Why does the dash cam only record for a few minutes before stopping?

If the dash cam stops recording after just a few minutes, it might be due to the recording time settings. Here are the specific details about dash cams: 1. The loop recording settings for dash cams usually offer different time options such as 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. Once a segment is recorded, it moves on to the next. 2. When setting the loop recording time, avoid choosing a duration that is too short or too long. If the recording time is too short, the video will be split into more segments, increasing the chance of dropped frames. Conversely, if the time is too long, fewer videos will be stored, and they will be overwritten quickly. It is recommended to set the recording time to 3 or 5 minutes for optimal performance. 3. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. Once installed, it can capture the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents.

What Causes Throttle Vibration?

Throttle vibration causes: 1. Engine vibration transmitted to the throttle pedal. If you feel the throttle pedal vibrating when pressing it, it is mostly caused by engine resonance transmitted through the vehicle body to the throttle pedal, making your foot feel the vibration when placed on the pedal; 2. Damaged engine mount dampers. When the engine mount dampers leak oil or age and break, their vibration-damping effect significantly decreases, inevitably causing throttle pedal vibration; 3. Clutch slippage. In manual and dual-clutch transmission models, the power transfer and disconnection from the engine to the transmission are completed by friction plate clutches. If the clutch plates are severely worn and slipping or the damping springs are broken, it will cause throttle pedal vibration.

Is Automotive EMS the Same as ECU?

Automotive EMS is not ECU. Automotive EMS is the Engine Management System, while ECU is the Engine Control Unit. The former is a system, and the latter is a physical entity. Introduction to Automotive EMS: EMS is the Engine Management System, also known as the engine computer. Its principle involves converting physical information such as the amount of air inhaled by the engine, the temperature of the coolant, engine speed, and acceleration/deceleration into electrical signals through various sensors and their circuits, which are then sent to the vehicle's controller. Introduction to Automotive ECU: ECU is the Electronic Control Unit, also referred to as the "vehicle computer" or "on-board computer." In terms of its purpose, it is a specialized microcomputer controller for automobiles. Like a regular computer, it consists of a microprocessor, memory, input/output interfaces, analog-to-digital converters, as well as shaping and driving large-scale integrated circuits.

Can You Still Drive with a Cracked Car Windshield?

You can still drive with a cracked car windshield, but you should drive at a low speed and get it repaired promptly; otherwise, it may affect the repair outcome. During regular use, the front and rear windshields are more prone to damage. Cracks in the windshield can be repaired, but not all types of cracks are repairable—only those on the outermost layer of glass can be fixed. Typically, repairable crack types include star-shaped cracks and linear cracks. Generally, the smaller the crack, the better. If the crack diameter exceeds 20mm, the repair effect will be poor, and it is not recommended to attempt a repair. In such cases, it is safer to directly replace the windshield.

Can Tubeless Tires Be Fitted with Inner Tubes?

Tubeless tires can be fitted with inner tubes. After adding inner tubes to tubeless tires, they maintain good load-bearing capacity, effectively supporting the vehicle's weight for stable driving. They also help absorb shocks, reducing the impact forces experienced during driving to enhance stability. Additionally, inner tubes serve as a crucial connecting component in the vehicle structure, improving kinetic energy efficiency and consequently reducing driving noise. However, after installing inner tubes, they become more susceptible to temperature changes. High temperatures can increase tire pressure, potentially leading to blowouts, while the tires may harden, compromising ride comfort and shortening the lifespan of shock absorbers.

How often should the timing chain of FAW Magotan be replaced?

FAW Magotan's timing chain is recommended to be replaced every five years or after driving 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. The main function of the engine timing chain is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the engine's intake and exhaust valves open and close at the appropriate times to guarantee normal air intake and exhaust for the engine cylinders. The Magotan is a mid-size car under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4865 mm in length, 1832 mm in width, and 1471 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871 mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Volkswagen Magotan is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
