Adding too much antifreeze does not affect the car. If too much antifreeze is added, the excess can be drawn out from the expansion tank. Additionally, overfilling antifreeze does not impact the engine because the expansion tank is equipped with a drain pipe. When excessive antifreeze causes too much pressure, this drain pipe acts as a pressure relief, and the excess antifreeze will also be expelled through it. Automotive antifreeze is primarily used in the cooling systems of liquid-cooled engines, offering excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, scale buildup, and corrosion. Do not mix different types of antifreeze, and make sure to choose the appropriate antifreeze based on the region and vehicle model.

What does it mean when a vehicle status shows as seized?

When a vehicle status shows as seized, it means the vehicle is prohibited by court order from undergoing registration, modification, transfer, mortgage release, deregistration, or pledge release due to reasons such as economic debt disputes. Below are three common scenarios of vehicle seizure: 1. Scenario 1: For vehicles purchased through installment payments, if the borrower defaults on bank payments, the bank may apply for court-ordered debt recovery. The court then issues a seizure notice to the vehicle management office, prohibiting all services including inspection. 2. Scenario 2: If the owner of a fully paid vehicle has outstanding debts, creditors may apply to the court to first impose a preservation seizure on the vehicle, followed by a judgment to determine ownership. 3. Scenario 3: If a vehicle is used in criminal activities or purchased with illicit funds, the public security bureau may seize the vehicle to recover it, prohibiting inspection, transfer, and other services.

What Causes the Low-Pressure Pipe of Car Air Conditioning to Not Be Cold?

Here are the reasons why the low-pressure pipe of a car air conditioning system is not cold: 1. Insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system. 2. Inadequate air conditioning pressure. 3. Refrigerant pipeline leakage. 4. Compressor malfunction. Check the air conditioning pipes for any signs of leakage. If there is a leak, it must be repaired, and the system must be vacuumed before adding refrigerant. Below are the inspection steps for air conditioning not cooling: 1. Check if the system has refrigerant. If not, pressurize the system to locate the leak, then refill it. 2. If refrigerant is present, check if the compressor is functioning. If not, inspect the air conditioning pressure switch, temperature control switch, and their wiring for any issues. 3. Check the air conditioning heat dissipation and see if the fan is working. Clean the condenser. 4. Replace the air conditioning filter.

What Causes the Car Engine Light to Illuminate?

Engine light illumination can be caused by sensor issues, turbocharging problems, or exhaust system malfunctions. Below are the specific reasons for the engine light turning on: Sensor Issues: Sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors may trigger the engine warning light when damaged, poorly connected, or experiencing signal interruptions. In such cases, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data. Turbocharging Problems: Issues with the intake boost piping or turbocharger can also cause the engine light to illuminate. The most common problem is turbocharger damage, often accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Exhaust System Problems: Faults in components like the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearings may activate the engine light. The most frequent cause is catalytic converter failure, often resulting from using leaded gasoline, lead/silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the converter, or fuel system malfunctions.
