You need to press the shift button when shifting gears in the Bora. Gear shifting: Automatic transmission vehicles have protection and interlock mechanisms for gear shifting. If you accidentally shift from D to R or P while driving, it can be dangerous. However, you can freely switch between D and N, even while driving. Avoid coasting in neutral: Coasting in neutral in an automatic transmission vehicle does not save fuel. Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the friction plates inside the transmission.

Is a car considered old after 10 years of use?

A car is considered old after 10 years of use. When a car reaches 6-8 years, it typically starts developing minor issues such as oil leaks, strange noises, vibrations, etc., let alone a 10-year-old car. After 10 years of driving, the car is already out of warranty and likely has numerous problems. Once issues arise, the repair costs can be relatively high. Below are some relevant details: Core component maturity: The engine, transmission, and chassis are the core components of a car, and these three major parts are closely related to the vehicle's lifespan. If these components perform stably, the car's lifespan is generally not short. Emissions: Environmental policies impose increasingly strict emission standards on vehicles. Only if a car's emissions comply with policy changes can it remain roadworthy longer. Repair costs: A 10-year-old car usually has many minor issues, which means repair costs must be low; otherwise, long-term repairs may not be as cost-effective as buying a new car. Driving habits: If the owner frequently drives aggressively, even a well-built car cannot withstand the wear and tear caused by long-term rough driving. Additionally, frequently driving on unpaved roads can also affect the car's lifespan to some extent.

What Causes High Temperature When Using Car Air Conditioning?

The reasons for high temperature when using car air conditioning include fan malfunction, condenser failure, and blockage between the condenser and radiator. Air conditioning is a basic function of a car, and under normal working conditions, the car should not overheat simply because the air conditioning is turned on. This indicates that there may be an issue with the cooling system. Fan malfunction: A faulty cooling fan can prevent the heat generated during high-speed operation from being dissipated in time. If the car's air conditioning is not cooling properly, check if the fan is malfunctioning. If it is, replace the fan. Condenser failure: Check if the condenser is faulty or clogged with dirt. If so, replace or clean it. Blockage between condenser and radiator: Inspect the radiator for blockages. If there is dirt clogging, clean it. Check if there is excessive dust between the condenser and radiator, and use high-pressure air to thoroughly clean them to ensure good cooling performance. Check if there is a significant temperature difference between the inlet and outlet pipes in front of the heater core. If this is the case, it indicates that the heater core is clogged and needs to be removed and replaced.

How is the Deway Engine?

Deway engines are known for their strong power, durability, excellent service, and rapid after-sales response mechanisms. This applies to both technical aspects such as engine components, compact structural design, single-cylinder 4-valve configuration, and cylinder preheating technology, as well as after-sales service. Below is an introduction to turbocharging: Principle of Turbocharging: A turbocharged engine relies on a turbocharger to increase the engine's air intake. The turbocharger (Turbo) is essentially an air compressor. It uses the exhaust gases from the engine to drive a turbine located in the exhaust manifold. The turbine, in turn, drives a coaxial impeller located in the intake manifold, which compresses fresh air delivered from the air filter and sends it into the cylinders. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas flow and turbine speed also increase, enhancing the air compression and thereby increasing the engine's air intake. This results in higher engine output power. Function of Turbocharging: The primary function of turbocharging is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby boosting the engine's power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful.

What are the causes of ECU damage?

ECU damage causes: 1. Components had issues at factory production; 2. Temperature increases significantly reduce service life; 3. Voltage breakdown; 4. Current burnout. Solutions: 1. Monitor working temperature of circuit boards or specific components; 2. Before touching ECU circuits, discharge static electricity by touching vehicle body or ECU ground with metal tool. ECU (Electronic Control Unit), also called vehicle computer or onboard computer, automatically records fault codes in RAM and implements protective measures when system fails, reading substitute programs from preset routines to maintain engine operation.
