It is recommended to replace the engine water pump thermostat if it's leaking. The thermostat leaks due to reasons such as coolant leakage and engine overheating. The details are as follows: Coolant Leakage: The installation position of the thermostat is at the connection point of two circulation system pipelines. The water channel has an interface here, which poses a risk. Although the thermostat is equipped with seals, coolant leakage can still occur. Engine Overheating: When the thermostat is stuck in the position that closes the large circulation, even if the coolant temperature can soften the paraffin, the large circulation still cannot be opened. In this case, the coolant itself cannot dissipate heat, which will quickly lead to engine overheating. Automotive Thermostat: It is a valve that controls the flow path of the engine coolant. This product automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within a suitable temperature range, which can save energy and reduce consumption. This is because the engine consumes more fuel at low temperatures and causes greater damage to the vehicle, including the easy formation of carbon deposits and a series of related problems.

Where is the oil pump installed?

The oil pump is installed inside the engine, within the oil pan. Symptoms of a faulty oil pump include: 1. Weak acceleration with jerking during sudden acceleration; 2. Difficulty starting, requiring prolonged key turning; 3. A humming noise while driving; 4. Illuminated engine warning light; 5. Engine vibration. The functions of the oil pump are: 1. To deliver oil to various friction points in the engine, ensuring oil circulation in the lubrication system for optimal engine lubrication; 2. The oil pump consists of a gear pump and gear pump body, where the camshaft drives the rotation of the pump's driving gear during engine operation; 3. The gear flings oil along the pump's inner wall from the inlet to the outlet, creating low pressure and suction that draws oil from the oil tank into the inlet; 4. As oil accumulates at the outlet, pressure increases, forcing oil to reach all friction points for pressurized lubrication.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 430-horsepower Weichai engine?

430-horsepower Weichai engine consumes approximately 30 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration and gradually accelerate from a start for the most fuel efficiency. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal too hard when starting, as heavy acceleration can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal acceleration. 2. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking can save even more fuel. If you don't maintain a safe distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission vehicle will drop, and the vehicle will have to shift back up from a lower gear. Starting from a stop or in a low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
