Low fuel high pressure in the BMW 320i is caused by a malfunction of the high-pressure fuel pump or the pressure sensor, meaning the high pressure fails to reach the standard value. Fuel pump location: The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank, beneath the rear seats of the vehicle. Function of the fuel pump: The fuel pump draws fuel from the fuel tank, pressurizes it, and delivers it to the fuel supply line. It works in conjunction with the fuel pressure regulator to establish a certain fuel pressure. Located inside the vehicle's fuel tank, the fuel pump operates during startup and while the engine is running. If the engine stops but the ignition switch remains in the ON position, the HFM-SFI control module cuts off power to the fuel pump to prevent accidental ignition.

What are the common specifications and models of car tires?

Common specifications and models of car tires are 205/55R16, 185/65R15, and 185/65R14. The first numbers 205 and 185 represent the tire width in millimeters. The numbers 65 and 55 indicate the aspect ratio of the tire's cross-section, which is 65% and 55% respectively, meaning the height of the cross-section is 65% or 55% of the width. The numbers 14, 15, and 16 represent the rim diameter in inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. Tires also have speed rating letters, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Generally, the size of car tires varies depending on the actual configuration of the vehicle. International standard tire codes use millimeters as the unit to denote the cross-section height and aspect ratio percentage. These are followed by several components: the tire type code, rim diameter, load index (also known as the allowable load mass code), and the allowable speed code. Tires are crucial components of a car, with over 10 types of markings on them. Correctly identifying these markings is essential for selecting, using, and maintaining tires, ensuring driving safety and prolonging tire life. Typically mounted on metal rims, tires support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road, and maintain driving performance. Tires operate under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and temperature extremes. Thus, they must possess high load-bearing, traction, and cushioning capabilities, along with high wear resistance, flexibility, and low rolling resistance and heat generation. Tire specifications: Specifications are data indicating the geometric parameters and physical properties of a tire. There are three methods to denote tire specifications: A. Metric (m); B. Mixed metric and imperial; C. Imperial. Imperial tire specifications are usually represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire cross-section width, and the second number denotes the rim diameter, both in inches. Tires can be classified into approximately 8 types based on vehicle categories: PC—Passenger car tires; LT—Light truck tires; TB—Truck and bus tires; AG—Agricultural vehicle tires; OTR—Off-the-road tires; ID—Industrial vehicle tires; AC—Aircraft tires; MC—Motorcycle tires. Structurally, tires can be divided into bias-ply tires and radial tires. Modern cars predominantly use radial tires, denoted by the letter R, while bias-ply tires are denoted by D. The fundamental difference lies in the carcass: bias-ply tires have crisscrossed layers of fabric, whereas radial tires have multiple layers of polymer materials with steel belt layers on top, reducing the likelihood of punctures by foreign objects.

What are the causes of excessive water temperature in diesel engines?

The reasons that cause the engine water temperature to be too high include: 1. Insufficient coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can gradually deplete the coolant in the engine's cooling system, leading to a shortage of water in the radiator. If the owner fails to promptly inspect and replenish the coolant, it can easily result in the engine overheating. 2. Radiator leakage: Broken or improperly connected radiator hoses can cause leaks, obstructing water circulation and potentially leading to the engine "boiling over," which is indicated by white smoke. 3. Cooling fan malfunction: A damaged cooling fan or a short circuit in the wiring can prevent the fan from operating or cause it to rotate slowly, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating and naturally raising the water temperature. 4. Thermostat failure: The thermostat controls the flow path of the coolant. If it becomes stuck or fails, the engine's large and small circulation will inevitably be affected, making it impossible to effectively dissipate the engine's heat.

What is the refund policy after completing Subject 1?

As there is no unified regulation, the refund is generally processed according to the relevant notices of the traffic management bureau. If the training institution fails to arrange for the trainee to participate in Subject 2 training within 60 days, the full training fee will be refunded. If the trainee fails to participate in Subject 2 training due to personal reasons, the training fee will be refunded after deducting the costs of training materials, theoretical training, and auxiliary materials. The scope of Subject 1 examination is as follows: Subject 1 is an examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The examination content includes road traffic rules, traffic signals, handling of traffic safety violations and accidents, application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, motor vehicle registration regulations, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. The description of Subject 1 examination is as follows: Subject 1 examination is limited to 45 minutes, with 5 sessions scheduled daily. Information registration is required before entering the examination room. The examination paper consists of 100 questions, selected randomly and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Work Regulations" from a total of 1229 questions in the Subject 1 question bank.

How long does it take for a car door to rust through?

There is no fixed time for rusting through. If rust is found on the car door, it should be treated promptly to prevent the rust area from expanding. If the rust appears on the surface and the area is small, you can use water sandpaper to grind off the rust and then spray a layer of anti-rust paint. If the door is severely rusted, with large areas of paint peeling off, the rusted paint must be completely removed, followed by filling and leveling with putty. After the putty hardens, repainting is required. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Exterior inspection: Before driving, check the condition of the doors, hood, trunk, and glass, and inspect the body for damage, tilting, or any oil or water leaks. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fastening of engine components and inspect the joints for oil or coolant leaks. Adjust the tightness of the belt and check the fastening of pipes and wires. Top up engine oil, coolant, and electrolyte as needed. 3. Tires: Check tire wear and clean the trunk. Replace tires when they approach the wear indicators. Inspect tires for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or other damage. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean oil stains from the engine hood, door, and trunk hinge mechanisms, and lubricate them. The general service life of antifreeze is 2 years, after which it should be replaced during maintenance, and the cooling system should be thoroughly cleaned. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the braking system, brake fluid should be replaced every two years.

What unit is 800 in truck length?

Truck length is 800 centimeters. More truck specifications are as follows: 1. Overall dimensions: The overall dimensions of a truck refer to the total length (S), total width (B), and total height (H). Various countries have legal restrictions on the overall dimensions of road transport vehicles to ensure they comply with national standards for highways, bridges, tunnels, and railway transport. In China, the legal limits for road freight vehicles are: total height not exceeding 4m, total width (excluding rearview mirrors) not exceeding 2.5m, the combined lateral dimensions of protruding parts like left and right rearview mirrors not exceeding 250mm, and total length of freight vehicles not exceeding 12m. 2. Wheelbase: Wheelbase refers to the distance between axles. For a two-axle truck, the wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles; for a three-axle truck, it is the average value (L) of the distance between the front and middle axles and the distance between the front and rear axles. A shorter wheelbase results in a shorter total truck length, reduced mass, smaller minimum turning radius and longitudinal passing radius, and improved maneuverability. However, an excessively short wheelbase can lead to insufficient cargo space or excessive rear overhang, causing significant longitudinal vibrations during driving, excessive axle load transfer during acceleration, braking, or uphill driving, which deteriorates braking performance and handling stability, as well as excessive universal joint transmission angles.

Are there speed requirements for Subject 3?

Subject 3 speed requirements are as follows: start in 1st gear, apply slight throttle, then shift to 2nd gear regardless of speed (some regulations require shifting to 2nd gear within 8 seconds, and Subject 3 requires driving in 2nd gear throughout). During gear shifting operations, when the speed reaches 20-25 km/h, shift to 3rd gear, and when it exceeds 30 km/h, shift to 4th gear. The specific test requirements for Subject 3 are as follows: 1. Preparation before starting: Walk around the car counterclockwise and press the 4 corner buttons, listening for announcements inside. 2. Car starting preparation: Adjust the seat, fasten the seatbelt, check the dashboard for seatbelt and door lights to ensure they are off. Turn on the left turn signal, honk the horn, shift to 1st gear, check the left and right rearview mirrors, release the handbrake, and start the car. 3. Pulling over: After starting, immediately turn off the turn signal and begin aligning. After the instruction, turn on the right turn signal for 3 seconds before stopping, shift to neutral, apply the handbrake, and turn off the turn signal. If the distance between the car body and the side line is more than 30 cm, 10 points will be deducted; if it is more than 50 cm or less than 10 cm, it will be considered a failure.
