Replace spark plugs, repair wheel hubs, and do it yourself

September 4, 2024

The last of the 14 E300L models is naturally aspirated V6https://www.xcar.com.cn/bbs/viewthread.php? Tid=20832971 It has been driving nearly 80,000 kilometers in nine years. The farthest driving has been to Thailand and Hainan. Needless to say, in western Sichuan, a wiper kettle broke during the warranty period. It is estimated that it was damaged by low-temperature ice accumulation due to the failure of anti-freezing wiper water in Aba Prefecture. Fortunately, I made a claim and didn’t spend money. When I checked out the car, the after-sales service company said that the belt was a little noisy, so I replaced it with a new set of free. I replaced a pair of brake pads and main battery. I also had a rear shock-absorbing dust cover. I never encountered any common problems. The frame was picked up and checked that there were no leaks anywhere, so it was easier to self-priming.
Recently, I felt that the fuel consumption was a little high, the wheel paint was rusty, and the driving recorder had been used for 8-9 years. It was time to retire. There was nothing to buy on the Double Eleven, but I always wanted to spend some money to feel comfortable, so I bought NGK’s dual platinum spark plug. The installation service bought by Jingdong Car Maintenance cost 10 yuan each. There is nothing to say about the process. I just used an endoscope to check the carbon deposits. There was carbon deposits but it was not serious.
It seems that the spark plug is a little ablated but not serious, and it seems that the valve cover gasket is also leaking a little.

After the tires in the car wash shop were corroded by liquid and the edges were scratched, a large area of rust was caused, which affected the appearance. In the past, when I wanted to renovate them, the merchants asked for 3-400 each, so I would just use them. Nowadays, the Double 11 has a discount for 200 each, so it took me half a day to renovate them all.

The 800 yuan is still worth it

The driving recorder forgot to take photos, so we won’t post photos here. It’s dedicated to the 1080 dual-camera hidden car in front of 4K before 600, which is extremely cost-effective!!
The weather is good today, so I drive to the river and wash my car myself
