Rotate the crankshaft pulley bolt to turn the crankshaft and align it with the chain's marking. Align the marking point with the chain's marking point. Similarly, align the marking point with the chain and install the chain tensioner arm to the chain side.

What brand is FARROAD tires?

FARROAD is a brand under Shandong Fengyuan Tire Manufacturing Co., Ltd., known as Yuanlu (Farroad) tires. As a relatively new brand, FARROAD primarily focuses on OEM exports. The main features of FARROAD tires are quietness and comfort. However, the brand offers multiple series, including performance/sports series, wear-resistant series, and comfort series. Yuanlu tires are exported to over 100 countries and regions in Europe and the Americas, with full domestic sales network coverage. They serve as an OEM supplier for more than ten automakers and new energy vehicle manufacturers, including Brilliance, Zotye, and BAIC. Additionally, the "Yuanlu" brand has been recognized by Shandong Province as a key international self-owned brand for cultivation, a dual-excellent brand for quality and reputation in the Chinese market, and a leading brand in the national industry for quality. It has also been listed among China's top ten snow tire brands. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance, along with excellent wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Tires directly contact the road surface and work in conjunction with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also maintain strong adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability while bearing the vehicle's weight. Methods for maintaining Yuanlu tires: Enhance awareness of tire safety and inspect tires regularly. Periodically correct wheel balance, as unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations at high speeds, leading to uneven tire wear. Rotate tires regularly. To ensure even wear across all tires on the same vehicle, perform tire rotation every 5,000 kilometers. For daily use of Yuanlu tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. As tires wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, the tire will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Avoid splashing water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road.

Is there a difference between an evaporator and a condenser?

There are differences between an evaporator and a condenser, which are: 1. Different thickness: the evaporator is thicker; the condenser is thinner. 2. Different positions: the evaporator is in the insulation layer and has two water inlet and outlet pipes; the condenser is on the lower side of the refrigeration unit, and the temperature is relatively high when touched by hand. The principle of the evaporator is to heat the solution by evaporation, causing part of the solvent to vaporize and be removed, thereby increasing the concentration of the solution, that is, the process of concentrating the solution. The principle of the condenser is that the gas passes through a long tube, allowing the heat to dissipate into the surrounding air. Metals such as copper have strong thermal conductivity and are often used to transport steam.

What are the damages to a car when the thermostat is broken?

Damages to a car when the thermostat is broken: 1. The engine cannot operate at the optimal temperature, increasing engine wear and shortening its lifespan; 2. The engine oil cannot reach the optimal viscosity, increasing engine operation resistance and causing higher fuel consumption; 3. The engine cannot operate at the normal temperature. The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, changing the water circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. When the coolant temperature is below the specified value, the refined paraffin in the thermostat's temperature-sensitive body remains solid, and the thermostat valve closes the channel between the engine and the radiator under the action of the spring. The coolant returns to the engine via the water pump, performing a small circulation within the engine.

Where is the water temperature gauge on the new Jetta?

The water temperature gauge on the new Jetta is located in the central electronic display of the instrument panel. When the car's water temperature is too high, the water temperature warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate to alert the driver. The water temperature indicator is used to monitor the temperature of the coolant in the engine. If the water temperature light stays on, it usually indicates a fault in the engine's cooling system. The new Jetta is a car model launched by FAW-Volkswagen Jetta, with body dimensions of 4487mm in length, 1706mm in width, 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. In terms of appearance, the new Jetta features contemporary black-lined headlights, exquisite chrome grille, and front/rear bumper designs that integrate seamlessly with Jetta's clean and robust body shape, achieving a perfect combination of the front end, fenders, and side profile.
