As an owner who has DIY-flashed the ECU several times, I mainly rely on purchasing OBD devices and program packages. First, park the car stably and turn off the engine, then locate the OBD port under the steering wheel and connect it to a laptop with a data cable. After opening the flashing software, the first step is to fully back up the original factory program—this is the most crucial step, as it allows restoration in case of any issues. Then upload the new program, making sure not to touch the power cable during the process, which takes about half an hour for the progress bar to complete. After the first ignition post-flashing, the engine light might come on, but driving a few kilometers usually clears it. DIY flashing saves two to three thousand yuan, but it’s essential to verify the program version—last time, using the wrong version nearly caused the turbocharger to report a fault. Now, after each flash, I always run a full vehicle scan with an OBD scanner.

Is the Issue of Engine Oil Pressure Not Rising Serious?

Insufficient oil pressure can cause the following problems for a car: Problems caused: Oil pressure insufficiency due to clogged oil passages: Oil pressure insufficiency due to clogged oil passages, which could be caused by a blocked filter or excessively dirty oil passages. Severe wear of bearing shells or oil leaks in the oil passages can lead to pressure loss throughout the oil system, resulting in insufficient pressure. Oil quality issues: The consequences of using inferior oil can, in severe cases, trigger a chain reaction of the above problems. During engine operation, normal oil pressure must be maintained. If the oil pressure is too low, the friction surfaces will wear out faster due to insufficient lubrication. If the oil pressure is too high, it can easily damage oil seals and oil pipes and consume engine power.

What are the maintenance items for a car at 15,000 kilometers?

At 15,000 kilometers, the car maintenance items include changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter, checking tire pressure, and inspecting the performance of lighting, warning lights, turn signals, and the car horn. Below are the detailed descriptions of car maintenance items: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement: This mainly involves maintenance for the lubrication system. The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the oil to ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, the car should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Filter replacement: The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The fuel filter is generally replaced after driving 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plug replacement: Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Additionally, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle, fuel injectors, and brake pads are all inspection items during routine maintenance, and their maintenance depends on usage conditions.

Is the Honda Super Cub sold in China?

Honda Super Cub is sold in China. Below is an introduction to the Honda Super Cub: 1. Features: The Honda CUB "You Shou" (Young Beast) is a small underbone motorcycle with remarkable vitality, boasting global sales exceeding 100 million units. It is known for being durable, stable, reliable, simple, flexible, and economical. Over the years, it has also gained an additional attribute: nostalgic charm. 2. Exterior: The 2020 Super Cub C125 features a "Pearl Nebula Red" color scheme, using the same red and white combination as when it was first introduced, giving it a strong vintage feel. The design retains charming elements like the gull-wing handlebars, S-shaped body curves, and a spacious leg wind deflector. The decorative panels below the headlight and seat feature high-quality nameplates that highlight its unique identity. Additionally, chrome plating is applied to multiple areas such as the exhaust pipe, headlight, and rearview mirrors. The aluminum alloy wheels adopt a multi-spoke design, and the enclosed chain case adds a full retro touch. 3. Performance: As a 2020 model, it naturally includes features not found in the original version, such as LED lighting, a digital instrument panel, keyless ignition, front disc brakes, and a 125cc engine, giving it a more modern feel. It uses the same single-cylinder horizontal air-cooled engine as the MSX125 and Monkey125, paired with a four-speed semi-automatic clutch transmission and a PGM-FI fuel injection system. Compared to the 50cc and 110cc versions, its power output reaches 6.9 kW (approximately 9.2 horsepower).

What Causes Transmission Clutch Plate Burning?

Transmission friction plate burning may be caused by clutch or brake slippage. Improper driver operation: Incorrect semi-engaged clutch operation can cause continuous friction between the clutch plate, pressure plate, and flywheel, generating excessive heat that easily burns the clutch plate. When abruptly releasing the clutch pedal during driving, the sudden engagement between the clutch plate and pressure plate creates intense instantaneous friction that cannot be effectively dissipated, leading to clutch plate disintegration and pressure plate surface damage. Clutch plate issues: Natural aging and wear from prolonged use or excessive mileage. Substandard clutch plate materials causing premature failure.

What are the models of booster cylinders?

Booster cylinders can be divided into the following three major categories and their respective models. Standard Booster Cylinder: Eight types of cylinder diameters, twelve types of total output force, eight types of total stroke, and seven types of booster stroke. The standard booster cylinder combines a hydraulic cylinder and a booster into an integrated unit, using compressed air as the power source. By leveraging the size difference between the booster piston and the shaft, it achieves a pressure effect that increases the air pressure by several tens of times. Adjustable Total Stroke Booster Cylinder: Five types of cylinder diameters, nine types of total output force, eight types of total stroke, and five types of booster stroke. The adjustable total stroke booster cylinder is an advanced version of the pre-pressure booster cylinder. Its external adjustable shaft controls the stroke length, allowing customers to set the maximum pre-pressure stroke and freely adjust the stroke length based on different product requirements. This product features two adjustable nuts for convenient, stable, and fast operation. Rapid Booster Cylinder: Five types of cylinder diameters, nine types of total output force, and eight types of total stroke. The rapid booster cylinder is an integrated form combining a hydraulic cylinder and a booster. It uses compressed air as the power source and leverages the ratio of the booster's piston cross-sectional area to increase the low pressure of the air by several tens of times, supplying it to the hydraulic cylinder to achieve high output force similar to a hydraulic cylinder.

What is the suitable tire pressure for rally racing?

Tire pressure of around 2.5mpa is suitable for rally racing. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts due to impact. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim leading to damage and abnormal wear at the bead area.
