The reasons why the car stalls when braking at a red light are: 1. Inexperienced driving skills or improper operation; 2. Fuel pump stuck or malfunctioning, causing poor fuel supply; 3. Use of low-quality fuel leading to excessive engine carbon buildup; 4. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, resulting in multiple cylinders not firing; 5. Excessive dirt on the idle motor valve core and throttle body. The solutions for a car stalling when braking at a red light are: 1. Quickly break in the car and improve driving skills; 2. Use qualified fuel; 3. Clean the fuel system, injectors, and fuel tank; 4. Clean the throttle body; 5. Clean the idle motor; 6. Replace the engine oil and oil filter.

Do I Have to Replace the Brake Pads When Changing the Brake Discs?

Replacing the brake discs does not necessarily require replacing the brake pads. If the brake pads are still thick, you can change the brake discs without replacing the pads. Typically, you only need to replace the brake discs once for every two brake pad replacements. When the combined depth of the grooves on both sides of the brake disc exceeds 3mm or the edges of the brake disc become sharp, it's time to replace them promptly. It's essential to develop a habit of regular inspections and timely maintenance. The brake disc is a crucial component of the braking system; good brake discs ensure stable braking, no noise, and no vibration. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are key safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking relies decisively on the brake pads.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise from Car Brake Discs?

Car brake disc squeaking noise can be caused by: 1. Human factors, such as noise occurring after removing the original brake pads and installing new ones. When replacing brake pads, it is necessary to first check whether the brake disc has scratches. If there are scratches, it is recommended to smooth them out or replace the disc; 2. The brake disc surface is smooth but noise occurs after installing new pads, which may be due to the mechanic installing the brake pads incorrectly. Upon removal, it can be seen that only part of the brake pad surface has friction marks, and they can be reinstalled; 3. Product factors, such as inconsistent friction block sizes among domestic manufacturers for the same model of brake pads, especially the width of the friction blocks. If larger-sized brake pads are installed on brake discs that have been used with smaller-sized brake pads, noise will also occur. The disc can be smoothed first, or if not smoothed, driving for a period of time until the marks match will stop the noise.

Why Does It Squeak When Braking?

The reasons for squeaking when braking: 1. Normal noise phenomenon. Brake pads are composed of iron plates, graphite, asbestos, etc. When they rub against the brake disc, some metal powder is inevitably produced, which can cause a squeaking sound when braking. 2. The brake pads have worn to their limit. The brake warning plate rubs against the brake disc, resulting in a metal-on-metal sound. If the noise is due to normal brake pad operation, there is no need to worry too much. Pressing the brakes firmly a few times or performing emergency braking in an open area can improve the situation. However, if the brake pads are worn, the braking effectiveness will significantly decrease, posing a serious threat to driving safety. In this case, it is essential to replace the brake pads promptly to prevent potential hazards.

What Does Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Mean?

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, abbreviated as PHEV, is a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. Different from traditional hybrid vehicles that combine gasoline power with electric drive, the driving principle and unit of plug-in hybrid vehicles are the same as those of electric vehicles, with the only difference being that they are equipped with an engine. Broadly speaking, plug-in hybrid vehicles can be understood as having both an electric motor and an engine, both of which can provide power output. The vehicle body is equipped with a charging port, allowing the onboard battery to be charged using a charging station. The difference between plug-in hybrid vehicles and ordinary hybrid vehicles: ordinary hybrid vehicles have very small battery capacities, which only supply and recover energy during start-stop, acceleration, and deceleration. They cannot be charged externally and cannot travel long distances in pure electric mode. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can travel in pure electric mode. Once the battery is depleted, they switch to hybrid mode (mainly powered by the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed.

Does Car Windshield Washer Fluid Freeze?

If the windshield washer fluid used in winter is not specifically designed for winter, it may freeze. Generally, winter-specific washer fluid can prevent freezing at temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners choose winter-specific washer fluid during the winter season to effectively avoid freezing, ensuring safer use of windshield wipers and reducing financial losses. When selecting washer fluid for winter, the antifreeze performance should be the primary criterion. If the ambient temperature is particularly low, it is advisable to choose washer fluid with better antifreeze properties to prevent issues such as frozen fluid or malfunctioning of the washer pump. The antistatic performance of car windshield washer fluid is also one of the selection criteria for winter. High-quality washer fluid can prevent the buildup of static charges that attract dirt. If the washer fluid has poor antistatic capabilities, consumers should exercise caution when purchasing to avoid potential inconveniences during use.
