The reasons for the yellowing of a car's front windshield are as follows: 1. Film issue: It is necessary to determine whether it is a problem with the windshield film. If it is a film issue, it cannot be eliminated and may be due to poor film quality or improper installation. In such cases, the windshield film needs to be replaced. The decision to replace can be based on the severity of the blurring. If the blurring is not very serious, it can still be used normally. However, if it affects the driver's visibility, then replacement is necessary. 2. Oil film on the windshield: If it is not due to the car film, it is usually because there is an oil film on the windshield. This generally occurs when driving with the windows open, gradually leading to the appearance of an oily film. Some vehicles emit black exhaust, which can enter the car when following behind them, forming an oil film on the front windshield. In this case, a glass cleaner specifically designed for oil film removal should be used.

What Causes a Car to Not Start but the Horn Still Works?

If the car horn sounds, it indicates that the battery still has some remaining power, but the inability to start the car may be due to insufficient battery power to support the vehicle's startup. This phenomenon can occur when the car battery's capacity is insufficient or when the battery is in a depleted state. Here is a detailed explanation of why the car may not start: 1. The vehicle's horn is directly powered by the battery and does not require the car to be started; it can be sounded when the car is parked and turned off. There is no significant relationship between the inability to start the car and whether the horn sounds. 2. There are many possible reasons why a car may not start, such as loose power cables to the starter, a faulty starter itself, ignition system issues, or problems with the fuel pump, etc. A specific inspection and repair are needed.

Is a tire pressure of 1.5 caused by a puncture?

A tire pressure of 1.5 might indicate a puncture, as the normal tire pressure should be between 230-250. A puncture can cause air leakage, leading to a drop in tire pressure. Here are some relevant details: 1. Precautions: When the tire pressure is 1.5, you should not continue driving, as low tire pressure increases tire movement and friction, raising the tire temperature and making the tire softer. This reduces the tire's strength, and prolonged high-speed driving can lead to a blowout. 2. Tire Pressure: Generally, you should check the tire pressure in a cool state once a month, and adjust it according to the season, load, and other factors based on the standard tire pressure. Additionally, all tires should be used within their lifespan, typically 3-5 years or 60,000-80,000 kilometers, to prevent issues caused by tire aging.

How to Resolve the Locking Failure of the Baojun 560 Electronic Steering Lock?

Baojun 560 electronic steering lock failure may be caused by low car voltage, the steering column lock not being unlocked, or the remote key not matching the system, preventing the steering column lock from unlocking. Alternatively, the steering column itself may be faulty. A detailed diagnosis at a 4S shop is required for specific issues. Here is additional information: 1. Hazards: Baojun 560 electronic steering lock failure can cause the car to drift while driving, meaning the car may automatically veer to one side even when the steering wheel is held steady. This could be due to inaccurate front and rear wheel alignment or inconsistent alignment parameters, or bent/deformed left/right steering tie rods with excessive hinge clearance. It may also lead to heavy steering, making it difficult to turn the wheel left or right. Causes could include inaccurate front wheel alignment or insufficient tire pressure. Immediate repair is necessary to avoid affecting normal driving. 2. Reading Fault Codes: If none of the above reasons explain the electronic steering lock failure, visit a repair shop to read the fault codes. Repairs can then be carried out based on the specific fault codes. A decoder is required for diagnosing the fault codes.
