BMW B48 connecting rod bolt torque needs to be tightened to 8-9 kg, connecting rod 5-6 kg, and crankshaft 10 kg. From the middle to both sides and then fully loosen: First, tighten from the middle to both sides, initially to 50% of the final torque, then fully loosen. From the middle to both sides: Then tighten from the middle to both sides to 50%. Tighten the cylinder head bolts: Finally, follow the method of first middle then both sides to tighten the cylinder head bolts. Do not overtighten, as this can cause excessive stress on the bolts, not only leading to stripped internal threads but also potentially breaking the bolts directly.

Where is the window control module of the Haima S5 located?

In the glove compartment on the passenger side of the car, open it to see two plugs, which is the body control module. Damage to this module can cause some electrical components in the car to malfunction, such as lights, wipers, window lifts, door locks, etc. If damaged, it is necessary to consult a dealer promptly for inspection and repair. Below is related information: 1. Definition: The Body Controller (English: body-control-module, abbreviated as BCM), also known as the body computer (body-computer), in automotive engineering refers to the electronic control unit (ECU) used to control the body's electrical systems, and is one of the important components of a car. Common functions of the body controller include controlling power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, headlights, turn signals, anti-theft locking systems, central locking, defrosting devices, etc. The body controller can be connected to other vehicle ECUs via a bus. 2. Role: The important task of the body controller is to simplify operations and reduce manual operations by occupants to avoid distracting them. The automotive body control system includes vehicle safety, comfort control, and information communication systems, mainly used to enhance the safety, comfort, and convenience of the vehicle.

How Much Horsepower Does a Golf GTI Gain from Stage 1 Tuning?

Original Horsepower: 220 HP, 350 NM; Stage 1 Tuning: 301 HP, 493 NM; Increase: 81 HP, 143 NM, which means a Golf GTI can gain 81 HP from Stage 1 tuning. Below is the relevant information: 1. ECU Stage 1 Tuning: ECU Stage 1 tuning involves adjusting parameters such as ignition timing or fuel injection within the limits allowed by the original components, without modifying other hardware. Stage 1 tuning can reduce gear-shift hesitation in some small-displacement cars and does not cause significant damage to the vehicle. 2. Considerations: The ECU must be configured according to the car manufacturer's requirements. Factors such as ignition timing, duration, fuel-air mixture concentration, and the coordination of moving parts directly affect the engine's output power. Automakers typically design ECU programs conservatively, taking into account various factors like climate, fuel quality, road conditions, and driving habits in the target market. This ensures the vehicle can reach its maximum lifespan even without regular maintenance. As a result, there is significant room for ECU upgrades, with the primary goal being to optimize the engine's performance. Generally, after an ECU upgrade, vehicles can experience a power increase ranging from 5% to 30%, depending on the model.

Where to Check Tire Pressure?

If the vehicle is equipped with a built-in tire pressure monitoring system, the tire pressure can be viewed on the car's dashboard. For vehicles without this feature, there will be a tire pressure warning. Typically, the standard tire pressure can be found in the user manual, on the driver's door (next to the car's B-pillar), or on the fuel tank cap. Below are the hazards of overinflated or underinflated tires: 1. Overinflated Tires: 1. Increases friction between the tire and the ground, reducing tire grip and affecting braking performance and driving comfort. 2. Accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, reducing its lifespan. 3. Increases body vibration, affecting other car components; increases tire wear and decreases elasticity. 4. Accelerates tire aging, reduces wear resistance, and increases the risk of blowouts. 2. Underinflated Tires: 1. Increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Makes the steering wheel heavier, affecting driving. 3. Tires are prone to overheating, increasing the risk of blowouts. 4. Expands the tire body, making it more likely for cracks to appear on the inner and outer sides, accelerating rubber aging and tire wear.

What Causes the Unstable Idle Speed Fluctuation When the Air Conditioner is On in a Focus?

The unstable idle speed when the air conditioner is on in a Focus is caused by oil accumulation and carbon deposits in the throttle body. If there is oil or carbon buildup in the throttle body, it is necessary to promptly visit a 4S shop or repair shop to clean the throttle body. Below are the relevant details: 1. Specific Causes: A clogged intake tract can lead to idle speed fluctuations, and carbon deposits or oil in the throttle body are the most common causes of unstable idle speed. Carbon deposits in the throttle body affect its opening, which in turn affects the air intake volume, causing the engine speed to fluctuate erratically after a cold start, accompanied by strong vibrations. 2. Precautions: Severe oil accumulation or carbon deposits in the throttle body, including a dirty intake tract, can make it difficult to start the car in cold weather. A dirty throttle body requires cleaning, which is considered a routine maintenance task. Spark plugs can also accumulate carbon deposits, and cleaning can restore their activity. However, some spark plugs may lose performance as they near the end of their service life. Weak sparks from spark plugs in certain cylinders can affect the car's performance. Generally, faulty spark plugs can cause the car to exhibit "misfire" symptoms.

How to Set Up the Reversing Camera on BMW 3 Series?

The reversing camera for BMW can be configured in the factory settings menu under the general settings on the display screen. Below are the functional features of the BMW 3 Series reversing camera: 1. The system supports a wide voltage input range of 11-32V and can connect up to 4 camera signals, making it widely applicable for various vehicles. It is suitable for unstable cold-start power supply voltages, features strong anti-interference capabilities, and includes built-in overheating and overcurrent protection. 2. It supports 4-screen split functionality, allowing users to choose between single-screen and 4-screen views. 3. It includes 4 sets of forced start signals, labeled as CAM1, CAM2, CAM3, and CAM4, with reversing priority. In any state, the system automatically switches to the reversing view when reversing and restores the original state after reversing is completed, achieving automatic wake-up for reversing. The priority order is CAM1 > CAM2 > CAM3 > CAM4. 4. Users can individually set the 4-screen view to mirror or non-mirror mode. 5.
