Whether to apply a paint protection film (PPF) on a Mercedes-Benz depends on your actual needs. Definition of PPF: PPF is a high-performance, eco-friendly film widely used in the automotive beauty and maintenance industry. It is commonly known as a transparent paint protection film. With exceptional toughness, it isolates the car's paint from the air after application, providing long-lasting protection. Material composition of PPF: PPF is a thermoplastic polyurethane film containing UV-resistant polymers that prevent yellowing. It boasts superior toughness, wear resistance, and remains non-yellowing. Easy to apply, it resists collisions and scratches. Once installed, it shields the car's paint from air exposure, protecting against acid rain, oxidation, and scratches, ensuring durable paint preservation.

Should the Activated Carbon Side of the Cabin Air Filter Face Up or Down?

Whether the activated carbon side of the cabin air filter should face up or down depends on the direction of the blower's airflow: if the air blows upward, the activated carbon side should face downward; if the air blows downward, the activated carbon side should face upward. Activated carbon has strong adsorption properties, which can trap odors from the air onto the cabin air filter, filtering them out before the air enters the vehicle. The effects of a dirty air filter include: 1. Reduced filtration efficiency, leading to severe wear in the engine cylinders; 2. Incomplete combustion of gasoline, increased carbon buildup in the throttle body, resulting in unstable idling, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and abnormal engine vibrations; 3. Blockage, causing insufficient air intake into the engine.

What is the purpose of an oil filter?

An oil filter is used to remove impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot particles from the engine oil, thereby protecting the engine. Oil filters can be categorized into full-flow and bypass types. The full-flow filter is connected in series between the oil pump and the main oil gallery, filtering all the lubricating oil entering the main oil gallery. The bypass filter is connected in parallel with the main oil gallery, filtering only a portion of the lubricating oil delivered by the oil pump. During engine operation, metal shavings, dust, oxidized carbon deposits and gum deposits formed under high temperatures, water, and other contaminants continuously mix with the lubricating oil. The role of the oil filter is to remove these mechanical impurities and gum, maintaining the cleanliness of the lubricating oil and extending its service life.

Is It Serious If Water Submerges the Chassis?

It is not a serious issue if a car's chassis is submerged in water for a short period. Below are the correct methods for driving through water: 1. Assess the depth of the water: If the water does not exceed half the height of the wheels, it is safe to proceed; otherwise, it is not advisable to continue driving. 2. Use snow mode: After entering a waterlogged section, slow down and drive cautiously. For automatic transmission vehicles, try to use first gear and preferably engage snow mode to prevent wheel slippage. 3. Continuous braking: After exiting the waterlogged section, apply the brakes several times in succession to evaporate the moisture from the brake discs, ensuring the vehicle's braking performance is not affected.

What are the symptoms of a burnt clutch?

The symptoms of a burnt clutch include: 1. Difficulty in pressing the clutch pedal; 2. Difficulty in shifting gears even when the clutch is pressed; 3. Slow car acceleration despite pressing the accelerator; 4. A burning smell and rapid increase in engine RPM. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact from the engine to prolong the lifespan of transmission gears. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When the inner race is fixed, the outer race can rotate freely in the clockwise direction without locking the wedge block; 2. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedge block locks, preventing the outer race from rotating.

How to Set Seat Memory for BMW 3 Series?

First, use one of the car keys (Key A) to unlock the vehicle and enter the driver's seat. Adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to your preferred position. Then, press the M button, which will emit a red light. Next, press and hold button 1 to complete the setting. If you use another key (Key B) to set the memory, select button 1. This way, when different keys are used to select button 1, the system will record the settings separately for each key. When there is no one in the driver's seat, you can directly press buttons 1 or 2 to adjust the seat. However, when someone is seated, you need to press and hold button 1 or 2 to make adjustments.

What grade of engine oil does the Levin use?

Levin uses 5W30 engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce wear between the piston and cylinder, and between the main shaft and bearing bush, providing lubrication; 2. To assist in cooling the engine internally; 3. To clean carbon deposits, sludge, and metal particle impurities from engine components; 4. To minimize gas leakage and prevent external contaminants from entering; 5. To cushion and reduce the load on pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings. Taking the 2021 Levin as an example, it is a compact car equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum torque of 185Nm, and a maximum power of 85kW, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
