Buick engine power reduction, can still drive for a short time, but runs relatively slow. The reasons for power reduction are as follows: Oil and electrical circuit failure: poor oil flow, blocked intake, resulting in too lean or too rich mixture; ignition timing too late or contact gap too small or too large; engine exhaust pipe leakage; high-voltage distributor wire leakage or detachment, distributor socket leakage or cross-fire; distributor cam uneven wear or spark plug excessive carbon deposits, cracking and leakage. Insufficient cylinder pressure: cylinder gasket not sealed, burned; valve seat burned, not sealed or detached; valve spring too soft and not working properly; piston ring stuck or misaligned; excessive piston-cylinder clearance.

What does a car facelift mean?

A car facelift refers to a model that undergoes minor changes based on the original version, while its overall performance remains unchanged compared to the original model. Typically, a car facelift involves slight adjustments, corrections, and improvements in engine power matching, updates to the exterior, interior, and configurations, without major changes to the core technology of the vehicle. Car facelifts generally occur in three stages: early, mid-term, and late. The early stage mainly addresses and fixes issues that arise after the new car's release, which is essential. The mid-term facelift usually involves recalibrating the car's engine performance, such as increasing horsepower, enlarging wheel rims, or even adding some equipment. The late-stage facelift refers to the final one or two years before a model is due for a complete redesign, where a major facelift occurs, often with significant changes to the exterior.

What is the problem with the clutch noise in BYD Song?

BYD Song clutch noise may be caused by wear or jamming of the release bearing, looseness of the release lever pins and pin holes due to wear, or looseness of the transmission pins and pin holes due to wear. The following is an introduction to the clutch: 1. Classification: Clutches are divided into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches. 2. Principle: The clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, pressure plates, and power output shafts, located between the engine and the transmission. It is used to transmit the torque stored on the engine flywheel to the transmission to ensure that the vehicle delivers an appropriate amount of driving force and torque to the driving wheels under different driving conditions, belonging to the category of the powertrain. During semi-engagement, the power input end and the power output end of the clutch are allowed to have a speed difference, which means that an appropriate amount of power is transmitted through this speed difference.
