Remote start with air conditioning damages the car. 1. Reasons: Turning off the engine before turning off the air conditioning is harmful to the engine. This is because when the vehicle is started again, the engine will start with the load of the air conditioning, and such a high load can damage the engine. 2. Best Practices: Turn off the air conditioning a few minutes before reaching the destination. This allows the natural air to circulate, helping the temperature inside the air conditioning ducts to rise and eliminate the temperature difference with the outside, thereby maintaining relative dryness in the air conditioning system and preventing mold growth. Additionally, it is advisable to wait two to three minutes after starting the vehicle, allowing the engine to be properly lubricated, before turning on the air conditioning.

Remotely starting the vehicle and turning on the air conditioning immediately ignites the engine to power the AC compressor, with the fan activating to regulate cabin temperature. In this state, the engine idles at slightly lower combustion efficiency, potentially causing minor carbon buildup, but modern cars feature smart idle systems to optimize combustion and minimize impact. While AC startup consumes high energy, it causes minimal wear to the compressor and engine—posing no issue with a healthy battery. I recommend avoiding prolonged idling (e.g., over 15 minutes) to prevent fuel waste and unnecessary wear. Normal driving helps clear carbon deposits, making moderate operation harmless overall, but regular checks of engine oil and AC components are advised.

Does the number 8 on car glass represent 18 or 08?

Car glass with the number 8 represents 08. The labels on car glass use numbers to indicate the production year and dots to indicate the month. If the dot is placed before the number, it means the glass was produced in the first half of the year; if the dot is placed after the number, it means it was produced in the second half of the year. Here are some related details: 1. The safety glass used in cars is a product subject to mandatory national certification, commonly known as the "Square and Circle Mark," which is the most common and important symbol on car glass. There are also international certification marks, such as the U.S. "DOT" mark and the European ECE "E" mark, indicating that the product has been certified by these foreign regulatory bodies and can be exported abroad. 2. On car glass, the last string of symbols and numbers corresponds to the production year of the glass. The last row of numbers and symbols is "..8," where 8 represents the year, meaning 2008. If the dot is before "8," it indicates production in the first half of the year, calculated as "7 minus the number of dots." So, "...8" would be 7-1=6, meaning the glass was produced in June 2008. If the dot is after "8," it indicates production in the second half of the year, calculated as "13 minus the number of dots." For example, "8.." means the glass was produced in 13-2=11, or November. 3. Identifying the vehicle's manufacturing date: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found below the windshield or on the left side of the dashboard. Although the VIN has 17 digits, the most important one to recognize is the 10th digit, which represents the vehicle's manufacturing year (W-1998, X-1999, Y-2000, 1-2001, 2-2002, etc.).

What Causes Transmission Slippage?

Transmission slippage can be caused by the following issues: 1. Hydraulic oil level is too low. 2. Hydraulic oil level is too high, causing excessive air bubbles when vigorously agitated by the planetary gear set during operation. 3. Excessive wear or burning of clutch or brake friction plates and brake bands. 4. Excessive wear of the oil pump or leakage in the main oil circuit, resulting in excessively low oil pressure. 5. Slippage of the one-way overrunning clutch. 6. Damage to the piston seal rings of the clutch or brake, causing oil leakage. 7. Damage to the piston seal rings of the shock absorber, causing oil leakage. Here are some related steps for diagnosis: 1. For automatic transmissions exhibiting slippage, first check the hydraulic oil level. If the oil level is too low or too high, adjust it to the normal level and recheck. If the automatic transmission does not slip after adjusting the oil level to normal, no further repair is needed. 2. Inspect the quality of the hydraulic oil. If the oil appears dark brown or has a burnt smell, it indicates that the clutch or brake friction plates or the brake itself are burnt, and the automatic transmission should be disassembled for repair. 3. Conduct a road test to determine if the automatic transmission is slipping and identify the affected gear and the severity of slippage. Place the control lever in different positions and move the car. If the engine speed suddenly increases when the automatic transmission shifts to a certain gear but the vehicle speed does not increase accordingly, that gear is slipping. The higher the engine speed, the more severe the slippage.

What is the actual range of the BYD e3 ride-hailing version?

The official released range of the BYD E3 is 305Km/405Km. In actual use, the range will decrease depending on driving habits and environmental conditions. The larger the fuel tank capacity, the more fuel it can hold, the longer and stronger the vehicle's range, and the farther it can travel, reducing the number of refueling stops. Here is more relevant information: 1. Range: Range can also be referred to as endurance capability, which is the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the range refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions. It is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. 2. The relationship between range and speed: Due to air resistance. When a car is running at high speed, most of the power is used to overcome air resistance. The magnitude of air resistance is determined by factors such as frontal area and speed. The higher the speed, the greater the air resistance, which increases electricity and fuel consumption, directly reducing the range.

What causes the signal of the Magotan knock sensor 1 to be too small?

Knock sensor signal being too small is a normal phenomenon. The knock sensor signal generally does not display, and changes only occur when the throttle is accelerated abruptly. You can observe the data stream; tapping the sensor with a screwdriver will cause a noticeable change in the data stream, indicating that the sensor is functioning properly. The function and principle of the knock sensor: 1. The knock sensor is an AC signal generator: but they are quite different from most other automotive AC signal generators. Besides detecting the speed and position of the rotating shaft like the magnetic crankshaft and camshaft position sensors, they also detect vibration or mechanical pressure. 2. Early ignition, poor exhaust gas recirculation: Engine knocking caused by factors such as low-grade fuel can lead to engine damage. The knock sensor sends a knock signal to the computer, sometimes via the control module PCM, allowing the computer to readjust the ignition timing to prevent further knocking. They essentially act as the "oxygen sensor" in the ignition timing feedback control loop. 3. The knock sensor is placed at different locations on the engine block or cylinder: When vibration or knocking occurs, it generates a small voltage peak; the greater the knocking or vibration, the larger the voltage peak produced by the knock sensor.

How Many Liters of Antifreeze Should Be Added to a Sedan?

It is appropriate to add about 4 liters of antifreeze to a sedan. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the vehicle is parked in cold winter conditions. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Can antifreeze be mixed? It is necessary to use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas. If mixed, the additives may react chemically, rendering them ineffective. Antifreeze replacement cycle: For vehicles that run for long periods, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze should generally be replaced once a year. For vehicles with shorter running times, replacement can be done every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To prevent excessive foaming, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-lasting antifreeze can have a validity period of up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are found in the antifreeze, replace it promptly and clean the system.
