Taking the 1.5 Fengxing 330 as an example, the actual fuel consumption is at least 9 liters per 100 kilometers. If the air conditioner is turned on while driving in the city, it costs approximately 35 yuan per hour. Car air conditioner maintenance methods: 1. Comprehensive air conditioner inspection: When using the air conditioner for the first time in summer, inspect the air conditioning system first. For example, check the refrigerant and whether the air filter is too dirty through the liquid storage tank, and whether there are any foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to air conditioner cleaning: The air filter should be replaced regularly, as there is a lot of sand and dust in spring, along with willow catkins flying around, which can stick to the filter and promote bacterial growth, causing a musty smell in the air conditioner. Therefore, it is best to replace it once after every spring.

What to Do When There's Fog Inside the Car on Rainy Days?

The solutions for fog inside the car on rainy days are: 1. Car defogger: There are specialized defoggers for cars to address fogging. You can evenly spray the defogger on the surface of the car glass and then wipe it clean to remove the fog. Its principle is to form a transparent protective film on the glass to prevent water vapor from condensing on its surface. 2. Turn on the car's air circulation system: With technological advancements, most vehicles nowadays are equipped with an air circulation system. This system can help ventilate the air inside the car. If fog forms inside the car, you can eliminate it by turning on the air circulation system. However, it also has a drawback: keeping the air circulation system on for a long time will gradually reduce the warmth inside the car.

What Causes a New Car to Pull to One Side?

The reasons why a new car may pull to one side are: 1. Inconsistent tire pressure in the drive wheels, leading to uneven wear between the drive wheels and the ground, causing the car to pull; 2. Suspension system faults, such as damage, deformation, or misalignment of the suspension components, can cause the car to pull; 3. Inconsistent wheelbase on the left and right sides—when the car is moving, it will tend to pull toward the side with the shorter wheelbase. Solutions for a new car pulling to one side include: 1. Adjust the belt tension according to specifications and tighten the connecting screws of all components; 2. Inspect all connection points of the oil pipes and tighten the connecting bolts; 3. Replace the oil pipes, power steering pump, or power steering gear; 4. Fill the oil to the specified level and inspect or replace the oil cup.

Is Coolant the Same as Antifreeze?

Coolant and antifreeze are not the same. Below are the specific differences between automotive coolant and antifreeze: 1. Coolant refers to the liquid that can lower the engine's temperature; antifreeze, whose full name is antifreeze coolant, can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the vehicle is parked in cold winter. 2. The difference between coolant and antifreeze is that coolant may only have a cooling function, while antifreeze has both cooling and antifreeze functions. For example, coolant can be water or antifreeze. 3. If the coolant is water, it will be affected by cold seasons. Antifreeze is a coolant with antifreeze properties and can be used all year round. 4. Coolant is composed of ethylene glycol, dye, pure water, and coolant additives.
