The normal high pressure for a car air conditioner is between 15 to 18 bar, and the low pressure is between 1.0 to 2.5 bar. Solutions for excessively high pressure in the car air conditioner include: 1. Clean the dust and dirt from the air vents and the interior of the cabin; 2. Regularly check the refrigerant level in the air conditioning system to ensure it is normal; 3. Inspect the compressor belt for proper condition; 4. Check if the refrigerant level is sufficient and replenish it in time. Solutions for excessively low pressure in the car air conditioner include: 1. Refill the air conditioning refrigerant according to the manufacturer's standards; 2. Inspect and repair any leaks in the air conditioning system, replacing any leaking components.

I worked in the auto repair shop for many years and encountered numerous common issues with car air conditioning pressure values. The low-pressure side typically ranges between 15 to 30 psi, while the high-pressure side is around 150 to 250 psi, depending on the vehicle model and ambient temperature. For example, during hot summers, the high pressure might be slightly higher, around 250 psi; in colder winters, the low pressure may drop to around 20 psi. During inspections, a professional pressure gauge must be connected to the air conditioning system's ports. If the low pressure is too low (below 15 psi), it could indicate refrigerant leakage. If the high pressure exceeds 250 psi, it might suggest a clogged condenser or fan issue, which could lead to overheating risks. I recommend that car owners avoid DIY fixes and instead visit a professional shop for testing—safe and hassle-free. Regular air conditioning maintenance can extend its lifespan and prevent breakdown troubles on the road.

How to Proceed with Parking Space Transaction if the Invoice is Lost?

If you intend to transfer the usage rights of a parking space, the original lease invoice must be provided during the transfer process. In case the invoice is lost, you can request a reissue from the developer by presenting relevant supporting documents. Below is an introduction to invoices: 1. Invoice: An invoice refers to a business document issued and received by all entities and individuals in the purchase and sale of goods, provision or receipt of services, and other business activities. It serves as the original basis for accounting and is also a crucial document for audit authorities and tax authorities during law enforcement inspections. A receipt, on the other hand, is proof of payment, while an invoice only confirms the occurrence of a transaction, not whether payment has been made. 2. Invoice Classification: Ordinary Invoice: Primarily used by business tax payers and small-scale VAT taxpayers, it can also be used by general VAT taxpayers when they are unable to issue special invoices. VAT Special Invoice: A product of China's new tax system, it is specifically designed by the national tax authorities for the needs of VAT collection and management, exclusively for taxpayers selling or providing VAT taxable items.

What Causes Water Leakage into Car Doors on Rainy Days?

Water leakage into car doors on rainy days is usually caused by two reasons: one is water entering while the vehicle is in motion, and the other is water entering while the vehicle is parked. There are gaps on the car body and doors, so it is inevitable for rainwater to seep into the doors during rainy days, leading to water leakage. Relevant information about car doors is as follows: 1. Introduction: A car door provides access for drivers and passengers to enter and exit the vehicle, isolates external interference, reduces side impacts to a certain extent, and protects occupants. The aesthetics of a car are also related to the design of its doors. 2. Standards for Good Car Doors: The quality of car doors is mainly reflected in their anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and of course, other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because during a side collision, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy to injure occupants inside the vehicle.

What does a car ESC system malfunction mean?

When the ESC warning light illuminates, possible causes include: 1. Faulty sensors in the ESC system, such as the yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor. 2. Issues with the system's wiring, including short circuits or open circuits. 3. Malfunction of the control unit itself. Below is relevant information about the ESC system: 1. Definition: The ESC system is the Electronic Stability Control system, a new active safety system for vehicles. It primarily includes the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS), and additionally incorporates a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor when the vehicle is turning. 2. Function: The system ensures lateral stability by detecting understeer or oversteer through signals from the steering angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and wheel speed sensors. It then controls one or more wheels to apply braking, adjusting the vehicle's body posture during lane changes or cornering, making the car more stable and safe when changing lanes or navigating curves.

What Causes the Rear Air Conditioning to Stop Blowing Air?

Here are the specific reasons why the rear air conditioning may not be blowing air: 1. Valve malfunction leading to poor opening: When the plastic components of the air outlet valve age or screws come loose, preventing normal opening and closing, it can affect the airflow. You can gently pry open the valve with a tool. 2. Damaged ducts: The air ducts of car air conditioners are made of plastic and can age, crack, or wear due to interference with other components over time. Once the ducts are damaged, air will leak from the damaged areas. It is advisable to visit a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection and replacement. 3. Clogged pipes or air filter: Prolonged use of the car can lead to the accumulation of debris such as leaves, lint, and dust inside the engine, which can block the pipes and reduce the airflow efficiency of the air vents. If the air filter is not replaced for a long time, it can also decrease the airflow efficiency. In such cases, you can disassemble the pipes to clean out the debris and regularly check the condition of the air filter.

What to Do If a Mouse Gets into the Car?

If a mouse gets into the car, you need to close the car door, find the mouse, and remove it from the car. Afterward, make sure to close all windows and doors properly, not only to prevent mice but also to avoid theft of items inside the car. Below are some precautions to prevent car theft: 1. Enhance anti-theft awareness: Develop good habits, such as turning off the engine, locking the car, removing the key, and closing all windows and the sunroof when leaving the car. Never leave the key in the ignition. 2. Avoid parking randomly: When parking in public places, always park in a supervised parking lot. Choose a parking spot carefully, avoiding areas with few people or poor lighting. It's best to park with the front of the car facing the road. 3. Install car anti-theft devices: These include various types of anti-theft locks and alarms. Anti-theft locks include steering wheel locks, clutch locks, brake pedal locks, and wheel locks. Car alarms act as guardians for your vehicle by connecting to the car's electrical system, helping to prevent theft, intrusion, and damage while providing various security functions.

What are the national regulations on the light transmittance of car window films?

China's traffic regulations do not specify standards for car window films. The relevant regulations on car window film standards are stipulated in the "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation" (GB7258-2004): The driver's cab must ensure the driver's forward and side vision. The visible light transmittance of the front windshield and the glass areas outside the windshield used for the driver's viewing area must not be less than 70%. Mirror-like reflective sunshade films are not allowed on any car window glass. Car windows can be opened 7 days after applying the film, but the car should not be washed, as this may cause the film to peel off. Car window film refers to the film applied to the surface of car glass, and its functions include: 1. Blocking solar heat and glare; 2. Reducing the load on the car's air conditioning system, improving fuel efficiency, and enhancing driving comfort; 3. Blocking ultraviolet rays to protect the skin of passengers from UV burns and slow down the fading, aging, and cracking of interior materials; 4. Increasing driving safety by keeping glass fragments in place in case of breakage, preventing injuries; 5. Creating a private space to prevent others from peering in.
