Tire patches are generally applied on the inner side of the tire. Below are specific details about patch repairs: 1. Lifespan of the Repair: Nowadays, patch repairs are quite mature and do not affect the tire's lifespan. If done well, the repair can last 2-3 years. However, if not done properly, it can easily lead to slow air leaks. The advantage of patch repairs is that they take relatively little time and are cost-effective. Regular checks on tire pressure ensure that patch repairs do not impact daily use. 2. Disadvantages of Patch Repairs: The downside is that if the puncture is large, the repair may not be very effective. Larger punctures can cause the patch to detach when exposed to water. Additionally, patch repairs can be cumbersome as they require the use of a tire machine to separate the tire from the rim, remove the tire, clean the puncture area, and finally apply cold patch glue to the inner side of the tire before placing the patch.

How will the dashboard indicate low engine oil?

The engine oil warning light is used to display the level and pressure status of the engine oil, primarily in red and yellow colors. Below are the reasons why the engine oil warning light may illuminate. 1. Reduced oil pressure: Insufficient engine oil quantity decreases the oil pump's output or prevents the pump from drawing oil due to air intake, leading to reduced oil pressure. 2. Drop in oil pressure: Overheating of the engine can thin the oil, causing significant loss through component clearances and resulting in a drop in oil pressure. 3. Oil starvation: Damage to oil pump components or excessive clearance due to wear, assembly issues, etc., can prevent the oil pump from drawing oil or cause oil starvation faults.

Can dash cams only see the front?

Dash cams are not limited to only capturing the front view. Here are the details: 1. Types: If a dash cam has a front-facing camera, it can only record the approximately 100° field of view in front of the vehicle. However, if the dash cam is equipped with dual cameras, it can capture both the front and rear views. During installation, note that there are two wiring connectors—one for the front and one for the rear. The rear camera should be installed near the license plate light, and the wiring can be routed along the vehicle's rubber trim. 2. Function: A dash cam is a device that records video, audio, and other relevant information during vehicle operation. Once installed, it can document the entire driving process, including video images and sound, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents.

What are the symptoms of a faulty car throttle?

When a car throttle malfunctions, the following symptoms may occur: Unstable engine idle: The engine idle becomes unstable, with high idle speed persisting without dropping. The engine may experience difficulty starting, especially during cold starts. The idle may be unstable or nonexistent. When using a diagnostic tool to inspect the throttle, observe the data stream. If the throttle opening is excessively large, cleaning is necessary. Generally, replacement isn't required unless permanent fault codes are present. Engine starting difficulty: If diagnostics confirm the throttle fault is permanent, the throttle must be replaced. Insufficient engine power: The engine exhibits poor acceleration performance and unstable operation. The throttle should be replaced as it's generally not repairable through disassembly; the entire assembly should be replaced.
