Water can enter the exhaust pipe if the vehicle wades through deep water. Here are some precautions to take when driving through water: Avoid Forcing the Engine to Start: If water enters the exhaust pipe and the engine stalls, do not attempt to force a restart. Instead, call for roadside assistance immediately. After simple cleaning and drying, the engine can resume normal operation. The repair costs are relatively low, and insurance claims are usually straightforward. Observe Carefully: Check whether the vehicle ahead can pass through the water. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the wheels, it is best not to proceed. Avoid Speeding: Drive quickly on sand but slowly through water. Speeding through water can create waves that may enter the exhaust pipe, causing the vehicle to stall.

What is the shelf life of an oil filter?

Oil filters generally have a shelf life of 1-2 years. More information about oil filters is as follows: 1. An oil filter, also known as an oil strainer, is used to remove impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot particles from the oil to protect the engine. 2. Oil filters can be divided into full-flow and bypass types. Full-flow filters are connected in series between the oil pump and the main oil passage, thus filtering all the lubricating oil entering the main oil passage; bypass filters are connected in parallel with the main oil passage and only filter part of the lubricating oil pumped by the oil pump. 3. The requirements for filter paper in oil filters are higher than those for air filters, mainly because the temperature of the oil varies from 0 to 300 degrees, and under severe temperature fluctuations, the concentration of the oil also changes accordingly, which affects the filtration flow rate of the oil.

What are the reasons for a car suddenly not starting?

The reasons for a car suddenly not starting are as follows: 1. Battery depletion. When the car battery is depleted, the car may fail to start, or if the battery malfunctions, prolonged use of the air conditioning, among other reasons, can lead to battery depletion. 2. Extremely low temperatures. In cold winter weather, cars often fail to start. This is because in low-temperature environments, the viscosity and rotation speed of the car's engine oil decrease, leading to reduced ignition energy from the battery and decreased molecular activity, making it difficult to form flammable gases. 3. Carbon buildup in the car. Carbon buildup in the car's engine can cause many issues, the most common being the car's failure to start. Causes of engine carbon buildup include excessive moisture in gasoline, poor fuel quality, poor sealing of the valve seat ring, etc.

What are the symptoms of a damaged half shaft?

Half shaft damage may exhibit the following symptoms: 1. Abnormal noises during driving. If the vehicle's half shaft is excessively worn, metallic friction sounds and metal collision noises may occur while driving, which become more noticeable during turns. 2. Vehicle pulling to one side. Since the half shaft serves as a drive shaft, if there are issues with the transmission on both sides, the vehicle may pull to one side even when the steering wheel is straightened. 3. Steering wheel vibration at high speeds. Due to half shaft damage, the vehicle's dynamic balance is affected, significantly impacting stability during high-speed driving.

What is the function of a high-pressure fuel pump?

The main functions of a high-pressure fuel pump are as follows: 1. The high-pressure fuel pump's outlet leads to the oil cooler, then to the oil filter, and after passing through the oil filter, it splits into two paths: one path is depressurized to supply lubricating oil, and the other becomes control oil. There may also be one or two accumulators in the oil circuit. Its role is to increase fuel pressure, achieving a spray atomization effect through high-pressure injection. The high-pressure fuel pump is primarily used as a power source for hydraulic devices such as jacks, heading machines, extruders, and cotton gins. 2. The high-pressure fuel pump serves as the interface between the high-pressure and low-pressure fuel circuits. Its function is to generate fuel pressure in the common rail by controlling the fuel output. Under all operating conditions, it is mainly responsible for providing sufficient high-pressure fuel to the common rail.

How Often Should the Charcoal Canister Be Replaced?

There is no fixed replacement interval for the vehicle's charcoal canister, and the owner's manual does not specify how often it should be replaced. As long as the charcoal canister is not damaged, there is no need to replace it. Here is more information about the charcoal canister: 1. The activated charcoal canister is typically installed between the fuel tank and the engine. It utilizes the adsorption capability of the internal activated charcoal to absorb and store fuel vapors from the fuel tank. 2. When the engine starts, the solenoid valve between the activated charcoal canister and the intake manifold opens according to the ECU's command. At this point, the fuel vapors in the activated charcoal canister are drawn into the intake manifold under vacuum pressure, where they mix with air and enter the combustion chamber to participate in combustion. This not only reduces unnecessary emissions but also lowers the engine's fuel consumption.

Is it considered overloading to drive with five adults and one child?

The passenger capacity of a private car is determined by the number of seats specified on the vehicle's registration certificate. In the traffic regulations regarding overloading, there are no stipulations regarding the height, weight, or age of passengers, only the "number" is regulated. If a car with a capacity of 5 people carries an additional child (even an infant held in a parent's arms), it is considered overloading. Here are more regulations regarding vehicle overloading: 1. Article 49 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles must not carry more passengers than the approved number, and passenger vehicles must not carry cargo in violation of regulations. 2. The regulations stipulate that driving a passenger vehicle (excluding buses and school buses) with passengers exceeding the approved number by less than 20% will result in a fine of 100 yuan and 3 penalty points. If the number of passengers exceeds the approved number by 20% or more, the fine is 100 yuan with 6 penalty points.
