Methods to address loud diesel engine noise are as follows: If the car has difficulty starting and the engine noise is loud, you can clean the fuel system and check whether the idle speed motor has carbon deposits that need cleaning. For ignition system issues, inspect the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or weak spark plug firing can also cause such problems. Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the fuel pads and spark plugs, but still notice body shaking at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause body shaking. Check the fuel pressure and replace components if necessary.

I've been driving a diesel car for several years, and the noise issue is really annoying. During cold starts, it sounds like a tractor buzzing loudly. It's mostly due to poor fuel quality—low-grade fuel burns with loud crackling noises; the engine mounts are loose, transmitting vibrations to the body; the belt is old and loose, emitting a sharp screech. The solutions aren't difficult: switch to a reliable gas station for better fuel, have a mechanic tighten or replace the belt, and check if the mount screws are secure. Don’t slack on regular maintenance—frequent oil and filter changes can reduce friction noise. A leaking exhaust system can also amplify the sound, so check if the exhaust pipe is rusted or cracked. Adding soundproofing foam is a simple and effective fix. The upside of diesel cars is their strong power and fuel efficiency—once you get used to it, just consider it a rugged style.

What to Do When You Can't See the Front of Your Car While Driving?

First, familiarize yourself with your vehicle by adjusting the seat and mirrors, especially the right-side mirror. Ensure the seat is comfortable and that you can operate the brake and accelerator without straining, without obstructing your view. Remember, the driver's position is not at the exact center of the vehicle. Regularly check the right side to observe the distance from the ground markings, helping you gauge your car's position.

First, the qualifications and legal business credentials of the operator are preliminarily reviewed, with preference given to those with relevant experience. The operator must have a good commercial reputation. The can be downloaded from the official website of the automobile brand manufacturer. The manufacturer will conduct an initial screening based on the application materials and carry out on-site inspections. The operator must strictly adhere to the "Four-in-One" franchise model and cannot operate beyond the authorized scope. The manufacturer authorizes the franchise store for sales and maintenance.

What are the symptoms of a faulty car engine ignition coil?

Ignition coil failure symptoms: Generally, the number of ignition coils corresponds to the number of cylinders in the engine. If an ignition coil is severely damaged, causing insufficient spark from the spark plug to ignite the air-fuel mixture or complete absence of spark, the engine will experience a misfire. The specific symptom is engine shaking: Due to the imbalance in power generation caused by the misfire, the engine will exhibit severe vibrations during operation. If there are too many misfiring cylinders or two adjacent power-generating cylinders misfire simultaneously, the engine is highly likely to fail to start normally.

How to Know the Production Date of a Tire?

The production date of a car tire is generally represented by a four-digit number, where the first two digits indicate the production week and the last two digits represent the production year. Here is the relevant information: 1. The production date of a car tire is part of a series of alphanumeric characters starting with DOT, which stands for U.S. Department of Transportation certification. 2. The following numbers and letters represent the tire's origin information and factory code. 3. The last four digits indicate the production date. 4. Generally, the maximum speed on highways is controlled at 120 km/h, but as tires are continuously used, their load-bearing capacity weakens, and changes in road temperature can also reduce the maximum speed rating. Therefore, manufacturers equip tires with a speed rating several levels higher than the 120 km/h limit to ensure vehicle safety.

What is the ground clearance of the Equinox?

The minimum ground clearance of the Equinox when unloaded is 199 mm, and when fully loaded, it is 170 mm. More details about the Equinox's ground clearance are as follows: 1. Minimum ground clearance: Refers to the distance from the lowest point of the chassis to the ground when the vehicle is fully loaded. The Equinox has an approach angle of 24 degrees and a departure angle of 19.2 degrees. 2. Ground clearance reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven surfaces without collision: The greater the ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven surfaces; the smaller the ground clearance, the weaker this ability. 3. The ground clearance of the new Equinox has become smaller: The new Equinox features a front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension combination, with an approach angle of 19°, a departure angle of 23°, and a minimum ground clearance of 158 mm.

What is the ground clearance of the Honda CRV?

Honda CRV's minimum ground clearance when fully loaded is 135mm, and the ground clearance when unloaded is 185mm. Here is some relevant information: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. It indicates the car's ability to overcome obstacles (such as stones, etc.). The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. 2. The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
