BMW 525 air conditioning not cooling reasons are as follows: 1. Insufficient or too little air conditioning refrigerant: Simply go to a repair station to add refrigerant to solve the problem. 2. Damage to the car's compressor: It is recommended to go to a professional repair shop for inspection. Damage or poor performance of the car compressor capacitor will cause the compressor not to work, leading to poor performance of the car air conditioning. 3. Under normal circumstances: The car's cooling system should be cleaned and maintained once when changing seasons between winter and summer, and cleaned and maintained every 6 to 8 months during normal driving. This helps to remove traces and scale that cause engine overheating, effectively prevent harmful corrosion, avoid leakage of seals and the radiator, and completely replace the old coolant.

My previous BMW 525 had experienced AC not cooling properly, likely due to insufficient refrigerant from leaks. After all, the older model's pipelines are prone to aging and refrigerant leakage. If the compressor fails, the entire system would be paralyzed, and slow fan speed would further affect heat dissipation. The worst fear is blown circuit fuses, which can be easily checked and replaced. Or if the condenser gets clogged with dust, poor heat dissipation leads to ineffective cooling/heating. I make it a habit to regularly clean the filter to prevent clogging and avoid weak airflow. It's advisable to have a professional shop conduct a comprehensive inspection rather than randomly adding refrigerant yourself, which could potentially damage system components.

Why won't a manual transmission car start despite having electricity and fuel?

Reasons and solutions for a manual transmission car not starting despite having electricity and fuel: Replace fuel: Intake system malfunction requires fuel replacement and throttle body cleaning. Clean carbon deposits: Remove carbon buildup from relevant components and reprogram ECU data. Send for repair: Insufficient battery power may also trigger the EPC warning light - generally recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection and maintenance. Check fuel level: When fuel is insufficient, the EPC light will illuminate and the vehicle cannot be started at this time. Check gear position: When the gear is in incorrect position, the car won't start and the EPC light remains on - simply return the gear to correct position to resolve the issue.

What to Prepare for the Subject 2 Driving Test?

Materials to prepare for the Subject 2 driving test include: ID card, admission ticket, mobile phone, wallet, and seat cushion. Before the test, check if all items are brought along, as omissions may affect the test. If the candidate has a height advantage, the seat cushion can be optional. The Subject 2 test for car licenses C1 and C2 includes five items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (S-curve). Some regions may have a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. The Subject 2 test can be retaken up to five times. If the fifth attempt is still unsuccessful, the results of other passed subjects will be invalidated, and the candidate must restart from Subject 1. Each Subject 2 test appointment provides two attempts. If the first attempt fails, a free retake is allowed. If the retake is not taken or still fails, the test ends, and a new Subject 2 test can be scheduled after ten days.

What does vehicle preservation mean?

Vehicle preservation refers to vehicles that are prohibited by the court from handling registration, modification, transfer, mortgage release, cancellation, or pledge release due to reasons such as economic debt disputes. Vehicle seizure: When suspecting that the party at fault for an accident lacks the ability to compensate, one can apply to the court for vehicle property preservation. Generally, this is a 'live seizure,' which means locking the vehicle's information, making the vehicle untransferable under such circumstances. There is also a 'dead seizure,' where the court not only locks the vehicle's information but also impounds the vehicle. After the judgment is concluded, if the party at fault is unable to compensate, one can apply to sell the preserved vehicle. Relevant legal knowledge about vehicle preservation: According to Order No. 124 of the Ministry of Public Security, it clearly stipulates the operations prohibited during the court's seizure period, namely, registration, modification, transfer, mortgage release, cancellation, or pledge release are prohibited during the seizure period; however, annual inspections, temporary license plates, and replacement of license certificates are not prohibited.
