Methods to distinguish between internal and external air circulation in a car are: 1. Based on the symbols: The symbol for internal circulation is an arrow inside the car; the symbol for external circulation is an arrow entering the car from outside. 2. Based on the air circulation method: Internal circulation draws air from inside the car; external circulation draws air from outside the car, which is then cooled or heated by the air conditioning system before being blown out through the air vents. Internal circulation mode closes the airflow passage between the inside and outside of the car, forming an internal airflow circulation that effectively prevents external dust and harmful gases from entering the car and maintains the internal temperature. External circulation mode uses a fan to draw outside air into the car, and even if the fan is not turned on, airflow will still be drawn into the car while driving, replenishing fresh air inside the car.

What happens if there is too much engine oil?

Excessive engine oil can negatively impact the engine. In severe cases, it may damage the three-way catalytic converter, cause engine oil leaks, reduce engine power, create unnecessary resistance to crankshaft rotation, and consequently affect power output while increasing fuel consumption. When there is too much oil in the engine, the movement of the crankshaft and connecting rod ends will violently agitate the oil during operation. This not only increases the rotational resistance of the crankshaft and internal power loss but also leads to more oil splashing onto the cylinder walls, easily resulting in oil burning and discharge. When adding oil, there is a marked scale—generally, keeping the oil level between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick is sufficient.

Does the Ford Mondeo's water pump removal and installation require disassembling the timing belt?

The Ford Mondeo's water pump removal and installation requires disassembling the timing belt. Automotive engines widely use centrifugal water pumps, whose basic structure consists of components such as the pump housing, connecting plate or pulley, pump shaft and bearings or integrated shaft bearings, pump impeller, and sealing device, making it a major component of the vehicle. The Mondeo is a mid-size sedan featuring an advanced powertrain system, along with FordPass Connect, SYNC3 in-car connectivity system, and intelligent driver-assistance technologies, representing the future direction of smart connected vehicles. In terms of body dimensions, the Mondeo measures 4873mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1470mm in height.

When is the Right Time to Replace Antifreeze?

Antifreeze should generally be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block during cold winter parking. Its full name is antifreeze coolant. Many people think antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, it is required year-round. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year. Corrosion prevention function: The engine and its cooling system are made of metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. Over time, these metals can corrode and rust when exposed to water under high temperatures. Antifreeze not only avoids causing corrosion to the engine cooling system but also provides anti-corrosion and rust removal functions.

Should Car Windshield Washer Fluid Be Diluted with Water?

Car windshield washer fluid should not be directly diluted with water; it requires the addition of dedicated washer fluid. Windshield washer fluid is composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants, providing functions such as cleaning, antifreeze, antifog, corrosion prevention, antistatic properties, and lubrication. The primary use of washer fluid is to clean the front windshield, ensuring clear visibility for the driver under all conditions and thus enhancing driving safety. Windshield washer fluid is made from deionized water combined with various environmentally friendly additives. Some higher-quality premium washer fluids also offer features like rapid snow and ice melting, anti-glare, and antifog properties, significantly improving driving safety. Using plain water cannot meet these requirements.

What is the reason for the valves being quiet when cold but noisy when hot?

The reason for the valves being quiet when cold but noisy when hot is: If the valves are noisy when the engine is hot, this indicates that there is clearance in the valves. It is necessary to check whether the engine oil is insufficient. If the engine oil level is normal, then the valves need to be replaced. During cold starts, due to the high viscosity and poor fluidity of the engine oil, there may be operational noise in the short term, and slight sounds may occur when the moving parts come into contact. This situation is normal and there is no need to worry. A cold start refers to starting the engine when the car has been parked for a long time and the car's temperature is the same as the ambient temperature. Many car owners hear a clicking abnormal noise from the engine compartment during cold starts. This noise sounds very abnormal, unlike the performance of a car running normally.
