Antifreeze can be ignited by fire. The boiling point of antifreeze is above 110 degrees Celsius. When the temperature reaches 110 degrees Celsius, antifreeze will catch fire if ignited. Functions of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion year-round. Composition of Antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally divided into three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water. How to Choose Antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are freezing point and boiling point. The market offers antifreeze with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. It is generally advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.

How to Fix Fluctuating Idle Speed on Mazda Atenza?

The solution for unstable idle speed (fluctuating between high and low) on Mazda Atenza involves adjusting the throttle valve and idle speed to ensure the engine operates at the minimum stable RPM. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Throttle Valve: A controllable valve regulating air intake into the engine, available in two types – traditional cable-operated and electronic throttle. After entering the intake manifold, air mixes with gasoline to form combustible mixture for combustion work. Connected to the air filter upstream and engine block downstream, throttle cleanliness significantly impacts acceleration responsiveness. 2. Vehicle Idle Speed: Refers to an operational state where the engine runs without load (neutral gear engaged). The rotational speed during idle is called idle RPM, adjustable via throttle valve modification. Idle represents engine operation without power output.

What Causes the Steering Gear Failure in Audi A6?

There is a large amount of air in the power steering system, causing abnormal car steering. Loosening occurs at the connection points in the power steering system, leading to steering fluid leakage. Excessive wear of the stator and rotor inside the steering pump causes irregular oil movement, resulting in abnormal noise from the steering gear.
