There are scratches on the brake disc. Root cause: Wear on the brake disc will form deep grooves around the disc. Friction between the brake pads and the edges of these grooves can cause abnormal noises. If the grooves are not particularly deep, the issue can be resolved by grinding the edges of the brake pads to avoid contact with the groove edges. If the grooves are already very deep, it is recommended to replace the brake disc. Solution: When replacing brake pads, always check the brake disc for scratches or wear. If scratches or wear are present, it is advisable to smooth out the scratches or replace the disc. Generally, it is recommended to replace the brake disc once for every two brake pad replacements.

Is there a difference between external painting and 4S shop painting?

There are differences between external painting and 4S shop painting, as 4S shops have more comprehensive equipment and better paint quality. Below is a detailed introduction to the 4S shop painting process: 1. Cleaning and sanding: After scratches or collisions, sheet metal repair is usually performed first to restore the basic shape. Professional painting and sanding tools are used to remove the original paint, exposing the metal panel. 2. Filling dents: Applying putty ensures a smooth paint surface and fills in any dents. This process is typically repeated three times, as it affects the final painting result. 3. Base preparation: A paint scanner is used to analyze the car's paint, followed by manual fine-tuning. Since different vehicles have varying usage durations, the paint may have slight variations, requiring technicians to compare the paint sample with the car body color on-site. 4. Painting: The main types of paint include standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint.

What is the symbol for dipped headlights?

There is no symbol for dipped headlights. Below is relevant information about the classification of headlights: 1. Semi-sealed headlights: The lens and reflector of semi-sealed headlights are glued together and cannot be disassembled. The bulb can be installed from the rear of the reflector. The advantage of semi-sealed headlights is that only the bulb needs to be replaced when the filament burns out, while the disadvantage is poor sealing. Combined headlights integrate the front turn signal, front position light, high beam, and dipped beam into a single unit. The reflector and lens are made from organic materials as a single piece, allowing the bulb to be easily installed from the rear. With combined headlights, automobile manufacturers can produce headlight lenses in any desired style to improve aerodynamic characteristics, fuel economy, and vehicle styling. 2. Sealed headlights: Sealed headlights are further divided into standard sealed headlights and halogen sealed headlights. The optical system of standard sealed headlights involves welding the reflector and lens into a single unit to form the bulb housing, with the filament soldered onto the reflector base. The reflector's surface is vacuum-coated with aluminum, and the bulb is filled with inert gas and halogen. This structure offers excellent sealing, preventing atmospheric contamination of the reflector, high reflection efficiency, and a long service life. However, if the filament burns out, the entire headlight assembly must be replaced, which is more costly.
