It is not advisable to expose the newly replaced windshield to rain. It is recommended to avoid rain and car washing for 3 days for the following reasons: 1. The windshield adhesive requires time to cure, and rainwater can affect its bonding strength, leading to poor fixation of the glass and potential safety hazards; 2. During car washing, workers may use high-pressure water jets to clean the car body, which could dislodge the improperly fixed glass or even cause water damage to the car. Additional precautions after windshield replacement include: 1. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads, sudden braking, and rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting; 2. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the windshield and the dashboard.

Can a diesel vehicle operate normally without urea?

Diesel vehicles can operate normally without urea, but this will have negative effects on the vehicle. The primary purpose of adding urea is to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. While omitting urea won't directly affect the engine, it will cause emissions to exceed standards and pollute the environment. Prolonged non-use of urea will lead to rapid oxidation of chemicals in the diesel vehicle's system and clogging of the urea injector, potentially rendering the entire system inoperable. Here's an introduction to automotive urea: 1. Origin: Automotive urea solution was first used in Europe, where it's called AdBlue. In North America, it's known as DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid), while in China it's referred to as automotive urea solution or "automotive denitration agent." Currently, it's generally called "automotive urea" in China. 2. Function: Automotive urea solution is crucial for reducing pollutant emissions from diesel vehicles. This urea-based chemical reagent, composed of high-purity urea and deionized water in a 32.5% concentration solution, is essential for SCR systems to help diesel engines meet China IV and higher emission standards.

Where in Mentougou are out-of-town vehicles photographed?

In some areas outside the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing's Mentougou District, out-of-town vehicles without a Beijing Entry Permit will be photographed. The following is a detailed introduction to the Beijing Entry Permit: 1. Validity period of the Beijing Entry Permit: Out-of-town vehicles entering within Beijing's Sixth Ring Road (excluding the main road of the Sixth Ring) need to apply for an entry permit, which is valid for 7 days, and 3 days during special periods (such as the Olympics or National Day). Otherwise, 3 points will be deducted. There are agencies for applying for the Beijing Entry Permit on all highways and national roads entering Beijing. 2. Required materials for application: To apply for the Beijing Entry Permit, you need to provide the vehicle’s valid driving license within the inspection period, a green environmental protection qualification mark or a vehicle exhaust inspection qualification certificate issued by the local municipal environmental protection department, compulsory traffic insurance mark, inspection qualification mark, as well as the driver’s driving license, ID card (or household registration book), and other valid documents.

Where is the Baojun 360 engine produced?

The Baojun 360 engine is produced by SAIC-GM and is a domestically manufactured engine. The Baojun 360 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across all variants. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power output of 77 kilowatts, a maximum torque of 135 Newton-meters, with peak torque achieved at 3,600 rpm and peak power at 5,600 rpm. For daily maintenance of the Baojun 360 engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, 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. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What Causes Reduced Airflow from the AC at High Speeds?

Here are the specific reasons for reduced airflow from the AC at high speeds: 1. Insufficient refrigerant: The AC lacks refrigerant. Unless the vehicle has been involved in a severe rear-end collision or had its AC piping or related components disassembled, which affects sealing, the refrigerant should not deplete. 2. Dirty condenser: The radiator and condenser are crucial cooling components of the vehicle. If they are too dirty, it can lead to poor heat dissipation, not only causing engine overheating but also directly affecting the AC's cooling performance. Therefore, if the AC's performance is unsatisfactory during hot weather, consider whether the vehicle's cooling system needs cleaning. 3. Worn or loose compressor belt: Typically, the 4S shop will remind you to replace the compressor belt during maintenance. Failing to replace it on time can result in slipping during use, leading to belt breakage, unusual noises, and loss of power assistance.

What does EVP mean in cars?

EVP in cars stands for Electric Vacuum Pump. Here are the specific details about the electric vacuum pump: 1. Function: The electric vacuum pump can monitor changes in vacuum within the turbocharger via a vacuum sensor, ensuring sufficient boost performance under various driving conditions. 2. Usage: It is typically used in electric vehicles, turbocharged gasoline engines, and diesel engines. When used in diesel engines, it can replace traditional mechanical vacuum pumps to save energy. Inside the vacuum pump, an electric motor serves as the power source, capturing air and sweeping it through the pump, creating a partial vacuum behind it.
