Coolant temperature of 90 degrees is normal. For traditional engines, the normal operating temperature range for coolant is between 80-90 degrees, while for high-performance engines, it is normal below 105 degrees. The engine coolant temperature should neither be too low nor too high; it needs to be within a certain range. The normal temperature is typically indicated by the central position of the gauge at 90℃. Below is relevant information: Coolant Temperature Sensor: It is installed in the engine block water jacket or coolant pipeline, in contact with the coolant, to detect the engine's coolant temperature. After receiving this temperature signal, the ECU adjusts the fuel injection timing and ignition timing. Winter Antifreeze: To prevent the coolant from freezing after the car is parked in winter, which could cause the radiator and engine block to crack, the coolant's freezing point should be about 10℃ lower than the region's lowest temperature, in case of sudden weather changes.

How Big is a Car Fuel Tank?

Generally, the fuel tank capacity of small cars ranges from 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a capacity of 55-75 liters. A full tank typically allows a driving range of about 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank correlates with the vehicle's displacement—larger fuel consumption requires a bigger tank, and vice versa. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank volume specified by car manufacturers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel amount may exceed the marked tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full). When the needle approaches 'E,' it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is sufficiently filled.

Where is the middle seat belt in the back row of a car?

Generally, the middle seat belt in the back row is located on the rear ceiling, where you can see two different types of buckles. There are also two different types of sockets in the middle position, one on the left and one on the right. Seat belts are safety components used in equipment: They are straps used to ensure safety when riding aircraft or performing high-altitude work and artistic performances. The main materials are polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. Seat belts do not only refer to the webbing; besides the webbing, seat belts are also assembled with other components. One of the most important features of a car: Seat belts have become a primary consideration for drivers and passengers and are one of the most important features of a car. Traditional components for ensuring safe driving, such as rearview mirrors and side mirrors (traditional rearview systems), seat belts, AIRBAG (airbags), and ABS (anti-lock braking systems), are already familiar to most drivers and passengers and are commonly used in imported luxury cars.

Can a Motorcycle Be Equipped with a Dash Cam?

Motorcycles can be equipped with dash cams. Can be used as evidence: The video footage recorded by the dash cam can serve as evidence in traffic accidents or in cases of fraud, acting as favorable proof. It legally safeguards the rights of the driver, helping to avoid disputes. Additionally, it records the journey of the vehicle, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy road trips. Records the entire driving process with video and audio: A motorcycle's dash cam can record both video and audio during the driving process. After installation, it captures the entire journey, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. It's important to note that the video must not be edited when used as evidence; any edited footage will be considered invalid.

Is the Car Scrapped If the Engine Is Broken?

If the engine is broken, the car is not necessarily scrapped. A broken engine can be repaired, and if it cannot be repaired, a new engine can be installed as a replacement. Difference Between Recommended Scrapping and Mandatory Scrapping: Recommended scrapping suggests that the vehicle should be scrapped, but if the vehicle still meets the requirements for continued use, it does not have to be scrapped. Mandatory scrapping means the vehicle must, without exception, be scrapped. There are four criteria for mandatory scrapping: The vehicle has reached the prescribed service life; After repair and adjustment, it still does not meet the national standards for in-use vehicle safety technical requirements; After repair, adjustment, or the adoption of control technology, the vehicle still fails to meet national standards for in-use vehicle pollutant or noise emissions; The vehicle has not obtained the mandatory inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.

Why does fuel consumption increase after replacing brake pads?

Brake caliper not retracting, apply some grease on the caliper pins. Maintenance: Brake pads need to be replaced every 3 to 6 kilometers. In a vehicle's braking system, brake pads are the most critical component, as the effectiveness of braking entirely depends on them. Brake pads are generally composed of friction material, steel backing plate, and adhesive heat insulation layer. The steel plate should also be regularly coated to prevent rust. When the brake pad indicator light comes on, it indicates that the brake pads need replacement. If this occurs, they should be replaced promptly. Brake pads also need replacement if their thickness is less than 0.5cm. Braking working principle: It primarily relies on friction. The vehicle uses the friction between the brake pads and brake discs against the ground to effectively provide sufficient stability and controllability in the braking system, thereby ensuring the driver's safety.

Why don't people opt for partial paint touch-ups?

Partial paint touch-ups may result in color discrepancies. Partial touch-ups: There are generally two methods for repairing vehicle paintwork: one is touch-up painting, and the other is full panel respray. For minor scratches, most repair shops will only fix the damaged area and its surroundings, known as touch-up painting. The advantages of this method are obvious—it's quick, simple, and material-saving. However, the drawbacks are equally apparent: it may affect aesthetics, show color differences under sunlight, and potentially leave uneven paint surfaces after repair. Full panel respray: Except for the front and rear bumpers which can be painted halfway, all other panels require full respray. If the scratch isn't severe, polishing and waxing may suffice. However, if the primer is exposed or the damage is deep, the entire door panel needs respraying. Partial resprays often show severe color mismatches—sometimes it's better not to paint at all.
