The car's evaporator should be cleaned once a year. The evaporator is a radiator device for the car engine and air conditioning system, located behind the glove compartment and integrated with the heater core. There are several types of car evaporators: 1. Horizontal evaporator; 2. Vertical tube evaporator; 3. Spiral tube evaporator; 4. Air-cooling evaporator; 5. Liquid coolant evaporator. The function of the car evaporator is to transform the refrigerant from liquid to gaseous state, absorbing substantial surrounding heat. The resulting low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant vapor then re-enters the compressor. This repeated cycle achieves cooling, providing occupants with a comfortable environment, reducing driver fatigue, and enhancing driving safety.

How much higher is the ground clearance of an SUV compared to a sedan?

SUVs have a ground clearance that is 55~100mm higher than sedans. Below is an extended introduction about sedans: Invention History: In 1879, German engineer Karl-Benz successfully tested a two-stroke experimental engine for the first time. In October 1883, he founded "Benz & Cie." In 1885, he produced the first Benz Patent Motorwagen in Mannheim. Initial Characteristics: This motor vehicle was a three-wheeled car, equipped with a two-stroke single-cylinder 0.9 horsepower gasoline engine. It featured some basic characteristics of modern automobiles, such as spark ignition, water cooling circulation, steel tube frame, leaf spring suspension, rear-wheel drive with front-wheel steering, and a hand brake lever.

What to Do When Brakes Fail While Driving?

When experiencing brake failure while driving, the vehicle owner needs to control the direction based on road conditions and speed, shift from high gear to low gear, and simultaneously press the accelerator to maintain control of the vehicle. If brake failure is detected while going uphill, promptly downshift to medium or low gear to maintain sufficient power to reach the top of the slope and stop. If stopping midway on a slope is necessary, keep the vehicle in low forward gear, firmly engage the handbrake, and have passengers promptly use stones, wooden blocks, or other objects to chock the wheels. The effectiveness of a car's brakes depends on the brake pads, which consist of a steel plate connecting the heat insulation layer and the friction block. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conducting materials, while the friction block is primarily composed of friction materials and adhesives.

Does the 2019 Tiguan L come with a particulate filter?

The 2019 Tiguan L does not come with a particulate filter. The 2020 and 2021 Tiguan L 330TSI models equipped with the EA888-DPL engine have already been fitted with particulate filters. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon smoke particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the 2019 Tiguan L comes with a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Check whether there is a cylindrical section behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

How to Clean Vehicle Carbon Deposits?

Methods for cleaning vehicle carbon deposits: 1. The engine needs to be disassembled, and then cleaning agents, ultrasonic methods, etc., are used to completely and thoroughly remove carbon deposits from the components; 2. Using an engine cleaning drip: Hang a bottle-shaped tool above the engine, pour the cleaning agent into the bottle-shaped tool, and introduce it into the engine through a conduit; 3. Machine cleaning: Inject the cleaning agent into a machine, then pressurize the machine to spray it into the combustion chamber, allowing the cleaning agent to react with and dissolve the carbon deposits, and then extract the waste liquid. Vehicle carbon deposits refer to a coking-like substance produced by unsaturated olefins and colloids in fuel under high-temperature conditions during engine operation.

Why is the Supra called the Bull Demon King?

Toyota Supra has outstanding power among sports cars in its class, with an excellent starting effect, so many people simply call it the Bull Demon King. More information about the Toyota Supra is as follows: Appearance: The car's appearance is very close to the 2014 FT-1 concept car, but the formula racing-style nose has been modified to be more low-key. The car retains the FT-1's double-bubble roof. Especially when the rearview mirrors are folded, it's hard to see the similarities between the new Supra and the BMW Z4 in appearance. Configuration: The car will be equipped with BMW's turbocharged 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines, with power and torque ranging from 145kW/320Nm to 250kW/500Nm. Both the new Supra and the BMW Z4 will be produced on the Magna Steyr production line in Hungary.

Does installing a roof rack on an SUV require registration?

Installing a roof rack on an SUV requires registration. More relevant information is as follows: Height requirements: For passenger cars, the height of cargo loaded on the roof rack must not exceed 0.5 meters from the roof or 4 meters from the ground. If the vehicle originally has a roof rack and a roof box is installed, it is legal as long as it does not exceed half a meter; or if the loaded items do not exceed half a meter, it is also legal. Otherwise, it is illegal. Note: Adding a roof rack is not illegal, and there are no issues whether driving on urban roads or highways. Of course, there are some restrictions for roof boxes. Placing a bicycle on the roof rack is not allowed. Although this is often seen in some European and American countries, it is not permitted in China due to significant differences in conditions (posing safety hazards).
