It is not okay if a car hasn't been serviced for over 10,000 kilometers. It has been identified as "voluntarily giving up the three guarantees." Moreover, the engine is already very dirty, and there are many impurities in the engine oil, which will affect its lifespan. Introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Maintenance scope: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance scope of the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc.

As someone who frequently helps friends with car repairs, I believe skipping maintenance for 10,000 kilometers could indeed cause trouble. Car maintenance is like regular health check-ups. Prolonged neglect can lead to engine oil aging and thickening, reducing lubrication effectiveness and increasing friction between engine components, potentially causing loud noises, higher fuel consumption, or oil burning. Not replacing coolant reduces heat dissipation capacity, making the engine prone to overheating in hot weather; expired brake fluid affects braking distance; clogged air filters increase engine strain. Some owners push their cars to 15,000 kilometers only to find severe sludge buildup during repairs, costing thousands out of pocket. I recommend getting a professional inspection as soon as possible—early intervention saves money and peace of mind. Develop a habit of servicing your car every 5,000 kilometers or so; don't wait for problems to regret it.

What to Do When a Car's Motor Has No Power and Won't Start?

When a car's motor has no power and won't start, you can use the push-start method or the jump-start method. Below are the introductions to these two methods: 1. Push-start method (only for manual transmission cars): This method is commonly seen and is only applicable to manual transmission cars. It involves gathering several people to push the car to get it started. Once the car reaches a certain speed, engage the gear and quickly release the clutch pedal while pressing the accelerator. As soon as the engine starts, quickly press the clutch pedal again and control the throttle to prevent the engine from stalling, then slowly pull over to park. 2. Jump-start method: For this method, you first need another car with a charged battery nearby and a set of jumper cables. Bring the two cars close together, open the hood to locate the other car's battery, and connect the two batteries using the jumper cables. Follow the specific steps below carefully. If you're not confident, it's better to seek help from a professional or a specialized service.

How to Reset the Oil Maintenance Light on BAIC BJ80C?

BAIC BJ80C oil maintenance light can be reset using a fault diagnostic tool. Additional information: 1. Function of the car maintenance light: The original intention of the car maintenance light is to remind the owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible. Therefore, the owner should promptly go to the 4S shop for maintenance. After the maintenance is completed, the 4S shop will use a fault diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light for the vehicle. 2. Definition of maintenance light reset: Most vehicle models have a maintenance light reminder function on the instrument panel. After driving a certain mileage or period of time, the LCD screen on the instrument panel will display a message prompting immediate maintenance. This means that the mileage or number of days the car has been driven has reached the time for replacing the three filters and oil. After replacing the three filters and oil, it is necessary to reset the system to allow the computer to re-memorize the next maintenance mileage or number of days, commonly known as maintenance light reset.

What are the reasons for the plunger pump failing to build up pressure?

The reasons for the plunger pump failing to build up pressure are: 1. The filter on the suction line is clogged; 2. The oil level in the hydraulic tank is too low; 3. The R-angle of the variable mechanism is too small, resulting in insufficient flow, combined with the effect of internal leakage, thus unable to continuously supply pressurized oil externally; 4. Severe damage to the contact surface between the distribution plate and the cylinder block, poor sealing, or initial poor sealing between the cylinder block and the distribution plate; 5. Severe wear between the plunger outer diameter and the cylinder bore, serious oil leakage, or insufficient driving power. The plunger pump is an important device in the hydraulic system, relying on the reciprocating movement of the plunger in the cylinder to change the volume of the sealed working chamber for oil suction and pressurization. The plunger pump has the advantages of high rated pressure, compact structure, high efficiency, and convenient flow regulation, and is widely used in applications requiring high pressure, large flow, and adjustable flow.

How much engine oil does the Touareg require?

The Volkswagen Touareg with the 3.0T engine requires 7 liters of engine oil, while the 2.0T model needs 5 liters. Engine oil helps reduce fuel consumption, lower exhaust emissions, and extend the lifespan of the catalytic converter. It offers strong high-temperature oxidation resistance, providing appropriate lubrication and effective protection for the engine under various harsh operating conditions, thereby extending its service life and reducing dry wear during engine startup. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 245 horsepower and a maximum torque of 370 Nm, with a maximum power output at 5000 to 6500 rpm and peak torque available between 1600 to 4300 rpm. It features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron block. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 3.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 340 horsepower and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, achieving peak power at 5300 to 6400 rpm and maximum torque between 1340 to 5300 rpm. It employs direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum cylinder head and block. This engine is also matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

How to Determine Abnormal Noise from Car Wheel Bearings?

What is the best way to repair a car tire puncture?

Methods for repairing car tire punctures are as follows: 1. Plug repair: This is the earliest and most traditional method of tire repair. The process involves inserting a rubber plug into the puncture hole of the tire. Once the air leakage stops, the repair is complete. The drawbacks are quite obvious. While the original puncture might have been caused by a small nail creating a tiny hole, to fit the plug, the hole needs to be enlarged further. This method can be quite damaging to the tire. 2. Mushroom plug repair: The mushroom plug resembles a large tack but has a long rubber strip in the middle. It is applied from the inside of the tire, with the rubber strip pushed through to the outside. The large patch is then firmly attached to the inside of the tire, and the excess part protruding outside is trimmed off. This method provides good protection for both the inner and outer surfaces of the tire. The downside is that it is the most expensive among tire repair methods, but it also offers the best results. 3. Cold patch repair: This method requires removing the tire from the rim, grinding off a layer on the inside of the tire, and then applying a new patch. This type of repair offers high stability, and the tire can be used normally without any issues.
