Here are the reasons why the engine fault code keeps reappearing after being cleared: 1. False fault: A fault code is reported, but the engine works normally. This may be caused by an operation that exceeded the computer's control range, and the computer fed back a fault code. You can clear it first and then check if the fault code reappears. 2. Minor fault: The engine does not show any obvious faults, but further inspection based on computer detection information reveals a real fault that does not affect normal driving or has minimal impact. It should be identified and resolved promptly. For example, a faulty intake pressure sensor. 3. Major fault: Such faults can be felt through visual inspection and driving experience, and they severely affect the normal operation of the engine. Immediate repair is required. For example, obvious lack of engine power, which is likely due to an oxygen sensor issue.

Can a Tire with Tire Sealant Still Be Repaired?

It is still possible to repair the tire. Tire sealant is a mixture containing various high-molecular chemical materials. It is widely suitable for rubber tires on electric vehicles, motorcycles, and small to medium-sized cars, and is particularly effective for punctures with diameters of about 1–5 mm. It is an essential item to carry in the vehicle. The working principle of tire sealant involves the fibers and rubber particles or suspended fine rubber particles in the sealant. When the tire loses air, these particles aggregate and block the puncture hole. Since it works by blocking, it is highly effective for small holes, especially in tubeless tires, but less effective for larger cuts. Side effects of tire sealant: After using one can of sealant, approximately 200ml–300ml of residual liquid remains inside the tire, similar in volume to a standard soda can. This will inevitably affect the wheel's dynamic balance, so extra caution is required while driving. The sealant can also damage the wheel rim because the liquid corrodes it, leading to reduced sealing performance when the tire is removed next time. Precautions for tire repair: After repairing the tire and reinstalling it, inflate both sides of the tire quickly to seal it. Then, install the valve core and inflate to the recommended pressure before tightening the valve core. Finally, check for leaks before use. If the tire sidewall has a hole larger than a thumbnail or the tread is severely punctured by objects like rebar, it is safer to replace the tire entirely. Such significant damage is difficult to repair effectively, and the results may not be reliable.

What Are the Effects of a Vehicle Driving Through Water?

The effects of a vehicle driving through water are as follows: Residual water can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully engaging, causing the vehicle to lose braking power; Rainwater on the road is dirty and contains various debris. When a vehicle drives through water, these debris can easily adhere to the gaps in the chassis, leading to rust over time; When a vehicle drives through water, water can enter the headlights, forming condensation inside, which affects the light's transmission and directly impacts driving safety; The engine compartment contains many wiring harnesses and circuits. Driving through water can wet the connectors of these harnesses, causing electrical shorts; Water entering the cabin floor or exhaust pipe can damage the engine; If water reaches the wheels but does not enter the cabin, it is generally referred to as wading. This is a common scenario and usually causes no significant damage to the vehicle; If water reaches halfway up the wheels and enters the cabin, submerging below the dashboard (referred to as a water-damaged vehicle), it can damage the performance of vehicles with fewer floor components. Professional treatment may allow continued use; If water exceeds the wheels and enters the cabin, submerging the dashboard (referred to as a flooded vehicle), it can cause severe damage to the engine, transmission, and electrical systems. Such vehicles are not recommended for continued use after repairs; If water reaches the roof and completely submerges the cabin (referred to as a submerged vehicle), the damage is extensive, and repairs are not advised. Post-water driving handling methods: If the exhaust or intake ports have taken in water during wading, the vehicle must be towed to a repair shop for inspection. Do not attempt to start the engine, as this could cause further damage due to ineffective lubrication. If water enters the cabin, the repair process primarily involves draining the water. There are several sealing strips under the chassis that can be opened to release the water. However, since cabin materials absorb water easily, floor coverings should be removed and placed in a ventilated area to dry. Additionally, wiring, sensors, electronics, and the vehicle's computer should be disassembled, cleaned, and thoroughly dried using a blower or compressed air. If the water damage is severe, disconnect the battery immediately to protect electrical components. Open the doors to drain water, ventilate the cabin, and remove soaked interior parts. After thorough cleaning and disinfection, expose them to sunlight for sterilization.

Does the Visibility Distance of Drivers Shorten at Night?

Visibility distance for drivers does shorten at night, so extra caution is required. Factors contributing to reduced visibility distance: During nighttime driving, due to vehicle limitations, environmental conditions, and human physiological characteristics, drivers experience deteriorated vision, shortened visibility distance, and narrowed field of view. Additionally, drivers' observation and judgment abilities are impaired, making nighttime a peak period for traffic accidents. Precautions for nighttime driving: Always turn on headlights when driving at night; maintain greater following distance than daytime driving to ensure sufficient safety margin; avoid overtaking whenever possible; slow down when approaching intersections.

What is the suspension of the Baojun 510?

The front suspension of the Baojun 510 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the frame and the axle. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven roads transmitted to the frame or body, reduce the resulting vibrations, and ensure smooth driving. Taking the 2021 Baojun 510 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4220mm, width 1740mm, height 1615mm, wheelbase 2550mm, and minimum ground clearance 160mm.

How to Check the Production Date of BMW Glass?

BMW glass production date can be checked as follows: 1. Several small black dots represent the production month of the glass. 2. If the black dots are in front of the number, subtract the number of dots from 7. 3. If the black dots are behind the number, subtract the number of dots from 13. 4. The number following the black dots indicates the production year of the glass. Below is a related introduction: Generally, the markings on domestic automotive glass can be divided into four categories: national safety certification marks, foreign certification marks, automobile manufacturer marks, and glass manufacturer marks.

Can 502 glue be used to repair a detached car roof fabric?

502 glue can be used to repair a detached car roof fabric. The repair method is as follows: 1. Clean the detached area thoroughly; 2. Apply 502 glue evenly on the detached part; 3. Press the detached part back onto the roof and let it dry. Types of car roof fabrics: 1. PVC artificial leather; 2. Non-woven fabric; 3. Knitted fabric. The car roof fabric is an important part of the vehicle's roof, serving to enhance the interior decoration. It improves heat insulation between the interior and exterior, reduces interior noise, enhances sound absorption, and improves passenger comfort and safety.
