Adding wheel spacers alters the wheel's ET (offset) and unsprung mass, which may slightly affect shock absorber performance and lifespan, but the impact is minimal. Here's some information about wheel spacers: Applications: Wheel spacers have extensive mechanical applications, resulting in various designs. Wheel Spacers: A wheel spacer is a disc-shaped component, most commonly seen in piping systems where they are used in pairs. In piping engineering, spacers primarily serve as connectors between pipes. When connecting two pipe ends, one spacer is installed on each end. Low-pressure pipelines can use threaded spacers, while welded spacers are required for pressures exceeding 4 kg.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Geely Boyue in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Geely Boyue is 58 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Geely Boyue can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Geely Boyue uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.1 to 7.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 753 to 817 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity.

Does the Cruze have a headlight cleaning function?

The entire Cruze lineup does not come equipped with a headlight cleaning function. Below are specific details about the headlight cleaning device: 1. The headlight cleaning device refers to an outlet located below the headlights that can clean dust and dirt from the headlights at any time. Generally, more advanced models are equipped with this feature. 2. The headlight cleaning device is mainly used in vehicles with xenon headlights. This is because xenon headlights offer advantages such as energy efficiency, high brightness, high color temperature comfort, and long lifespan. However, they also have drawbacks, namely a higher color temperature, which results in less penetration than halogen headlights in rainy, foggy, or snowy conditions. If the headlight cover accumulates dust and dirt, penetration becomes even worse, and some of the light source is absorbed. Additionally, dust particles can scatter the light source, making the headlight cleaning device necessary. 3. During nighttime or low-light driving, rain and dust can reduce the illumination of the headlights by up to 90%, significantly impairing the driver's visibility and posing a major safety hazard. Ensuring sufficient headlight illumination and providing clear visibility for the driver becomes a critical issue that needs to be addressed in such situations. The headlight cleaning device offers a simple and effective solution to this problem. Many countries now have laws requiring the installation of headlight cleaning systems in vehicles.

What is the real fuel consumption of the new X-Trail 2.0?

The MIIT-rated combined fuel consumption for the new X-Trail 2.0 is 6.9L/100km. Based on feedback from car owners, the actual fuel consumption is approximately 7-8L/100km, which may vary depending on driving habits and road conditions. The model has received excellent reviews. Below is a related introduction to the new X-Trail 2.0: 1. Design: The new X-Trail adopts the design of its overseas counterpart, with Nissan's V-Motion design language evolving toward a younger aesthetic. The grille area is larger than the current model, featuring a honeycomb pattern. The LED headlights have a sharp design, and the front bumper features more three-dimensional and complex air intake styling. 2. Rear: The rear of the new X-Trail shows minimal changes, with upgrades to the internal structure of the taillights and a new rear bumper design. The large black plastic panel paired with a silver two-stage skid plate gives it a fresher look. 3. Powertrain: Currently, only a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine has been spotted in the application information, with a maximum power output of 113kW (154PS), an increase of 3kW (4PS) over the current model. The transmission system continues to feature a CVT gearbox. Whether the new X-Trail will continue to offer the 1.2T engine remains unknown.

Where is the BMW 320 Air Filter Located?

The air filter for the BMW 320 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are the detailed steps for replacing the car's air filter: 1. Remove the contact cover on the outer side of the right foot: Use a T20 screwdriver to unscrew the central screw on the cover plate, then push the upper and lower edges of the plate towards the front of the car with a horizontal forward force. 2. Remove the cover plate below the steering wheel: This cover is made of black plastic and is located above the foot pedals and below the steering wheel shaft. It is an irregularly shaped, horizontally placed cover. Near the driver's side edge, there are two large circular fasteners; rotate them 180 degrees to release. Loosen the edges of this plate and remove it entirely. 3. Open the side cover of the air filter: There is a screw in the center of the air filter cover; unscrew it with a T20 screwdriver. After removing the screw, gently pry up the small latch below the cover and pull outward to open the cover. 4. Replace the air filter: Pull the old filter out horizontally. Note that the air filter has a specific direction—ensure it is not installed backward.

What to Do When the Angle is Too Large for Reverse Parking?

Methods to handle excessive angles during reverse parking: 1. Steering too early: When reversing with the steering wheel fully turned, observe the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the corner of the parking space in the right rearview mirror (if it's less than 300mm, or less than two fingers' width in the mirror, and the angle between the vehicle and the parking line is usually less than 45 degrees), you can adjust the distance by straightening the steering wheel. If the distance is too close, quickly straighten the steering wheel. After straightening, continue to observe the position of the corner in the rearview mirror to ensure the rear wheels can enter the parking space, then turn the steering wheel fully again. After turning, keep observing the alignment between the vehicle and the parking lines in both rearview mirrors. When they are nearly parallel, straighten the steering wheel and stop when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the parking line by pressing the brake and clutch. 2. Steering too late: Similarly, when reversing with the steering wheel fully turned, if the vehicle is parallel to the parking line, keep the steering wheel fully turned without straightening. Allow the vehicle to enter the parking space at an angle to create distance from the closer line, paying attention to the timing of straightening the steering wheel. Once sufficient distance is achieved, straighten the steering wheel to align the vehicle, then continue reversing slowly and stop at the designated point.

What is the symbol for car coolant?

The symbol for car coolant features two wavy lines at the bottom, representing water, with a thermometer in the middle of the wavy lines. Car coolant is also known as antifreeze, and its full name is antifreeze coolant. Coolant plays a crucial role in water-cooled engines. Functions of car coolant: Winter antifreeze: To prevent the coolant from freezing after the car is parked in winter, which could cause the radiator and engine block to crack, the freezing point of the coolant should be about 10 degrees lower than the lowest temperature in the region, in case of sudden weather changes. Anti-corrosion: If the engine is corroded and perforated, coolant leaking into the combustion chamber or crankcase can cause severe damage. When coolant or water mixes with engine oil, it can produce sludge and gum, weakening the lubrication effect and causing valves, hydraulic valve pushrods, and piston rings to stick. Therefore, a certain amount of anti-corrosion additives are added to the coolant to prevent corrosion of the cooling system. Anti-scaling: The coolant should minimize the formation of scale during circulation to avoid clogging the circulation pipes and affecting the heat dissipation function of the cooling system. High boiling point (anti-boiling): Coolant that meets national standards typically has a boiling point exceeding 105 degrees Celsius. Compared to water's boiling point of 100 degrees, coolant can withstand higher temperatures without boiling (overheating), to some extent meeting the cooling needs of high-load engines.
