If water enters a car's exhaust pipe, it needs to be repaired. Here is some information about car exhaust pipes: 1. Introduction: The exhaust pipe is a device installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust and muffler system. It allows the entire exhaust system to be flexibly connected. Exhaust pipes are mainly used in light vehicles, compact cars, buses, and motorcycles. The structure of an exhaust pipe consists of a double-layer corrugated pipe covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings at both ends. To enhance noise reduction, the corrugated pipe may include an expansion joint or mesh sleeve inside. The primary material is stainless steel, while the clamps and connectors can be made of stainless steel or aluminized steel. 2. Maintenance: Since the exhaust pipe is often exposed to the outside but is connected to the car's interior, if it becomes clogged with dirt, it can affect its normal function. Moreover, improper driving may allow harmful substances to enter the vehicle, leading to more significant issues, which can occasionally happen. Therefore, when maintaining a car's exhaust system, it is essential to focus on keeping the exhaust pipe clean.

Does the 2021 Sagitar have a particulate filter?

2021 Sagitar is equipped with a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standard. The particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, which can capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. The pollution from diesel engines mainly comes from three aspects - particulate emissions, hydrocarbons (HCx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur. Among them, particulate emissions (soot) are mostly composed of tiny particles of carbon or carbide (size less than 4-20μm). Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a special pipeline. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed on the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, burning off the carbon smoke particles adsorbed on it and turning them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the 2021 Sagitar is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the "Owner's Maintenance Manual" and "Owner's User Manual" to see if there is a particulate filter function. In addition, you can also carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" fault light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil filler cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means that a particulate filter is installed. Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

What is the difference between 5w30 and 0w30 engine oil?

5w30 and 0w30 engine oils differ in their low-temperature fluidity. 5w30 oil can flow normally at temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius, while 0w30 oil can flow normally at -35 degrees Celsius, indicating that 0w30 oil has better low-temperature fluidity. Here is some information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is the lubricant used in engines, composed of base oil and additives. 2. The density of engine oil is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption, earning it the nickname 'the blood of the car.'

What are the dimensions of the Murano?

The Murano has a length, width, and height of 4897*1908*1691mm, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. The Murano is not a seven-seater model, but its body size is quite substantial. Even when compared to seven-seater models like the Highlander, the Murano's dimensions are not significantly different. With its aggressive exterior design, these dimensions create a more visually striking presence. In terms of power, the Murano is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine with the model number QR25DE. The engine delivers a maximum output of 186 horsepower and a peak torque of 229 Nm. Both the cylinder head and block are made of aluminum, and the engine features C-VTC (Continuous Variable Valve Timing Control) technology. The fuel delivery system utilizes multi-point electronic fuel injection.

Where to Apply for a Fuel Card?

Fuel cards can be applied for at gas station business outlets. Below is relevant information regarding the application for fuel cards: Documents required for applying for a fuel card: When applying, relevant documents required for account opening should be filled out and provided as per the requirements. Taking Sinopec as an example, according to Article 9 of the "Sinopec Fuel Card Regulations" for named card account opening, corporate or individual customers should fill out and provide the necessary documents for account opening at the card sales outlets (for corporate user card account opening, a company introduction letter, original and photocopy of the main cardholder's ID, original and photocopy of the agent's ID, etc., are required; for individual customer account opening, original and photocopy of the main cardholder's ID, original and photocopy of the agent's ID, etc., are required). The initial deposit amount for named card account opening is determined by the card sales unit. Named card customers can choose whether to set a password based on personal preference and can enjoy points and other value-added services. Documents required for other services: Article 18 of the "Sinopec Fuel Card Regulations" states that named card customers applying for additional sub-cards, password resets, and other services should go to designated card sales outlets and fill out and provide the necessary documents as required (for corporate user cards, a company introduction letter, main card, original and photocopy of the main cardholder's ID, original and photocopy of the agent's ID, etc., are required. For individual customer cards, the main card, original and photocopy of the main cardholder's ID, original and photocopy of the agent's ID, etc., are required).

What is the solution for the P0137 trouble code?

Solution for the P0137 trouble code: First, check the heater resistor wire of the oxygen sensor. If it is faulty, the heater resistor wire of the sensor needs to be replaced. If the resistor wire is normal, check the wiring from the sensor to the computer. If the wiring is fine, it indicates a sensor fault, and the entire sensor needs to be replaced. Introduction to the P0137 trouble code: 1. The P0137 trouble code refers to low voltage in the oxygen sensor circuit, specifically the second oxygen sensor in the first row. When the voltage of the heated oxygen sensor signal remains below 156 millivolts for a set period, the P0137 trouble code will appear. 2. The causes of this trouble code include contamination of the oxygen sensor, crossed signal and ground circuits of the oxygen sensor, short circuit in the oxygen sensor signal circuit, failure of the oxygen sensor itself, or a fault in the electronic control module.
