Car air conditioning filters can be replaced by yourself. When driving with the air conditioning on, the car draws in external air into the cabin. However, the air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without an air conditioning filter to filter these particles, once they enter the cabin, they not only pollute the car's air conditioning system and reduce the performance of the cooling system, but also cause allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and discomfort from odors, all of which affect driving safety. A high-quality air filter can absorb fine particles, reduce respiratory discomfort, minimize irritation for allergy sufferers, enhance driving comfort, and protect the air conditioning cooling system.

How to Insert the Cylinder Wires in the Correct Order for Chery A516?

Chery A516 cylinder wire sequence is 1342. Introduction to Chery A516: It retains the exterior design and technology of the A520. The Chery A516 utilizes a B-segment car chassis, resulting in an oversized body measuring 4552mm × 1750mm × 1483mm. Combined with the streamlined "Sky-line" design, the vehicle exudes an extraordinary presence. Introduction to Cylinder Wires: Cylinder wires, also known as spark plug wires, distributor wires, or high-voltage ignition wires, are the cables that transmit the high voltage generated by the ignition coil to the spark plugs. They are an essential component of traditional ignition systems, serving as the medium through which the ignition coil delivers its energy to the spark plugs.

What coolant does the Discovery Sport use?

The Discovery Sport uses a coolant composed of 50% water and 50% antifreeze that meets the Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.651.5003. It is recommended to choose a coolant with anti-corrosion and anti-scale properties. Anti-corrosion: Corrosion in the cooling system can cause failures in the radiator's lower tank, fuel injector sleeves, cooling pipes, joints, and radiator tubes. Additionally, corrosion products can clog the pipes, leading to engine overheating or even complete failure. If corrosion causes perforation, coolant leakage into the combustion chamber or crankcase can cause severe damage. When coolant or water mixes with engine oil, it creates sludge and deposits, weakening lubrication and causing valves, hydraulic valve lifters, and piston rings to stick. Therefore, coolants contain a certain amount of anti-corrosion additives to prevent corrosion in the cooling system. Anti-scale: The coolant should minimize scale formation during circulation to prevent clogging of the pipes and maintain the cooling system's heat dissipation efficiency.

What is the fuel consumption of the Nissan Tiida with air conditioning on?

The combined fuel consumption of the Nissan Tiida is 5.3-6.0L/100km. There are currently 4 models of the Nissan Tiida on sale. The manual LeDong version has a combined fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The CVT ZhiXing, CVT KuDong, and CVT ZhiZun versions have a combined fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption values, measured under the NEDC test procedure. Actual fuel consumption is higher, ranging from 6.6-7.2L/100km. Here are 5 tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly stomping on the accelerator as this can multiply fuel consumption. Gentle acceleration and braking, early braking: While driving, press the accelerator lightly to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent vehicle shuddering, making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be improved by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the manufacturer's recommended level. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units relative to standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular vehicle maintenance or checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (which can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases). Regularly check and replace dirty air filters, and clean or replace fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle bodies at recommended intervals. Close windows while driving. Open windows increase wind resistance, which requires more power and consequently increases fuel consumption.

How to Use Brake Fluid?

Brake fluid usage instructions: Different types of brake fluid should not be mixed, as this will reduce the braking effectiveness of the vehicle; avoid mixing gasoline, diesel, or engine oil into the brake fluid. Automotive brake fluid is the liquid used in hydraulic braking systems, which must be chemically inert, unaffected by high temperatures, and should not cause corrosion, softening, or swelling to metals and rubber. Common types include DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5. The volume of brake fluid changes with temperature, so the brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a vent hole. The air drawn in through this hole may contain moisture or impurities, which can be absorbed or dissolved by the brake fluid. Consequently, brake fluid containing moisture will have a lower boiling point.

How big is the trunk space of the Jetour X70?

Jetour X70 trunk size measurements: minimum depth is 300mm, 980mm with the third row seats folded down, 1870mm with the second row folded down, width is 1000-1320mm, and height is 770mm. Function of the trunk: Whether it's a sedan or a hatchback, there is a certain amount of space at the rear of the car. The main purpose of this area is to absorb and buffer part of the collision energy in rear-end accidents, which is particularly effective in small to medium-sized accidents, helping to release and mitigate the force of the collision, thereby reducing or minimizing passenger injuries. Introduction to the trunk: The trunk typically contains the car's spare tire, vehicle emergency kit, onboard tool kit, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, car refrigerator, and the emergency fuel tank release cable. Some high-end models also have the starter battery located in the trunk.
