What do the 7 fault codes for diesel heater indicate?

The explanations for the 7 fault codes of the diesel heater are as follows: Diesel engine fails to start or has difficulty starting: Generally, such fault phenomena occur when there is an issue with the rail pressure sensor. Insufficient engine power: This fault typically manifests as a maximum speed of only 1500/1600/1700 RPM, mainly due to substandard fuel quality or excessive water content in the fuel, causing rust inside the fuel pump and leading to this issue. Engine stuck at 1000 RPM: This is usually caused by a faulty throttle pedal. Limp-home mode: Fuel quality issues result in the engine's maximum speed being limited to 1500 RPM.

Can a modified air suspension run at 120 km/h?

Yes. Additional information: 1. Working principle of air suspension: The height of the vehicle is adjusted by controlling air pressure, which includes components such as elastic rubber airbag shock absorbers, air pressure control system, trunk air storage tank, and electronic control system. 2. HellaFlush style: In HellaFlush modified cars, apart from paying great attention to parameters like wheel J-value, ET-value, and Camber, another crucial aspect is lowering the vehicle body. Many people opt for coilover suspension directly, as it not only reduces the vehicle height but also provides sufficient support for the vehicle. 3. Control remote: Installing an air suspension typically involves connecting a control remote inside the vehicle, which can be set to several preset positions. This allows for quick switching between multiple heights, enabling the car to "slam" to the ground when parked and rise to normal driving height during regular operation.

What to Do When the Car Trunk is Frozen and Won't Open?

If the trunk is frozen and won't open, there may be the following four issues: 1. Problem with the linkage rod or lock cylinder. 2. Frozen or stuck. 3. Not unlocked. 4. The trunk itself has a problem. Solutions: 1. Press the trunk opening button on the car key directly, or press the trunk opening button on the remote key twice. 2. Open the trunk from inside the car by pressing and holding the button on the lower left side of the driver's side dashboard. 3. Use a hot towel to slowly thaw the frozen trunk. 4. The manual trunk opening switch is located next to the rear license plate light; press it and lift the trunk by hand.

Is Minor Oil Leakage from the Oil Cap Normal?

Engine oil leakage from the oil filler cap is generally not a normal condition. The main reasons include: 1. Damage or aging of the sealing ring inside the oil filler cap, improper installation, or missing/broken baffle inside the valve cover. 2. Overfilling of engine oil or excessive pressure inside the crankcase. Consequences of an improperly closed oil cap: If the oil cap is not tightened properly, it may lead to excessive oil consumption. During normal operation, the engine reaches very high temperatures, causing some oil to vaporize. If the oil cap is loose, oil vapor can escape through the cap. Additionally, during engine operation, some gases may pass through the piston rings into the crankcase, increasing crankcase pressure and making it difficult for the pistons to move downward.

What is the function of a torsion bar?

Its function is to reduce vehicle roll during turns and improve ride comfort. 1. Concept: The torsion bar utilizes the reaction force generated when the rod is stressed to maintain similar heights on the left and right sides of the vehicle, preventing tilting. 2. Principle: The hardness of the torsion bar is determined by the material used in its construction, the rod body, rod diameter, length of the rod arm, and the angle formed with the rod body. The longer the rod body, the softer the hardness, whereas a longer rod arm increases its hardness. The anti-roll resistance at the front of the vehicle occurs in conjunction with that at the rear, but due to factors such as the vehicle's weight distribution and other external forces, the front and rear anti-roll resistances may not be balanced.
