Here are the detailed causes and solutions for excessive engine noise: 1. The car has been driven for too many years with excessive wear, causing excessive clearance in the transmission system and resulting in vibration and abnormal noise. Solution: Perform a comprehensive overhaul or scrap the vehicle. 2. The transmission V-belt is too loose, causing fluttering or slipping and producing sharp noise. Solution: Adjust the tightness of the transmission V-belt. 3. Excessive carbon deposits in the engine cylinders lead to poor combustion, producing a noise similar to that of a tractor. Solution: Clean the carbon deposits in the cylinders. 4. Check if any bearings are damaged, as damaged bearings will produce a buzzing noise. Solution: Replace the bearings. 5. Poor fuel quality leads to poor combustion, causing the engine to produce a popping noise. Solution: Use high-quality fuel. 6. Excessive engine noise may be related to unsuitable or dirty engine oil. Solution: Change the engine oil.

Can I Apply for a Replacement of My Lost Driver's License on 12123?

You cannot apply for a replacement of your lost driver's license on 12123. Here is the relevant information: 1. Driver's License Replacement: If your driver's license is lost, you should go to the vehicle management office (VMO), and any local VMO can handle the replacement. According to national regulations, if an motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver should apply for a replacement at the VMO where the license was originally issued or at any other VMO outside the original jurisdiction. When applying, you need to fill out an application form and submit the driver's identity proof and a written statement declaring the loss of the driver's license. If the application meets the requirements, the VMO will issue a replacement driver's license within one day. 2. Reporting Loss: There is no need to report the loss of a driver's license; you only need to apply for a replacement at the VMO promptly. However, when applying for a replacement, you need to fill out a written statement declaring the loss of the driver's license, confirming that the license is indeed lost and stating that any improper consequences caused by the lost license in the future are not the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Once the replacement is completed, the original driver's license, even if found, will be considered invalid.

What is the difference between 0w20 and 0w30?

0w30 engine oil and 0w20 engine oil differ in the following aspects: 1. High-temperature kinematic viscosity: The kinematic viscosity of 20-grade oil at 100 degrees is around 8, while that of 30-grade oil is about 11, making 30-grade oil more viscous than 20-grade oil. 2. Vehicle compatibility: 0w-20 and 0w-30 are produced to meet the design requirements of different engines, so the oil viscosity should be selected based on the engine's specifications. For example, Japanese, Korean, and American car models typically use 0w-20 oil viscosity, while European cars require 0w-30 or higher viscosity oil.

What does it mean when the engine fuel-saving auto start-stop is not provided?

Engine fuel-saving auto start-stop not being provided means that the vehicle's conditions do not meet the activation requirements of the auto start-stop system. Possible reasons include the brake not being fully depressed or insufficient battery charge. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when it's time to move forward again. Below are some related details: 1. Principle: The auto start-stop system is achieved by equipping a traditional engine with an enhanced motor that has idle start-stop functionality. This allows the engine to completely shut off when the vehicle meets the conditions for idle stop. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's command, restarting the engine instantly to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. 2. Features: The auto start-stop system uses a computer to determine the vehicle's state, such as when stopped at a red light or in traffic. The computer can control the engine to stop automatically without affecting the use of in-car devices like the air conditioner or audio system. 3. Benefit: This technology can save up to 5% of fuel under normal driving conditions and up to about 15% in congested traffic.
