Baojun 730 requires spark plug replacement every 40,000 kilometers. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparkers, function by discharging the pulsed high voltage electricity sent from the high-voltage wires (sparker wires), breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The Baojun 730 is a family MPV product under the SAIC-GM-Wuling Baojun brand, with body dimensions of 4780mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1755mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. In terms of exterior design, the rear styling of the Baojun 730 has undergone significant adjustments, with reduced chrome strips and an enlarged tailgate that spans the entire horizontal width of the rear. The tail lights have been redesigned from a split-type to a one-piece design, featuring sharp styling and a horizontal LED light strip that is fashionable, eye-catching, and exudes a sense of technology.

I've been driving my Baojun 730 for several years and typically replace the spark plugs every 40,000 kilometers. I remember when my car had just over 40,000 km on it, the startup began to feel sluggish, the engine occasionally shook, and fuel consumption noticeably increased a bit. I took it to the repair shop, and the technician said the spark plug electrode gap had widened, affecting ignition. After replacing them with a new pair of standard nickel-alloy spark plugs, which cost less than 200 yuan, the car immediately regained its power, acceleration became smooth, and fuel consumption returned to normal. I recommend Baojun owners not wait for issues to appear before replacing them; instead, regularly check the spark plugs' condition at around 30,000 km to see if there's any carbon buildup or wear. For city driving with frequent stops, wear might be faster, so preventive maintenance based on mileage is the safest approach. Also, during maintenance, check other ignition components to avoid related issues—don't skimp on small problems that could escalate into major repairs.

The replacement interval for the Baojun 730's spark plugs is typically around 40,000 kilometers, depending on the material used. Standard nickel alloy plugs have a shorter lifespan; after 40,000 km, the electrodes may accumulate carbon deposits or widen, leading to decreased ignition efficiency, which can cause engine shaking and difficulty starting. If upgraded to platinum or iridium spark plugs, they can last over 60,000 km, but the factory-installed ones are usually standard type. I recommend checking the ignition coils and aging of the cylinder wires when replacing them, as issues with the spark plugs in the overall ignition system can affect emissions and fuel consumption. Don't just focus on mileage; also consider the usage environment: highway driving may allow them to last longer, while urban congestion may require earlier inspection. During each maintenance, have the mechanic measure the electrode gap with a tester to prevent sudden stalling issues. Saving a little money on timely maintenance isn't worth it, as a sudden breakdown on the road can be a headache.

As a Baojun 730 owner, I typically replace the spark plugs at 40,000 kilometers. If you delay the replacement, the car may produce squeaky noises when starting or experience weak acceleration, along with noticeably increased fuel consumption. Pay attention to these symptoms during daily driving and proactively inspect when the time comes. A standard replacement is simple and inexpensive, costing around 100 to 200 yuan. Don’t risk extending the mileage—worn spark plugs can lead to unstable ignition. A simple approach: refer to the maintenance manual for mileage records and regularly verify at the service center.

Do I Need to Press the Clutch When Braking in Second Gear?

Whether to press the clutch when braking in second gear depends on how much speed you need to reduce. If the speed reduction is minimal, there's no need to press the clutch. However, if you need to significantly reduce speed without stopping, you should press the clutch first before braking. Here are a few scenarios: When the speed reduction is slight, such as decreasing from 70 km/h to 65 km/h, you can directly apply the brake without pressing the clutch. When you need to significantly reduce speed without stopping—for example, if you're in 5th gear at 70 km/h and need to slow down to 10 km/h—failing to press the clutch and applying heavy brakes will cause the vehicle to start shaking once the speed drops below a certain point (e.g., under 30 km/h). If the speed drops further or the vehicle stops, it may stall. In such cases, you should press the clutch first and then apply the brakes. The role of the clutch: The clutch allows the driving force of the car to increase gradually, enabling smooth starts. It temporarily separates the engine from the transmission for gear shifting, prevents overload in the drivetrain, and reduces torsional vibration impacts from the engine, thereby extending the lifespan of the transmission gears.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When an Electric Vehicle Gets Water Inside?

Electric vehicles producing abnormal noise after getting water inside is because water ingress after rain causes short circuits or malfunctions in the controller or wiring. Electric vehicles are relatively vulnerable to water, and it's common to hear sounds from the horn, alarm, or internal water flow after rain. Below are detailed explanations about water ingress in electric vehicles: Electric Vehicle Circuit Drying Method: The simplest troubleshooting method is using the circuit drying technique. The circuitry of an electric vehicle is not complex, especially for components like alarms, which are mostly located in the front. Use a screwdriver to remove the shell, carefully inspect the circuits, wipe away any internal water accumulation, and use tools like a hairdryer to dry out the moisture. Then, place the electric vehicle in a well-ventilated, dry area for some time. Generally, this can resolve the issue. Precautions for Water Ingress in Electric Vehicles: Do not power on immediately; ensure it is completely dry before resuming operation. Electric vehicles have certain waterproof capabilities, and most can be used again after drying. If the noise persists after 24-48 hours of being stationary, you can then inspect the control wiring of the electric vehicle. The main areas where the controller gets water are at the wire connectors, and water accumulation in control plugs can lead to appliance malfunctions. Disconnect each plug to drain the water and dry them with a hairdryer. If drying doesn't help, the vehicle should be sent to a repair shop for inspection.

Should you start the engine directly or wait for the voice prompt in Subject 3?

Subject 3 requires you to start the engine first and then wait for the voice prompt. The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the vehicle, simulated lighting test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, night driving, and safety and civilized driving knowledge test. Here are the precautions for the Subject 3 test: Inspection before getting on the vehicle: Before getting on the vehicle, you need to walk around the vehicle for inspection. There are two sensors on the test vehicle, and the examinee must be detected by the sensors during this walk-around to complete this step. Failure to do so will result in point deduction. Adjustments after getting on the vehicle: Once on the vehicle, first adjust the seat to a comfortable angle and position, then fasten the seat belt. This is the most crucial step—failure to fasten the seat belt will result in an immediate fail. After that, adjust the rearview mirror and shift gears before starting the engine. Body movements: During the test, examinees must perform certain body movements, such as looking back for observation. These movements must be executed properly to avoid point deductions due to improper execution. Follow the voice prompts: During the test, you must operate according to the voice prompts, following the steps one by one. Do not perform actions in advance, as this will result in point deductions. Maintain a good mindset: During the test, it is essential to stay calm. Many examinees become overly nervous upon hearing the voice prompts, leading to forgetfulness of the next steps. Examinees should prepare mentally before the test.

What does 'left airbag open circuit' mean?

Left airbag open circuit indicates a malfunction in the airbag system. Automobile Airbags: Automobile airbags are passive safety devices that rapidly inflate during a collision to protect occupants. How Car Airbags Work: When a vehicle experiences a certain level of impact force, the airbag system triggers a chemical reaction similar to a small explosive charge. The concealed airbags instantly inflate and deploy, creating a cushion between occupants and interior components before physical contact occurs. This reduces impact forces on the body, thereby minimizing occupant injuries.
