When the engine oil is low, a red oil can warning light will appear on the dashboard. Here are the impacts of driving with insufficient engine oil: 1. Severe engine damage: Continuing to drive with low oil level may cause cylinder scoring, crankshaft and bearing damage in mild cases, or complete engine failure in severe cases. 2. Cylinder scoring or seizure: Engine oil serves four primary functions - lubrication, sealing, heat dissipation, and rust prevention. Oil deficiency leads to insufficient lubrication and poor sealing, causing severe wear of engine components, which significantly reduces vehicle lifespan and compromises driving safety.

What are the causes of steering system failure in the BMW 3 Series?

Here are the causes of steering system failure in the BMW 3 Series: 1. Abnormal noise when steering: The cause of abnormal noise when steering is usually due to damage to the kingpin and bushing, or damage to the column thrust bearing. In such cases, you can turn the steering wheel left and right to locate the source of the noise and then proceed with disassembly and inspection. 2. Steering gear oil leakage: Oil leakage in the steering gear typically occurs at three locations: the upper cover of the steering gear, the connection between the steering gear and the steering shaft, and the side end cover. This is usually caused by prolonged use of the vehicle leading to seal failure. Since these three areas have sealing rings, replacing the oil seals and sealing rings can resolve the issue. 3. Difficulty in steering wheel return: Most vehicles have an automatic steering return function. If you need to apply the same force to return the steering wheel as you do when turning, it indicates a malfunction in the return function. This type of failure usually occurs in the mechanical parts of the steering system, such as lack of lubrication causing damage to the kingpin and bushing of the steering knuckle.

Why is the Mercedes-Benz B-Class a niche car?

Here is an introduction to why the Mercedes-Benz B-Class is a niche car: 1. Low configuration: It lacks rear air vents, has a torsion beam rear suspension, and the installed features like automatic parking, automatic headlights, segmented sunroof, and parking sensors are not very useful. 2. Unattractive design: Unlike the current domestic A-Class, which is a three-box sedan resembling a smaller version of the C-Class, the B-Class is a two-box model that looks relatively plain and less appealing to Chinese consumers' aesthetic preferences. It is a "high-roof" model (a compact MPV) with significant body roll during cornering. 3. Expensive maintenance: Although many maintenance parts for the Mercedes-Benz B-Class are shared with the A-Class, the cost of a single maintenance session is still high. Even though maintenance is only required once a year, the same price could cover two maintenance sessions for some lower-end cars in a year.

What are some practical small items for cars?

Practical small items for cars include: 1. Dash Cam: Equipping a dash cam can protect the driver's rights by recording and replaying surveillance footage, making accident responsibilities clear. It allows for quick evacuation of the scene to restore traffic while preserving crucial evidence of the incident, ensuring a safe and smooth traffic environment. More importantly, it helps prevent fraud, as fraudulent methods are increasingly varied, and the recorded video serves as the most compelling evidence. 2. Induction Phone Holder: An induction holder automatically opens its clamps when it detects a phone nearby (distance sensing). When placing the phone down, it automatically opens (via touch button), semi-automating the phone placement process, effectively reducing distracted driving. 3. Parking Contact Number Plate: In urgent situations requiring temporary parking or when blocking other vehicles, having a contact number facilitates communication and avoids unnecessary trouble. 4. Car Fire Extinguisher: With improved economic conditions and better material standards, fire safety issues have also emerged. Car fires are not uncommon, so keeping a fire extinguisher in the car allows for immediate action to extinguish flames at the first sign of fire, preventing major accidents. It can also help put out fires in other vehicles.

Is it difficult for beginners to get a motorcycle license?

Compared to the car driver's license test, the motorcycle license test is relatively easy. It only requires three parts: the written test (subject one), the field test, and the road driving test. The field test involves driving back and forth between cones, while the road driving test requires riding the motorcycle for a few hundred meters on the road, both of which are relatively simple. Here are some details about obtaining a motorcycle license: 1. Required documents: When registering, bring your original valid ID card, a copy of both sides of your ID, and four one-inch passport photos. Go to the motorcycle license window at the city traffic bureau to fill out the application form. 2. Notes: Motorcycle licenses are generally divided into two types: the D license for three-wheeled motorcycles and the E license for two-wheeled motorcycles. The process and fees are basically the same. You must bring your ID card when taking the subject tests. 3. Overview: The test includes a theoretical exam and a practical exam. The theoretical exam consists of subject one and subject four, while subject two and subject three are practical tests. However, there is one prerequisite: drivers who already have a C1 license must complete the probationary period before they can obtain a motorcycle license through an additional driving test.
