Replacing the PCV valve cannot solve oil burning. Below is relevant knowledge about oil burning: Causes of oil burning: When the driver accelerates sharply while driving or revs the engine aggressively while idling, a large amount of blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe. In severe cases, the driver can even see blue smoke from the side mirror when accelerating hard during driving. Solutions for oil burning: For older vehicles experiencing oil burning, choosing a higher viscosity engine oil can help improve the sealing between the pistons and cylinder walls. However, the ultimate solution to completely resolve oil burning is to conduct a thorough inspection and repair of the vehicle to address the root cause. Over time, the valve stem seals age and wear out severely, losing their ability to provide effective sealing. Therefore, vehicles with longer usage periods or higher mileage are more prone to "oil burning" issues.

Will Pearl White Car Paint Turn Yellow?

Pearl white car paint will turn yellow over time. Since the paint is constantly exposed to the air, the surface layer will gradually oxidize and yellow with time. Especially in summer, strong ultraviolet rays accelerate the oxidation of the coating, leading to paint aging, discoloration, and cracking. Below are some methods to protect car paint: Waxing: Waxing can be done directly or with polishing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the surface of the paint. Polishing waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before waxing, which can instantly make the car shine. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid or alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged. It typically lasts only 1-3 months, and glazing can harm the paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for car paint, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, tires, and other key areas. It comes in fast-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by the primary ingredients. Film Application: Automotive coating is a highly effective protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also offering multiple benefits such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high-temperature resistance, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.

What is the function of an automotive flywheel?

The primary function of an automotive flywheel is to store energy and inertia outside of the engine's power stroke. Located at the power output end of the crankshaft, which connects to the transmission and power equipment, the flywheel possesses significant rotational inertia. Since the power strokes of each engine cylinder are not continuous, the engine speed fluctuates. Below is more detailed information: When the engine speed increases, the flywheel's kinetic energy rises, storing energy; when the engine speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy drops, releasing energy. The flywheel helps reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation. Additionally, the flywheel serves the following purposes: It acts as the driving component in friction clutches; a flywheel ring gear is embedded on its rim for starting the engine; top dead center marks are engraved on the flywheel to calibrate ignition timing or fuel injection timing and adjust valve clearance. Mounted at the rear end of the engine crankshaft, the flywheel utilizes its rotational inertia to store engine energy, overcome resistance from other components, and ensure smooth crankshaft rotation. The clutch installed on the flywheel connects the engine to the vehicle's transmission; it also engages with the starter for easy engine ignition. Furthermore, it serves as the integration point for crankshaft position sensing and vehicle speed sensing.

What does remote parking mean?

Remote parking refers to the function that allows the car owner to remotely start the vehicle and control its forward, backward movement, as well as steering left and right, using a remote control similar to a slide phone, within a range of about 10 meters from the vehicle. Models equipped with this function include the BMW 7 Series and BYD Qin. The remote parking function mainly includes three types: remote entry, remote parking in, and remote parking out. Below is an introduction to the classification of remote parking: 1. BYD Qin DM: BYD has introduced some innovative technologies to attract consumers, and the remote parking function is one of them. Simply by using the key, the owner can remotely control the vehicle to move forward, backward, and turn. The speed is not too fast, allowing the owner to operate with confidence. However, when the vehicle encounters a certain slope, the remote function may be somewhat affected, as the torque output by the vehicle under remote control is not very large. 2. Roewe Marvel-X: Positioned as a high-end intelligent SUV, the Roewe Marvel-X does not lag behind in technological configurations. The Roewe Marvel-X Pro Super Edition is also equipped with the AI-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system, which includes an all-time active safety assistance system, full-speed autonomous cruise, and self-learning parking. It seems that parking is no longer a challenge for Roewe Marvel-X owners.

Where is the fuel filler cap switch on the Touareg?

The Touareg does not have a separate fuel filler cap switch. When the central locking system is unlocked, you can open the fuel filler cap by pressing it. If the central locking system is locked, the fuel filler cap cannot be opened. Most models under Volkswagen and Audi are set up this way. Below is some relevant information about the Touareg: 1. Powertrain: The Touareg is a mid-to-large-size SUV under Volkswagen, equipped with three types of engines: a low-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, a high-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, and a 2.5L V6 turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, the high-power 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and the 2.5L V6 turbocharged engine delivers 299 horsepower and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. All three engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers fast gear shifts and high transmission efficiency. 2. Suspension: The Touareg features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The multi-link independent suspension enhances the wheel's ground contact performance, thereby improving traction.

Why Should the Uphill Vehicle Go First When Passing on Narrow Mountain Roads?

Because the uphill vehicle needs to overcome the slope resistance, it must accelerate the throttle to make the engine generate more power and traction. Generally, it needs to complete the climbing process in one go. If it slows down or stops midway, it will increase the difficulty and may even cause the vehicle to roll backward, leading to an accident. The following are the correct methods for passing on narrow slopes: 1. Downhill vehicles yield to uphill vehicles: On roads without central isolation facilities or central lines, when motor vehicles come from opposite directions, they should comply with the following regulations: slow down, keep to the right, and maintain a necessary safe distance from other vehicles and pedestrians; on obstructed road sections, the unobstructed side goes first. When the downhill vehicle has already reached the middle while the uphill vehicle has not started climbing, the downhill vehicle goes first. 2. The side not against the mountain goes first: On narrow mountain roads, the side not against the mountain goes first. When passing non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges, low-beam lights should be used. Motor vehicles must not make U-turns at places with no left-turn signs or markings, or at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp turns, steep slopes, tunnels, or dangerous sections.

Can You Still Drive with a Red-Hot Turbocharger?

You can still drive with a red-hot turbocharger. Many turbocharged models face this issue, where the engine's load requirements increase, especially during frequent uphill driving or high-speed runs. Prolonged turbo operation can cause the cast-iron housing to turn red, a phenomenon considered during the turbocharger's design phase, so there's no need to worry about its lifespan. Turbocharger maintenance: Keep the turbo clean: Primarily involves changing the engine oil and air filter. Oil changes are essential for all vehicles—engine oil acts as the lifeblood of the engine. Turbocharged engines operate in harsh conditions, making lubrication crucial, so regular oil changes are important. The air filter determines the turbo's cleanliness and should also be replaced periodically. Replace the oil filter: While engine oil is critical, the oil filter is equally important. Most issues arise not from turbocharger damage but from seal failures between the turbocharger and intake pipe. Thus, regular oil filter replacements are necessary. It's best to synchronize the oil filter replacement cycle with oil changes to maintain oil cleanliness. Avoid shutting down immediately after high-speed operation: After high-speed driving, don't turn off the engine immediately. Doing so cuts off oil lubrication abruptly, preventing the turbocharger's internal heat from dissipating via the oil. Wait a few dozen seconds for better cooling.
