If a car's engine exhibits symptoms such as shaking after a cold start, burning engine oil, or triggering the engine fault light due to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, it can be determined that the car's oil-gas separator is faulty. It is advisable to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection to avoid compromising driving safety. Relevant information about the oil-gas separator is as follows: 1. Introduction: An oil-gas separator is a device that separates crude oil produced from oil wells and associated natural gas. The oil-gas separator is located between the submersible centrifugal pump and the protector, separating free gas from the well fluid. The liquid is sent to the submersible centrifugal pump, while the gas is released into the annular space between the tubing and casing. 2. Function: The oil-gas separator is one of the crucial components of the entire submersible electric pump system. Its primary role is to serve as the inlet for oil and gas entering the multi-stage centrifugal pump. Additionally, before the gas-mixed liquid enters the multi-stage centrifugal pump, the separator removes free gas from the well fluid, thereby reducing the impact of gas on the operational characteristics of the submersible electric pump. This prevents cavitation and gas locking in the centrifugal pump, ensuring the multi-stage centrifugal pump operates normally.

What Are the Reasons for a Heavy Car Steering Wheel?

There are several reasons for a heavy car steering wheel: 1. Insufficient power steering fluid. Power steering fluid is a medium oil used in the car's power steering pump, which helps transmit steering force and provides cushioning. The fluid needs to be replaced regularly, and any leaks should be checked. When the power steering fluid is insufficient, the steering wheel may feel heavy or stiff. 2. Low tire pressure. Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the road surface, leading to greater friction and making steering more difficult, resulting in a heavy steering wheel, which is not conducive to driving safety. 3. Toe-in issues. Toe-in can also affect the car's steering. Toe-in helps the steering wheels automatically return to the correct position, ensuring stable straight-line driving. Problems in this area can also cause the steering wheel to feel heavy. 4. Steering gear or power steering pump failure. The steering gear and power steering pump are crucial components affecting the car's steering. Any malfunction in these parts can make steering difficult. Issues such as universal joints, chassis suspension stabilizer bars, or plain bearings should not be overlooked. 5. Overly tight bearing fit. If the rolling bearings or sliding bearings in the steering system are fitted too tightly, it can lead to poor lubrication and cause sticking or jamming.

Can You Bring a Mobile Phone for the Subject 2 Driving Test?

You can bring a mobile phone for the Subject 2 driving test, but it is advisable to set it to silent mode or turn it off. Otherwise, your test results may be canceled. Generally, before the test, there are special inspectors who will check, and candidates are not allowed to bring mobile phones into the examination area. Below is some relevant information about Subject 2: Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is referred to as the field driving skills test. Small vehicle Subject 2 test items: Include five mandatory tests—reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves) (some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed card collection). Large vehicle test items: Include pile test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing a width-limited gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on undulating roads, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency situation handling.

What brand is the audio system in the BMW 320li?

The audio system used in the BMW 320li is from Harman Kardon. Harman Kardon is a division of Harman International Industries, specializing in the production of home audio and car audio systems. The technical indicators of car audio systems include: 1. Output Power: Currently, the power indicated by most head units is primarily music power, ranging between 40W and 60W, and the power should not be too large. 2. Frequency Response: The frequency range audible to the human ear is between 20Hz and 20KHz, so this indicator should at least cover this range, and the wider, the better. 3. Signal-to-Noise Ratio: This refers to the ratio of music signal to noise. Generally, high-end car audio systems have a ratio of 90DB or above, and the higher this value, the better. 4. Harmonic Distortion: This indicator reflects the fidelity of sound reproduction. The smaller the value, the higher the fidelity, and the better the audio effect.

How Many Spark Plugs Does a Car Generally Have?

In general, a car will have as many spark plugs as it has cylinders, but there are exceptions. Most four-cylinder cars have four spark plugs, and six-cylinder cars have six spark plugs. If a spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as electrical leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The most significant problem is difficulty in starting, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Severe spark plug erosion, including scarring at the top, damage, or melted and eroded electrodes, indicates that the spark plug is damaged and should be replaced. Spark Plug Location: Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. Early spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition wires, but over the past decade, most car engines have switched to direct connection between the ignition coil and the spark plug. Spark Plug Replacement Interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it's recommended to follow the owner's manual. Typically, platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Mistra?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2017 Mistra 1.8L Manual Comfort GL (China V) is 62 liters. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension features a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Besturn B70 2.0T Automatic Smart Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and the 2021 Borui 1.8T Navigation Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the rated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer measures from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling volume may exceed the rated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full). When the needle is close to 'E,' it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
