I went to the neighboring city (70 km) Angarsk. -42. On the highway, the brake pedal froze, the brakes were jammed (I came to the conclusion that in the summer it is necessary to completely change the brake fluid). The suspension is frozen... It's warm in the car)

Hello!Since 2020, when there were some problems with the EFI unit (successful replacement of the EFI unit solved the problem), the fuel injection pump had to be removed and installed and this was done in the service (which I have already regretted more than once and it had unpleasant consequences).
One of the consequences: error 21 - feedback system/fuel injection timing control.
This error has been living with El since 2020. and it doesn't go away...
Reading the bible. I came across an interesting point “checking and adjusting the timing of fuel injection”. I read and find that the torque is adjusted using a dial indicator screwed into the injection pump hole for pumping air.. Communicating with other QD32eti owners who visited the services, they told me that no one in the service makes this adjustment using the indicator, just like me in 2020 did not adjust according to the hour indicator..

May you he successful with your challenge! I look forward to seeing your results
 
Post of anger.
In 2019, I bought new Goodyear Ice Arctic winter tires, made in Germany.
March 2024 - 80% of the spikes are lost, all 4!!!!! the wheels are herniated, the cord is coming out in places....
This is the biggest disappointment... But I wanted to buy Bridgestone, but I bought Goodyear......
Because of the sanctions, I can afford to buy Chinese tires (with which our market is simply oversaturated, as well as their cars), or used Bridgestone, Dunlop, since new tires from famous brands are very inadequately priced...
 
I'm no expert on tyres, especially those types of winter tyre, what lifespan given your country and conditions would you expect to get from them?
My 1st instinct is that 5 years is not too bad for a tyre to last?
