2013 Magotan timing chain typically requires replacement every 150,000 kilometers. Additional details are as follows: 1. Lubrication: The timing chain relies on engine oil for lubrication. If the engine oil is not changed for an extended period or is of poor quality, it can accelerate wear and reduce the timing chain's lifespan. However, even when the timing chain reaches the end of its service life, it will not break immediately. 2. Inspection: Some vehicles can use computer diagnostics to determine if replacement is necessary. If the inspection exceeds the maximum threshold, timely replacement is required even if there are no apparent abnormalities, as the risk of tooth jumping and valve collision is significantly increased.

How to Turn on the High Beam of the Vezel?

The method to turn on the high beam of the Vezel is: the horizontal lever on the left side of the steering wheel can be twisted. There are two gears in total for the button at the front end of the lever. Twisting it twice turns on the low beam, and lifting the lever upward while in the low beam state activates the high beam. Generally, it is not recommended to use the high beam when driving in the city because urban areas usually have good lighting conditions. The high beam angle is too high and can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, affecting their vision and posing safety risks. The dimensions of the Vezel are 4328mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. The front track is 1535mm, and the rear track is 1540mm. The car is equipped with an engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 131Ps, a maximum power of 96kW, and a maximum torque of 155Nm.

What is the warranty period for the original car headlights?

The warranty period for the original car headlights is two years. During the warranty period, quality issues can be replaced free of charge. Precautions for using car headlights: On roads without central separation facilities or center lines, when meeting another vehicle at night, you should switch to low beams when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away. When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges, low beams should be used. When driving closely behind another vehicle in the same direction, high beams should not be used. Car light maintenance and inspection items: Check whether the front running lights, low beams, high beams, front fog lights, turn signals, and hazard lights are functioning properly. Check the rear running lights, license plate lights, rear fog lights, brake lights, reverse lights, rear turn signals, rear hazard lights, and trunk lights; check whether the dashboard indicator lights, interior lights, air conditioning, radio, cigarette lighter, and door window lift indicator lights are functioning properly; check whether the headlight beams are normal and adjust them if necessary.

How Often Should Shell Helix Ultra Synthetic Oil Be Changed?

Generally speaking, when driving in most cities across China, Shell fully synthetic oil can be changed every 10,000-12,000 kilometers or once a year. If driving frequently in urban areas with constant stop-and-go traffic, maintenance should be performed within approximately 8,000 kilometers. However, these are just reference figures, and the actual situation should be taken into consideration. Not changing oil damages the engine: If oil is not changed for a long time, once it deteriorates and its performance declines, the lubrication properties of the bearings and the lubrication and cooling functions of mechanical transmission components will be lost, thereby damaging the engine. Reduces engine lifespan: During use, oil minimizes friction between gears and cleans small debris generated by friction. At the same time, oil in contact with air will also undergo oxidation. If oil is not changed for a long time, its lubrication effectiveness will decrease, and small debris inside the engine cannot be flushed out with the oil discharge. This can lead to scoring on the friction surfaces inside the engine, affecting its power output and significantly reducing its service life.

What is the fuel consumption of the new BYD Tang fuel version?

According to the comprehensive fuel consumption data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new BYD Tang fuel version has a combined fuel consumption of 8.8L/100km. However, based on the actual test data from some owners of the new BYD Tang fuel version, the real fuel consumption generally ranges from 10 to 12L/100km. Actual fuel consumption is influenced by many factors and needs to be considered comprehensively from various aspects. Below is the method to calculate fuel consumption: Calculate fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed. 1. Record the mileage: Fill up the car's fuel tank until the pump stops automatically, and record the current mileage. 2. Record the fuel refill amount: The next time you refuel, fill up until the pump stops automatically again, and record the amount of fuel added. 3. Calculate using the formula: Calculate the distance traveled since the last refill, and then use the relationship between distance and speed to determine the fuel consumption.

Can a car pass the annual inspection with the engine malfunction indicator light on?

Annual inspection is to check whether the car is qualified, and during the annual inspection, if any malfunction indicator light is on, the car cannot pass the inspection. These malfunction indicator lights include: engine malfunction indicator light (constantly on), brake system malfunction indicator light (constantly on), airbag indicator light (constantly on), electric power steering malfunction indicator light (on), etc. Therefore, before the annual inspection, you should check in advance, and if there are any problems, they need to be repaired in time. The purpose of annual inspection: The purpose of annual inspection is to determine the technical condition and working ability of the car, identify the location and cause of malfunctions. Only by passing the annual inspection can it provide a basis for the continued operation or maintenance of the car. Notes for annual inspection: Do not change the appearance of the vehicle or the size of the tires. The actual car must match the photo on the driving license. If the appearance of the car has changed, it may also fail the annual inspection.
