Exhaust cleaner cannot replace gasoline. It must be mixed with gasoline for use and cannot be used alone without gasoline because it is not a fuel and cannot provide power for the car. Cleaner is an auxiliary product that helps gasoline burn more completely, thereby improving the car's power, reducing energy consumption, removing carbon deposits, and lowering exhaust emissions. Precautions regarding exhaust cleaner: Some unscrupulous merchants may exaggerate the effects of exhaust cleaner, claiming that it can replace fuel. Do not be deceived. Moreover, the quality of exhaust cleaners varies. Adding poor-quality exhaust cleaner may even damage the car's engine. If the car owner can use and maintain the car properly, the car's exhaust system will not have issues, and there is no need to purchase exhaust cleaner. If exhaust problems occur, promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Do not add exhaust cleaner when the fuel tank is empty or the gasoline level is too low. First, add gasoline, then add the exhaust cleaner by pouring it directly into the fuel tank. Store away from fire sources and avoid direct sunlight. In case of fire, extinguish it with water. When initially cleaning carbon deposits, gradually increase the amount of cleaner added.

Does hitting the chassis of an electric car affect the vehicle?

Hitting the chassis of an electric car has minimal impact on the vehicle because the battery is located on the chassis, but it may affect the frame. Below are specific details about electric vehicles: 1. Introduction: Electric vehicles refer to cars that use electrical energy as the power source and are driven by electric motors. They belong to the category of new energy vehicles, including pure electric vehicles (BEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). 2. Differences: Compared to fuel-powered cars, the main differences in pure electric vehicles lie in four major components: the drive motor, speed controller, power battery, and onboard charger. Instead of gas stations, they rely on public ultra-fast charging stations. The quality differences of pure electric vehicles depend on these four components, and their value is also determined by the quality of these parts.

What is the structure of an AT transmission?

Automatic transmissions can be divided into two types: hydraulically controlled automatic transmissions and electronically controlled hydraulically controlled automatic transmissions. The hydraulically controlled automatic transmission mainly consists of a torque converter, gear transmission mechanism, hydraulic control system, and oil cooling system. Compared to the hydraulically controlled automatic transmission, the electronically controlled hydraulically controlled automatic transmission has an additional set of electronic control systems. More details about these two types of transmissions are as follows: 1. Torque Converter The torque converter is installed between the engine and the transmission, filled with ATF hydraulic oil, and serves to transmit torque, change torque, shift gears, and act as a clutch. The front end of the torque converter is connected to the engine starter ring gear, and the output component is connected to the input shaft of the planetary gear transmission. The engine's power is transmitted through the torque converter to the planetary gear transmission, achieving a smooth connection between the engine and the transmission, thereby reducing vibration in the engine's transmission mechanism and extending the service life of both the engine and the transmission. 2. Hydraulic Control System The hydraulic control system is the most important component of a hydraulically controlled automatic transmission. During vehicle operation, it automatically controls the engagement or disengagement of the clutch and the braking or releasing of the brake based on the position of the gearshift lever, the throttle opening, and the vehicle speed, thereby changing the power transmission path and automatically shifting gears. Additionally, it supplies oil to the torque converter and lubrication lines.

Which is More Afraid of Water: Electric Cars or Conventional Cars?

Electric cars are more afraid of water. Here are the specific details about electric cars: 1. The most water-sensitive part of electric cars: The circuits in the hood area require attention during daily use. Generally, pure electric vehicles undergo waterproofing treatment, especially for the circuits under the hood. Simple rain exposure does not significantly affect the wiring but can impact the car's paint. When driving in the rain, try to prevent water from entering the interior and avoid leaving the car in the rain for too long. After exposure to rain, it's necessary to dry the car promptly. 2. Storing electric cars in rainy weather: When storing a pure electric car in the rain, cover the vehicle's controller to prevent water ingress. Rain can also affect the car's paint. If possible, park in an underground garage or use a car cover. If the electric car has been exposed to water, wipe the battery and connectors clean to avoid short circuits during charging.

What Causes the Ticking Sound at Idle That Disappears When the Clutch is Depressed?

The reasons for the ticking sound at idle that disappears when the clutch is depressed are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of ticking at idle is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or weak spark plug firing can also cause this type of issue. The solution is to check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still notice the ticking sound at idle, it is recommended to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor for proper operation. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can also trigger this type of fault.

What does a yellow exclamation mark on the car indicate?

The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car's dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or faults, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a fault in the brake system or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in one of the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or check it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two different colors: yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the nearest repair point to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and seek professional help to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety. It is important to note that when the car is started, all lights will turn on for an automatic system check and will turn off after the check is completed. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is switched on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for inspection and repair to eliminate safety hazards.
