Can You Drive Without Water in the Auxiliary Tank?

1 Answers
MacJameson
07/30/25 4:27am
The auxiliary tank being empty means you cannot drive. The auxiliary tank is a component of the engine cooling system and plays a role in balancing the pressure of the radiator. The maintenance methods for the auxiliary tank include: 1. Stop and check if the temperature is found to be too high while driving; 2. Immediately stop and inspect if the car's radiator is smoking; 3. Regularly replace the coolant. The reasons for the auxiliary tank running low on water are: 1. There is a leak in the cooling system or a slight issue with the cylinder head gasket; 2. The coolant temperature is too high, causing the system to lack water; 3. The water pump seizes, leading to timing belt damage and causing the piston to hit the valve; 4. The cylinder gasket is compromised, mixing with engine oil or being expelled through the exhaust pipe.

Why does the Tiguan L380 not have a particulate filter?

Due to the fact that the Tiguan L380 version is equipped with the EA888-DKX 2.0T high-power engine, this power configuration adopts a four-way catalytic converter setup. Moreover, since this engine meets the current PN11 standards and also complies with the China 6B emission standards, the Tiguan L380 version does not come with a particulate filter. Basic working principle of a particulate filter: For example, a diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by a diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the carbon smoke particles adsorbed on it, converting them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then emitted. Consequences of particulate filter blockage: The gradual accumulation of particles on the particulate filter of a gasoline engine can lead to blockage of the particulate filter, causing poor engine exhaust flow, which in turn results in decreased engine power. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is mainly used to capture particles in the vehicle's exhaust gas to improve the quality of the vehicle's exhaust emissions and reduce air pollution. The particulate filter used in diesel vehicles is called DPF, while in gasoline vehicles it is called GPF, both of which operate on roughly the same principle.

What is the range of NIO's 100kWh battery?

NIO's 100kWh battery can achieve a range of 500km. After the release of the 100kWh battery pack, the NIO ES6 and EC6 models can reach ranges of 610km and 615km, respectively. Several major factors affect the range of electric vehicles: Battery capacity: The most direct factor affecting the range of an electric vehicle is undoubtedly the battery capacity. Larger battery capacities allow for longer ranges. However, as the battery capacity of new energy vehicles increases, the battery weight also becomes heavier. Since increased weight leads to reduced range, this can become counterproductive. Therefore, the energy density of the battery is also a crucial factor in determining battery quality. Drag coefficient: The drag coefficient refers to the amount of air resistance a vehicle must overcome while driving, which directly affects the power output during the driving process. Previous studies have shown that when a car moves at a speed of 60 km/h, 60% of the power is used to overcome air resistance. Therefore, a lower drag coefficient results in less resistance, leading to relatively lower energy consumption. Vehicle weight and load: When a new energy vehicle is heavier, the load on the bearings and tires increases, resulting in greater rolling resistance. This means the vehicle consumes more energy during acceleration, thereby affecting the range. Previous research has shown that for every 100kg reduction in weight, the range of a new energy vehicle can increase by 10%-11%, while also reducing battery costs by 20% and daily wear costs by 20%.

What is the symbol for rearview mirror heating?

The rearview mirror heating button icon is shaped like three upward-curving arrows inside a square frame. The rearview mirror heating function refers to the ability of the rearview mirror to be heated by electric heating wires embedded behind the mirror when the car is driving in rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, ensuring a clear mirror surface. The rearview mirror heating is particularly useful in rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirror frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment function button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Heat will dissipate from the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, due to the rise in temperature and evaporation, water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually shrink, and fog will slowly disappear, thereby heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may decrease, and the impact may not be noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the rearview mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of electricity. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in a running state. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating function when the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could result in insufficient power to start the car. Other methods for defogging the rearview mirror include: Opening windows for air circulation: Crack open the side windows slightly to allow air to flow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can use the hot air blown by the air conditioner to defog the mirrors.
