Why does the thermostat of Geely Vision not open after replacing the coolant?

The reasons why the thermostat of Geely Vision does not open after replacing the coolant are as follows: Internal damage to the thermostat: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, changing the circulation range of the water to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. The thermostat must maintain good technical condition; otherwise, it will seriously affect the normal operation of the engine. Damage to the thermostat opening valve: If the main valve of the thermostat opens too late, it will cause the engine to overheat; if the main valve opens too early, it will prolong the engine warm-up time, resulting in the engine temperature being too low. Air not completely purged: If the air is not completely purged after replacing the coolant in the Geely Vision, it will cause the thermostat not to open.

What is the reason why the BMW ignition brake cannot be pressed down?

BMW ignition brake cannot be pressed down due to problems with the brake hydraulic system, causing excessive pressure; the newly replaced brake discs have not been adjusted, resulting in the inability to press down. Brake hydraulic system failure: The car's vacuum booster pump leaks or malfunctions. The force applied to the brake pedal is amplified by the brake booster pump. If it fails, the brake loses its assist, making it difficult to press down. Newly replaced brake discs: New brake pads require a break-in period of 200 kilometers to achieve optimal braking performance. Therefore, it is recommended to drive cautiously after replacing new brake pads.

Why is the speedometer of BMW e46 not working?

The reasons for the speedometer needle not moving are as follows: Check the flexible shaft connection: First, check if the flexible shaft connection is disconnected, then see if the mileage starts to increase. If only the speedometer is not working, then it can only be replaced with a new one. Another possibility is that there is a foreign object stuck inside the instrument, preventing it from moving. Open the instrument to remove the foreign object, and it should work. Foreign object inside the dashboard: The speedometer is generally located inside the instrument panel, symmetrically placed with the speedometer and odometer. Most cars have electronic speedometers, which can be either pointer-type or LCD digital display-type. A foreign object inside the dashboard can cause the needle to fail to rotate. There may also be issues with the wiring inside the speedometer, such as aging or burning out.
