Engine sludge should be cleaned every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Here is some relevant information: 1. Engine sludge: Engine sludge forms when large molecules polymerize under the high-temperature operation of the engine, causing the engine oil to thicken, which means the viscosity of the oil changes, gradually forming sludge. 2. Engine: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, first developed in the UK. The term engine can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power unit (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines).

What is the maintenance interval for the Aion LX?

AionLX's maintenance interval is generally every 7,000 kilometers for a minor service and every 15,000 kilometers for a major service. The Aion LX is a pure electric vehicle, so its maintenance schedule differs from that of fuel-powered cars. For pure electric vehicles, maintenance items are relatively simple, primarily involving the replacement of the cabin air filter and inspections of lighting, brakes, etc. Compared to traditional fuel-powered cars, electric vehicles do not have engines or transmissions, eliminating the need for air filter and transmission fluid changes. However, routine inspections, adjustments, and cleaning are still necessary. Most electric vehicles also require gearbox oil, brake fluid, and coolant replacements, so maintenance is still essential for electric cars. The Aion LX has body dimensions of 4786mm in length, 1935mm in width, and 1685mm in height.

Why is the braking system of Geely Vision not working properly?

Geely Vision's braking system may not work properly due to lack of necessary maintenance, severe overloading of the vehicle, or improper operation leading to mechanical failure. Other reasons: Too many impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, dirty brake fluid, or mixing different types of brake fluid can all cause brake failure. Introduction to braking: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force.

Why does the Passat's oil warning light keep coming on when there's no lack of oil?

Passat's oil warning light keeps coming on when there's no lack of oil for the following reasons: Excessive oil viscosity: The viscosity of the oil is closely related to its quality. The higher the viscosity, the better the oil's resistance to high temperatures, and vice versa. However, higher viscosity doesn't always mean better. Car owners should use oil grades that match their engine specifications. Pressure relief valve clogged or improperly adjusted: To prevent excessively high oil pressure in the lubrication system, which increases engine power consumption and causes oil leaks at sealed connections in the oil circuit, a pressure relief valve is installed in the main oil passage or oil pump. Its function is to limit the oil pressure in the lubrication system to ensure it doesn't exceed the specified value. A faulty pressure relief valve can lead to abnormal oil pressure, causing the oil warning light to illuminate.
