Engine oil leakage should not be ignored. The causes and solutions for engine oil leakage are as follows: 1. Loose screws, damaged gaskets, or improper installation can cause oil leakage around the valve cover, requiring timely tightening of the screws; 2. Oil leakage from the front and rear crankshaft oil seals due to improper installation, necessitating reinstallation of the oil seals; 3. Oil leakage from the lubricating oil filter, pressure relief valve, sensor, etc., caused by improper installation, requiring replacement of gaskets and reinstallation; 4. Loose bolts, cracks or holes in the oil pan can also lead to engine oil leakage, requiring replacement of the oil pan.

How to Start the Bin Yue?

Methods to start the Bin Yue: 1. Press the one-button start key once, wait for the ACC light to turn on, then press the start key again; 2. When the one-button start key light is on, it indicates the car is already started. After waiting for the car to complete self-inspection, step on the brake and press the one-button start key to start the car. The Bin Yue also supports remote start, but this feature is only available for the top-tier model. The Bin Yue is the first SUV model under Geely's BMA architecture. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. In terms of configuration, the Bin Yue is equipped with rich intelligent safety features and L2 autonomous driving assistance technology.

Does the Auto Start-Stop System Damage the Engine?

Auto start-stop systems do not damage the engine. Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop systems have enhanced starters and batteries, and some may even include an auxiliary battery. The primary cause of engine performance degradation is wear, with over 50% of engine wear occurring during cold starts. Auto start-stop involves hot starts, where the engine relies mainly on oil film lubrication for internal components. The duration of auto start-stop is very brief, and the oil pumped up by the oil pump does not completely drain back, leaving a significant amount of oil on the parts. Therefore, frequent starts do not cause substantial wear to the engine. It is recommended to use high-grade oil for vehicles equipped with auto start-stop systems.

Can the Tharu use 92 gasoline?

Tharu cannot use 92 gasoline. The factory-recommended fuel grade is 95 (97) gasoline. You can check the vehicle's user manual for detailed explanations, or find the fuel standard reminder inside the fuel tank cap. If 92 gasoline is added to the Tharu, the dashboard is likely to display a fault light, and the vehicle may experience knocking. The Tharu is a model released by SAIC Volkswagen. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm and an unladen ground clearance of 182mm.

How to Drive During the Break-in Period of a New Car?

Driving methods during the break-in period of a new car: 1. Pre-heat the cold engine. Properly warming up the car allows the oil to lubricate the engine internals effectively, reducing wear; 2. Shift gears promptly while driving, especially for manual transmission cars. During the break-in period, it's necessary to change gears appropriately to avoid situations like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM; 3. New cars require timely maintenance during the break-in period. Driving a new car requires the owner to familiarize themselves with aspects such as the car's brakes, throttle, shock absorption, steering force, and gear-shifting logic. Understanding the car's characteristics is crucial for safe driving.

Is it normal for car exhaust to emit white smoke in winter?

It is normal for car exhaust to emit white smoke in winter. Due to the low outdoor temperature in winter, when high-temperature exhaust passes through the catalytic converter and muffler and is expelled, it encounters cold air, resulting in this color due to the heat exchange effect. The white smoke will disappear once the vehicle's temperature rises or the ambient temperature changes. However, if white smoke is accompanied by abnormal operation of the generator or heating system, or if the engine warning light comes on after a cold start, caution is advised. It is recommended to continue observing the color of the exhaust after the temperature rises. If the issue persists, it is mainly due to water participating in the combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Common causes include water in the fuel tank participating in combustion or a damaged cylinder gasket causing coolant to leak into the cylinder. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a repair facility to test fuel quality and conduct a leak test on the engine cooling system.

What Causes the Chassis Noise After Parking in Neutral Gear?

The reasons for chassis noise after parking in neutral gear: 1. Cooling sound of the three-way catalytic converter, whose normal operating temperature is between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius. After turning off the engine, its operation gradually stops, and the temperature decreases, causing internal metal components to expand and contract, resulting in noise; 2. Turbo cooling sound. The exhaust gas temperature reaches six to seven hundred degrees Celsius, accelerating the rapid rotation of the turbo and generating friction heat. After turning off the engine, the thermal expansion and contraction are very noticeable, leading to noise; 3. Noise caused by uneven cooling of the engine. After driving for a while, the engine temperature is very high. After turning off the engine, the temperature of various components drops, and thermal expansion and contraction cannot occur at a uniform rate, causing gaps between internal metal components to contract due to cooling and friction, resulting in noise.
