Yes, oil leakage can cause engine oil combustion and car self-ignition. The introduction of car engine oil is as follows: 1. The harm of oil leakage: Excessive oil injection during driving, or the replacement of non-genuine oil filters due to installation problems leading to oil leakage, oil splashing on high-temperature parts such as the three-way catalytic converter and exhaust pipe, causing combustion and then burning the fan and surrounding plastic parts, which will lead to car fire. 2. The composition and function of engine oil: High-quality engine oil is a finished product with a variety of engine protection functions. The formula already contains a variety of additives, including anti-wear agents, and the most important thing about engine oil is the balance of the formula to ensure the full play of various performances.

What are the reasons for Mercedes-Benz air suspension failure?

Mercedes-Benz air suspension failures are generally caused by leaks in the air suspension system or its connecting components; various sensor failures such as body height sensors and acceleration sensors; damaged pneumatic shock absorbers; air compressor malfunctions; or faults in the air suspension control unit/system power circuit. Working principle of air suspension: The air suspension system mainly consists of a control computer, air compressor, pressure storage tank, pneumatic front and rear shock absorbers, and an air distributor. Functions of air suspension: Body level control, body level adjustment, and ADS function work by using the air compressor to generate compressed air, which is then delivered to the air chambers of the springs and shock absorbers. Height sensors are installed near both front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these height sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and controls the compressor and exhaust valves to compress or extend the springs, thereby achieving shock absorption effects and altering the vehicle's height.

What are the precautions for spark plug installation?

Precautions for installing and replacing spark plugs: When removing the high-voltage distributor wires, mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. During removal, check for external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: After removing the spark plug, observe its condition based on the following appearance colors. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is contaminated with oil or deposits but not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning. If the spark plug is severely damaged—showing signs of blistering, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes—identify the cause of the damage, resolve the issue, and replace the spark plug. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates incorrect heat range selection, a rich air-fuel mixture, or oil leakage.

What to do if the ETC is not responding?

The solutions for an unresponsive ETC are: 1. Do not drive too fast when passing through the ETC lane; 2. Check if the ETC device has become loose, fallen off, or been self-disassembled, causing the anti-tamper switch to pop out, and reset all data if necessary; 3. Charge the ETC device; 4. Verify if it is the correct ETC card for the vehicle. Additional information: The installation method for ETC is: 1. Inspect the ETC card and OBU for any damage, press the anti-tamper button on the OBU, a red light will briefly illuminate, and the OLED screen will display "Please insert card," indicating the device is functioning properly; 2. Clean the front windshield, ensuring the glass surface is dry, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU, attach it to the installation position, and press firmly for 2 to 3 minutes; 3. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, inserting the chip into the device.

What causes an Audi A6L to roll back on a slope?

The reason for rolling back is that the clutch contact point is not lifted enough (the clutch is lifted too low), or the handbrake is released without giving enough throttle (the car's idle speed is too low to start the vehicle). Introduction to the Audi A6L: The Audi A6L is the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100 (code-named C3) introduced in 1988. The Audi A6L is a vehicle series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the German new A6 and serves as the successor to the A6. Power of the Audi A6L: The new A6L offers a choice of high and low power 2.0T inline four-cylinder engines and a 3.0T V6 engine. The 2.0T models are equipped with a 12V mild hybrid system, with the 40TFSI model delivering a maximum power of 140 kW (190 PS) and a peak torque of 320 N·m.

What Causes the Mercedes System to Stop Working?

Mercedes systems generally default to the parking assistance system. The reasons for the Mercedes parking assistance system stopping operation include the use of a temporary spare tire; damaged sensors or damaged bumpers; sensors being blocked by components installed on the vehicle, such as bumper covers; the vehicle being used to transport loads exceeding its capacity, etc. How the Parking Assistance System Works: The parking assistance system includes ultrasonic sensors embedded in the front and rear bumpers, each with a diameter of approximately 15mm. The ultrasonic detection signals emitted by the sensors reflect when they encounter obstacles. Upon receiving the reflected signals, the sensors promptly feed them back to the system for distance calculation, alerting the driver to the distance between the vehicle and obstacles outside the field of view through sound, video, etc. The Function of the Parking Assistance System: The parking assistance system can detect obstacles outside the field of view and inform the driver of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles through certain signals. Whether it's children playing behind the car or low-lying objects such as stone pillars, fences, or fire hydrants, the system can detect them immediately.
