Platinum spark plug lifespan varies depending on the type: single platinum spark plugs last 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, while double platinum spark plugs last approximately 80,000 kilometers. The functions of spark plugs are: 1. Introducing high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder; 2. Generating sparks between the spark plug electrode gaps to ignite the air-fuel mixture, ensuring normal engine operation. The removal method for spark plugs is: 1. Clean any dust or debris around the spark plug area using compressed air or a soft tube for blowing; 2. Ensure the engine is in a cold state; 3. Protect the spark plug installation port immediately after removal to prevent debris or dust from entering the cylinder; 4. Avoid damaging the insulating porcelain body when using a wrench; 5. Do not bend or strike the center electrode when adjusting the spark plug gap.

Is the Dynaken Range Rover a Land Rover?

Dynaken Range Rover is indeed a Land Rover. Here are the specific details: Reason: Although it is not called the Land Rover Range Rover, it is essentially still a Land Rover Range Rover. This involves issues related to 3C product naming and customs declaration adjustments. Most parallel-imported vehicles enter the country under the 3C form, which dictates the vehicle's name. Vehicles imported through small 3C channels are considered modified vehicles (nominally modified vehicles), and their product names must not duplicate those of officially imported models. Origin of the Dynaken Range Rover: The Dynaken Range Rover is a parallel-imported version of the "Land Rover Range Rover." It was originally manufactured by Land Rover and later modified by "Abdullah Abdulafani Brothers Group subsidiary" to become the "Dynaken Range Rover" product. It is then imported through "non-Land Rover original factory channels," hence it cannot be called Land Rover Range Rover in the domestic market.

How many kilometers does an Audi Q5 need to run before requiring a major overhaul?

This situation depends on how well the engine is maintained. With normal maintenance, the engine can be used for 300,000 kilometers without needing a major overhaul. It is recommended to perform regular maintenance on time. Introduction to car major overhaul: A car major overhaul refers to a restorative repair where a new car or a car that has undergone a major overhaul, after traveling a certain mileage or time, undergoes testing, diagnosis, and technical evaluation. The repair or replacement of car parts is used to fully or nearly fully restore the vehicle's technical performance. Phenomena indicating a car major overhaul is needed: Uneven cylinder pressure: The cylinder compression pressure should meet the original design specifications. If it does not meet the requirements when checked with a tachometer and cylinder pressure gauge, it is considered unqualified if there is a pressure difference between cylinders. Large idle speed fluctuations: The engine idle speed should operate stably, with the speed conforming to the original design specifications. Low power: The engine's maximum power should not be less than 90% of the originally designed rated value, as measured by a dynamometer according to relevant regulations.

What battery does the Axela use?

The Axela comes with a British ALEPH 55D36L battery as standard. It has a capacity of 55AH. The battery is an essential part of a car and can be categorized into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Below are some precautions regarding the Axela battery: 1. Liquid level: The electrolyte level should always be maintained between max and min. Check it monthly and top up with distilled water (pure water) as needed. Never add acid. 2. Timely charging: When the battery voltage is low, and the lights are dim or the engine struggles to start, perform an external charge promptly. Avoid overcharging or prolonged undercharging, as overcharging can cause active material shedding, while undercharging can lead to plate sulfation. Ensure the regulator voltage is neither too high nor too low. 3. Precautions: During use, regularly check if the vent holes are clear to prevent battery deformation or explosion. Keep the battery away from heat sources and open flames. Ensure proper ventilation during charging and use to prevent burns or injuries.

Why is the car key unresponsive after replacing the battery?

After replacing the car key battery, it needs to be re-paired before it can be used. Below are specific instructions for car key replacement: 1. Re-pairing method: Insert the remote key, turn it to the "1" position, then quickly return it to the 0 position. Repeat this 4 times and swiftly remove the key. Press any button, such as the unlock button, for 4-5 seconds until you hear a sound from inside the car. The key coding is now complete. 2. Smart key principle: Smart keys can emit infrared signals to open one or two doors, the trunk, and the fuel filler cap, as well as operate the car's windows and sunroof. More advanced smart keys resemble credit cards; when the driver touches the door handle, the central locking system activates and sends a wireless query signal. After the smart key card responds correctly, the car lock automatically opens. The engine will only start when the central processor detects the key card inside the car.

Is Cadillac very fuel-consuming?

Cadillac is relatively fuel-consuming compared to vehicles in the same class. Different models use engines with varying displacements, so the fuel consumption will differ. Here is more information about Cadillac's fuel consumption: 1. Normal fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for cars: (1) Compact cars consume 6-10 liters; (2) Mid-size cars consume 8-12 liters; (3) Large cars consume 12-18 liters. 2. Fuel-saving tips for cars: (1) Maintain good driving habits; (2) Shift gears frequently; (3) Keep a steady speed. 3. Constant-Speed Fuel Economy: Constant-speed fuel economy refers to the fuel efficiency indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator.
