Headlight restoration can last for two to three years. The headlight cover is made of polycarbonate or polymethyl methacrylate plastic through injection molding. When the headlights are illuminated, they generate a significant amount of heat, which accelerates the aging of the plastic, causing the cover to lose its clarity and transparency, and even turn dim and yellow, directly affecting the lighting performance. Types of car headlights: 1. Halogen headlights: Currently the most commonly used type of headlight source by major car manufacturers across various vehicle models. Due to their relatively low cost, halogen lights are very suitable for more economical car models. 2. Xenon headlights: Currently a common form of headlights in mid-to-high-end cars. Due to their high brightness, xenon lights require the installation of lenses to ensure the emitted light is highly focused. 3. LED headlights: Currently, LED headlights are gradually becoming more visible, but more often, people only hear about LED daytime running lights. Due to their many advantages, LED headlights will slowly become the preferred choice for car headlights.

What is the function of the tube under a motorcycle engine?

The tube under a motorcycle engine is a breather tube, which releases internal pressure from the engine during operation. Below are specific details about motorcycle structures: Engine Block: The engine block consists of three parts: the cylinder head, cylinder body, and crankcase. The cylinder head is cast from aluminum alloy with cooling fins. Modern four-stroke motorcycle engines adopt an overhead valve, chain-driven, overhead camshaft configuration. Crankshaft and Connecting Rod: Motorcycle engine crankshafts use a combined structure, assembled from left and right half-shafts and a crank pin. The main journals of both half-shafts are equipped with ball bearings to support the crankshaft in the crankcase. The ends of the crankshaft are fitted with a flywheel, magneto, and clutch drive gear. Carburetor: The carburetor is a crucial component of the motorcycle's fuel supply system, located between the air filter and the engine intake. Its structure mainly comprises a float chamber and a mixing chamber. Lubrication System: Four-stroke engines use a combination of splash lubrication and pressure lubrication. Two-stroke engines typically employ a mixed lubrication method, blending gasoline with a certain proportion of QB-grade gasoline engine oil.

What documents are required for the first maintenance of a new car?

The items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; first maintenance certificate; vehicle's purchase invoice. Take these to the designated first maintenance institution for the vehicle's first maintenance. Note: Make an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial maintenance after the new car has been driven. The specific time varies by car, usually after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, and it can now be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time for the first insurance is calculated based on the date of picking up the car. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first is the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking whether various oil levels are normal, checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged, checking whether the tire pressure is normal, and checking whether the tires are damaged or bulging, etc. Required time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important part of the first maintenance for a new car is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must be replaced together. When selecting the engine oil, refer to the "Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual," as different models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the inside of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars themselves during holidays, washing the body with water and scrubbing with a cloth. Here, it is important to remind that the inside of the car body does not need to be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, brush them with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driver's cabin. If water enters, it will not dry but will flow through the holes to parts like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. The better approach is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is insufficient, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Since different brands of antifreeze have different chemical functions, various functional preservatives can corrode other functional preservatives. Different brands of antifreeze use different preservatives. Do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, they are usually oiled to make them work properly again. To prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to them, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is driving at high speed, the bolts and nuts can be easily loosened or even fall off, leading to driving failures. When promoting an EFI car, do not step on the accelerator: The promoter of an EFI car is different from that of an ordinary car. Its fuel injection control device can actively adjust the fuel supply based on the promoter's temperature and working conditions, making the promoter run smoothly.

Does the electric power steering system require power steering fluid?

Electric power steering systems do not require power steering fluid. Such steering systems have no hydraulic mechanism or power steering pump. The electric power steering system directly relies on an electric motor to provide steering assistance. Most luxury cars and sports cars typically use this type of power steering system. There are three common types of power steering systems in vehicles: electro-hydraulic power steering, mechanical hydraulic power steering, and electric power steering. Both electro-hydraulic and mechanical hydraulic power steering systems generally have hydraulic mechanisms and power steering pumps, and these two types of systems usually require the use of power steering fluid.

What is the lifespan of a motorcycle ignition coil?

Motorcycle ignition coils generally have a lifespan of around 100,000 kilometers. Here are specific details about motorcycle ignition coils: Warning signs of failure: The warning signs of a failing automotive ignition coil are quite noticeable. When a vehicle suddenly experiences abnormal vibrations during operation accompanied by significant power loss, this may indicate potential ignition coil issues. Impact of failure: Once an ignition coil malfunctions, it will cause the spark plug to stop working. Consequently, the air-fuel mixture in that cylinder won't combust. With one cylinder non-functional, the vehicle will experience power loss, and in severe cases, may even stall completely.
