Check if high-viscosity engine oil is being used; it's best to use oil with a viscosity rating below 30. Clean the fuel injectors using a non-disassembly method. Inspect the lubrication of the walking mechanism and check if there is any additional resistance when the wheels rotate freely. Have a skilled technician inspect the three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor, and clean the three-way catalytic converter while at it. Check if the tire pressure has been consistently low. Inspect the tires for any damage. Inspect the spark plugs for contamination and check their ignition performance; clean or replace them if necessary. Consider changing the transmission fluid using a circulation method.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn at an intersection?

According to regulations, if there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns at an intersection, motor vehicles are allowed to make a U-turn. However, the driver must first proceed straight past the crosswalk before making the U-turn and must yield to pedestrians. Making a U-turn directly over the crosswalk will result in a fine of 150 yuan. Situations where making a U-turn at an intersection is not illegal include: 1. Presence of a U-turn sign: Intersections with U-turn signs definitely allow U-turns. However, the driver must make the U-turn according to actual conditions without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. 2. Presence of a U-turn signal: Many roads have dedicated left-turn or U-turn lanes before intersections. The driver should activate the left turn signal in advance and make the U-turn without affecting other normally moving vehicles.

What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the older ix35?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of the older ix35 are: Avoid sudden acceleration while driving, as it can cause incomplete combustion in the engine, leading to unutilized fuel being expelled. During sudden deceleration, the fuel in the engine's combustion chamber decreases while the air increases, generating a large amount of hydrocarbons, which also results in increased fuel consumption. Below are some related tips: 1. Check tire pressure: Ensure the tire pressure is adequate, inspect the degree of tire wear, and determine if new tires are needed to enhance friction and reduce fuel consumption. 2. Replace spark plugs: Check if the spark plugs need replacement, as damaged spark plugs can reduce ignition energy, slowing down the vehicle's acceleration.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Levin and Corolla?

The minimum ground clearances of the Levin and Corolla are 105mm and 145mm respectively, with a difference of 40mm between the two models. Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid object at the bottom of the vehicle, which is related to the vehicle's load. The heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Both the Levin and Corolla are compact cars launched by GAC Toyota. The Levin measures 4645mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Corolla measures 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, also with a wheelbase of 2700mm.

What is the function of Land Rover DSC?

DSC stands for Dynamic Stability Control, which is similar to what is commonly referred to as ESP. DSC is an extension of the traction control system or acceleration skid control, ensuring that the vehicle maintains optimal traction during turns to guarantee driving stability. Below is relevant information about automotive DSC: 1. Function: It activates when the car is close to losing control, intervening in the driver's operation in various ways. Using mechanical and electronic devices, it maintains the vehicle's handling state, helping the driver regain control of the car and avoid potential accidents. 2. Working Principle: It operates with more advanced detection and control equipment to determine whether the wheels are at risk of skidding during turns.

Can Car Glass Scratches Be Repaired by Polishing?

Minor scratches can be polished. Polishing is only effective for shallow scratches. For large-area or deep damage, manual grinding usually cannot achieve precise results, and in such cases, it is recommended to replace the glass. Polishing techniques are categorized as follows: 1. Mechanical Polishing: This method involves removing the raised portions of the scratched surface through cutting and plastic deformation to achieve a smooth finish. 2. Chemical Polishing: Chemical polishing allows the microscopic raised areas of the material to dissolve preferentially in a chemical medium, resulting in a smooth surface. 3. Electrolytic Polishing: The basic principle of electrolytic polishing is similar to chemical polishing, where selective dissolution of microscopic raised areas on the material's surface creates smoothness. Compared to chemical polishing, it eliminates the effects of cathode reactions and yields better results.

How to Clean the Scale Inside the Engine Radiator?

Methods for cleaning the scale inside the engine radiator: 1. Remove the car radiator and manually remove the scale using hammers, scrapers, or other tools. This method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and may not completely remove the scale, potentially causing secondary damage to the radiator. 2. Using ordinary scale cleaners requires removing the radiator, but it may not clean thoroughly, has a strong odor, and is highly corrosive, which can lead to radiator aging and shorten its lifespan. 3. Using a professional car radiator descaler allows cleaning without disassembly. It can also be used while the engine is running. Simply pour the specialized descaler into the car's water circulation system, let it soak, idle, or drive for 20 to 30 minutes, then drain the descaler from the radiator and system, and rinse repeatedly with water until clean.
