The camshaft gear also has three marks: two groove marks aligned with the cylinder head plane, and the dot on the gear aligned with the black chain link on the chain. The TDC mark on the crankshaft gear should align with the mark on the oil pump. The chain has differently colored chain links. First, rotate the crankshaft to the top dead center of the first cylinder piston. You will see alignment marks on the timing gears.

What Causes the Motorcycle Fuel Gauge to Not Display?

In most cases, the issue is caused by the fuel level sensor inside the fuel tank getting stuck. After being soaked in gasoline for a period of time, some sensors may expand, clamping the float and preventing it from moving up and down. As a result, the correct fuel level cannot be displayed. In such cases, simply removing the float and loosening it slightly should resolve the problem. If the fuel level sensor is damaged, it usually needs to be replaced as it cannot be repaired. In some instances, the issue may be due to loose wiring screws on the fuel gauge in the dashboard or a broken connection between the fuel float and the gauge. Tightening the screws or reconnecting the wiring can fix this. The fuel gauge itself is generally not prone to damage, but if it fails, the entire instrument cluster usually needs to be replaced.

What to Do When the Car's Exhaust Fault Light Comes On?

Solutions for when the car's exhaust fault light comes on: Start and turn off the vehicle three times, then start the vehicle again to observe if the exhaust fault light is still on. If it remains on, promptly take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. 2. Poor fuel quality may require switching to higher-quality fuel. As one of the primary sources of air pollution, car exhaust contains a large amount of harmful substances, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and solid suspended particles. The hazards of an emission system failure include: 1. Excessive carbon buildup; 2. Reduced safety during vehicle operation and shortened engine lifespan; 3. Engine overheating, leading to sintering or detachment of the three-way catalytic converter carrier and increased exhaust resistance; 4. Exceeding emission standards for harmful substances.

What does ABS on a car mean?

ABS on a car stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which consists of an ABS pump, wheel speed sensors, and a brake switch. Its working principle is: during emergency braking, the highly sensitive wheel speed sensors installed on each wheel detect wheel lock-up, and the computer immediately controls the pressure regulator to release pressure from the wheel's brake caliper, preventing wheel lock-up. The functions of the ABS system are: 1. To prevent loss of vehicle control, increase braking distance, and improve vehicle safety; 2. To enhance the overall braking performance of the vehicle; 3. To prevent wheel lock-up during braking; 4. To ensure the driver can control the direction while braking and prevent rear axle skidding.

What is Automotive Urea?

Automotive urea is a colorless, transparent liquid stored in the urea tank. When sensors detect nitrogen oxides in the exhaust pipe, it automatically sprays atomized automotive urea, which mixes with the nitrogen oxides and undergoes a redox reaction in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, ultimately producing non-polluting nitrogen and water that are expelled. Automotive urea is an essential additive for the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) solution. The SCR system includes a urea tank (containing diesel exhaust fluid) and an SCR catalytic reaction tank. The primary harmful substances in diesel vehicle exhaust are nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. While particulate emissions can be reduced through technical means within the engine, nitrogen oxides remain the main component of the exhaust. By injecting urea into the exhaust after-treatment device, the urea 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 after-treatment system.

What are the hidden functions of the Sylphy Classic?

The hidden functions of the Sylphy Classic include one-touch window lift and automatic unlocking when the engine is turned off. One-touch window lift: When the key is in the ON position, during startup, or while driving, pull up the switch for the left front window until the glass reaches the top and hold for 5 seconds to activate one-touch window lift. For one-touch window down, perform the opposite action—hold down the left front window switch until the glass reaches the bottom and hold for 5 seconds. Taking the Sylphy 2021 Classic 1.6XL Manual Luxury Edition as an example, it is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan, equipped with a 1.6L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The body type is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, with a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, featuring front-wheel drive.
