Windshield wipers make loud noises because there are sand particles trapped in the grooves on both sides of the wiper rubber or the wiper blades have aged and hardened, causing noise. Additionally, dirt and debris on the windshield can also create friction noise when the wipers operate. Regularly cleaning the windshield and replacing aged wipers can resolve the issue. Windshield wipers, also known as wiper blades or windscreen wipers, are devices used to remove rain and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving driver visibility and enhancing driving safety. The wiper blades should remain adequately moisturized to maintain excellent flexibility, ensuring tight contact with the windshield.

What Causes Engine Oil to Spray from the Exhaust Pipe?

Reasons for engine oil spraying from the car's exhaust pipe are as follows: 1. Failure of pistons, cylinder liners, piston pins, or piston rings, resulting in loss of original sealing effect, leading to oil spray from the exhaust pipe. 2. Severe wear between the valve stem and valve guide, creating excessive clearance, causing oil spray from the exhaust pipe. 3. If the car's exhaust pipe is connected to the upper part, the issue may lie with the valve oil seal. 4. If the vehicle has just been serviced, residual oil in the cylinder may cause temporary oil discharge, which is normal. However, if oil leakage persists after prolonged operation post-repair, it may be due to wear of the turbocharger's floating bearing seal ring. In case of any of the above issues, regardless of the cause, it is best to leave it to professionals. This process requires systematic troubleshooting, and any errors during disassembly or assembly can lead to further vehicle malfunctions.

Is it necessary to keep a life jacket in the car?

It is not necessary to keep a life jacket in the car. Car toolkit: Every car comes with a toolkit, which usually contains some basic tools, including wrenches, screwdrivers, wheel rim keys, etc. Car owners should regularly organize and check them. It is best to clean them after each use to extend the lifespan of the tools. Spare tire: Spare tires are often forgotten under the trunk and lack maintenance. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners check the spare tire regularly every three months and inflate it if necessary. First aid kit: This is an emergency car equipment that most drivers do not have. In Audi cars, you can find a factory-equipped first aid kit. The kit should contain bandages, gauze, disinfectants, and other emergency medicines to provide first aid in case of an accident. At the same time, the first aid kit should be checked and cleaned every six months. Jack: A jack is an indispensable tool for changing tires, and almost all car manufacturers provide a set of jacks with the car. When buying a used car, be sure to check if the jack is intact, as the factory-provided jack is lightweight and easy to use. Factory car manual: Keeping the manual in the car for a long time has the advantage of clearly understanding the various conditions of the car.

Will driving with a small cut on the tire have any impact?

Driving with a small cut on the tire will have an impact. Rubber Strip Plug Repair: If the tire is punctured by a nail but is not losing air, it generally means the nail hasn't penetrated the tire completely, or the nail is temporarily blocking the air leak. In this case, the most effective method is to insert a special rubber strip into the punctured area, commonly known as the "rubber strip plug method." This only takes a few minutes and doesn't require removing the tire from the rim. However, the drawback of this method is that it's not very durable, so the vehicle owner should drive to a repair shop as soon as possible for a proper tire repair. Patch Repair Method: If the tire loses air quickly after being punctured and there's no spare tire available, you can remove the tire, locate the puncture, and apply a special tire repair agent to the inner layer of the tire. The tire repair agent is a non-toxic, odorless, non-flammable, and non-sticky liquid that can both repair the tire and inflate it. When the tire is punctured and loses air, simply connect the repair agent to the tire and press the valve. It will automatically add compressed air to the tire while injecting a white, hairspray-like repair adhesive. However, if the puncture diameter exceeds 6mm, this small tool won't be effective.
