Power steering fluid should be replaced every 40,000-50,000 kilometers or within 2-3 years. Method for changing power steering fluid: When changing the fluid, air needs to be purged from the system during refilling or if air gets mixed into the steering system. The bleeding procedure is as follows: First fill the fluid to the specified level in the reservoir, then start the engine and lift the front axle. With the engine idling, remove the drain plug at the bottom of the steering gear. Turn the steering wheel fully left and right several times, repeating this process while continuously topping up the reservoir. Simultaneously, loosen the system's bleed screw until the fluid fills the entire system with no air bubbles emerging from the bleed port, and the reservoir level stabilizes. Finally, tighten the bleed screw. Precautions for changing power steering fluid: Do not operate the power steering pump for extended periods as this may damage the pump. Never use transmission fluid as a substitute for power steering fluid - these fluids have different viscosities, molecular structures, and functions.

Should You Use High Beam or Low Beam on Highways?

When driving on highways at night, it is advisable to use high beams. The surroundings of highways at night are generally very dark, making it difficult for drivers to see the road conditions clearly. Typically, low beams only illuminate up to 30 meters ahead. Given the high speeds on highways, if there is an obstacle ahead, the driver may not have enough time to react, which can easily lead to accidents. Therefore, it is best to use high beams when driving on highways. Using low beams at high speeds can be very dangerous, even fatal. High beams illuminate a range of about 60 to 70 meters, providing sufficient reaction time in case of emergencies. There is no need to worry about high beams affecting oncoming vehicles, as the central median usually consists of green vegetation or metal barriers that can block almost all the light, ensuring that the drivers of oncoming vehicles are not dazzled.

How to Adjust the Vehicle's Side Mirrors?

Methods for adjusting the vehicle's side mirrors: 1. For the left side mirror, use the ground as a reference. Adjust it so that the mirror fully shows the second handle at the rear of the vehicle and also provides a view of the ground; 2. For the right side mirror, adjust it to show half of the rear handle and the ground line, with a slight downward tilt; 3. Adjust the interior rearview mirror to have a clear view of the rear window; 4. Avoid adjusting the exterior mirrors too high—they should provide a view of the ground and the roadside; 5. During adjustment, minimize blind spots. The smaller the blind spot range while driving, the higher the corresponding driving safety factor.

Is the engine of the WEY VV6 a domestic brand?

The engine of the WEY VV6 is domestically produced, developed independently by Great Wall. The WEY VV6 is equipped with two types of engines. The models are E20CB and GW4C20B. The E20CB engine has a maximum horsepower of 227 HP, a maximum power output of 167 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 387 N·m. The GW4C20B engine has a maximum horsepower of 224 HP, a maximum power output of 165 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 385 N·m. For daily maintenance of the WEY VV6 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD-SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB-CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area and accelerating engine wear and internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the function of a cylinder head gasket?

The function of a cylinder head gasket is to ensure a good seal between the cylinder block and the cylinder head, thereby maintaining the sealing of the combustion chamber and preventing gas leakage from the cylinder and coolant leakage from the water jacket. The cylinder head gasket is a sealing component placed between the top surface of the engine block and the bottom surface of the cylinder head. It ensures that the combustion chamber remains sealed to prevent gas leakage and that the coolant and engine oil flowing from the engine block to the cylinder head do not leak. During engine operation, the temperature inside the cylinder is very high, and both the engine oil and coolant have certain corrosive properties. Therefore, the cylinder head gasket must possess heat resistance and corrosion resistance. There are tiny gaps between the cylinder block and the cylinder head, and the top surface of the engine block and the bottom surface of the cylinder head have certain roughness and unevenness. Additionally, the cylinder head may deform under stress during engine operation. Hence, the cylinder head gasket must not only have sufficient strength, pressure resistance, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance but also a certain degree of elasticity.

What are the reasons for a car frequently stalling?

Reasons for a car frequently stalling: 1. The radiator temperature is too high; 2. Issues with the belt—if the belt is loose and power supply is insufficient, the car may stall; 3. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle, idle motor, intake tract, intake valves, and combustion chamber; 4. Vacuum leakage in the intake pipe; 5. Sensor malfunction—due to inherent errors in sensors, certain values may change momentarily after prolonged heating, causing the ECU to make incorrect judgments; 6. Problems with the battery, such as insufficient charge; 7. Leakage in the fuel supply system connections; 8. Use of low-quality fuel leading to carbon buildup in the engine.

What tires does the Haval H6 use?

The Haval H6 uses tires sized 235/55R19 and 235/60R18. The specifications of car tires are usually marked on the sidewall of the tire. It is common for different configurations of the same model to use tires of different sizes. Higher-end configurations require larger rims, hence they also require larger tires. The Haval H6 is a compact SUV with a 5-door, 5-seat body structure. Its dimensions are 4653mm in length, 1886mm in width, and 1730mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2738mm. It is equipped with MacPherson independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
