The horsepower of the 485 engine is approximately 45 hp. Horsepower can be converted into power, which is an important performance parameter of an engine. It indicates how much work an object can perform per unit of time. The greater the power, the more work can be done per unit of time. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Its components include: two crank-link mechanisms and a valve train. The engine consists of: 1. Fuel supply system; 2. Cooling system; 3. Lubrication system; 4. Ignition and starting system. It converts linear motion into rotational motion, providing the basic power guarantee for the operation of the car.

I've been repairing vehicles for over a decade, and the 485 diesel engine is an old acquaintance in light trucks and agricultural vehicles. The standard version barely exceeds 50 horsepower, just enough to haul two or three tons of cargo. If you flash the ECU or replace the turbocharger, you might squeeze out around 65 horsepower. But I must warn you, such modifications on old engines can easily lead to cylinder explosions, especially during long-distance trips or hill climbs when the water temperature spikes rapidly. Last time, an owner stubbornly insisted on modifying it, and the piston rings ended up melting—the repair cost more than a brand-new engine.

How Long Can You Park in a Gas Station Parking Space?

There is no time limit for parking in the designated spaces. Gas stations fall under public road jurisdiction, allowing public vehicle access, and traffic police can penalize illegally parked vehicles within the premises. According to regulations, gas stations may designate parking spaces within their property boundaries, provided they do not obstruct normal traffic flow. Vehicles parked within these spaces are not considered illegally parked, whereas parking outside them constitutes a violation. Important refueling precautions include: 1. Avoid overfilling: In summer, high temperatures and the vehicle's own heat cause gasoline to expand. To prevent tank damage from fuel expansion, tanks are equipped with vent holes. 2. Refuel before the fuel light comes on: Monitor the fuel gauge while driving and refuel when it shows one-quarter remaining. Relying on the fuel light can harm the electric fuel pump, which relies on gasoline for lubrication and cooling. Frequent low-fuel conditions may shorten the pump's lifespan.

What does a yellow engine light mean?

A yellow engine light indicates a fault in the engine, which can be caused by: 1. Poor quality gasoline leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, resulting in excessive carbon deposits, clogged fuel lines, and potential corrosion of components, affecting the normal concentration of the air-fuel mixture and causing engine malfunction accompanied by shaking; 2. Damaged or loose oxygen sensor or sensor connector, leading to an overly lean or rich air-fuel mixture and engine malfunction; 3. If the air flow sensor or its circuit malfunctions, the engine control unit will not receive accurate intake air volume signals, preventing proper fuel quantity adjustment, thereby causing an overly lean or rich air-fuel mixture, engine malfunction, and sometimes triggering the engine warning light; 4. Spark plug carbon deposits can cause poor engine performance, resulting in difficulties starting, unstable idling, poor acceleration, backfiring during rapid acceleration, excessive exhaust emissions, increased fuel consumption, and other abnormal symptoms.

How Long is the Vehicle Battery Warranty?

Vehicle batteries are warranted for one year. If any issues arise with the vehicle battery within this period, it can be replaced free of charge. The functions of the battery are: 1. When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system; 2. When the engine is off or idling at low speed, it powers the vehicle's electrical equipment; 3. When the generator's output is insufficient, it assists in powering the electrical equipment; 4. It mitigates voltage surges in the electrical system, protecting the vehicle's electronic devices; 5. It stores excess electricity generated by the alternator. Battery maintenance methods include: 1. Starting the car periodically to charge the battery; 2. Adding distilled water or a specialized replenishing fluid when the electrolyte level is low; 3. Regularly checking if the vent holes on the battery cover are clear; 4. Inspecting the battery terminals for signs of oxidation; 5. Checking all parts of the circuit for aging or short circuits; 6. Turning off all electrical equipment when leaving the vehicle.

How Long Are Driving License Demerit Points Retained?

Generally, driving license demerit points are retained for one year. As long as the driver does not accumulate 12 demerit points within a year, the demerit points will be automatically cleared at the start of the next year, resetting the driving license score to zero. However, traffic violation records will remain until the driver settles the corresponding traffic fines; otherwise, they will be permanently retained. Below are relevant details: 1. Reaching 12 points: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 demerit points within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall detain their driving license. 2. Mandatory training: The driver must attend a seven-day training program on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 15 days at either the issuing authority of their driving license or the traffic management department where the violation occurred. After completing the training, the vehicle management office must conduct an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. If the driver passes the exam, their demerit points will be cleared, and their driving license will be returned. If they fail, they must continue attending training and retaking the exam.
