You can determine whether the exhaust valve is damaged by checking if there is blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The specific explanation is as follows: After the exhaust valve is damaged, it will cause the car to burn engine oil, resulting in severe blue smoke in the exhaust. Because the exhaust valve is damaged, the engine oil burns faster, and consumption increases. Open the engine oil filler cap—if the suction is severe (i.e., the cap is pulled in), it indicates a problem with the exhaust valve. Relevant information is introduced as follows: The exhaust valve is commonly referred to by its colloquial name; the professional term is the pressure control valve or oil separator. The exhaust valve is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet, improving heat transfer efficiency in the condenser and evaporator through separation.

What do the numbers on a car battery represent?

The numbers on a car battery represent the following meanings: 1. 6: Indicates that the battery consists of 6 individual cells, with each cell having a rated voltage of 2V, making the entire battery 12V. 2. Q: Indicates the battery's purpose. Q stands for batteries used in automotive starting applications. M is for motorcycle batteries, JC for marine batteries, HK for aviation batteries, D for electric vehicle batteries, and F for valve-regulated batteries. 3. A and W: Indicate the battery type. A stands for dry-charged batteries, while W represents maintenance-free batteries. If no such markings are present, it indicates a standard battery. 4. 54: Indicates the battery's rated capacity of 54Ah. 5. Subscript a: Represents the first improvement to the original product. If marked as b, it signifies the second improvement (and so on).

Is the Changan CS35PLUS fuel-consuming?

Under normal driving conditions, the fuel consumption of the Changan CS35PLUS is approximately 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. The Changan CS35PLUS has been upgraded from the original CS35 model, and it also incorporates an intelligent fuel-saving system, which helps to reduce fuel consumption to a certain extent. Below is the relevant information: 1. Changan CS35PLUS: The Changan CS35PLUS is equipped with a BLUECORE 1.6L direct-injection naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum output power of 128 horsepower (94kW) and a peak torque of 161 N·m. The transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. Changan CS35PLUS Blue Whale Edition: The Changan CS35PLUS Blue Whale Edition is equipped with a Blue Whale 1.4T high-pressure direct injection engine, with a maximum power of 158 horsepower and a peak torque of 260 N·m. In terms of transmission, it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. At the same time, this power system will meet the China VI emission standards.

Is there a problem if the car is not started for a month?

Generally speaking, it is not a big problem if a car is not started within one month of parking (unless the car is old or in poor condition). Occasionally, it does not have much impact, but if it happens frequently, it will have a significant impact on the car, easily leading to battery depletion and inability to start. The following are the hazards of long-term parking of a car: 1. Corrosiveness: If the engine is not running for a long time, the engine oil has certain corrosive properties that greatly affect metal components. Over time, the oil will precipitate, causing excessive carbon deposits in the engine; 2. Reduced tire lifespan: Rubber parts such as tires may develop small cracks, reducing their lifespan, and the muffler may also deteriorate faster. A battery with low charge for a long time will also have a reduced lifespan. In short, it is not recommended to park the car for a long time without starting it.

Impact of High Oil Viscosity on Vehicles

Here is a related introduction to the impact of high oil viscosity on vehicles: 1. The effect of oil viscosity on the engine: The primary function of oil is to reduce engine friction. For engines with high torque and high speed, high-viscosity oil allows the engine to operate smoothly. However, for engines with low speed and low torque, high-viscosity oil can easily become a burden, not only failing to reduce engine friction but also likely increasing friction resistance. 2. Different oils for different seasons: High-viscosity oil is suitable for summer but must not be used in winter. Because the oil viscosity is already high in cold weather, the oil pump may struggle to draw oil through the filter screen of the oil pan during cold starts. Therefore, it is crucial not to use high-viscosity oil in winter and to choose the appropriate oil wisely.

Differences Between Station Wagons and Sedans?

Traveling cars and sedans differ in the following ways: 1. Suspension: The rear suspension of a station wagon is generally stiffer, which may slightly reduce ride comfort compared to a sedan. 2. Sound insulation: Station wagons may have slightly inferior sound insulation because the cabin and trunk are connected, allowing rear wheel noise to enter. In terms of driving and riding experience, sedans usually perform better. 3. Space: Most station wagons are based on sedans but feature an extended rear compartment raised to the roof level to increase luggage space. Sedans have a lower trunk than the roof. Station wagons are suitable for long-distance travel with ample space to carry sufficient travel gear, whereas sedans have less space and storage capacity than station wagons. 4. Power: Station wagons are primarily designed for family travel, so they typically have greater torque than sedans.
