Honda has resolved the issue of excessive engine oil. The relevant details are as follows: 1. Dongfeng Honda announced: To reduce excessive engine oil, an ECU upgrade will be performed, and a recall is being prepared. The CR-V will be recalled by the end of February, and the Civic will be recalled in early March. The markings on the oil dipstick will be adjusted—the upper and lower limits will remain unchanged, but an additional marking will be added to confirm excessive oil levels. Additionally, the user manual will be revised. 2. Brake failure: Apart from the issue of excessive engine oil, another serious quality problem with the Honda CR-V is brake failure. Based on numerous fault scene photos provided by owners, the vehicle malfunctions are largely similar. After the fault occurs, various warning lights appear on the dashboard, including those for the vehicle stability system, power steering system, low tire pressure warning, and brake system warning.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the CRV and the Haoying?

CRV has a minimum ground clearance of 135mm, while the Haoying has a minimum ground clearance of 208mm. More details about the CRV and Haoying are as follows: 1. The CRV's body dimensions are 4550mm*1820mm*1685mm, with a wheelbase of 2620mm; the Haoying's body dimensions are 4634mm*1855mm*1679mm, with a wheelbase of 2661mm. 2. The CRV is equipped with 2.0 and 2.4 displacement engines. The 2.4 displacement engine offers ample power, quick acceleration, and easy overtaking, while the 2.0 displacement engine has weaker power and slower acceleration. The Haoying is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 142kw, and the 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 146kw.

Is It Normal for a Newly Replaced Fuel Pump to Make Abnormal Noises?

Abnormal noises from a newly replaced fuel pump are not normal. The reasons for abnormal noises from a fuel pump are as follows: 1. The viscosity of the hydraulic oil is too high. 2. Improper installation of the fuel pump and motor, where the concentricity of the pump shaft and motor shaft is inconsistent, causing the pump shaft to bear radial force and generate noise. 3. The oil level in the tank is too low, or the suction pipe is blocked, increasing the suction resistance of the pump, leading to pump cavitation or air leakage in the inlet pipe section, causing the pump to suck in air and produce abnormal noises. Additional Information: Fuel pumps are suitable for transporting various types of oils, such as heavy oil, diesel, and lubricating oil. When equipped with copper gears, they can also transport low-flash-point liquids, such as gasoline and benzene.

Which region does the license plate 'Xin N' belong to?

Xin N is the license plate for the Aksu region in Xinjiang. More information about license plates is as follows: 1. A license plate number is a legal mark registered by statutory authorities that permits a motor vehicle to drive on the road, serving as an identification number for the vehicle. 2. License plates are used for numbering and information registration of vehicles. Their main function is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs, and they can also be used to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details. 3. License plates are plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle, typically made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 5.7L engine?

Driving habits vary, road conditions vary, traffic congestion, load capacity, etc., all differ, so does fuel consumption. A 5.7L engine typically consumes around 12L-15L per 100 kilometers. There is a certain relationship between engine displacement and fuel consumption, but a higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean a larger displacement. In a relative sense, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly correlate proportionally with fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Bumpy roads consume more fuel: Poor road conditions or bumpy surfaces force the vehicle to drive in lower gears for extended periods, inevitably increasing fuel consumption. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: Using the trunk as a storage space, cramming in all sorts of items whether useful or not, increases the car's weight. It's important to note that vehicle weight and fuel consumption are directly proportional. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can lead to a corresponding decrease in fuel consumption by several percentage points. Incorrect driving habits can double or triple fuel consumption: Improper driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues.

What Causes the Squealing Noise When Braking Hard?

The causes of squealing noise when braking hard are as follows: 1. Metal hard spots on brake pads: Brake pads may contain small metal particles inside. Light braking can produce sharp, piercing sounds. This issue can be resolved by stomping on the brakes several times, removing and resurfacing the brake pads, or replacing them with higher-quality ones. 2. Severely worn brake pads triggering the warning indicator: Brake pads usually have wear indicators. When the pads wear down to their limit, the indicator scrapes against the brake disc, producing a sharp metallic grinding noise. In this case, the brake pads must be replaced immediately to avoid damaging the brake disc and potential brake failure.

What is the function of a slipper clutch on a motorcycle?

Slipper clutches briefly disengage the clutch plates during rapid deceleration and consecutive downshifts, cutting off the connection between the engine and transmission. Below is relevant information about slipper clutches: Starting process: When the diaphragm spring is installed between the clutch cover and pressure plate, it creates pre-compression deformation that generates pressure on the pressure plate, causing the clutch's driving and driven components to press tightly together - meaning the clutch is in the engaged state. Engine power is transmitted through the flywheel (integrated with the crankshaft), clutch cover, and pressure plate to the driven plate, then via the driven plate's splined hub to the transmission input shaft. Engagement process: When the rider releases the clutch pedal, the pedal returns to its original position under the action of the return spring, simultaneously bringing the push rod and release bearing back to their positions. The movement of the operating mechanism during engagement is actually the disengagement process.
