Engine should be cleaned every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work. The effects of sludge on the engine surface are: 1. It reduces the heat dissipation capacity of the cylinder block, leading to excessively high oil temperature and a decrease in engine power; 2. It increases the flow resistance of the oil, reduces the oil flow rate, and affects the lubrication effect of the oil. The working principle of the engine is: 1. Mixing air and gasoline in a certain proportion to form a combustible mixture; 2. The intake stroke draws the mixture into the cylinder, where it is compressed, ignited, and burned to produce thermal energy; 3. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas acts on the top of the piston, pushing the piston to perform reciprocating linear motion, and the mechanical energy is output externally through the connecting rod, crankshaft, and flywheel mechanism.

Is there any notification for a failed Subject 2 booking?

Yes, under normal circumstances, whether the booking is successful or not, you will receive an SMS notification. The fastest time to receive a successful Subject 2 booking notification is 3-5 days, and candidates will receive the corresponding SMS prompt upon successful booking. There is no exact regulation on the review time for Subject 2 bookings, as it depends on the efficiency of the relevant departments and the number of candidates. Whether it's for the exam or the booking process, mastering the corresponding techniques can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Here are three tips for a successful Subject 2 booking: 1. Book as early as possible: Try to book as early as possible within the time frame that the system allows for candidates to make bookings. 2. Avoid peak booking times: Do not choose exam sessions that are displayed as crowded. 3. Prioritize earlier exam sessions: Give preference to booking exam sessions that are ranked higher in the scheduling.

Is it normal for the engine noise to increase when the car's air conditioning is turned on?

It is not normal. Here are the possible reasons why the engine noise increases when the car's air conditioning is turned on: 1. Dirty or stuck throttle valve: Turning on the air conditioning increases the engine load, requiring the throttle valve to open wider to allow more air intake. If the throttle valve has carbon deposits or is stuck, it can cause engine shaking and abnormal noises. 2. Improper tension of the compressor drive belt: If the drive belt tension is incorrect, it can cause abnormal noises in mild cases or damage the air conditioning compressor in severe cases. The principle is that if the drive belt is too loose, the electromagnetic clutch may slip; if the drive belt is too tight, the load on the electromagnetic clutch will increase.

How to Handle Speeding by 80% and How Many Points Will Be Deducted?

According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," exceeding the speed limit by 70% will result in a fine, 12 demerit points, and the revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license. Motor vehicles must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings on the road. Urban road speeding penalty standards: 1. Driving on urban roads without exceeding the speed limit by 10%: no fine, no points deducted. 2. Driving on urban roads exceeding the speed limit by 10% but less than 20%: fine and 3 demerit points. 3. Driving on urban roads exceeding the speed limit by 20% but less than 50%: fine and 3 demerit points. 4. Driving on urban roads exceeding the speed limit by 50% but less than 70%: fine, 12 demerit points, and revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license. 5. Driving on urban roads exceeding the speed limit by 70%: fine, 12 demerit points, and revocation of the motor vehicle driver's license.

What Causes a Car to Show Empty When It Actually Has Fuel?

When a car has fuel but the fuel gauge shows empty, it may be due to an issue with the fuel level sensor (float) inside the fuel tank. Below is more information about car engine oil: 1. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components—base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricating oil. 2. Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber.

How often should the Wuling Hongguang belt be replaced?

Wuling Hongguang belt should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Additional information: Advantages of timing belts: 1. Low noise: Because rubber products are soft and elastic, their connection with the camshaft and crankshaft is not rigid, so they have better noise control compared to timing chains. 2. Low manufacturing cost: This not only refers to its own cost but also does not require high structural requirements for the engine. When connecting the timing belt to the camshaft and crankshaft, no additional cooling system is needed, just a plastic cover outside. 3. Timing chains are not as good: The connection with the camshaft and crankshaft is rigid, requiring liquid lubrication and cooling, so the engine oil must flow through here, which imposes higher structural requirements on the engine and requires more costs.
