After running 20,000 kilometers, a BMW requires appropriate maintenance. Below is relevant information about vehicle maintenance. 1. Types of maintenance: cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors, four-wheel rotation and balancing, replacing the cabin air filter, and cleaning the catalytic converter. 2. Cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors: This depends on the vehicle's usage. Vehicles that frequently drive on highways are less likely to be dirty and may not need cleaning. If the vehicle often drives in congested areas or for short distances, it is more likely to accumulate dirt and should be cleaned. 3. Cleaning the catalytic converter: The catalytic converter generally does not need cleaning unless there is a fault code or the vehicle fails an emissions test. 4. Four-wheel rotation and balancing and replacing the cabin air filter: It is recommended to perform both. Four-wheel rotation helps ensure even tire wear and extends tire life, while the cabin air filter, like the engine air filter, tends to get dirty quickly and should be replaced more frequently.

What are the situations where spark plugs must be replaced?

There are several situations where spark plugs must be replaced: 1. Obvious stuttering sensation during cold starts; 2. Severe shaking when idling; 3. No spark or weak spark during grounding ignition test after removing the spark plug; 4. Oil stains on the spark plug; 5. Severe burning marks on the spark plug surface. The functions of spark plugs are: 1. To introduce the high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder; 2. To generate sparks between the electrodes of the spark plug to ignite the air-fuel mixture, ensuring normal engine operation. The working principle of spark plugs is: The electrode repeatedly and continuously generates electricity for ignition, producing pulsed high-voltage electricity that breaks down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, forming sparks and causing an explosion to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, thereby starting the engine.

How to Adjust the Height of Civic Seats?

Civic seats can be adjusted in height by locating the lever on the left side of the passenger seat. Lifting the lever increases the height, while pressing it down lowers the seat. Typically, car seat adjustment switches are located on the side of the seat. These switches can be either manual or automatic, but their function and principle remain the same, with only the control method differing. Taking the 2021 Civic as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and a curb weight of 1343kg. The 2021 Civic features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 117PS, maximum torque of 220Nm, and maximum power of 130kW, paired with a CVT transmission.

Can a single engine piston be replaced individually?

It is possible to replace a single engine piston, but it is recommended to replace them as a set to ensure the sealing of the cylinder liner. Detailed introduction to pistons: Function of pistons: The main function of a piston is to withstand the combustion pressure in the cylinder and transmit this force to the crankshaft via the piston pin and connecting rod. Additionally, the piston, together with the cylinder head and cylinder wall, forms the combustion chamber. Introduction to pistons: A piston is a reciprocating component within the cylinder block of a car engine. Its basic structure can be divided into the top, head, and skirt. The piston top is a major part of the combustion chamber, and its shape is related to the chosen combustion chamber type. Gasoline engines often use flat-top pistons, which have the advantage of a smaller heat absorption area. Diesel engine piston tops often feature various types of recesses, the specific shapes, positions, and sizes of which must be adapted to the requirements of mixture formation and combustion in diesel engines.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Phantom?

According to official data, the Phantom's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 5.3 seconds. The factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque generally represents the magnitude of force. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting naturally in faster acceleration. The Phantom's twin-turbocharged engine delivers a maximum torque of 900 Nm, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.3 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission serves as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to superior acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Phantom is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission (AT). Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Phantom has a power-to-weight ratio of 211.48 Hp/T, contributing to its 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.3 seconds.
