I've driven several Dongfeng models, and it feels like both a domestic and joint-venture brand depending on the specific model. Dongfeng itself is a Chinese domestic brand, with series like Dongfeng Fengxing being purely locally made – affordable and practical. My daily commuter, the Dongfeng AX7, is a perfect example with its low maintenance costs and readily available parts. However, Dongfeng also collaborates with Japanese giants like Nissan and Honda, forming joint ventures such as Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Honda, which introduce advanced technologies like more reliable engine and chassis designs. Joint-venture models generally excel in performance and safety, while domestic models win on cost-effectiveness. Overall, Dongfeng emphasizes its domestic roots, but globalization-driven joint ventures have enhanced its technology. When buying, it boils down to personal needs and budget – whether you prioritize premium features or economic practicality.

What is the principle of the three wires in a BMW fan?

BMW fan has three wires: one is for high speed, one is for low speed, and the other is the negative wire. Both the high and low speed wires have no power. The power control is achieved when the temperature controller reaches 92-98 degrees, and the temperature signal is transmitted to the computer board to directly control the fan speed. Additional information: The working principle of BMW's electric fan: The electric fan in front of the condenser serves an auxiliary cooling function. The fan and its power output stage are designed as an integrated unit. Therefore, the speed of the electric fan is controlled by the coolant temperature at the radiator outlet and the pressure of the air conditioning refrigerant, and it gradually decreases as the driving speed increases.

Does the Tayron's automatic wipers turn on automatically?

The Tayron's automatic wipers turn on automatically when the vehicle detects an increase in rainwater. Here are some precautions for using the wipers: 1. Maintain cleanliness: If streaks appear on the windshield, the wiper blades may be dirty. Dip a towel in alcohol and wipe along the edge of the wiper blade to remove accumulated dirt, debris, and dead leaves. Clean the wiper blades once a month to keep them in good condition. 2. Check the rubber: If the wipers make a harsh noise while working, the rubber may be aging or cracked. If the wear is not severe, you can use sandpaper to smooth out rough spots on the surface. 3. Avoid sunlight: A ventilated and shady place is suitable for long-term parking of the car. During the hot summer season, many vehicles are exposed to the sun. It's important to know that high temperatures are the enemy of rubber materials. Therefore, this will accelerate the aging of the wiper blades.

What is the solution for the whining noise from the Sagitar's air conditioner?

If the noise is caused by the car's air conditioning compressor, it is necessary to have the air conditioning compressor repaired at a 4S shop. If the noise is caused by the compressor's electromagnetic clutch, the bearing inside the electromagnetic clutch needs to be replaced. Here is a related introduction to the noise from the Sagitar's air conditioner: 1. Noise from the car's air conditioning compressor: As a high-speed rotating component, the air conditioning compressor has a relatively high probability of failure, with noise being a common issue. There are many reasons for compressor noise, such as damage to the compressor's electromagnetic clutch or severe internal wear in the compressor. 2. The electromagnetic clutch of the compressor is a common source of noise. The compressor often operates under high load, shifting from low to high speeds, which places high demands on the electromagnetic clutch. Additionally, the electromagnetic clutch is usually installed close to the ground and frequently exposed to rain and dirt. When the bearing inside the electromagnetic clutch is damaged, it will produce noise.

What causes the loud bang when a car runs over a stone?

When a car runs over a stone and makes a loud bang, it could be due to the stone hitting the chassis, the sound coming from the suspension's lower control arm, or the shock absorber. If this happens, it is recommended to have the chassis inspected. More details are as follows: 1. Shock Absorber: The shock absorber in a vehicle is a wear-and-tear part. Most vehicle shock absorbers can last a long time, but their performance degrades over time. If you run over a large stone and hear a very loud noise, it might be coming from the shock absorber. 2. Oil Leakage: Some vehicle shock absorbers may develop oil leaks over time. If a shock absorber is leaking, it needs to be replaced. When replacing shock absorbers, it is recommended to replace all four at once. If only one shock absorber is leaking, it indicates that the other three are likely to start leaking soon, so it is advisable to replace all four shock absorbers together.
