Causes of engine overheating include the following points: 1. Fan issues: The fan motor is not working or the fan clutch is faulty, preventing proper cooling and leading to engine overheating. 2. Exhaust: A blocked catalytic converter or a broken pipe causes exhaust obstruction, resulting in engine overheating. Additionally, a mismatch between the updated thermostat and the original temperature coefficient can be a fault cause. 3. Thermostat blockage: The thermostat cannot open or close properly, usually due to mechanical failure or incomplete filling of the cooling system. A mismatch between the updated thermostat and the original temperature coefficient can also cause faults. 4. Coolant leakage: If there is a crack in the cooling system pipes, coolant loss occurs, and heat dissipation cannot function properly. 5. Water pump: After prolonged use, a highly worn water pump may have parts that are worn out or detached. 6. Radiator cap: If the radiator cap pressure is uneven, it can cause the spring to loosen, preventing the cap from sealing tightly.

Is it okay not to repair bubbling car paint?

Bubbling car paint should not be ignored. Here are the details: 1. Impact: Bubbling affects aesthetics. If left untreated, the topcoat may crack over time, allowing rainwater to seep in, causing internal metal rust and expanding the damaged area, ultimately harming the car body. Therefore, once bubbling is noticed, it should be repaired by professionals at a specialized repair shop or 4S store. If the bubbling area is large, repainting may be necessary. 2. Cause: It might be due to internal rust under the paint, but the primary reason is often moisture trapped beneath the paint surface before it fully dries, followed by hasty painting. The topcoat layer has strong sealing properties, especially with two-component paints that fully react. If moisture is trapped within the paint film, it cannot easily evaporate. Under high temperatures, the underlying moisture expands, causing localized pressure on the topcoat film and resulting in bubbling.

What are the symptoms of poor fuel quality?

Symptoms of poor fuel quality include: noticeably reduced vehicle power, more severely unstable idling, or even unexpected stalling; increased and rapid fuel consumption; long-term use can lead to carbon deposits and fuel residue, affecting the engine and fuel injectors. Below are related introductions: 1. Octane number: Gasoline grades are determined based on the octane number. The higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance. 2. Leaded gasoline: Gasoline containing lead components can cause oxygen sensor poisoning, clog the exhaust pipe and three-way catalytic converter, and reduce engine power. After using leaded gasoline, the spark plug insulator usually appears white or yellow. 3. Gum content: Gum content indicates the stability of gasoline. Excessive gum content can lead to deposits in the intake system or sticking of the intake valve. Generally, the unwashed gum content in gasoline before adding detergent should be below 30mg/100ml.

Can National V Vehicles Not Be Transferred?

National V vehicles can be transferred. Here are the relevant details: 1. Normal transfer is possible: After the implementation of the National VI emission standards, there is no impact on the transfer of local National V second-hand vehicles. That is, for regions where the National VI emission standards have already been implemented, second-hand vehicles that do not meet the National VI emission standards can still be transferred normally. 2. Two-phase standards: The National VI standards will be divided into two phases: National VI a and National VI b. The National VI a standard will be implemented nationwide starting from July 1, 2020, while the National VI b standard will replace the a standard starting from July 1, 2023. The Pearl River Delta region is expected to implement the National VI standards ahead of schedule, and Guangzhou has already decided to skip National VI a and directly implement the National VI b standard starting from July 1 this year.
