Aligning the timing of the Chery Flagcloud 2 involves the following steps: 1. Rotate the crankshaft to align the mark on the transmission with the scale line on the flywheel. 2. Rotate the camshaft to align the mark on the camshaft timing gear with the base of the valve chamber. 3. Locate the drive end of the oil pump shaft and align the raised rectangular side with the direction of the crankshaft. 4. Insert the distributor assembly into the mounting hole and secure it. 5. Align the distributor rotor with the mark on the housing, then cover the distributor cap and connect the spark plug wires and other internal components. 6. Install the timing belt and start the engine for inspection. Re-adjust if any discrepancies are found.

I remember the experience of timing the Chery Flagcloud 2 last time. First, remove the engine upper cover and timing cover, locate the dot mark on the crankshaft pulley, and align it with the triangular mark on the oil pump housing. Then, rotate the camshaft gear to align the round hole on it with the raised mark on the bearing cap. Make sure both are aligned before putting on the belt. Note that the tensioner bolt should be loosened before installing the belt, and then tightened to the standard torque after installation. Throughout the process, ensure the belt doesn't skip teeth, and remember to use a special tool to secure the camshaft gear to prevent displacement. After timing, manually turn the crankshaft two revolutions and check if the marks reset. Only start the engine after confirming everything is correct, otherwise the valves could be damaged. It's best to operate when the engine is cold, and have a torque wrench and lighting ready.

I've seen quite a few cases of misaligned timing on Chery Flagcloud 2 vehicles at repair shops, and the key steps are actually quite particular. First, ensure the first cylinder piston is at the compression top dead center position, then locate the corresponding triangular mark on the crankshaft gear and the dot mark on the camshaft gear. When installing the belt, start from the crankshaft gear and proceed counterclockwise, leaving the tensioner pulley for last. Tensioner adjustment is crucial - press the middle section of the belt with your thumb, and 5-6mm deflection is optimal. After completion, remember to use a wrench to rotate the crankshaft 720 degrees to recheck the marks. Once an apprentice forgot this step and ended up bending valves. I recommend checking the water pump and idler pulley condition while you're at it. The belt should be replaced every five years or 80,000 kilometers, and OEM parts are more reliable.

How many kilometers does a new car need to drive before its first maintenance?

The first maintenance of a car is generally within 5,000 kilometers or 3 months, but the time and mileage for the first maintenance may vary depending on the brand, model, and usage condition of the car. The specific time and mileage for the first maintenance of a particular model should be based on the vehicle's maintenance manual. The items required for the first maintenance of a car: Oil change: The most important task during the first maintenance is changing the engine oil. During the break-in period, the components of the car are not fully worn in, and debris can easily mix into the oil, leading to more impurities in the oil, which reduces its lubricating effectiveness. Therefore, the oil must be changed during the first maintenance to provide better lubrication for the engine, extend its lifespan, and reduce fuel consumption. Replace the three filters: The three filters in a car include the oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter. These filters provide a better working environment for the engine by preventing impurities from entering it and affecting normal operation. Over time, these filters may become ineffective and need to be replaced promptly. Check the coolant level: The coolant not only cools the engine but also prevents freezing in winter. During the first maintenance, the coolant level is checked to ensure it is within the specified range (usually between min and max) to avoid performance issues due to insufficient coolant. Items needed for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; and the car purchase invoice. Take these to the designated maintenance facility for the first maintenance. The first maintenance refers to the first service after the car has been driven, and it is important to make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance should be done promptly, neither earlier nor later. Completing the first maintenance marks the end of the break-in period, allowing the car to be driven under standard load and normal speed as required. The timing for the first maintenance is calculated from the date of purchase, with two indicators: mileage and time. Whichever comes first will be the standard. Required time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important tasks during the first maintenance are changing the oil and oil filter. When changing the oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The oil selection should refer to the "Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual," as different models may require different oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars by washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. However, it is important to note that the interior should not be washed directly with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or take them out to brush and wash with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. The rubber mats under the driver's floor have many holes, and water entering them may not dry but instead flow into the transmission system, causing corrosion. It is better to use a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: If the antifreeze level is low, it is recommended to drain the existing antifreeze and refill it with the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze have different chemical properties, and mixing them may cause corrosion. To avoid unnecessary trouble, do not mix different brands of antifreeze. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: Some people apply lubricant to bolts and nuts to prevent rust, but this can pose a safety risk. When the car is driven at high speed, the bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving hazards. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a conventional car. The fuel injection control system can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.

What Causes Sudden Glass Breakage?

Sudden breakage of car glass can be caused by external force damage, defects in glass manufacturing leading to cracking, or installation factors. Below are the specific reasons: External force damage: Such as bumps during handling or intentional strikes. Defects in glass manufacturing leading to cracking: For example, factors like bubbles, cracks, or impurities present during glass production. Installation factors: If the installation gap is too small or the glass directly contacts the frame, it can create pressure on the edges or corners of the glass, inducing breakage. Car glass cracks are generally repaired using specialized repair tools and repair fluid. The repair fluid is applied into the crack using the tool, solidifying to eliminate the gap and achieve repair. It's important to note that if a crack appears, it should be repaired as soon as possible. If the damage is severe, immediate replacement is necessary. This is because during driving, the windshield must withstand wind resistance and constant vibrations. Over time, small cracks can gradually extend, lengthening and expanding in area.

What is the passing score for driving test subject four?

Subject four has a full score of 100, and a score of 90 is required to pass. Subject four is the safety and civilized driving test, which mainly examines the operational requirements for safe and civilized driving, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods such as tire blowouts, etc. Here are some notes for answering questions in the subject four test: 1. Check carefully: There is ample time for the test, so don't rush when answering questions. Check before moving to the next question, and you cannot go back to modify an answer once written. 2. Read questions carefully: If new questions appear in the test, think carefully before selecting the answer. For multiple-choice questions, prevent missing options by checking each condition one by one. 3. Answer order adjustment: If you see a familiar question, don't just select the answer directly, as the order of answers may differ from the simulation, leading to mistakes.

What is the mileage and precautions for the break-in period of a new car?

New car break-in period is approximately 1,000-3,000 kilometers. During the break-in period, try to drive on roads with good conditions. Since new tires have not yet reached optimal adhesion, sudden braking during sharp turns should be avoided. The following are precautions for new cars during the break-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during break-in but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Avoid high-speed driving: For speed, it is sufficient not to exceed two-thirds of the maximum speed, and engine RPM should not exceed 3,000-3,500. Different automakers have varying requirements for engine RPM, so avoid sudden acceleration and braking. 3. Avoid long-distance driving: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can easily cause wear on mechanical parts. 4. Control speed: When driving downhill for long distances, pay attention to controlling the speed. Do not suddenly use engine resistance to decelerate. For manual transmission models, anticipate gear shifts in advance and avoid shifting at inappropriate speeds.

How to Park for Beginners?

Beginners should choose to reverse into a parking space. When there is only one parking space available, drive past the current space. Stop when your rear bumper aligns with the rear bumper of the car in front, maintaining a 1-meter distance. Then turn the steering wheel fully to the right and slowly reverse at a 45-degree angle. When your front bumper aligns in a straight line with the rear bumper of the car in front, turn the steering wheel fully in the opposite direction and continue reversing slowly to park the car properly.
