Crankshaft pulley rubber aging is primarily due to prolonged usage over time. Consequences of crankshaft pulley rubber aging: A damaged crankshaft pulley can affect the engine, leading to weakened vehicle power, engine idling or abnormal noises during acceleration, increased operational resistance and potential seizure. It may also snap the timing belt, cause valve damage, and necessitates immediate replacement as a faulty crankshaft pulley severely impacts engine performance. Replacement procedure for aged crankshaft pulley rubber: First, remove the air filter using a Phillips screwdriver and specialized tools. Detach the front grille with a Phillips screwdriver, then loosen the generator bracket bolts and the generator itself with tools. Remove the generator belt. Next, loosen the air conditioning compressor bracket bolts and detach the compressor belt. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the small hole at the transmission bottom to lock the flywheel, while simultaneously loosening the crankshaft pulley bolt with tools and removing it. At this point, the pulley should come off easily.

What are the symptoms of motorcycle heat fade?

Motorcycle heat fade symptoms include the throttle being fully open but the engine speed not exceeding 5000 RPM, speed not reaching 50 km/h, and the engine sound being muffled. Definition of heat fade: Heat fade occurs in air-cooled motorcycles during prolonged, high-speed riding over long distances in summer, when the engine cannot dissipate the high temperatures. Hazards of heat fade: Engine heat fade results in the vehicle losing acceleration power. When this happens, the cylinder expands, the piston rings lose elasticity, cylinder pressure drops, and power decreases; the engine oil becomes thin and loses its lubricating properties, increasing friction. In severe cases, the air-fuel mixture entering the cylinder is directly ignited by the high temperature, causing ignition timing to become erratic; the piston does not reach the top dead center of compression, reducing combustion efficiency.

What are the adjustments to the new vehicle inspection regulations on November 20th?

The adjustments to the new vehicle inspection regulations on November 20th include: expanding the scope of exemption from inspection and adjusting the annual inspection cycle. Expanding the scope of exemption from inspection: The vehicles exempt from inspection have been expanded from small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer to those with 7-9 seats. In other words, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats that have an annual inspection date after November 20, 2020, and are within 6 years of use can now also enjoy the exemption policy. Adjusting the annual inspection cycle: According to the previous regulations, private vehicles aged 6-10 years required an annual inspection. After the implementation of the new policy, this will change to an inspection every two years. Simply put, non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles within 10 years of use will only require an inspection every two years, with only the 6th and 8th years requiring an on-site inspection.

How to Deal with Color Difference After Removing Car Stickers?

If there is a color difference after removing car stickers, you can opt for polishing or repainting the entire vehicle. 1. Partial stickers: Over time, the car paint will oxidize, leading to a color difference after removal. 2. Full-body stickers: Prolonged use may cause the sticker color to change, but the stickers protect the original paint. If the stickers are removed, there is usually no color difference. Below are some methods for removing stickers: 1. Use an eraser to rub away the marks, repeating several times. However, parts prone to fading may also be rubbed off, so use this method with caution. 2. Over time, adhesive residue often becomes hard and firmly attached. In this case, you can gently cover the residue with a warm, damp towel, wait for a while, remove the towel, and then slowly wipe it away.

Can automatic transmission cars coast in neutral? Does it save fuel?

Automatic transmission cars should not coast in neutral for extended periods, as this operation not only fails to save fuel but also damages the transmission. Automatic transmission gear shifting: The transmission of an automatic car is completely different from that of a manual car. The gears of an automatic car are shifted by the onboard computer based on throttle response or preset vehicle speed. If you attempt to save fuel by shifting from D (Drive) to N (Neutral) while driving, the mismatch between the vehicle's speed and the transmission's speed can cause insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic supply lines inside the transmission. This increases friction within the transmission, reduces lubrication effectiveness, and ultimately damages the friction plates inside the transmission. Fuel-saving practices for automatic cars: In fact, the most fuel-efficient operation for an automatic transmission car is to coast with the D (Drive) gear engaged. Allowing the engine to keep the transmission gears rotating synchronously while coasting is the correct approach.
