Solutions for mice entering the car engine compartment are as follows: 1. Mouse Blood Repellent Method: Catch a mouse, take its blood and apply it to a soft wooden stick (soft wood absorbs water), then tie the stick inside the engine compartment. When the car is in use, the heat from the engine will evaporate the blood scent from the stick. Even if mice enter, their stay will be very short. 2. Place Anti-Rodent Sachets or Camphor Balls: Utilizing the fact that rodents have a highly developed sense of smell and taste, place anti-rodent agents or camphor balls to effectively repel mice. This method does not require electricity, is green and non-toxic, heat-resistant, and has a good safety effect. 3. Use Electronic Technology Products: Such as battery-powered ultrasonic rodent repellents. The downside is that over time, mice may adapt to the sound, rendering it ineffective.

What are the reasons for high fuel consumption when driving a car?

Car driving high fuel consumption reasons are: 1. Piston and piston ring damage, resulting in oil burning phenomenon, fuel cannot fully burn and perform work; 2. Novice drivers on the road, pressing the accelerator without lifting, not paying attention to shifting gears, which invisibly increases the fuel consumption index; 3. Machine aging, computer fuel control system failure; 4. Fuel tank and fuel pipeline damage, with oil leakage phenomenon; 5. Oxygen sensor damage or three-way catalytic converter blockage, but not completely blocked. Solutions: 1. Check whether the tire pressure meets the standard, if the tire is underinflated, fuel consumption will also increase; 2. Check the degree of tire wear, if the tire is severely worn, it will often slip, increasing fuel consumption; 3. Check whether the wheel rotation is normal, if not, it will affect the speed and increase fuel consumption.

Can You Still Drive with a Bulging Tire?

Tires with bulges should not be driven on, as they are prone to blowouts. The functions of a tire are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To mitigate and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. To adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly removing stones stuck in the tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance.

What are the reasons for abnormal noises when the air conditioning is turned on?

Abnormal noises occur due to air conditioning malfunctions. The faults causing abnormal noises in the air conditioning system are as follows: Reasons for abnormal noises in the indoor unit of the air conditioner: High pressure in the air conditioning system's high-pressure pipe. The condenser is dirty, leading to poor heat dissipation. The expansion valve is blocked, causing high pressure in the pipeline. Key points for troubleshooting air conditioning faults: Observe the working conditions of both the indoor and outdoor units, and check various data of the air conditioner. Diagnosis of air conditioning faults: Refrigeration system: Inspect the refrigeration system pipelines for cracks, damage, frost, or condensation. Check for collisions or friction between pipelines and the casing, especially at welded joints and connection points of refrigerant pipelines. Any leakage will show oil stains. You can also use a clean soft cloth or paper to wipe the welded and connected areas to check for oil stains and determine if there is a leak. Electrical system: Check if the fuses in the electrical system are blown, if the insulation of electrical wires is intact, if the circuit board is cracked, or if connections are loose. Pay special attention to electrical connections to ensure good contact, as screws and connectors can easily loosen and cause poor contact. Ventilation system: Inspect if the air filter, heat exchanger coils, and fins are excessively dusty. Ensure the air intake and outlet are unobstructed. Check if the fan and blades are operating normally and if the airflow is adequate.
