How often should the Borui be maintained?

Borui maintenance depends on the type of oil used. For full synthetic oil, it's once a year or every 10,000 kilometers, while for semi-synthetic oil, it's every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Classification of engine oil: Engine oil is divided into three categories: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The replacement cycles for these three types of oil vary. Generally, mineral oil should be replaced every six months or 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every six months or 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Precautions for adding engine oil: The quality of the engine oil has a significant impact on the working environment of the engine. The engine operates in a high-temperature environment, continuously repeating mechanical friction movements. In this process, the oil plays a role in cooling, lubricating, and cleaning. Over time, the impurities in the oil increase, and its performance declines accordingly.

I've been driving the Borui for a while now, and the manual clearly recommends a basic maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, including things like oil changes and filter checks. I strictly follow this because aging oil can damage the engine, and delaying it can lead to louder engine noises or even shaking. Last time, I was busy with work and delayed the maintenance by two weeks. When I took it to the shop, the mechanic said the filter had accumulated a layer of sludge, which cost extra to clean. Maintenance isn't a hassle—usually, an oil change and checks on the brakes and tires take about an hour. Just get into the habit of checking the odometer every 5,000 kilometers. The first three years with a new car are especially important to maintain regularity to avoid major repair costs—after all, replacing an engine is too expensive. When parking daily, take a quick glance at the dipstick; if the oil looks black, it's a reminder to send it for service. The Borui is a great car—don't lose big for small savings!

Can the engine still run with slight cylinder scoring?

An engine with slight cylinder scoring should not continue to run. Engine: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. The term engine can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power unit. The original meaning of engine refers to a "mechanical device that generates power." External Combustion Engine: Its fuel burns outside the engine, invented in 1816 by R. Stirling of Scotland, hence also known as the Stirling engine. The engine converts the thermal energy generated by this combustion into kinetic energy. The steam engine improved by Watt is a typical example of an external combustion engine. When a large amount of coal burns to generate heat, it heats water into a large amount of steam, creating high pressure. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy.

What are the reasons for reverse folding of rearview mirrors?

The electric folding function of the exterior rearview mirror fails. Excluding mechanical and electronic control reasons, there are two main reasons why people often encounter the failure of the electric folding function. Battery disconnected or dead: The exterior rearview mirror must be reset to function properly. The specific reset method is to manually operate the folding button. Manual folding: After setting "fold the rearview mirror when locking the car," if you manually fold it, the exterior rearview mirror will not automatically unfold the next time you unlock the vehicle. You need to enter the car and press the button on the door to manually unfold the exterior rearview mirror.

How Long is the Warranty for a Urea Pump?

Generally, the warranty period for a water pump is about one year. However, the warranty period for a pump is specifically stipulated in the contract by the manufacturer based on their product performance and bilateral negotiations. Principle of Automotive Urea: The main harmful substances in exhaust are nitrogen oxides and particulates. Technical measures can reduce particulate emissions within the engine, leaving mainly nitrogen oxides in the exhaust. Urea is injected into the exhaust after-treatment device, where it decomposes into ammonia at high temperatures. Under the action of a catalyst, the ammonia reacts with nitrogen oxides to produce harmless nitrogen and water. This device is called the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) after-treatment system. Urea Consumption: Vehicles have a dedicated urea tank, and urea is consumed as long as the vehicle is running, so it needs to be replenished in time. Typically, about 4 liters of urea are consumed per 100 liters of diesel. The exact amount depends on factors such as engine displacement, model, manufacturer, etc. Different road conditions and load weights will also affect urea consumption.

Can You Use the Handbrake When the Car's Brakes Fail?

When the brakes fail, you can pull the handbrake, immediately shift to a low gear (first gear), quickly release the clutch, and repeatedly pull and release the handbrake. When the speed drops to 30km/h, shift to neutral and firmly pull the handbrake to force the car to stop. Avoid pulling too tightly during repeated operations to prevent breakage. Safety: Developing the habit of applying the handbrake first when parking can enhance safety. The principle of the handbrake stabilizing the vehicle is by clamping the rear brake discs, preventing the rear wheels from rotating and stopping the car from moving due to external forces. Stabilization: After pulling the handbrake, the car is secured. Then shifting to neutral ensures the car won't move or stall when the engine starts. Scenario: On an incline, if you shift to neutral without first applying the handbrake and forget to press the brake pedal, the car may roll backward.

Will a Rear Tire Blowout Cause Loss of Control?

The main cause of a tire blowout is abnormal tire pressure. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire pressure is a critical factor affecting tire lifespan. It should neither be too high nor too low; inflate according to the pressure indicated on the vehicle. Check for wear: Some vehicles may experience uneven tire wear, so it's important to frequently inspect the inner side of the tires for abnormal wear patterns. Remove foreign objects promptly: Debris in the tire treads can pose potential hazards, as it may be ejected while driving. Try to keep the tires clean. Schedule regular wheel alignment: Wheel alignment ensures that all four tires bear the load evenly, preventing excessive wear.

What are the causes of multi-speed motor with brake failure?

Servo motors generally have a braking function, which refers to quickly braking the motor through the driver based on external commands from the servo system. The brake, usually referring to the electromagnetic mechanical holding brake device at the rear end of the servo motor, is generally installed at the rear end of the motor. During operation, it brakes the motor and locks the motor spindle by acting on the brake pads on the motor's main shaft. Brake disc rust: Apart from deliberately watering the brake disc, sometimes getting caught in the rain is unavoidable. First, if the rust is slight, the brake disc can naturally remove these rust marks during normal braking. Stepping on the brake a few more times usually eliminates the rust. Severe rust treatment methods: However, if the brake disc is severely rusted, the overall surface of the brake disc becomes uneven, affecting the overall braking performance. In this case, the vehicle needs to be sent to a specialized 4S shop or repair shop to have the brake disc completely removed for rust cleaning.
