Carburetor cleaner and throttle body cleaner are not the same; one is used to clean the throttle body, while the other is used to clean the carburetor. Cleaning Areas for Carburetor Cleaner: Carburetor cleaner is primarily used to remove surface corrosion, oxidation, and other issues on the carburetor. It features fast and thorough degreasing, leaves no residue, has excellent solubility, is safe and non-toxic, highly efficient and environmentally friendly, easy to use, and improves work efficiency. Cleaning Areas for Throttle Body Cleaner: Throttle body cleaner is mainly used to clean the throttle body in vehicles. Excessive sludge buildup in the throttle body can lead to poor engine acceleration and increased fuel consumption. Using throttle body cleaner can remove carbon deposits, improve air intake and fuel injection accuracy, enhance fuel efficiency, and extend engine lifespan.

Why is the car throttle not accelerating?

Reasons why the car throttle is not accelerating: 1. Fuel line blockage: First check if the fuel filter is clogged, whether the fuel pump pressure is sufficient, and if the fuel injector is blocked. 2. Exhaust system blockage: Check the three-way catalytic converter and whether there is any blockage in the entire exhaust pipe. 3. Possible excessive carbon buildup in the throttle: The idle position sensor or air flow meter may be damaged. Here are precautions for operating the car throttle: (1) When the vehicle is driving normally, the foot should not be placed on the clutch pedal. (2) While driving, minimize the time of semi-engagement to prevent burning out the clutch friction plate. (3) Do not release the clutch too abruptly. The first gear should be the slowest, while other forward gears should be slightly faster. When starting in first gear, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed. When shifting up, the clutch pedal only needs to be depressed until the clutch friction plate disengages; it does not need to be fully depressed again.

Can the rear seats of the new Sylphy be folded down?

New Sylphy's rear seats cannot be folded down. Here is more information about the space of the new Sylphy: 1. The Sylphy has obvious space advantages, with an overall spacious interior, especially larger legroom in the rear seats, though the lateral width is relatively narrow. 2. The Sylphy focuses on ride comfort, with integrated seats optimized for ergonomic design based on the human torso. Seats designed with this optimization feature continuous multi-curved surfaces, which allow for very limited folding and bending angles. Therefore, the folding function was abandoned as a trade-off. 3. The Sylphy boasts the largest rear seat space in its class, with a distance of up to 680 mm, and the interior reaches a maximum effective length of 1876 mm. Whether seated in the front or rear, passengers can easily and comfortably adjust to the optimal sitting position.

How often should the spark plugs of Volkswagen Sagitar be replaced?

Volkswagen Sagitar's spark plugs need to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. If the spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, it can cause various issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and most importantly, difficulty in starting, which affects the normal use of the vehicle. Spark plug replacement cycle: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be used as a reference for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps to replace spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, and remove the high-voltage wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing, 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 wires according to the firing order, and then secure the cover.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the hybrid Odyssey in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the hybrid Odyssey is 50 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the hybrid Odyssey can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The hybrid Odyssey uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.75L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 740km. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Why does the belt make a screeching noise when the air conditioning is turned on?

Because the contact surface between the belt and the pulley has become too smooth. Below is relevant information about car air conditioning: 1. Air conditioning layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have different layout methods. Currently, most cars widely use an integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system. Its layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal fan, and control mechanism together, collectively referred to as the air conditioning unit assembly. 2. Air conditioning components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Car air conditioning generally includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipes, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. Car air conditioning is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure pipelines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure pipelines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid pipelines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return pipelines, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.

How much weight can a regular car roof bear?

Generally, the pressure a regular car roof can bear is 1.5 times the weight of the car. Below are specific details about the damage caused by overloading: 1. Reduced braking performance: Increases the non-safe zone distance. There are many factors affecting a car's braking distance, among which changes in the car's load directly affect the length of the braking distance. Overloaded cars have increased inertia, leading to longer braking distances. The extension of the non-safe zone distance can easily lead to traffic accidents. 2. Shortens the lifespan of leaf springs: Reduces the vehicle's passing capability. Due to overloading, leaf springs are subjected to excessive force, and continuous bouncing during driving shortens their lifespan. Additionally, excessive load causes the vehicle to sink overall, reducing the distance from the ground and diminishing the car's passing ability. 3. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Overloading the car causes the tires to bear excessive weight and deform, while also increasing friction, which shortens the tire's lifespan.
