New Sylphy's heavy steering wheel may be caused by low tire pressure or steering gear failure. The following are the specific reasons for a heavy steering wheel: Low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the road surface, leading to greater friction and making steering more difficult, resulting in a heavy steering wheel, which is not conducive to driving safety. Toe-in problem: Toe-in can also affect the car's steering. The concept of toe-in is quite complex, but simply put, it helps the steering wheels automatically return to the center, ensuring the car can drive straight stably. Therefore, issues in this aspect can also cause a heavy steering wheel. Steering gear or power steering pump failure: The steering gear and power steering pump also affect the car's steering. Any failure in these two critical components can make steering difficult. Issues such as universal joints, chassis suspension stabilizer bars, or plain bearings should not be overlooked.

What to Do If the Coolant Level Is Low?

If the coolant level is below the minimum line at normal temperature, you can add more coolant. Here are more relevant details: 1. When adding coolant, do not exceed the maximum level. If the coolant level decreases within two years, there is no need to replace it; you can simply continue to add more. 2. The composition of the added coolant should match the coolant currently in use. Avoid using water as a substitute unless absolutely necessary. 3. In an emergency, if no coolant is available, you can use soft water (i.e., purified water) as a temporary replacement. Hard water may cause scale buildup, which can clog the water jacket over time. 4. It is best to choose the coolant type suitable for your specific car model, as using the wrong type may cause damage to the vehicle.

What are the methods for carbon deposit cleaning?

For carbon deposit cleaning, it can be carried out under the following conditions: 1. Throttle valve carbon deposits: The throttle valve is a device located at the top of the combustion system that controls the intake air volume. Due to its working environment and nature, carbon deposits may form on this component. The most common cleaning method for throttle valve carbon deposits is to remove the throttle valve, clean both sides with carburetor cleaner, and then wipe off the decomposed carbon deposits with a cotton cloth. 2. Internal engine carbon deposits: Internal engine carbon deposits mainly appear on the intake and exhaust valves and the pistons in the combustion chamber. The best cleaning method is to find an experienced technician to perform a machine wash, which is more cost-effective and cleaner than using additives. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the air filter are essential, and the use of low-quality gasoline should be avoided.

Which Type of Car is Suitable for ECU Tuning?

Turbocharged engine cars are suitable for ECU tuning. Relevant details are as follows: ECU Composition: The ECU consists of a microcontroller, memory, input/output interfaces (I/O), analog-to-digital converters (A/D), as well as shaping, driving, and other large-scale integrated circuits. ECU Functions: The ECU generally has self-diagnosis and protection functions. When a system failure occurs, it can automatically record fault codes in RAM and take protective measures to read substitute programs from the inherent programs to maintain engine operation. At the same time, these fault messages will be displayed on the dashboard and remain illuminated, allowing the owner to promptly identify issues and drive the car to a repair facility for handling.
