Does Air Conditioner Water Affect Car Paint?

Water discharged from the air conditioner dripping on the car for a long time will not damage the car paint. The following are the reasons for excessive car air conditioner water: 1. The evaporator has a condensation effect: Because the car cooling system is located inside the dashboard, it is equipped with an evaporator. When the cooling is turned on, the surface temperature of the evaporator is very low, and the moisture in the hot air inside the car will condense on the surface of the evaporator's heat-absorbing fins. The water droplets are collected by the plastic shell of the evaporator and discharged out of the car through pipes. If the vehicle stops and restarts after driving for a while, you can see a puddle of very clean and transparent water on the ground under the car. 2. The air conditioning pipes are not wrapped with insulating foam: The low-pressure pipes of the car air conditioner are not wrapped with insulating foam, and the surface of the pipes is prone to condensing moisture in the air. Water droplets will also condense and drip from the lowest point of the pipes.

How to Clear a Clogged Exhaust Pipe?

From a design perspective, exhaust pipes cannot be cleaned; severe blockages require complete replacement. Effects of a clogged exhaust pipe: 1. Insufficient power, slow acceleration: Exhaust gases cannot exit, and fresh air cannot enter, leading to inadequate combustion and reduced power. 2. Increased forced downshifts in automatic transmission vehicles: A clogged exhaust pipe reduces engine power, prompting the driver to press the accelerator. However, the ECU will automatically force the transmission to downshift based on the throttle position. 3. Difficulty starting the engine: Even with a charged battery, proper fuel injection, and normal compression pressure, the engine may fail to start because fresh air struggles to enter. 4. Rattling noises from the exhaust system during hard acceleration or emergency braking. In most cases, the primary cause of exhaust pipe blockage is a neglected catalytic converter. Maintenance of the catalytic converter: 1. Use unleaded gasoline: The catalytic converter is highly sensitive to lead. Leaded gasoline can cause blockages. 2. Regular maintenance: Clean the throttle body every 10,000 kilometers. If performance remains poor after cleaning, the catalytic converter may need cleaning.

What causes the car to shake when accelerating?

The reasons why the car shakes when accelerating are as follows: 1. It may be due to unstable engine operation, and carbon deposits should be cleaned. 2. If the steering wheel shakes, check whether the cooling fan is loose or has other issues, as well as the ball joints and tie rod ends. After inspection and replacement, a four-wheel alignment should be performed; otherwise, the gear may not engage. 3. Check the engine mounts: Inspect the engine mounts and the installation of the air conditioning compressor for any looseness. 4. Low idle speed may also be caused by the engine not receiving the air conditioning activation signal, or the air conditioning activation signal voltage may be too weak to increase the engine speed, leading to engine shaking under heavy load.

What type of engine oil should be used for Toyota RAV4?

Toyota RAV4 is recommended to use semi-synthetic engine oil and full-synthetic engine oil. Here is some information about engine oil: 1. There are three types of engine oil used in vehicles: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil. 2. Different types of engine oil have different effects, varying degrees of protection for the engine, and different usage cycles. 3. The usage cycle of mineral oil is about 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil is about 6,500 kilometers, and full-synthetic oil is about 10,000 kilometers.

Is Transmission Fluid Universal?

Transmission fluid cannot be mixed or used universally, as each type has its own specialized oil that must correspond to the appropriate transmission. There are three types of automatic transmissions: AT (hydraulic mechanical transmission), CVT (continuously variable transmission), and dual-clutch transmission. These transmissions differ in structure and working principles, and the transmission fluids they use also vary significantly. Details are as follows: 1. CVT Transmission Fluid: The nature of CVT transmission fluid is similar to AT fluid, but it is also a specialized oil. Since CVT transmissions use unique steel chains for power transmission, parameters such as fluid flow rate, friction performance, and expansion coefficient differ, making AT transmission fluid unsuitable as a substitute. 2. Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid: In dual-clutch transmissions, there are two types of oil—one is ordinary gear oil for lubricating gears, similar to standard manual transmission fluid but with better performance, and the other is oil used for the control system, which is the same as ATF. 3. Hydraulic Mechanical Transmission Fluid: Hydraulic mechanical transmissions are automatic transmissions, and the oil they use is referred to as ATF. It is a specialized fluid added to the transmission to serve functions such as power transmission, lubrication, and heat dissipation.
