Car air conditioner not blowing cold air may be caused by: 1. Insufficient refrigerant; 2. Damaged air conditioner flap; 3. Dirty condenser; 4. Faulty air conditioner compressor, throttle valve or expansion valve. Functions of car air conditioning: 1. Achieves cooling effect through continuous phase change cycle of refrigerant; 2. Removes dust, odors, smoke and toxic gases from the car interior to freshen the air, and humidifies the cabin air to increase relative humidity; 3. Uses engine coolant, waste heat or heat generated by burner combustion as heat source, which is then heated by the heater and blown into the cabin by the blower to raise outlet air temperature for heating purposes; 4. Draws in fresh outside air for ventilation and air exchange, also effectively preventing windshield fogging.

What are the symptoms of a bad wheel bearing?

If a wheel bearing is damaged, there will be significant noise while driving, and it will generate excessive heat, becoming hot to the touch. The reasons include: 1. Improper assembly or adjustment—all bearing products have specified clearance requirements, but excessive tightness is often overlooked; 2. Poor lubrication—if only a thin layer of grease is manually applied to the bearing surface, dry friction between the rollers and raceway may occur after 3,000 to 5,000 km of driving, leading to bearing seizure; 3. Quality issues with the bearing itself—bearings are complex assemblies, and their lifespan is affected by factors such as material selection for components, heat treatment specifications, precision in cold processing, assembly adjustments, etc. While a shorter lifespan for a small number of bearings is understandable, some manufacturers fail to meet technical standards due to poor management, resulting in substandard products being released.

Do Shock Absorbers Need to Be Replaced Together with Springs?

Shock absorbers do not need to be replaced together with springs. Replacing shock absorbers does not necessarily mean replacing the springs, as they are two different components. Therefore, when there is an issue with the shock absorbers, the springs do not need to be replaced at the same time. Additionally, springs are essentially maintenance-free for the lifetime of the vehicle, whereas shock absorbers are wear-and-tear items that typically require replacement every 100,000 kilometers or less. Springs should be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. If visible cracks are found on the springs, they should be replaced promptly. During driving, it is difficult to predict what might happen to the shock absorbers, and if hard objects get lodged in them, it could pose a safety hazard. 2. Springs may also deform over time, as they are constantly in use while driving. Although automotive springs are generally of high quality, it is still advisable to exercise caution.

Pressing it briefly allows you to cycle through preset stations [1-6], staying on each for 5 seconds. 4. VOL: Abbreviation for the English word 'volume', which refers to sound level. The plus and minus signs, VOL-/VOL+, correspond to volume control buttons, allowing you to adjust the car audio's volume level.

Where is the car engine air intake located?

Different models have different air intake locations. Some are in front of the engine, while others are at the rear. The position and shape may vary between vehicles, but one common feature is that they are generally located in the engine compartment. When you open the hood, the position of the air filter indicates the location of the car's air intake. The air filter is installed between the intake port and the throttle port, typically shaped as a rectangular plastic housing. Below are the functions of the air filter: 1. Filtering impurities from the air: Ensures the engine operates normally. During engine operation, impurities such as dust and metal shavings can continuously mix into the cylinders. If these accumulate, they can obstruct airflow in the engine, leading to increased fuel consumption over time. 2. Preventing haze from entering the air conditioning system: Without proper car maintenance, moisture and dust can accumulate on the filter, promoting bacterial growth. When the air conditioning is turned on, this not only affects air intake but also contaminates the blower and ducts, causing a series of problems.

What is a Driver's License File Number?

Driver's license file number is a unique number generated by the traffic police department to identify and distinguish your driver's license, which is equivalent to the ID card of the vehicle owner. A person may have two driver's licenses with the same license number, but the file number is unique and will not be duplicated. The driver's license file number is located on the duplicate copy of the driver's license, usually on the right side of the third line at the top of the duplicate page. Additional information: 1. Driving school registration time: It takes about half an hour to complete the registration process for a motor vehicle driver's license at a driving school. After registration, wait for the driving school's notification for a medical examination. Once the medical examination is completed, participate in the study of Subject 1 of the motor vehicle driver's license. After meeting the required study hours, take the exam. Other subjects should also be completed in this order. There is no need to repeat the medical examination within six months. 2. Time to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license: Under normal circumstances, it takes about 45 days to obtain a motor vehicle driver's license, with the maximum time not exceeding three years. This period starts after the completion of the Subject 1 exam. Once the time limit is exceeded, the qualification for the driver's license exam will be canceled, and no further exams can be taken.
