Mercedes car keys can be replaced at 4S stores or auto parts markets. More details about car key replacement are as follows: 1. Most car keys are equipped with electronic chip anti-theft technology, using two-way communication between the key and the vehicle. When the key ID verification is successful, the CAN communication sends a signal to the BCM to allow engine start-up. Only keys with registered ID codes in the BCM and ECM can start the engine. 2. 4S stores use specialized diagnostic computers and software to register keys. After initializing the ignition key, the key ID code is registered step by step. Auto parts markets may use password decryption methods to match keys, which has lower security. 3. For vehicles with smart keys, simply re-register the key. For mechanical keys with chips, 4S stores need to replace the steering lock to register the key and recommend replacing all mechanical lock cylinders in the vehicle.

Does the Chery 484 engine VVT pulley need timing alignment?

Chery 484 engine VVT pulley requires timing alignment. Issues with the VVT timing pulley may cause timing belt skipping, leading to symptoms such as unstable idle speed and poor acceleration in the engine. Nature of VVT: The technology employed in VVT engines, namely Continuous Variable Valve Timing technology, can continuously adjust the engine's valve opening/closing timing and air intake volume, thereby improving engine power, optimizing torque curves, and reducing fuel consumption. Working principle of VVT: The working principle of VVT is that the crankshaft drives the camshaft through timing belts, gears, or chains. The profile and position of camshaft lobes are typically optimized for specific engine speeds, which usually reduces torque at low RPM and power at high RPM. VVT technology enables adjustments based on engine operating conditions, enhancing engine efficiency and power output.
