The wiper making noise when there is water but not when there is no water may be due to deformation or aging of the edge where the wiper rubber contacts the glass. Reasons for wiper aging: Generally, it is recommended to replace the wiper once a year. Rubber components are prone to aging, and since the wiper is located outside the vehicle, it is even more susceptible to hardening. Aged, cracked, or hardened wipers can produce abnormal noises. New types of wipers: In addition to rubber wipers, there are now silicone wipers. Due to the material, these wipers last longer than rubber ones and are less prone to aging. Some silicone wipers also have an automatic coating function. After installation, do not use windshield washer fluid. Within 3-5 minutes, a protective film will form on the surface of the windshield. During rainy days, water droplets will quickly slide off the glass surface without obstructing visibility.

What Causes the Brake Noise in the Envision?

Envision brake noise causes are as follows: Abnormal ABS operation: Normal ABS activation The ABS working process is actually a cyclic process of locking-releasing-locking-releasing, keeping the vehicle in a state of intermittent rolling at the critical locking point. When the ABS is activated by sudden braking, a clunking sound may occur. This noise is normal, and the solution is to press the brake pedal firmly to the floor. Brake pad/disc corrosion: Brake pad/disc rust After prolonged parking, especially in humid climates or after rain, some rust or dirt may form on the brake discs or pads. This issue usually resolves after driving for a while. Alternatively, applying butter or specialized lubricant at the connection between the brake pads and calipers can help. Improper installation: Installation issues If the brake pads are installed incorrectly or the model does not match, noise may also occur. The brake pads should be reinstalled properly. When installing brake pads, owners should have the work done at a professional auto repair shop.

Is the Honda CR-V equipped with a large or small CVT?

Large CVT, here is the relevant information: CR-V Positioning: The Honda CR-V is positioned as a compact SUV, with dimensions of: 4585/1855/1679mm and a wheelbase of 2660mm. In contrast, the Honda XR-V is positioned as a small SUV, with dimensions of 4328/1772/1610mm and a wheelbase of 2610mm. Whether in terms of positioning or specifications, the Honda CR-V is superior, offering better space as well. Fuel Consumption: Compared to the CR-V, the XR-V has slightly lower fuel consumption, smaller space, and lower configuration. Both the Honda CR-V and XR-V are SUV models produced by Dongfeng Honda. In terms of size, the Honda CR-V is larger, and consequently, it is also heavier. The heavier the vehicle, the higher the fuel consumption, with the Honda CR-V consuming 4.8-6.7L. The Honda XR-V, being smaller in size and lighter in weight, consumes 6.0-6.3L.

What are the causes of car air conditioning malfunctions?

Car air conditioning malfunctions can be caused by issues with the power supply, temperature, heat exchanger, and other components. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. No power connection: The air conditioning may not blow air because it is not properly connected to the power source. In this case, check whether the plug is loose or if the remote control is malfunctioning. If the plug is loose or the remote control is not working, the air conditioning will not blow air. 2. Low heat exchanger temperature: The air conditioning may not blow air because the temperature of the indoor heating exchanger is too low. When using the air conditioning for heating in winter, if the temperature of the indoor heating exchanger is too low, the air conditioning will automatically stop blowing air to prevent cold air from being emitted. 3. Frost formation on the heat exchanger: The air conditioning may not blow air because the outdoor heat exchanger has frost buildup. When using the air conditioning for heating in winter, if the indoor temperature is too low or the humidity is too high, the outdoor heat exchanger may accumulate a large amount of frost. In this case, the air conditioning will automatically activate the defrost function, and the indoor unit will naturally stop blowing air.

What Causes Oil Burning in Peugeot 3008?

Poor sealing leading to oil evaporation; excessive carbon buildup and other reasons. Excessive carbon buildup: Domestic fuel (including gasoline and engine oil) tends to produce carbon deposits; carbon buildup causes piston rings to stick, losing their oil-scraping function; clogged oil return holes prevent oil from properly returning to the crankcase. Valve aging leading to evaporation: Wear between the cylinder wall and piston, excessive clearance, corrosion and aging of valve seals and crankshaft seals, causing oil leakage. Oil burning doesn't necessarily require a major overhaul. Engine cylinder gasket burn-through: Burned-through engine cylinder gasket allows oil to leak from the oil passage into the combustion chamber, which can be resolved by replacing the "cylinder gasket"; it may also be caused by excessive clearance between piston rings and cylinder walls, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber, which can be fixed through engine repair by replacing the "piston" and "piston rings".

Should I Go for the Honda Civic Fuel Pump Recall Replacement?

Honda Civic fuel pump recall replacement is necessary. Below is relevant information: Residual Pressure: When the rotor disc rotates, the rollers are pressed outward by centrifugal force, functioning like a rotating oil seal. As the rotor turns, the pump operates, drawing fuel from the inlet port and pressurizing it into the fuel system through the outlet port. When the fuel pump is turned off, the check valve at the outlet port closes, preventing fuel from flowing back to the tank through the pump. The fuel line pressure maintained by the check valve is referred to as "residual pressure." Solution: For slightly damaged pump diaphragms (e.g., only edge damage), apply soap thickly to the damaged area, then separate each damaged diaphragm layer from the intact ones, staggering the damaged sections during reassembly. If the diaphragm has a long rupture, cut plastic, oilcloth, or film into the original diaphragm shape and sandwich it between the original diaphragm layers.
