[2020] Small P Maintenance Records

September 16, 2024

The balance in 2020 is insufficient, and it is more than a year since Xiao P’s last benefit (2019 Maintenance Record www.xcar.com.cn/bbs/viewthread.php? tid=93494718), the kilometers are still not much, about 6K +. In this way, it is time for full synthesis to be replaced. By the way, I’ll solve a few minor problems: the dust cover of the shock absorber that has been aging and broken, the brake fluid that has been in use for six years, and the suspected deviation at high speed.
Oh, there is also an accidental fault: the cold car ignition does not respond. There is no reaction when turning the key and clicking. It takes two or three times to get on the car smoothly. Because it was an accidental failure, we should observe it for a while and not rush to deal with it.
By the way, the current price of SSSS parts has been reduced to a certain extent, and the main cost is still working hours. Overall, it is still within the acceptable range. So there is no need to talk about SSSS color change. The specific choice depends on the individual.

Small P on the shelves

The master started to open and tear it down

Check the battery and it seems okay. It lasts another year.
The sporadic ignition failure should not be a battery problem.

There is no problem with the rear suspension, but the dust cover is also aging and has not broken yet, so let’s just leave it alone.

The whole chassis is complete. The master is removing the guard.

The left and right cages are fine

Full synthesis of 6K + in one year

Since there were about 2L left last time, I took two bottles of 1L directly this time. The price of SSSS was 122 per bottle.
As a result, the master said that only one bottle was enough, and the remaining bottle was returned.
Personally, I remember that the oil filling volume of the EA111 should be 3.5L. Didn’t the old oil be drained?
The master said, no, it’s almost done!?
Okay, save some money. If it’s not enough, I’ll buy it later. The EA111 doesn’t burn engine oil.

The starter motor may be the culprit of accidental ignition failure

Brand new front suspension dust cover, 19 yuan each.

Front suspension opening and dismantling

The removed front suspension is next to the SSSS special tool, which is used to clamp the spring

Since the front suspension has been removed, why not replace this thing…
Everyone knows what Volkswagen car owners know: flat bearings. The list is called ball bearings, a 99.
It’s been twelve years, but it’s still okay. It sounds a little bit occasionally, but you can’t hear it if you don’t take it seriously.

Stuck spring, replace flat bearing and dust sleeve

Change brake fluid,
It actually took 6 years to check, haha, it’s worth it!

One bottle of brake oil is 83, and a total of two bottles are needed.
Nowadays, machines are used to pump oil and fill oil, which is simpler and faster than manual work, and it will not be everywhere.
Brake oil is corrosive to a certain extent and will cause permanent discoloration when it comes into contact with car paint.

There will still be some leakage from one of the branch pumps

Switch front and rear tires

Finally, there is four-wheel positioning,
In the past two years, I feel that running at high speed has turned a little to the left. This time, the front suspension is opened and demolished together.

The master said that there was basically no problem, and the deviation may also be caused by the steering wheel being not aligned enough and the old electro-hydraulic power supply being too heavy.
This time, the main thing is to adjust the front toe…
