You should not drive on the highway with the engine yellow light on. The yellow engine light indicates a fault in the engine, meaning it can still operate temporarily but requires inspection and repair. Reasons for the engine warning light to illuminate: Poor combustion state, engine knocking, poor fuel quality, dirty engine cylinders with carbon deposits, or the computer failing to retrieve engine data. Effects of the engine light being on: When the engine warning light is on, there are usually some abnormal conditions present. If not addressed promptly, it can lead to deteriorated vehicle exhaust quality, polluting the environment; increased fuel consumption, wasting petroleum and financial resources; elevated combustion chamber temperature and accelerated wear, potentially causing premature engine damage; engine oil burning, increased engine noise, affecting driving and passenger comfort.

Which Material is Best for Spark Plugs?

There are many types of automotive spark plugs, and it is recommended that car owners choose spark plugs reasonably based on their vehicle usage. Here is relevant information about spark plug types: 1. Standard Spark Plugs: The insulator skirt is slightly recessed into the shell end face, and the side electrode is outside the shell end face. This is the most widely used type. 2. Projected Insulator Spark Plugs: The insulator skirt is longer and protrudes beyond the shell end face. They offer advantages such as greater heat absorption, better anti-fouling capability, and direct cooling by incoming air to reduce temperature, making them less prone to hot spots and thus suitable for a wide thermal range.

How to Remove Scratches on a Car?

Here are the methods to repair minor scratches on car glass: 1. Grinding and Polishing Repair: Grinding and polishing can gradually refine surface imperfections such as scratches, cuts, burns, or corrosion on the glass to achieve a repair effect. First, clean and wipe the area around the scratch, then use tape to outline the scratch to define the repair area and avoid damaging other parts during grinding. Use a grinding pad to remove the scratch, and finally, polish the glass with polishing paste to restore its shine. 2. Toothpaste Repair: Toothpaste contains fine abrasive particles that can also serve as a grinding agent. Apply toothpaste to the scratched area and gently rub with a soft, clean towel dampened with water.

What is the fuel consumption of the diesel version of the Haval H9?

Haval H9 has a fuel consumption of 9.9 liters per 100 kilometers. The actual fuel consumption is greatly related to the vehicle condition and road conditions, and is not an absolute value. The reasons for increased fuel consumption and the calculation methods are as follows: Reasons for increased fuel consumption: Use of inappropriate fuel; aging of engine spark plugs and excessive carbon deposits, which directly affect the ignition effect; poor fuel flow, such as a dirty gasoline filter. Methods for calculating vehicle fuel consumption: The first method is through the vehicle dashboard records. After resetting the mileage data, the onboard computer automatically calculates the fuel consumption based on the recorded mileage and fuel consumption data. The second method is to calculate the fuel consumption by recording the mileage after a single refueling. Both methods provide the average fuel consumption of the vehicle.
