This is a normal phenomenon caused by the friction between the brake disc and brake pads generating heat. There is no need to worry. If it's slightly warm, it's normal. If the temperature is hot to the touch, check whether the bearing is functioning properly and if the brake caliper can return to its normal position. Reasons for front tire heating: The wheel hub bearing is an important component of the car's running mechanism. The wheel hub bearing is responsible for reducing friction resistance during chassis operation and maintaining the normal driving of the car. If the wheel hub bearing fails, it may cause noise, bearing heating, and other phenomena, especially more obvious in the front wheels, which can easily lead to dangerous situations such as loss of steering control. Therefore, the wheel hub bearing must be maintained on schedule.

What are the reasons for a car not starting after being parked for a while?

There are two situations where a car does not start after being parked for a while. The specific circumstances and possible causes are as follows: 1. The car does not start immediately after being turned off. In this case, there is a higher possibility of an electrical circuit malfunction. It could also be due to a sensor causing the circuit to stop working due to a temperature rise. A thorough inspection of the electrical circuit is required before attempting any solutions. 2. The car does not start on the first attempt after being parked for a while and requires several attempts to start. This situation may be caused by a fuel system malfunction, throttle idle valve malfunction, or excessive carbon buildup in the cylinders or valves. It is necessary to visit a nearby repair shop to diagnose and eliminate the cause of the fault.

Where are license plates starting with the character 'Dong' from?

License plates starting with the character 'Dong' in TV dramas refer to Donghai City. In real life, there are no license plates starting with 'Dong' in China. Detailed explanation is as follows: 1. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character: representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, and autonomous regions. For example: Beijing is 'Jing', Shanghai is 'Hu', Hunan is 'Xiang', Chongqing is 'Yu', Shandong is 'Lu', Jiangxi is 'Gan', Fujian is 'Min', etc. 2. Among all the abbreviations of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government in China, none start with 'Dong'. The 'Dong' starting license plates seen in films and TV dramas are fictional, and in those dramas, they refer to Donghai City.

Why does the car smell like gasoline when starting?

There are several reasons why a car may emit a gasoline smell when starting: 1. During a cold start, the ECU adjusts the fuel injection quantity based on intake temperature and coolant temperature signals. At this time, the engine has not yet reached its normal operating temperature, and the air-fuel mixture cannot fully combust. This partially unburned mixture is expelled, resulting in a gasoline smell. Once the engine reaches its normal operating temperature of 80-90 degrees Celsius, the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders burns completely, and the gasoline smell will gradually disappear. 2. If the gasoline smell persists while driving, it may indicate a misfiring cylinder in the engine. Incompletely burned gasoline is expelled through the exhaust pipe, and when the car decelerates, the smell enters the cabin. (A car with a misfiring cylinder will exhibit noticeable shaking when starting or idling. If a misfire is confirmed, it should be repaired promptly.) 3. Driving too close to the car in front may allow exhaust from that car to enter your vehicle through the air conditioning ducts. Alternatively, if your windows are not fully closed, exhaust fumes may enter the cabin. Drive for a while to confirm whether the gasoline smell persists.

Is it better to use 92 or 95 gasoline for the Mondeo?

It is better to use 95 gasoline for the Mondeo. The details about the Mondeo are as follows: 1. All models of the new Mondeo require fuel with an octane rating of 92 or higher. (92 gasoline can be used, but the higher the octane rating, the better it is for the car's engine and performance. However, the choice should also be based on the car's condition.) 2. The Mondeo offers two engine displacements, 1.5T and 2.0T, across seven models. The 1.5T engine can deliver a maximum power of over 181 horsepower, with a peak torque of 240N/m. The high-power version of the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 242N/m. All models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 3. The choice between 92 or 95 gasoline is determined by the car engine's compression ratio. The Mondeo's compression ratio is 10.1. Generally, if the compression ratio exceeds 10, it is better to use 95 gasoline. Therefore, it is better to use 95 gasoline for the Mondeo.
