Diesel engine valve adjustment method is: 1. Locate the installation position of the diesel engine; 2. Identify the valves and make adjustments; 3. Rotate the valves left and right to find the markings on them, then adjust to the appropriate position. The function of valves is specifically responsible for introducing air into the engine and expelling exhaust gases after combustion. Diesel engines are divided into: 1. Spark-ignition engines: Gasoline engines inject gasoline into the intake pipe to mix with air, forming a combustible mixture that enters the cylinder and is ignited by spark plugs to expand and perform work; 2. Compression-ignition engines: Diesel engines inject diesel directly into the engine cylinder through the fuel injection pump and injector, where it mixes uniformly with compressed air in the cylinder and self-ignites under high temperature and pressure to push the piston and perform work.

How to Accurately Position the Vehicle on the Slope in Subject 2?

There are two methods to accurately position the vehicle on the slope in Subject 2. Here are the relevant details about slope positioning in Subject 2: 1. The first method: If the car is a new Santana, new Jetta, or new Skoda, there is a 'w' logo at the lower right corner of the front windshield. When sitting in the driver's seat, stop the car when the 'w' logo aligns with the pole at the slope starting point. This is the 100-point positioning spot for slope parking. (2) If the car model is not one of the three mentioned above (new Santana, new Jetta, or new Skoda), use the lower edge of the car's left rearview mirror as a reference. Stop the car when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror is parallel to the upper edge of the second yellow line on the ground. This is also the 100-point positioning spot for slope parking.

What Are the Common Tire Size Specifications?

Tire size specifications commonly seen are 185/65R14, 185/65R15, and 205/55R16. Example of tire size specification (taking 195/55R15 as an example): 195 refers to the section width, which is the area of the tire that can contact the ground, measured in millimeters; 55 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire's section height to its section width. R is a construction mark, where R stands for radial tire, and bias-ply tires are denoted by the letter "B". Passenger car tires are generally radial tires. 15 is the inner diameter of the tire, also known as the diameter of the wheel rim, usually measured in inches. Tires also have speed rating letters, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include Q (160 km/h), R (170 km/h), S (180 km/h), H (210 km/h), V (240 km/h), and W (270 km/h). Precautions for replacing car tires: When selecting tires, the specifications should match the previous tires and must be the same as the other tire on the same axle, including speed rating, load index, tread pattern, brand, size, etc., to ensure safe driving. The valve stem should also be replaced because, after changing the tire, the aging cycle of the new tire and the valve stem may differ. The valve stem might fail during the new tire's lifespan, which is not easily noticeable. Therefore, it is best to replace the valve stem when changing the tire. Installation direction and inflation: If using the original equipment tire, follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. For non-original tires, the side with the production date usually faces outward. If it is a directional tire, align the arrow on the wheel with the direction of the car's forward movement. Inflate the tire to the maximum allowed pressure and then reduce it to the manufacturer's recommended standard pressure.

Is a car considered old after 10 years of use?

A car that has been driven for 10 years is considered an old vehicle. When a car reaches 6-8 years of age, it typically develops minor issues such as oil leaks, unusual noises, vibrations, etc., let alone a 10-year-old car. After ten years of driving, the car has already exceeded its warranty period and is likely to have accumulated numerous problems. Once issues arise, the repair costs tend to be relatively high. Below are some relevant points: Core components' maturity: The engine, transmission, and chassis are the core components of a car, and these three major parts are closely related to the vehicle's lifespan. If the performance of these three major components remains stable, the car's lifespan is generally not short. Emissions: Environmental policies are becoming increasingly stringent regarding vehicle emissions. Only if a car's emissions comply with evolving policies can it continue to be driven for a longer period.

What are the signs that indicate the need to replace the generator belt?

Generator belt needs to be replaced when the following signs appear: Abnormal noise from the generator belt: This situation is caused by the engine belt being too loose or the installation position being uncertain. It is best to check promptly if a slipping or grinding sound is heard. Cracks, fissures, and peeling of the generator belt: This condition may result from incorrect installation leading to uneven force distribution, corrosion, or simply prolonged use causing the engine belt to age and harden. Excessive usage time: Generally, the service life of an engine belt is 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Therefore, it is necessary to replace it when the specified usage period is reached. Never wait until it breaks to replace it, as this can easily lead to dangerous situations.

What lights should be turned on when temporarily parking a vehicle in snowy conditions?

When temporarily parking a vehicle in snowy conditions, the hazard warning flashers, clearance lamps, and rear position lamps should be turned on. Below are the usage scenarios for high and low beam headlights: Usage of low beam: Low beams must be turned on when driving in dark areas without streetlights, during dusk when light is dim or at dawn when light first appears; if encountering heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain where visibility is obstructed, low beams must be turned on even during the day; in some areas where lighting is insufficient despite the presence of lighting equipment, low beams should also be used. Usage of high beam: High beams should only be used when there are no other lighting devices on the road and no oncoming vehicles. Otherwise, they can severely interfere with the vision of other drivers and even cause traffic accidents. Be careful not to mistakenly use high beams instead of low beams.
