Ford Kuga timing belt alignment method is as follows: 1. Special tools are required to lock the camshaft, and then fix the crankshaft with dedicated tools. 2. The timing marks on the flywheel can be used to ensure engine mechanical timing. Of course, it also needs to coordinate with the timing marks on the camshaft drive pulley to effectively guarantee engine timing. Here are some introductions about timing: 1. Incorrect ignition timing has a significant impact on vehicles. The combustion of gasoline in the engine must be ignited by the spark from spark plugs. 2. For smooth engine starting and optimal combustion, the timing of spark plug ignition must be precise. Whether too early or too late will affect engine horsepower. This moment when sparks are generated from the spark plugs is called ignition timing.

How to Turn Off the Engine Auto Start-Stop Function

Methods to turn off the engine auto start-stop function: The owner can directly press the auto start-stop button (usually a circular arrow containing the letter A), and the dashboard will indicate that the system is turned off; if you want to use this function again, simply press the button to turn it back on. The engine auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The engine auto start-stop system enhances the traditional engine by incorporating an idle start-stop function, allowing the engine to completely shut off when the vehicle meets the conditions for idling.

What causes the engine fault warning light to illuminate?

The reason for the engine fault warning light illuminating is: When the ECU receives parameters from the oxygen sensor indicating that the exhaust emissions severely exceed national legal standards, and the internal program cannot adjust them back within standard limits, the engine control unit will then activate the excessive emission warning light (yellow pollution light) on the dashboard to alert the owner to have the engine's emission system checked at a service station. If the engine fault light is on but there are no abnormal noises in the engine compartment, no other warning prompts on the dashboard, the vehicle's power is unaffected, and gear shifting remains normal, the vehicle can continue to be driven to a repair shop for further diagnosis.

What is the difference between coolant and antifreeze?

Coolant and antifreeze are different in that antifreeze is not entirely equivalent to coolant, whereas coolant is equal to water plus antifreeze. Coolant refers to any liquid that can lower the engine's temperature, which can be either water or antifreeze. Water is a very basic form of coolant and is also limited by seasonal constraints. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties, capable of preventing the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. In fact, antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used all year round. Generally, coolant needs to be replaced every two to three years.

What to Do When the Windshield Wipers Stop Working?

Solutions for windshield wipers not working: 1. Open the fuse box, locate the wiper fuse, pull it out and replace it with a new one to resume operation; 2. Apply a layer of soap on the windshield, which can maintain clear visibility for about 30 to 40 minutes while driving; 3. If the wiper motor is faulty, it's unlikely to be fixed by yourself, so it's recommended to take the car to a repair shop. Some people believe that longer wiper blades provide better coverage and visibility, but in fact, longer blades are not necessarily better. While extending the length of the wiper blades can increase the visible range, it also adds extra burden to the wiper motor and wiper arm.
