Blocking the intake pipe will stop the leakage, but without air intake, the brakes will fully lock up and the vehicle won't be able to move. You can locate the leaking brake cylinder's intake pipe, cut and block it, then use a wrench to remove the screw at the back of the brake cylinder to release the air brake. The other wheels can still operate and brake normally! A faulty car brake cylinder can result in poor braking performance or the tires "locking up," causing the brake discs to overheat. In severe cases, it may lead to tire explosion and unsafe driving conditions. In such situations, it's necessary to promptly replace a new brake cylinder rubber cup.

What to Do When a Car Submerges in Water?

After a car falls into water, it generally takes at least 3-5 minutes to completely submerge. Most cars are heavier in the front and lighter in the rear, so it's best to first break the side or rear window. When a vehicle is submerged in water, quickly determine the direction of the water surface. Generally, the brighter direction indicates the water surface. At this point, quickly roll down the window to escape. If you can't swim, grab empty cola bottles or other plastic bottles inside the car and tuck them under your armpits to increase buoyancy, then hold your breath and float to the surface.

How to Deal with a Leaking Car Roof?

You can use a high-pressure water gun to blow air toward the drainage hole to clear the blockage. Fill a syringe with water and inject it into the hose, repeating the process several times to clean it. If the drainage hole is in a hard-to-reach location or cannot be cleaned easily, you can locate it from underneath the car and then clean it from there. There is an outlet on the car sunroof's track, one on each side. Pour water into this outlet to check if the drainage pipe is clear.

What to Do When the Car's Power Door Malfunctions?

Remote key time control module failure, aging of the car's remote transmitter antenna, etc., may cause the remote key to stop functioning.
