Prolonged idling of a vehicle in place will not cause fatal damage to the vehicle, but it will consume a large amount of fuel and also lead to carbon buildup in the engine. Hazards of prolonged idling: During idling, the oil pressure is relatively low, affecting the lubrication effect of the oil on the engine and accelerating the wear of internal engine components; idling can cause incomplete fuel combustion, making it easier for carbon deposits to form on the throttle valve; when the coolant temperature drops below 60 degrees Celsius, combustion byproducts in the cylinders may react chemically with the moisture in the coolant, forming acidic substances that accelerate cylinder corrosion. How to handle prolonged idling: If the car has been idling in place for seven or eight hours without being turned off, it should be shut down as soon as possible. The vehicle consumes fuel even when idling, so first check whether there is enough fuel left in the car. If the fuel level is low, it should be refueled promptly. Next, check if the water temperature is too high, as the engine's cooling capacity decreases when idling in place. If the water temperature is too high, the engine should be turned off immediately to allow it to cool down.

Where is the oil filter of Tiggo 8 located?

Tiggo 8's oil filter is located beneath the engine, in front of the oil pump. Below is relevant information about the oil filter: 1. The oil filter is used to remove impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot particles from the engine oil to protect the engine. 2. The oil filter not only filters but also ensures the quality of the engine oil. 3. For example, viscosity, acid value, antioxidant content, etc. These indicators can deteriorate under long-term high-temperature operating conditions, so it is necessary to change the engine oil regularly to ensure these indicators remain within acceptable limits. 4. If the engine oil bypasses the oil filter and directly enters the lubrication circuit, it will carry impurities contained in the oil into the friction surfaces of moving parts, accelerating wear and reducing the engine's service life.

Must the steering gear be replaced if it's leaking oil?

Steering gear oil leakage requires replacing the seals or the entire steering gear assembly. The automotive steering gear is part of the steering linkage mechanism. Also known as a steering box or steering mechanism, it is the most crucial component in a vehicle's steering system. Its functions are to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to change the direction of force transmission. Below are the classifications of steering gears: 1. Rack and pinion steering gear: This is the most common type, with its basic structure consisting of a pair of meshing pinion and rack; 2. Worm and sector steering gear: This type uses a worm as the driving component and a sector gear as the driven component; 3. Recirculating-ball steering gear: The recirculating-ball power steering system mainly consists of two parts: mechanical components and hydraulic components.
