the curing phase. For instance, if it rains right after waxing, the water can wash away the effective product adhering to the paint surface, diminishing the waxing effect. Below is an introduction to car waxing: 1. Purpose of waxing: The goal is to make the car less susceptible to external dust and acid rain, thereby providing a certain level of protection to the paint and surface. 2. Choose sunny weather for waxing: It is generally best to wax your car on a sunny day. After waxing, rain will not wash away the freshly applied wax because the wax itself is waterproof and protects the car's paint. Typically, the wax will naturally evaporate under sunlight within 1 to 2 weeks. 3. Precautions for waxing: The foam or detergent sprayed during car washing can be very damaging to the wax, often removing it entirely after just one wash. Frequent washing can also reduce the paint's gloss. Therefore, it is recommended to wash the car with clean water, from top to bottom, to avoid damaging the paint.

What is the difference between 0w-40 and 5w-40?

Here are the specific differences between 0w-40 and 5w-40 engine oils: 1. Viscosity: 0w40 and 5w40 engine oils have the same viscosity. The number after "w" in the oil grade indicates the oil viscosity. 2. Low-temperature fluidity: The number before "w" in the oil grade represents the oil's low-temperature fluidity. 0w means the oil can still function normally at -35°C, while 5w is for -30°C. 3. Overall performance: 0w oil also outperforms 5w oil in terms of quality and overall performance. Most ultra-high-quality premium imported oils are 0w grade.

Can You Still Drive After Getting 12 Demerit Points on Your License at Once?

You cannot drive after getting 12 demerit points on your license at once. Below are the specific steps to retrieve your driver's license after accumulating 12 points: 1. Enrollment for Study: The driver needs to bring the "Admission Notice" to the school to enroll and participate in the study. If the driver finds out through inquiry that the points have been fully deducted, they can also bring their driver's license to enroll, which is equally valid. 2. Study Courses: The courses include Road Violation Points and Penalties, Driver Psychological Quality and Traffic Safety, Road Traffic Safety Laws and Regulations, etc. 3. Passing the Exam to Retrieve the License: After participating in the study, the vehicle management authority should conduct a road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test within 20 days. If the test is passed, the demerit points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned.

What Causes a Car to Fail to Start in Winter?

Winter car starting failures can be attributed to reasons such as battery aging or depletion, ignition system malfunctions, and exhaust pipe freezing. Below are the specific causes for a car failing to start in winter: 1. Battery aging or depletion: If a car battery remains unused for an extended period, it will self-discharge, leading to depletion over time. Additionally, after the car engine stops running, avoid using in-car electrical appliances. Without the engine's power supply, prolonged use of electrical devices such as in-car audio systems or headlights will drain the battery's charge. 2. Ignition system malfunction: Due to low intake air temperature in the cylinders, fuel atomization is poor. If there is insufficient ignition energy, it can easily lead to cylinder flooding, where excessive fuel accumulates in the cylinder, exceeding the ignition limit concentration and preventing the car from starting. 3. Exhaust pipe freezing: In cold winter weather, the exhaust gases expelled from the exhaust pipe may liquefy upon encountering cold temperatures, causing the exhaust pipe to freeze.
