Soundproofing car doors is relatively effective at blocking mid-frequency noise, but reducing mid-frequency noise alone does not significantly decrease overall noise levels, as high-frequency and low-frequency noises remain. However, it does alter the direction of noise sources, which can improve comfort to some extent. Additional Information: 1. For older vehicles with noticeable noise, soundproofing all four doors can lead to a marked improvement in noise insulation and comfort. 2. For newer vehicles where noise is not a major issue, soundproofing all four doors may not yield a noticeable difference, as other noises such as engine noise, tire noise, and chassis noise persist. 3. Some DIY-savvy car owners may consider soundproofing their car doors themselves. However, it is crucial to pay attention to the soundproofing materials used, as the market offers a wide variety of products. It is essential to choose reliable, environmentally compliant materials.

Can You Still Drive When the Warning Light Comes On?

Not all engine warning lights indicate that the vehicle cannot be driven. If the engine warning light is on but there are no abnormal noises in the engine compartment, no other unusual alerts on the dashboard, the vehicle's power is unaffected, and the transmission shifts gears normally, you can continue driving to the 4S store for further diagnosis. Issues like intake or exhaust problems can trigger the engine warning light, so the specific situation must be analyzed. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about vehicle faults: 1. Classification: Fault codes are divided into permanent fault codes (which can only be cleared after repair) and transient fault codes (intermittent faults). 2. Hazards: Poor quality of vehicle exhaust emissions, leading to environmental pollution; increased fuel consumption; elevated combustion chamber temperature and accelerated wear, causing faster engine wear; increased engine noise, affecting driving and passenger comfort.

What engine does the Haval H5 use?

The engine of the Haval H5 is independently developed by Great Wall Motors and belongs to a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Haval H5 is 4G63S4T, with a maximum power of 140 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 190. For daily maintenance of the Haval H5's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 km for the Civic?

The Civic currently has 6 latest models on sale. Among them, the 2022 240TURBO-CVT RAN QING Edition, JING KONG Edition, and RAN DONG Edition are equipped with a 182-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100 km. The 2022 240TURBO-CVT JING DONG Edition is equipped with a 182-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.8L per 100 km. The 2022 180TURBO-CVT SHANG QING Edition is equipped with a 129-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.7L per 100 km. The 2022 180TURBO-CVT SHANG DONG Edition is equipped with a 129-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 km. The fuel tank capacity of the Honda Civic is 41L. The distance that different models can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the 2022 240TURBO-CVT RAN QING Edition, JING KONG Edition, and RAN DONG Edition, the distance on a full tank is 41/5.9*100=694km. For the 2022 240TURBO-CVT JING DONG Edition, the distance on a full tank is 41/5.8*100=706km. For the 2022 180TURBO-CVT SHANG QING Edition, the distance on a full tank is 41/5.7*100=719km. For the 2022 180TURBO-CVT SHANG DONG Edition, the distance on a full tank is 41/5.5*100=745km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to burn, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
