Solutions for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel: 1. Aging or excessive play in the steering tie rod ball joint—replace the steering tie rod ball joint and perform a wheel alignment. 2. Leaking oil from the steering gear dust cover—replace the dust cover or reapply grease. 3. Steering gear malfunction—possibly caused by excessive gear clearance in the steering gear, requiring replacement of the steering gear. 4. Improper tension or aging of the power steering belt—adjust the belt tension or replace the belt. 5. Abnormal noise from the stabilizer bar—if the noise is not from the shock absorber, check for looseness or damage in the stabilizer bar bushings. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise not only when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can be fixed by adding shims, while damaged ones must be replaced.

How to Check Tire Pressure Data with TPMS?

The methods to check tire pressure data with TPMS: 1. For models equipped with indirect TPMS, there will be no numerical tire pressure display, only an alarm prompt. To check the tire pressure data, you can use an external tire pressure gauge. Remove the tire valve cap, press the tire pressure gauge nozzle firmly against the valve, and the tire pressure data will appear; 2. Vehicles equipped with direct TPMS can directly view the tire pressure data on the in-car display screen; 3. For vehicles with direct TPMS, when low tire pressure or a tire pressure sensor malfunction occurs, the problematic tire on the screen's car model will flash, accompanied by two symbols marked on the dashboard to assist in reminding the driver to check the tire pressure and temperature status.

Where is the three-way catalytic converter located?

The three-way catalytic converter is located at the front end of the engine exhaust pipe, between the front and rear oxygen sensors. The function of the three-way catalytic converter is to convert harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), and NOx (nitrogen oxides) emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Because this catalytic converter can simultaneously transform the three major harmful substances in exhaust gases into harmless substances, it is called a three-way catalytic converter. After prolonged use, substances such as carbon deposits in the exhaust gas may adhere to the porous ceramic carrier of the catalytic converter, leading to a risk of clogging over time. If the three-way catalytic converter becomes clogged, it can only be restored to optimal performance through cleaning.

Can I Pay Taxes Again the Day After Getting a New Car Tax Refund?

You need to inquire with the local tax bureau. After purchasing a car, based on the validity period of the temporary license plate, which is generally 15 to 30 days, you must register the car. It is best to register within the validity period of the temporary license plate. In case of special circumstances, you can pay a fee at the car dealership to request a new temporary license plate. However, the delay should not exceed 30 days. There are no specific regulations stating that you cannot pay taxes again the next day, but for practical issues, it is recommended to consult the tax bureau. Below is relevant information about vehicle purchase tax refunds: 1. Eligibility: Vehicles for which the vehicle purchase tax has been paid, vehicles returned to the manufacturer or dealer, and vehicles that qualify for tax exemption or reduction but have already been taxed. 2. Processing Location: Can be handled at the tax service hall or through the electronic tax bureau. 3. Required Documents: Include a resident ID card, the "Unified Invoice for Motor Vehicle Sales" or valid proof, original and photocopy of the tax payment certificate, and a written application or other explanatory materials from the taxpayer.

What does TPWS mean on a car?

TPWS on a car stands for Tire Pressure Warning System. When a TPWS fault code appears, it indicates that the tire pressure needs calibration. Vehicles displaying this fault code are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, which continuously monitors the tire pressure in real-time and alerts the driver in case of underinflated, overinflated, or leaking tires to ensure driving safety. There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems: 1. Indirect TPMS, which detects abnormal tire conditions by monitoring the rotational speed difference of the tires; 2. Direct TPMS, which uses four tire pressure sensors installed inside the tires to automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature, whether the car is stationary or in motion, and alerts the driver to high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature conditions to prevent traffic accidents caused by tire failures and ensure driving safety.
