BMW 3 Series 320 is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power output of 115kw and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. In terms of the transmission system configuration, the engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Here is more information about the engine: 1. The four-cylinder engine is commonly found in household vehicles. Generally, most cars on the market use four-cylinder engines, with only a few models using three-cylinder engines. This is because the production technology for four-cylinder engines is more mature, making the engine more stable during operation. 2. Due to the inherent structural issues of three-cylinder engines, they have some design flaws. Compared to four-cylinder engines, three-cylinder engines tend to produce vibrations during operation, making them less stable than four-cylinder engines. 3. Because three-cylinder engines lack one cylinder, they are lighter in weight and have a smaller volume. This helps reduce the overall weight of the vehicle to some extent and aligns with the trend of vehicle lightweighting.

Is EXH Intake or Exhaust?

EXH stands for exhaust. Exhaust: The full form of 'e' is exit, which means exhaust, while intake is represented by 'i', which stands for 'in'. The cylinder head, made of cast iron or aluminum alloy, serves as the mounting base for the valve mechanism and also acts as the sealing cover for the cylinder. Cylinder Head Damage: Common issues include warping deformation of the sealing surface between the cylinder head and cylinder bore (compromising the seal), cracks in the intake and exhaust valve seat holes, and damage to the spark plug installation threads. Particularly for cylinder heads cast from aluminum alloy, due to their lower material hardness and relatively weaker strength, they are more prone to deformation and damage, leading to a higher consumption rate compared to those made of cast iron.

How to Remove Bad Odors Inside a Car?

Here are some quick methods to eliminate bad odors inside a car: 1. Use fresh-smelling car fragrances: Place car fragrances such as perfumes or air fresheners inside the vehicle. These are popular products many car owners purchase. The automotive accessories market offers various brands and types of car fragrances, but some are of poor quality. Using low-quality fragrances can backfire, as their scents may mix with the existing odors, either worsening the smell or causing symptoms like dizziness and nausea. When selecting car fragrances, besides paying attention to product quality, opt for those with a fresh scent. 2. Use fruits to remove car odors: Certain fruits, such as lemons, oranges, and pineapples, can help eliminate bad odors. The natural fragrance of these fruits will gradually spread throughout the car, masking the unpleasant smells.

Where is the most accurate place to connect the motorcycle tachometer signal wire?

Motorcycle tachometer signal wire connects the speed sensor to the instrument panel. Tachometer: It is one of the essential instruments in the mechanical industry, used to measure the speed, linear velocity, or frequency of motors. Commonly applied in manufacturing sectors such as motors, fans, papermaking, plastics, chemical fibers, washing machines, automobiles, aircraft, ships, etc. Working principle: The tachometer processes the received digital pulse signals (emitted by the sensor) and directly inputs them into the CPU's counting port. The software calculates the speed and the corresponding position of the pointer, then through the CPU's control port, amplifies and drives the stepper motor to rotate in both positive and negative directions, indicating the corresponding speed value (the pointer is directly mounted on the rotating shaft of the stepper motor). Each step of the stepper motor is only 1/3 degree.

For automatic transmission (C2) Subject 2, the hill start and stop is not included. A C1 driver's license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, among others. C1 license exams consist of four subjects, with the other subjects as follows: Subject 1: Mainly tests basic knowledge of road traffic rules. Subject 3: Tests 16 driving skills including vehicle preparation, starting, straight-line driving, etc. Subject 4: Tests safe and civilized driving operation requirements, similar to Subject 1, it is a theoretical exam. Subject 2 Exam Tips: Before starting the car during the Subject 2 exam, adjust the seat height and rearview mirrors to ensure a wide field of vision, and fasten the seat belt. During the exam, do not stop unless the system indicates a failure. For parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, and react promptly to match the car's speed. For hill start and stop, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, and stabilize the clutch. Press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turning, find the reference point before turning and coordinate with the car's speed. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down. For reversing into a garage, control the speed, find the reference point, and make minor adjustments if the rearview mirror shows any deviation. Subject 2 Deduction Items: Reversing into a garage: Vehicle body crossing the line—100 points deducted, failing the exam; failing to reverse into the garage—100 points deducted, failing the exam; stopping midway—5 points deducted each time; failing to complete the exam within the specified time—100 points deducted, failing the exam.

What are the reasons for a car having fuel and electricity but failing to start?

There are several reasons why a car has fuel and electricity but fails to start: First, check the spark plugs: Since spark plugs are crucial to the car's ignition system, and the ignition system is key to the engine's operation, the performance of the spark plugs directly affects the overall working performance and efficiency of the vehicle. Battery depletion: The characteristic symptom is that the starter begins to turn but lacks sufficient speed or power, and later, the starter only makes a clicking sound without turning. If this occurs, call the service station for assistance, jump-start the car, or temporarily start it, but be sure to take the battery to the service station for a recharge afterward. Fuel flow obstruction: The characteristic symptom is the absence of fuel pressure in the engine's fuel supply line.
