If the PVC valve is damaged, it can cause poor ventilation in the crankcase, leading to high pressure. This high pressure can reduce the sealing between the cylinder walls and pistons. During the intake stroke, this high pressure is compressed into even higher pressure, forcing some engine oil from the cylinder walls through the tiny gaps between the cylinder walls and pistons into the combustion chamber, where it participates in combustion. Additional details are as follows: 1. Introduction: PCV stands for the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system. The PCV valve consists of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring, and is non-disassemblable. 2. Components: The PCV system mainly includes ventilation hoses and the PCV valve. Typically, one ventilation hose connects the air cleaner to the valve cover, while another connects the PCV valve to the intake manifold. The PCV valve consists of a plunger-type valve and spring, located on one side of the intake manifold. The vacuum level in the intake manifold determines the opening and closing of the PCV valve, as well as the extent of its opening. The degree to which the PCV valve opens or closes, in turn, determines the amount of blow-by gases that are recirculated into the intake manifold for combustion.

If it is often used for high-speed driving, ordinary engine oil is sufficient. If it is frequently used in urban areas with stop-and-go traffic, synthetic engine oil is recommended. The following is relevant information about the Sylphy: 1. Exterior: The Sylphy's front face uses more curved surfaces to create an elegant shape. The U-shaped chrome trim on the front face, combined with the boomerang-style headlights on both sides, represents Nissan's latest design language. 2.

Why is the air volume of BMW 740 air conditioner small?

BMW 740 air conditioner has small air volume for the following reasons: Wrong selection of car air conditioner wind direction: Whether the selection of car air conditioner wind direction is wrong, if the wind direction is selected to blow to the front windshield or the windows on both sides, you will feel that the wind blowing into the car is very small. Blower failure: Blower failure will lead to small air outlet of the air conditioner. If the blower has a short circuit or the power drops, the air volume sent by the car air conditioner will naturally become smaller. If it is a problem with the blower, the owner cannot handle it by himself, and it is recommended to leave it to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for inspection. The air conditioner filter is too dirty: The air conditioner filter is too dirty will cause the air outlet of the air conditioner to be blocked.

Should I Drive in ECO Mode Normally?

In congested urban traffic conditions, activating ECO mode yields the best results, while it is unnecessary during high-speed driving. In stop-and-go city traffic where strong power output is not required and fuel consumption tends to be higher, enabling ECO mode not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances driving comfort. Scenarios where ECO mode is unnecessary: There are a few situations where activating ECO mode is not required: 1. When the vehicle is traveling at high speeds (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is turned on, the onboard computer will prioritize maintaining speed, causing the ECO mode to deactivate automatically. 2. When high torque output is needed, such as when climbing hills, the engine control unit will prioritize delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will deactivate automatically. Location of the ECO button: The ECO button is typically located on the left side of the vehicle. It is marked with the letters "ECO", and on some models, the button is green, making it easily identifiable.
