Tire Y rating is higher than W rating. Here are more details about tire W and Y ratings: 1. Different maximum speed allowances: W-rated tires allow a maximum speed of 270 km/h, while Y-rated tires allow 300 km/h. 2. Different sidewall markings: W-rated tires have a 'W' symbol on the sidewall, whereas Y-rated tires have a 'Y'. 3. Performance differences: Although the performance gap is small, tires allowing higher speeds (Y-rated) perform slightly better than W-rated ones. 4. Price difference: Y-rated tires are more expensive than W-rated tires.

How to Solve Car Sunroof Leakage?

To address car sunroof leakage, it is necessary to inspect the drainage holes. Determine whether the sunroof drainage holes are blocked or if the sealing rubber strip has aged by checking the drainage condition. If it is confirmed that the car's drainage pipe is blocked, promptly visit a professional repair shop for treatment to avoid greater losses. Below is an introduction on preventing car sunroof leakage: 1. Regularly inspect the sunroof drainage outlets: The car sunroof drainage outlets are an important pathway for sunroof drainage. If not cleaned for a long time, it can easily lead to blockage of the drainage holes, resulting in water seepage. It is necessary to regularly inspect the sunroof drainage outlets and promptly clean any dust or fallen leaves to ensure normal drainage. 2. Regularly inspect the sunroof guide rails: Due to lack of attention during use, sand, fallen leaves, and other debris may accumulate on the sunroof guide rails. If not cleaned for a long time, it can damage the sunroof guide rails, making it impossible to close the sunroof properly and leading to leakage. 3. Regularly inspect the sunroof sealing rubber strip: With increased usage over time, the sunroof sealing rubber strip may also age. When the sealing rubber strip is severely aged, the sunroof may leak. 4. Avoid opening the sunroof on bumpy roads: Try not to use the car sunroof on bumpy roads, as they can easily cause deformation of the sunroof guide rails, affecting normal sealing.

How to Drive the 10th-Generation Civic for Better Fuel Efficiency?

Here are methods to reduce fuel consumption for the 10th-generation Civic: 1. Enhance vehicle maintenance: The adjustment and maintenance of the car affect engine performance and driving resistance. Statistics show that poorly maintained engines can increase fuel consumption by 10% to 20%. Owners should regularly visit auto repair shops for routine maintenance, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting brake pad and drum clearance, lubricating chassis points, timely oil changes, and filter inspections. 2. Avoid prolonged engine idling: Idling consumes significantly more fuel than normal driving. Therefore, if the vehicle is stationary for extended periods (e.g., waiting), it's best to turn off the engine. During cold starts, warm-up should not exceed 1 minute; maintaining low-speed driving for a few minutes is sufficient. 3. Minimize sudden braking and acceleration: Smooth and steady driving is most fuel-efficient. During acceleration, avoid stomping on the throttle—gradual acceleration is ideal. Once reaching a steady speed, maintain it as much as possible. In congested areas, anticipate road conditions to avoid sudden braking, which not only saves fuel but also extends vehicle lifespan. 4. Maintain an appropriate driving speed: Each car has an optimal fuel-efficient speed (typically 70–90 km/h for sedans, varying by model). At high speeds, resistance (mainly air resistance) increases dramatically.

How to Clean Scale Inside the Engine?

Engine internal scale cleaning method is as follows: 1. After the engine is turned off, drain the cooling water and add cleaning agent; 2. Start the engine and run at medium speed for 5-10 minutes, then let it sit for 15 minutes; 3. Run at medium speed again for 5 minutes, then drain the cleaning agent. Repeat this process three to four times until the discharged cleaning agent is free of contaminants. More information about engine scale: 1. There are two commonly used cleaning agents for removing scale: one is adding 750g of caustic soda and 250g of kerosene to 5000g of water; the other is adding 1000g of baking soda and 500g of kerosene to 5000g of water. The amount of cleaning agent should be determined based on the volume of cooling water. 2. Excessive cooling water temperature caused by scale will also lead to high temperatures in the cylinders and intake passages, causing the mixed gas entering the cylinders to expand due to heat, reducing air intake, lowering engine power, increasing fuel consumption, and potentially causing "auto-ignition" or "knocking" phenomena.

What does TC mean?

TC stands for Traction Control System, which enhances a vehicle's off-road capability. More details about TC are as follows: 1. When braking on slippery surfaces or during rapid acceleration, a car's wheels may slip, potentially causing loss of directional control. The Traction Control System is specifically designed to address this issue. When the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) detects wheel slippage, it applies braking to the slipping wheels to prevent loss of traction. 2. When the system is active, the yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard will flash to alert the driver. The Traction Control System not only improves driving stability but also enhances acceleration and climbing ability.
