The reasons for a loud steering wheel are: 1. The steering column is not lubricated, causing high friction; 2. Lack of power steering fluid; 3. Universal joint failure; 4. Aging of the suspension stabilizer bar bushings; 5. Planar bearing failure; 6. Power steering system failure; 7. Poor driving habits, such as excessive braking; 8. Abnormal wear of the brake disc and brake pad surfaces. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of travel, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. Solutions for a loud steering wheel include: 1. Lubricating the steering column; 2. Adding power steering fluid; 3. Replacing the universal joint; 4. Replacing the suspension stabilizer bar bushings; 5. Replacing the planar bearing; 6. Replacing the power steering system.

What to Do If the Vehicle License Annual Inspection Time Expires?

If the vehicle license expires, you can only go to the vehicle management office for replacement. There are only two types of expiration for the vehicle license: 1. Annual inspection expiration: If the vehicle is not inspected when it is due, it means the vehicle has not undergone the annual inspection. Vehicles that have not passed the annual inspection are not allowed to drive on the road, and driving on the road will be penalized. 2. The validity period of the main vehicle license expires: This type of expiration is the same as not having a vehicle license. Vehicles without a vehicle license are not allowed to drive on the road and will also be subject to the same penalties. 3. If the vehicle license expires, you should drive the vehicle as soon as possible and bring the original vehicle license and compulsory insurance certificate to the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to complete the annual inspection process.

Is the BMW 320i turbocharged?

BMW 320i is not turbocharged, it is equipped with a regular naturally aspirated engine. Turbocharging refers to an engine that adds a turbine and fan blades to increase air intake on the basis of a regular naturally aspirated engine. Classification: Currently, the main turbocharging technologies include mixed-flow turbocharging technology, variable turbocharging technology, two-stage turbocharging technology, and electrically assisted turbocharging technology. Working principle: It relies on the combustion of a combustible mixture of gasoline and air inside the cylinder to generate power. The output power and torque of an electronically fuel-injected gasoline engine depend on the amount of air entering the cylinder. When the engine's performance is already at its optimal state, the only way to increase its output power is to compress more air into the cylinder to increase the amount of combustible mixture, thereby enhancing combustion performance and increasing output power.

Should You Shift to Neutral at a Red Light with an Automatic Transmission?

When waiting at a red light with an automatic transmission car, it is recommended to shift to neutral. If the wait is longer, you can also engage the handbrake. Here are the relevant details: 1. In situations like waiting at traffic lights, traffic jams, or picking up passengers where temporary parking is required, many drivers are accustomed to the "D gear + brake pedal" method. However, this habit is not ideal. If the parking time is short (e.g., within 20 seconds), the gear lever can remain in D position while only pressing the brake pedal. 2. For slightly longer waits, it is best to use "N gear + handbrake" to reduce driver fatigue and prevent the automatic transmission fluid from overheating, which could affect its quality.

How to Remove Odor from a New Car?

Here are quick methods to eliminate odors from a new car: 1. Use bamboo charcoal bags, which have strong odor-absorbing capabilities and are both long-lasting and fast-acting; 2. Develop the habit of opening doors and windows before driving to allow circulating air to dilute and disperse toxic gases inside the cabin, and try to keep windows open as much as possible while driving; 3. Use fruit peels, such as pomelo and lemon, which also have odor-removing effects. Additional information: The reason for odors in new cars is the inclusion of various materials during manufacturing, such as leather, plastic panels, soundproofing cotton, adhesives, and asphalt. These materials often contain odors like formaldehyde, which accumulate in the confined space of the car. Poor air circulation makes it difficult for the odors to dissipate, resulting in a pungent smell when entering the car.
