For car owners who frequently drive on muddy, gravel, or other complex road conditions, an engine under guard can prevent mud, water, and debris from entering the engine, keeping it clean and reducing corrosion from rain and snow. More importantly, it can prevent scratches and impacts to the chassis, extending the engine's lifespan. Especially when driving at night with poor visibility, hitting speed bumps or uneven roads can easily damage the engine or oil pan. If you live in a city with little rain, installing an under guard is optional, as it makes little difference. However, if you frequently encounter rough roads or heavy rainfall, it is recommended to install one.

What Causes Jerking in Automatic Transmissions?

Automatic transmission jerking is caused by: excessively high transmission fluid temperature leading to stubborn dirt and impurities inside the transmission, which form blockages in the valve body. This obstructs smooth solenoid valve movement, preventing proper oil pressure regulation and resulting in jerking, impact, and slippage faults. More details are as follows: 1. Lack of power during acceleration, noticeable vehicle surging and jerking at low or medium speeds, accompanied by fluctuating RPM needle on the dashboard; during medium-high speed driving when abruptly pressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slips with rapid RPM needle rise and distinct impact sensation. 2. Significant impact sensation when shifting from P to R or D gear, with gear clashing. Abnormal noises or even loud noises from the transmission during idling, driving, or high-load operation, accompanied by irregular, dull sounds during gear shifts. The root cause: prolonged high temperatures degrade transmission fluid's anti-wear and lubricating properties, causing wear or severe wear on transmission bearings, gears, or damage to gear side surfaces. 3. Computer displays "transmission overheating" warning during driving; or perceived excessive transmission heat after driving, even becoming too hot to touch. Cause: inability to effectively control temperature during high-load operation. If temperature rises further, the transmission begins slipping, which in turn causes even higher temperature increases.

What are the causes of spontaneous car glass breakage?

The causes of spontaneous car glass breakage are as follows: 1. Poor tempering treatment of the glass itself, which strictly speaking indicates a quality issue with the glass. 2. Additionally, during window tinting, if the glass is not heated evenly and a hairdryer is used to shape the film, localized heating can cause thermal expansion stress deformation, leading to glass breakage. This situation arises because many tinting practitioners in the current market lack proper qualifications and do not fully understand the underlying physical phenomena. 3. When there is excessive temperature variation in the window film, stress deformation can also occur, causing the glass to break. This scenario highlights the film quality issues that manufacturers often emphasize. Although these three situations are the main causes of spontaneous glass breakage and the phenomena are clear, window tinting is a complex automotive decoration process, and sometimes even applying the film twice can result in breakage. Precautions for car window tinting: 1. Always use high-quality film and choose a 4S shop for installation, so you can claim compensation if any issues arise. 2. If you opt for an external shop, it's best to supervise the process and instruct the workers to avoid using hairdryers and not to scrape the rear window too dry. 3. On rainy days or in the morning, if you notice fog or condensation on the rear window, avoid wiping it with a hot towel, as this can also cause breakage. The correct approach is to turn on the defroster or use the rear wiper.

Where is the diagnostic connector of Chery A1?

The diagnostic interface of Chery A1 is located under the hood. Here is the relevant introduction: Brand introduction: During an inspection of the European automobile industry in January 1995, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. learned that a Ford engine production line in the UK was for sale. Leaders from Wuhu, Anhui, seized this opportunity to initiate the project. Due to national policy restrictions on car projects, it had to be carried out secretly. Therefore, the project was internally code-named "Project 951" (the top project in Anhui during the Ninth Five-Year Plan) and publicly referred to as "Anhui Automobile Parts Industry Company (Preparatory Office)", maintaining a low profile externally.
