You can add windshield washer fluid right after stopping and turning off the car. It can be added at any time, as it has no relation to whether the engine is running or not. Windshield washer fluid is formed when liquid water is rapidly cooled to 165K. If supercooled water continues to cool and reaches -110°C, it becomes an extremely viscous solid, known as windshield washer fluid, which is the common term for automotive windshield cleaning solution. It is a consumable item in vehicle use. Automotive windshield washer fluid is commonly referred to as glass water. When adding windshield washer fluid, there are a few things to note. First, dilution of the washer fluid. Generally, windshield washer fluid does not require dilution, but if it is a concentrated type, it needs to be diluted. Solid windshield washer fluid also requires dilution. Second, never use tap water. Tap water contains many impurities, which over time can adhere to the rubber hoses, affecting the normal spraying function. Long-term use may increase friction between the glass surface and the wiper blades, causing scratches on the glass. Plain water can only clean dust superficially and lacks the ability to thoroughly remove dirt and insect residue from the windshield. When you notice that the transparency of your car's front windshield has diminished, spraying some windshield washer fluid can restore a clear and bright view. Especially during nighttime driving, dust on the glass can scatter light, making it necessary to spray windshield washer fluid to maintain the windshield in optimal transparency.

How to Replace the Fuel Filter on a Roewe 750?

It is recommended to replace the fuel filter of the Roewe 750 at a professional repair shop, and it is not advisable for car owners to do it themselves to avoid damaging vehicle components. The fuel filter is used to filter impurities in gasoline. The gasoline we use daily inevitably contains some impurities, and if these impurities enter the cylinders without being filtered, they can affect the engine's lifespan and even clog the fuel supply lines. The Roewe 750 is the first mid-to-high-end sedan product mass-produced in China with authentic British car design and technology genes. Upholding the noble British temperament, the classic styling of the Roewe 750 originates from British royal heritage, exuding elegance and prestige.

Window glass lifter not receiving power?

First: Check if the fuse is intact. Second: Inspect the control switch. Third: Examine whether the window lifter motor is burned out. Generally, these steps can solve the problem. Commonly referred to as the window regulator switch assembly, the power required for the other three window switches must first pass through the "window controller assembly." If it's broken, of course, the windows won't move. A technician just needs to check it. This situation is likely due to a faulty lifter switch. Try replacing it. It could be that the control switch at the window is broken, or the wiring is disconnected, with the latter being more probable since it's unlikely that all three switches would fail simultaneously.

How to use autohold?

autohold usage method: When the autohold function is activated, after decelerating and bringing the vehicle to a complete stop, there is no need to keep pressing the brake pedal. The vehicle will automatically apply precise braking force through the slope sensor controlled by the system. To resume driving, simply press the accelerator lightly, and the vehicle will automatically release the brake and move forward. The purpose of the autohold automatic parking function is to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward, making it particularly useful on slopes and during frequent starts and stops. The automatic parking system, combined with the electronic parking brake, forms an intelligent braking control system that integrates temporary braking during driving with long-term parking braking, all controlled electronically for parking brake functionality.

How to Adjust Valve Clearance on a Motorcycle?

Use a wrench to loosen the bolts on the engine valve; turn the bolts counterclockwise to remove them; take off the bolts to inspect the valve; then use a small wrench to rotate the valve. Leave a gap so the board can enter; Insert the anti-slip plate into the valve baffle and adjust it inward and outward; move the valve outward with the piston, adjust the valve management, and set the motorcycle's valve clearance. A ruler can be used for this. The intake valve clearance is generally 0.06mm, while the exhaust valve clearance is typically 0.08mm. If unsure, consult a professional for adjustment. The valve is part of the engine's valve mechanism, which primarily consumes fuel through the interaction of valves and camshafts. The valve mechanism is crucial for engine performance.
