Can Engine Cylinder Scuffing Be Covered by Insurance? The causes of engine cylinder scuffing are as follows: Failure to perform timely car maintenance: Engine oil effectively reduces the friction generated during engine gear operation, thereby protecting the engine. If maintenance is neglected for a long time, the friction during engine operation will increase significantly, making cylinder scuffing more likely to occur. Excessively high engine coolant temperature: When the coolant temperature is too high, the engine cannot be effectively cooled, leading to continuous expansion and deformation. The tolerances between components gradually increase, naturally resulting in engine cylinder scuffing. Excessive carbon buildup in the engine: A large amount of carbon deposits can cause some carbon to be carried along during piston movement within the cylinder, ultimately increasing the friction between the piston and the cylinder, which can lead to cylinder scuffing.

Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Decelerating a Manual Transmission Car?

When decelerating a manual transmission car, you do not need to press the clutch. However, during driving, when braking, each gear must ensure it is above the required speed; otherwise, you need to press the clutch to prevent stalling. The functions of the clutch include: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the car for a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and the gearbox for shifting gears; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impacts from the engine to prolong the lifespan of transmission gears. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When the inner ring is fixed, the outer ring can rotate freely clockwise as the wedges do not lock; 2. When the outer ring rotates counterclockwise, the wedges lock, preventing the outer ring from rotating.

What Causes the Sudden Failure of Magotan's Auto Start-Stop Function?

Here are the reasons why the Magotan's auto start-stop function suddenly stops working: 1. The battery charge is too low or the voltage is insufficient. During engine shutdown, components like the engine cooling fan and air conditioning require power supply to operate. 2. The engine coolant temperature is either too high or too low. 3. The vehicle has not reached the state set by the driver. When the air conditioning is on in summer, if the engine is turned off, the air conditioning compressor stops working. If the difference between the in-car temperature and the set temperature is too large, the auto start-stop system will restart the engine. 4. The start-stop function is turned off.
