I've been researching domestic car engines recently. Not all Geely Emgrand models are equipped with three-cylinder engines—it depends on the specific model and year. For example, the 2023 Emgrand GL Pro and Emgrand GT premium versions commonly use a 1.5L turbocharged three-cylinder engine, which delivers strong power but sometimes noticeable vibrations, especially at high speeds. However, older Emgrand models like the Classic edition still retain the 1.8L four-cylinder option, which is more stable but slightly less fuel-efficient. When buying a new car, it's advisable to check the configuration sheet or test-drive to experience the smoothness of the three-cylinder engine—don't just rely on advertisements. Three-cylinder engines, being fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, are a trend and comply with China VI emissions standards, but maintenance requires regular spark plug replacements to prevent vibration issues. Overall, the Emgrand series flexibly caters to different needs: younger buyers prioritizing fuel efficiency may opt for the new three-cylinder models, while families valuing comfort can choose the four-cylinder option.

What is the difference between a particulate filter and a three-way catalytic converter?

The differences between a particulate filter and a three-way catalytic converter are as follows: Brief description: The three-way catalytic converter converts harmful gases emitted by the vehicle into harmless gases through oxidation and reduction reactions; the particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the emission system of a diesel engine, and the regeneration or purification function of the filter must be completed on a controlled basis to prevent the filter from being clogged by soot. Function: The particulate filter burns the captured particulate emissions during vehicle operation; the three-way catalytic converter refers to the vehicle's purification device that converts harmful gases into harmless gases, thereby purifying the vehicle's exhaust, provided that there is still oxygen available and the air-fuel ratio is reasonable. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filter inside, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed on the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, burning off the carbon smoke particles adsorbed on it and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then emitted.

Is the Levin a Hybrid Vehicle?

The Levin is a hybrid vehicle. The Toyota Levin's hybrid model excels in fuel economy and technology, but has the drawback of relatively high maintenance costs. Here is more information about hybrid vehicles: 1. Mild Hybrid: Mild hybrid models have minimal modifications compared to conventional models. Currently, 48V mild hybrids are predominant, though manufacturers like Cadillac have introduced 90V mild hybrids. These systems add a 90V battery to fuel-powered models, providing limited driving force during vehicle start-up and rapid acceleration. By reducing the engine's workload in high fuel-consumption scenarios, they help lower fuel consumption. However, the electric motor in mild hybrids is very weak and cannot independently propel the vehicle. Additionally, their fuel efficiency performance is not particularly outstanding. 2. Hybrid Electric (HEV): Hybrid electric technology is primarily mastered by Japanese manufacturers like Toyota and Honda. HEVs feature significantly larger batteries and more powerful motors than mild hybrids. Similar to mild hybrids, HEVs do not require external charging; the onboard battery is charged through energy recovery during braking or downhill driving, as well as by the engine during steady driving. 3. Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV): Plug-in hybrid models are equipped with a larger-capacity battery, and their engine is powerful enough to drive the vehicle independently. Unlike the previous two hybrid types, PHEVs can operate solely on electric power.

What does the engine oil light sensor mean?

Yellow engine oil light symbol sensor is a reminder that there is a fault with the oil pump or sensor, and the car needs to be inspected at a repair station when this issue occurs. The yellow engine oil light indicates insufficient oil pressure, which could be due to a lack of oil, a fault with the oil pump or sensor, or a blocked oil passage. Turn off the engine and check if the oil is severely deficient. If the oil level is sufficient, it might be due to a clogged oil pump or a faulty oil pressure sensor. Below is an introduction to the causes of the engine oil light turning on: 1. Insufficient oil volume: Normal oil consumption can cause the oil pump's output to decrease due to low oil volume, eventually leading to a drop in oil pressure and triggering the oil light alarm. 2. Engine temperature too high: Prolonged aggressive driving can put the engine under high-temperature load conditions. Even if the oil volume is sufficient, excessively high temperatures can thin the oil, causing it to leak through the gaps and resulting in a drop in oil pressure. 3. Damaged oil pump: If the components of the oil pump are worn or improperly assembled, leading to excessive gaps or abnormal operation, the oil pump may fail to deliver oil or deliver insufficient oil, causing the oil light to alarm.

What is the normal oil dipstick level?

It is recommended to fill the engine oil between the upper and lower marks, which is the most appropriate. It is acceptable to fill the engine oil up to the upper limit of the dipstick, but it should not exceed the maximum mark. First, pay attention to the prerequisites for checking the dipstick, which is the standard for inspection. Do not check when the car is running; secondly, during the inspection process, park the car properly, engage the handbrake, and ensure that all four wheels of the car are on the same horizontal level. If the car body is tilted, the oil level in the engine oil pan will change, leading to inaccurate measurement results. 1. First, locate the dipstick handle in the engine compartment and prepare a piece of tissue paper. 2. Then pull out the dipstick and use the tissue paper to wipe off as much oil as possible from the dipstick head. At this point, observe the position of the oil mark on the dipstick (usually marked with MIN and MAX). 3. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick back into place, making sure it is fully inserted, then pull it out again. The oil stuck to the very end of the dipstick can now be used for inspection. 4. Observe the engine oil stuck on the dipstick to determine the highest point of the oil in the engine. If the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, this is the most ideal position, indicating that the amount of lubricating oil in the engine is just right.

How to Deal with Engine Abnormal Noise Caused by Burning Out Engine Oil?

Engine abnormal noise should be repaired in time to prevent the failure from expanding. Here are the specific introductions: 1. Transmission abnormal noise: The transmission has many parts, and the causes of noise are relatively complex. When analyzing and judging, pay attention to: whether it is related to a specific speed. Planetary gear noise is more obvious at about 50km/h. Whether it is related to certain gears, which is very important for judging transmission failures. If a certain gear makes noise, it must be related to the parts affecting the transmission of that gear; if all gears make noise, it is often the failure of the constant meshing gear shaft or lack of oil in the transmission. Whether it is related to specific actions, such as shifting gears, starting, rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, turning, etc., are effective means to judge abnormal noise. Among them, changing speed and direction are particularly important for judging rear axle failures. 2. Wear and abnormal noise: Door abnormal noise is caused by lack of lubrication. It is necessary to judge whether it is the door hinge position or the internal door glass lifter, door lock mechanism, handle mechanism, etc. If it is the door hinge or limiter, use special door hinge and slide lubricating grease. For the internal door glass lifter, door lock mechanism, handle mechanism, etc., use special door accessory lubricating grease. In terms of brand selection, try to choose the brands commonly used by 4S stores. It is not advisable to use engine oil or ordinary butter, which will freeze in winter, and harmful odors will affect health.

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in the BYD F0?

The main reasons for the engine warning light to illuminate include sensor issues, car maintenance problems, fuel quality issues, poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, engine intake problems, turbocharging issues, exhaust system problems, and anti-theft system malfunctions. Additionally, during vehicle startup, the car performs a self-check on the engine system. Normally, the engine warning light will turn off after the self-check is completed. If it remains on for an extended period, it is advisable to promptly visit a repair station for professional assistance to diagnose and eliminate potential safety hazards. Below is a detailed explanation of each type of fault: Sensor Issues: Sensors include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen levels, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruptions, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, causing the engine warning light to illuminate. In such cases, it is essential to seek professional inspection at a repair center to promptly eliminate safety hazards. Maintenance Issues: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine warning light illuminating. Vehicles have specific maintenance cycles. Failure to adhere to these cycles, combined with poor driving habits, increases the operational burden on the engine, eventually triggering the engine warning light to alert the owner of a fault. Fuel Quality Issues: This refers to both fuel and engine oil. The fuel used in cars typically has a specific octane rating, and engine oil can be semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Manufacturers usually recommend the type of fuel and engine oil to use. If the owner fails to follow these recommendations, prolonged use can lead to engine wear, causing the warning light to illuminate. It is crucial to use the recommended fuel octane rating and appropriate engine oil. Poor Combustion of the Air-Fuel Mixture: Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can lead to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This results in engine carbon buildup or knocking, which the oxygen sensor detects and reports to the ECU, triggering the warning light as a warning. Intake Problems: During engine combustion, air intake is essential, and the air filter plays a critical role. If the air filter is dirty or not cleaned regularly, it can affect the engine's air intake, potentially leading to blockages over time. In severe cases, this can cause the engine warning light to illuminate. Turbocharging Issues: Problems with the intake boost pipes or turbocharger can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The most common issue is a damaged turbocharger, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Exhaust Problems: Faults in the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearings can trigger the engine warning light. The most common issue is a faulty catalytic converter, often caused by using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based oil additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions. Anti-Theft System: If the car's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or the anti-theft controller is incompatible with the engine ECU, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating correctly, causing the warning light to illuminate. Solutions for an Illuminated Engine Warning Light: If the engine warning light is on and the car cannot start, this may be due to a faulty fuel pump or ignition components. In such cases, it is best to call for assistance immediately. If the engine warning light is on but the car can still be driven, yet exhibits severe shaking or loss of power, pull over safely and call for roadside assistance. If the engine warning light is on but there are no noticeable driving issues, this may indicate a faulty sensor. In such cases, you may continue driving cautiously at low to moderate speeds but should visit a repair shop as soon as possible to address the issue.
