The steering wheel of Mercedes-Benz G-Class is heavy. If it is hydraulic power steering, check whether the power steering fluid is insufficient or if there is any oil leakage. If it is electronic power steering, check whether the fuse is blown, whether there is any open circuit or short circuit to ground in the wiring, and check the tire pressure. Air leakage can also cause the steering to become heavy, and you will need to inflate the tires. Solutions for heavy steering wheel in Mercedes-Benz G-Class: For hydraulic power steering, check whether the power steering fluid is insufficient. If it is low, refill it to the normal range. If the fluid level is normal, check whether the power steering pump belt is too loose, and whether the fluid is too dirty, which can reduce its flowability. Generally, it should be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Also, check the tire pressure. Adjusting the steering wheel of Mercedes-Benz G-Class: Push the adjustment lever under the steering column to the lowest position. Move the steering wheel up, down, forward, and backward to ensure that you can see all the gauges and indicator lights on the instrument panel. Push the adjustment lever upward to lock the steering wheel. Try to move the steering wheel to confirm that it is securely locked.

How often should the Honda CVT transmission fluid be changed?

Honda's CVT transmission requires the transmission fluid to be changed every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. It is recommended to have the fluid changed by professional technicians at an authorized 4S dealership. It is important to note that only the manufacturer-specified CVT transmission fluid should be used. Below are the relevant details about the fluid change: Introduction to the gravity drain method: This involves loosening the drain plug at the bottom, allowing the old fluid to drain out by gravity. However, due to the internal structure of the transmission, the old fluid often cannot be completely drained. This method has a relatively low fluid replacement rate but is economical and simple to perform. Many people use this method, and performing multiple changes can help remove more of the old fluid. Introduction to the flush method: This involves introducing new fluid into the transmission and then extracting the mixture of old and new fluid until the transmission fluid is no longer cloudy. This method requires more fluid, about twice as much as the manual gravity drain method, typically 9-12 liters of new fluid. Although the cost is higher, the fluid replacement is more thorough.

What are the effects of spark plug breakdown on a car?

The effects of spark plug breakdown on a car: It directly causes leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and many other issues. The most significant problem is difficulty in ignition, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Steps to replace a spark plug: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the ignition sequence, and then snap the cover back into place. A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell.

What is the fault when the oil light occasionally flashes?

The reasons for the oil light flashing 1. Engine overheating: Engine overheating causes the oil to become too thin, resulting in insufficient oil pressure. At this time, the oil light will flash continuously. 2. Excessive oil viscosity: The viscosity of the oil is closely related to its quality. The higher the viscosity, the better the oil's resistance to high temperatures. However, higher viscosity is not always better; you should use oil that matches your engine. 3. Insufficient oil quantity: This reduces the oil pump's output or causes it to fail to pump oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. 4. Clogged oil filter: When the oil filter is clogged and not circulating, the bypass valve on its base opens, allowing oil to enter the main oil passage without filtration. If the opening pressure of the bypass valve is set too high or too low, the oil pump's pressure will rise or fall, which can also cause the warning light to come on.
