During installation, place the sprocket on the unworn sprocket seat, install the sprocket fixing screws, and make sure to attach the locking washers. Slightly tighten the chain and slowly rotate the rear wheel to observe the tension. If the tension varies, it indicates that the sprocket and tire are not concentric. Adjust by rotating the rear wheel to the point where the chain is tightest. Rotate the rear wheel to check if the chain still has varying tension. After repeating this process several times until the chain runs smoothly, tighten the sprocket fixing screws and secure the locking washers, then recheck the tension.

What are the reasons for the heavy electronic power steering wheel of the Sylphy Classic?

The reasons for the heavy electronic power steering wheel of the Sylphy Classic include: excessive tightness between the rolling bearings and sliding bearings connected to the steering system, the pump pressure of the power steering pump failing to meet the standard value, low hydraulic pressure of the steering gear, and air mixed in the steering system. Excessive tightness between the rolling bearings and sliding bearings connected to the steering system can reduce the lubrication effect of the bearings, leading to sticking phenomena, which manifests as a heavy steering wheel. Lubricating oil can be added. When the pump pressure of the power steering pump fails to meet the standard value, the steering wheel may feel heavy during use. Check the flow control valve; during driving, leaks in the flow control valve or safety valve can be repaired by grinding, followed by checking if the spring of the safety valve has failed. The pump pressure can be adjusted at a 4S shop. When the hydraulic pressure of the steering gear is low, the steering wheel may also feel heavy. If the steering wheel becomes heavy due to steering oil pressure, it is necessary to promptly go to a repair shop for maintenance. When air is mixed in the car's steering system, not only does the steering become heavy, but there will also be noise during the steering process. It needs to be addressed promptly to avoid unnecessary losses later.

What is the reason for the right fan of Honda Civic not working?

The reasons for the right fan of Honda Civic not working are as follows: 1. Improper maintenance: The shaft lacks oil, and you can evenly apply engine oil (or lubricant) on the shaft position. 2. The starting capacitor capacity becomes smaller: This is due to the fan being used for too long, causing insufficient starting torque of the motor, and the internal electrical components need to be replaced. 3. Motor overheating: Check whether the internal wiring of the fan is normal and replace the components. Below is extended information about car fans: 1. Function: The car fan blows towards the radiator to cool it and dissipate heat for the engine. It should not blow towards the engine direction, as this will increase the engine temperature. The fan is installed behind the radiator and shares the same axis as the water pump. When the fan rotates, it creates suction on the air, accelerating the airflow along the axis direction, thereby speeding up the cooling of the coolant flowing through the radiator core, while also cooling the engine body's shell and surrounding accessories. 2. Principle: The car fan is installed behind the radiator (close to the engine compartment side), and when turned on, it draws air from the front of the radiator; however, some models have the fan installed in front of the radiator (outer side), blowing air towards the radiator when turned on. The fan starts or stops automatically based on the water temperature. When the vehicle speed is high, the air pressure difference between the front and rear of the vehicle is sufficient to act as a fan and maintain the water temperature at a certain level, so the fan may not need to work at this time.

What is the average fuel consumption of the Haval H6?

The Haval H6 currently has 7 models on sale. Among them, the Haval H6-2021-National Trend Edition-1.5T-Automatic Urban Edition and Automatic Champion Edition, equipped with a 150 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.9L per 100km. The Haval H6-2021-National Trend Edition-1.5GDIT-Automatic Luxury Edition, Automatic Super Luxury Edition, and Automatic Champion Edition, equipped with a 169 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100km. The Haval H6-2021-National Trend Edition-2.0GDIT-Automatic GT Edition and Automatic Champion Edition, equipped with a 224 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.1L per 100km. All Haval H6 models have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance each model can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models with a 150 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 58L, and can travel 58/6.9*100=841km on a full tank. Models with a 169 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 58L, and can travel 58/6.6*100=879km on a full tank. Models with a 224 horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 58L, and can travel 58/7.1*100=817km on a full tank. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

Why does the Honda City idle higher when the headlights are turned on?

When the headlights are turned on, the car's idle speed will increase slightly, typically by around 50 RPM. Similarly, turning on the car's air conditioning will also cause the idle speed to rise, often by more than 50 RPM—sometimes even up to 100 RPM. This is because the air conditioning consumes significantly more electricity than the headlights. Of course, when all onboard electrical devices are turned off, the idle speed will return to the normal range. Below is an introduction to the Honda City: 1. Overview: The City is the only model in its class equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission (5AT), which is commonly found in higher-end vehicles. The City's 5AT was specifically developed and designed by Guangqi Honda for the City, featuring Honda's unique internal transmission layout with shared gears for the 4th and 5th speeds. This design significantly reduces the transmission's size, contributing to the vehicle's overall weight reduction. The 5AT offers a wider gear ratio range, with lower ratios in gears 1-4. Compared to a 4AT, the 5AT provides a broader and more reasonable gear ratio range, resulting in lower engine RPM at the same high speeds, quieter operation, and better fuel efficiency. At the same low speeds, the 5AT's lower gear ratios deliver more robust driving power compared to the 4AT, further enhancing performance. 2. Powertrain: The City is equipped with the same 1.3L i-DSI and 1.5L VTEC engines as the Fit, with maximum power outputs of 60 kW and 79 kW, and maximum torque outputs of 116 N·m and 143 N·m, respectively. Both engines offer excellent fuel economy, while the 1.5L VTEC engine also provides outstanding power output. The 5-speed manual transmission paired with these engines remains unchanged, but the City's automatic transmission is a 5-speed hydraulic unit (5AT), unlike the CVT (continuously variable transmission) used in the Fit.

What happens if the Honda crankshaft signal plate is installed backwards?

If installed backwards, it generally results in the inability to rotate the crankshaft (automatic transmissions may fail to install the fixing screws), and the car won't start. The methods for daily engine maintenance are as follows: 1. Regularly clean the crankcase: During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Additionally, oil oxidation at high temperatures forms varnish and carbon deposits that stick to pistons, increasing fuel consumption, reducing power, and in severe cases, causing piston rings to seize and cylinder scoring. Therefore, regularly use a high-efficiency, fast-acting cleaning agent for the lubrication system to clean the crankcase and maintain engine cleanliness. 2. Regularly remove carbon deposits from the car: During fuel combustion, carbon deposits are inevitable. Excessive carbon deposits can cause difficulties in starting, unstable idling, poor acceleration, backfiring during rapid acceleration, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption. These have many adverse effects on the engine, so it's important to prevent carbon buildup by driving at high speeds occasionally, increasing shift RPM appropriately, avoiding prolonged idling, and using clean gasoline. Good driving habits can reduce carbon deposits. 3. Regularly replace the coolant: The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, which prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, thereby avoiding radiator cracks and engine cylinder block or head damage. Many people think coolant is only for winter use, but it should be used year-round. In winter, it prevents freezing, and in summer, it prevents the engine from overheating. Original coolant typically needs replacement every 2 years or 60,000-80,000 km, after which annual replacement is recommended. When choosing coolant, select a product with a freezing point about 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in the vehicle's operating area. Always use the same type when adding coolant; mixing different types is not allowed.
