Car belts should generally be replaced every 2 years. The installation method for the belt is as follows: 1. Align the ignition marks of the crankshaft and camshaft; 2. Place the belt on the crankshaft pulley and then smoothly guide it upward from the side opposite the tensioner pulley to the camshaft pulley; 3. Fold the belt into the side of the tensioner pulley and tighten the tensioner. The belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve timing system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft and maintaining a specific transmission ratio. Steps for replacing the belt: 1. Lift the car with a jack; 2. Remove the engine undercover; 3. After removing the undercover, locate the generator belt; 4. Remove the exposed old generator belt; 5. Install the new engine belt. Situations requiring belt replacement: 1. Abnormal belt wear; 2. Belt folding failure; 3. Belt impact load.

What are the symptoms of a slipping clutch disc?

The following are the symptoms of a slipping clutch disc: 1. When you step hard on the accelerator, the engine speed increases rapidly, but the vehicle speed does not increase accordingly. You can clearly feel a lack of acceleration power. 2. When starting the car with the clutch pedal fully released, you still feel insufficient starting power or difficulty in starting. 3. The slipping is more noticeable when the car is heavily loaded going uphill or driving on muddy or soft roads. In severe cases, a burning smell may emit from the clutch. 4. When braking while driving, the engine does not stall but continues to run normally. A slipping clutch can easily cause the following hazards: 1. Power loss, energy dissipation, rolling back on slopes, insufficient reverse traction, and weak driving performance. 2. Incomplete separation can cause instant damage to the transmission gears, drive shaft, and differential, and prolonged use can lead to engine damage.

What are the symptoms of a damaged engine cylinder head?

The symptoms of a damaged engine cylinder head include engine weakness, one or two cylinders not working, and blockage in the water passage. Engine weakness: After the cylinder head is damaged, acceleration becomes difficult, and you often feel the engine is weak while driving. Additionally, there may be a leaking sound at the joint between the cylinder head and the cylinder block or in certain areas. One or two cylinders not working: After the cylinder head is damaged, some cylinders may stop working, producing abnormal noises; the radiator's water filler port continuously emits bubbles, and oil droplets may appear on the surface of the coolant; the engine oil turns milky white, and water droplets continuously flow from the exhaust pipe. Blockage in the water passage: If there is accumulated water in the water passage after the cylinder head is damaged, blockage may occur; the cooling fins of the diesel engine cylinder head may also become blocked, causing localized overheating. Overheating in the water cavity area between the intake and exhaust passages can lead to insufficient engine power or even failure to start.

What does it mean when an electronic driver's license has unhandled violations?

Electronic driver's license with unhandled violations refers to situations where the driver's license and vehicle bound to the 12123 app have committed traffic violations that have not been addressed. For example, if there are penalty points and fines for traffic violations on the license but the driver has not gone to the vehicle management office to clear the points or pay the fines, etc. This serves as a reminder for the vehicle owner to handle these matters. Methods to check for violations: You can check within the Traffic Management 12123 app by clicking on the violation records, where you can see details of unhandled violations such as the location, time, and photos taken of the violation. If violations are indeed present, these records need to be addressed. Consequences of not handling violations: Generally, late fees start accruing from the 16th day after the violation. If a vehicle under the driver's license has unhandled violations, it may affect the renewal of the driver's license upon its expiration. The renewal application will not be approved during the review process at the vehicle management office.

How to Open the Engine Hood of the Leiling?

There is a release handle located under the dashboard near the driver's left calf, facing towards the front of the car. Pulling this handle will cause the hood to pop up approximately 1cm, after which you can open the engine hood by applying force. Functions of the engine hood: 1. Airflow guidance. The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and the resistance it generates, reducing the impact of airflow on the vehicle. 2. Protection for the engine and surrounding pipeline components. By enhancing the strength and structure of the hood, it can fully prevent adverse effects such as impacts, corrosion, rainwater, and electrical interference, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle. 3. Aesthetics. The exterior design of a vehicle is a direct reflection of its value. As an important part of the overall appearance, the hood plays a crucial role in being visually pleasing and embodying the concept of the entire car. 4. Assisting driving vision. During driving, the driver's forward visibility and the reflection of natural light are crucial for correctly judging road conditions and what lies ahead. The shape of the hood can effectively adjust the direction and form of reflected light, thereby reducing the impact of light on the driver.
