Activating the Eco Mode can indeed increase carbon deposit formation, but using it correctly can mitigate this effect. It's best to use this feature when driving at low speeds with about one-third of the fuel remaining, as this maximizes fuel efficiency without significantly increasing carbon buildup. Here are some relevant tips: Turn off the function: Disable Eco Mode in heavy traffic or on highways, as it won't improve fuel economy under these conditions and may instead accelerate carbon deposit formation and engine wear. Important note: Regardless of whether Eco Mode is on or off, vehicles will inevitably accumulate carbon deposits during normal use. Therefore, it's recommended that drivers periodically visit a 4S shop or professional maintenance facility for thorough carbon cleaning and maintenance. For detailed methods on removing carbon deposits, you can refer to the article "Best Methods for Cleaning Carbon Deposits," which can help reduce fuel consumption, enhance engine performance, and extend your vehicle's lifespan.

What Causes the Clanking Noise During Cold Start?

Cold start clanking noise can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. If there is a clicking sound within the first half minute that disappears afterward, this is usually caused by the expansion of the catalytic converter as it heats up, which is normal; 2. A loud clicking noise during cold start is mostly due to issues with the engine's timing system, such as wear, elongation, or loosening of the timing belt or chain, or the failure of the chain tensioner to maintain proper tension; 3. If the noise occurs only when the air conditioning is turned on, it may be due to friction in the air conditioning belt; 4. If the noise is present only during the initial moment of cold start, it could be a fault in the starter motor, primarily caused by poor return of the starter gear, inadequate lubrication of the one-way clutch, or slow return of the gear being dragged back by the flywheel. This phenomenon is more common in winter.

What is the displacement of a 1.2t engine?

1.2t is equivalent to the displacement of a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. Automobile displacement refers to the sum of the cylinder working volume and the combustion chamber volume, usually measured in liters. The displacement of a mini car is less than or equal to 1.0L; the displacement of a compact car ranges from 1.0 to 1.6L; the displacement of a mid-size car ranges from 1.6 to 2.5L; the displacement of a full-size car ranges from 2.5 to 4.0L; the displacement of a luxury car is greater than 4.0L. Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, more representative of engine size than bore and number of cylinders. Many engine performance indicators are closely related to displacement. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time (converting chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy), resulting in better "power performance."

What Are the Correct Steps for Cleaning a Car Air Conditioner?

The correct steps for cleaning a car air conditioner are: 1. Remove the air filter and blower of the vehicle to be cleaned (depending on the vehicle model, some may not require removing the blower); 2. Place a clean water basin under the air conditioner's drain outlet at the bottom of the car to collect dirty water; 3. Adjust the endoscope camera's bend at the designated folding position on the cleaning machine to an appropriate angle; 4. Insert the cleaning machine's endoscope camera and nozzle through the blower motor hole to clearly observe the location and contamination around the car's evaporator; 5. Load the degreaser onto the cleaning gun, connect the spray gun to the air pump, and hold the spray gun nozzle close to the upper part of the evaporator, evenly spraying the degreaser. Wait for about 1 minute until the stains foam, soften, and loosen; 6. After cleaning, first reinstall the blower and start the vehicle to dry the evaporator, then use a fogging antibacterial machine to sterilize the air conditioner ducts through fogging.
