The reasons for the lack of cooling in the new Mondeo's air conditioning: 1. The car is not started, so the cooling and heating functions of the air conditioning system cannot be used, only the air supply function is available. Simply start the car and then turn on the air conditioning; 2. If the engine belt slips, power cannot be transmitted to the air conditioning compressor, limiting its cooling and heating functions. A new engine belt needs to be replaced; 3. A clogged air filter can affect the air supply capacity of the air conditioning system, reducing its cooling and heating effectiveness and causing odors inside the car. The new Mondeo is Ford's standard B-segment car, offering both light and dark color schemes. The base 1.5L GTDi180 Comfort model only provides a light interior; the 2.0L GTDi240 Luxury Sport model offers a dark interior; the remaining 5 models provide both color options.

When encountering the issue of the new Mondeo's air conditioning not cooling, I figure there could be several possible reasons. The most common ones are insufficient refrigerant or a leak, which could be caused by loose pipe connections or a faulty compressor seal; if the compressor itself is seized or malfunctioning, that's even more troublesome—once the compressor stops working, the entire system can't cool. Additionally, if the fan isn't spinning, or the condenser is clogged with dust or leaves blocking heat dissipation, the hot air can't escape, drastically reducing cooling efficiency. Also, minor electrical issues like blown fuses or damaged relays are common culprits. I previously suggested trying a quick self-check: see if the front fan is running and listen for any unusual noises when the AC is turned on. For a proper fix, it's best to visit a 4S shop or a professional auto service to test the pressure, recharge the refrigerant, and conduct a thorough inspection. Don't delay too long—driving a stuffy, hot car in summer is unbearable.

Differences Between China V and China VI Vehicles

The differences between China V and China VI emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: The China VI emission standard is more than 30% stricter than China V. Excluding the influence of operating conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China V standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth stage of national motor vehicle emission standards. The China VI standard has been implemented since July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China V stage, the emission standards for diesel and gasoline vehicles were different, but China VI adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Different issuing authorities: The China V standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, while the China VI standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China V is represented by the letter V, while China VI is represented by VI. Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China V, China VI has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulations. China V standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM (particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China VI has two standards: China VIa and China VIb, as follows: China VIa standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM per kilometer driven. China VIb standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 milligrams of PM per kilometer driven. Affected by the China VI emission policy, although China V vehicles are not currently restricted in normal use, their resale value is significantly impacted. For truck owners, if they purchase a truck on loan for cargo transport, the vehicle's depreciation after repaying the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China VI vehicles, which have a longer service life and more road rights, offer greater advantages.

Why does a small wrench appear on the car?

When a small wrench appears on the car, it indicates that the vehicle is due for maintenance. At the time of manufacturing, the manufacturer sets a parameter, and when the vehicle reaches a certain mileage, the small wrench symbol will appear to remind the owner that the car needs servicing. Many car owners, upon seeing the wrench symbol, initially think that there is a malfunction requiring repair, but this is not the case. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, and power steering system.

What kind of oil should be added to a BorgWarner transfer case?

BorgWarner transfer cases require gear oil. Gear oil: Gear oil primarily refers to the lubricating oil used in transmissions and rear axles. It differs from engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance characteristics. Gear oil mainly functions to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and corrosion, and assist in heat dissipation for gears. Applications of gear oil: Automotive gear oil is used in gear transmission mechanisms such as steering gearboxes, transmissions, and drive axles. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubrication, anti-wear, cooling, heat dissipation, anti-corrosion and rust prevention, cleaning, and reducing gear surface impact and noise.
