It is possible to replace only the rubber part of the wiper blade. For example, in a beam-type wiper, the rubber blade and a steel strip are inside. You need to remove the steel strip and replace it with a new rubber blade, then reinstall it in its original position. However, if the damage is extensive, a complete replacement may be necessary. Precautions for Wiper Usage: During daily use, exposure to summer sun and winter cold and rain can cause severe aging of the wiper blades, leading to issues such as incomplete cleaning and unusual noises. Generally, the lifespan of wiper blades is 6-12 months, and they should be replaced regularly to avoid impairing the driver's visibility. Wiper Maintenance: Purchase appropriate cleaning agents and regularly clean dirt from the wiper blades and residual grease from the windshield to ensure the wiper can clean effectively and maintain clear visibility. After prolonged use, the wiper blades should be replaced to prevent aging and hardening due to weather conditions, which could impair their functionality.

What are the common faults in engine cooling systems?

Common faults in engine cooling systems are as follows: Low exhaust temperature in the refrigeration system: Low exhaust pressure, although the phenomenon appears on the high-pressure side, the cause mostly originates from the low-pressure side. Refrigeration system experiencing liquid return: For small refrigeration systems using capillary tubes, excessive refrigerant charging can cause liquid return. High suction temperature in the refrigeration system: Insufficient refrigerant charge in the system or too small an expansion valve opening can lead to inadequate refrigerant circulation, resulting in less refrigerant entering the evaporator, high superheat, and consequently high suction temperature. Refrigeration system with liquid start-up: The phenomenon of violent foaming of lubricating oil in the compressor is called liquid start-up. Refrigeration system experiencing oil return: Oil shortage can cause severe lubrication deficiency. The root cause of oil shortage is not the amount or speed of oil running in the compressor, but poor oil return in the system. Evaporation temperature in the refrigeration system: Temperature greatly affects refrigeration efficiency. For every 1-degree decrease, 4% more power is required to produce the same cooling capacity. Therefore, appropriately increasing the evaporation temperature, when conditions permit, is beneficial for improving the efficiency of air conditioner refrigeration. Excessive exhaust temperature in the refrigeration system: The main reasons for excessively high exhaust temperature include high return gas temperature, large motor heating, high compression ratio, high condensing pressure, adiabatic index of the refrigerant, and improper refrigerant selection. Adding fluorine to the refrigeration system: When the amount of fluorine is small or its regulating pressure is low (or partially blocked), the valve cover (bellows) of the expansion valve, and even the liquid inlet, may frost; when the amount of fluorine is very small or almost none, there is no visible reaction on the expansion valve, only a slight hissing sound of airflow can be heard. Low suction temperature in the refrigeration system: The expansion valve opening is too large.

What engine is used in the Geely Boyue?

Geely Boyue's engine is produced by Geely Automobile itself, utilizing Volvo's technology, making it a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Geely Boyue is JLE-4G18TDC, a 1.8T version with a maximum power of 135kw/5500rpm and a maximum torque of 285Nm/1500-4000rpm. The 2.0L version has a maximum power of 104kw/6000rpm and a maximum torque of 178Nm/4000-4500rpm. For daily maintenance of the Geely Boyue's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Do You Need Snow Chains for Driving in Snowy Weather?

Snow chains are not always necessary for driving in snowy weather. Snow Chains: Snow chains are typically made of steel or rubber and provide anti-slip functionality. Based on their structure, snow chains can be divided into two types: one is a pre-connected cover-like chain, and the other consists of several separate chains installed in a cross pattern, which is simpler and cheaper but less convenient to install than the former. Principle of Snow Chains: The principle of snow chains is to concentrate the vehicle's weight onto several points of the chain, creating immense pressure that penetrates the snow and ice layer to reach the road surface, thereby increasing friction and enhancing the safety factor of the vehicle's movement.

Does the ETC device need charging?

ETC devices do require charging. For solar-powered ETC devices, you can park the vehicle under sunlight for several hours to charge the device. For ETC devices without solar panels, you can use a dedicated power cable connected to the cigarette lighter socket for charging. Currently, there are two power supply modes for ETC devices: one uses solar panels for charging, while the other employs wired charging. Both types of ETC electronic tags contain internal batteries. Solar-powered ETC devices don't require additional charging during normal driving, with their lithium batteries typically lasting 3 years under regular use. However, for those who don't frequently use ETC, it's recommended to charge the device every 3 months to effectively mitigate the impact of natural battery discharge on its lifespan.
