Cleaning the intake tract is necessary. Frequent lack of cleaning can lead to weak vehicle acceleration and, in severe cases, even prevent the vehicle from starting. Cleaning the intake tract can also remove carbon deposits in the engine combustion chamber, as well as gum and carbon deposits generated during combustion, which helps protect the fuel injectors, extend their service life, increase engine power, and reduce fuel consumption. Additional information: There is no fixed cycle for cleaning the intake tract; it is generally done along with the intake system cleaning, and the specific timing depends on various factors, including individual driving habits, the vehicle's operating environment, and the control method of the fuel injection system. If the vehicle is frequently driven in urban areas, it is recommended to clean it every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. If the car is often driven in environments with poor air quality, the intake tract is more prone to getting dirty, which over time can affect engine intake and lead to difficulties in starting the vehicle. In such cases, cleaning should be performed earlier as appropriate.

Is Cleaning the Car's Evaporator the Same as Cleaning the Air Conditioning System?

Cleaning the car's evaporator is the same as cleaning the air conditioning system. Here are the relevant details: 1. Air Conditioning Evaporator: Located inside the dashboard, when the air conditioning is turned on, the evaporator needs to exchange heat and cold, causing a large amount of condensation to form on its surface. At the same time, outside air entering the system may carry various dust particles, bacteria, and impurities, which adhere to the evaporator's surface along with the condensation. 2. Precautions: Since the air conditioning evaporator remains in a warm, dark, and damp environment when not in use, it is highly prone to the growth of various bacteria, including mold. Once mold finds a suitable environment, it can multiply rapidly. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary, and it is recommended to clean it once every year.
