To remove the radio, instrument panel, center console, steering wheel, and other components on the dashboard, the process is quite intricate and complex. It is recommended to have it done at a professional repair shop. More details are as follows: 1. The heater core is a crucial heating component in the car's air conditioning system. The water used to cool the engine flows through the engine, gets heated, and then enters the heater core. The blower then directs air over the heater core to dissipate the heat, warming the cabin. 2. The existing heater core structure consists of upper and lower water chambers and a heat dissipation core located between them. The heat dissipation core includes water pipes connected to both water chambers and fins sandwiched between adjacent pipes. The pipes channel the hot water from the water chambers, and the fins spread the heat from the water inside the pipes. The blower directs air through the gaps between the fins to carry away the heat, and the cooled water enters the other water chamber and exits the heater core.

What color of antifreeze should be added to the Trumpchi GS8?

The Trumpchi GS8 uses red or green antifreeze, with the specification YA-956 concentration, and a freezing point of -35 degrees Celsius. Antifreeze is a 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 providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion. For the Trumpchi GS8, the antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, but this is only a reference interval. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Regularly check the antifreeze level. If it is found to be insufficient, replenish it promptly. If suspended matter, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and clean the system. When adding antifreeze, it is essential to use the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective.

Will I be charged if I enter the highway early and exit during the free period?

Entering the highway early and exiting during the free period will not incur charges. The national regulation for highway toll exemption states that small passenger vehicles exiting the highway during the free period are exempt from tolls. If you enter the highway during normal toll periods (non-holidays) and exit during the free period, you will not be charged. It is important to note that the condition for not being charged is that you do not pass through any toll stations before the free period begins. For example, if you enter the highway early but pass through an interprovincial toll station before the free period starts, you will be charged the toll. Highways are multi-lane roads exclusively designed for directional and lane-based vehicle travel, with fully controlled access. The average annual daily traffic volume for highways should ideally exceed 15,000 small passenger vehicles, with a design speed ranging from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.

How many liters of coolant does the Trumpchi GS4 require?

The Trumpchi GS4 requires 4 liters of coolant. How to choose coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are freezing point and boiling point. Coolants available on the market come in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it's advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to determine if coolant is low: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it's likely due to low coolant level, though it could also be caused by excessively high engine temperature. Check the coolant reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), you should not continue driving and need to add coolant promptly. Check the water level markings on the coolant tank. The normal coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. Whether the coolant is low depends on the markings. If the coolant is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of coolant.

Will traffic police regulate changing from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels?

Traffic police will regulate changing from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels, as modifying wheel specifications to differ from the data announced by the State Council's motor vehicle product authority constitutes illegal modification. Therefore, if wheel replacements are discovered by traffic police, penalties will be imposed. According to Article 16, Item 1 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, no unit or individual may assemble motor vehicles or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of motor vehicles without authorization. Without permission from the public security traffic management department, unauthorized modifications to the motor vehicle's chassis, engine, suspension, transmission system, steering system, tires and wheels, lights, body color painting, and exterior structure are all considered illegal modifications.
