Is the Hongqi Engine Domestically Produced?
1 Answers
The engines used by Hongqi are produced by the Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Factory, and these engines are domestically manufactured. The engine models used by Hongqi are mostly CA4GC. For example, the Hongqi HS5 is equipped with a 2.0T new CA4GC inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 340 Nm. For the daily maintenance of Hongqi engines, the following methods can be applied: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions. For diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate; When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in 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, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
