BMW high-pressure fuel pump failure symptoms include severe car shaking, lack of acceleration power, unstable idling, difficulty starting, and even stalling. Both the fuel pump and high-pressure fuel pump may fail, though the probability is relatively low. Here is relevant information: 1. Hazards: A damaged fuel pump in the fuel tank is a serious malfunction that directly affects vehicle power and may even cause complete breakdown or failure to start. While high-pressure fuel pump failure won't necessarily strand the vehicle, it can cause weak acceleration and strong jerking sensations during driving. 2. Precautions: The high-pressure fuel pump is purely mechanically driven (by camshaft), with potential failures including mechanical damage, clogging, or oil leakage. For direct injection engines, fuel pump and high-pressure fuel pump failures share similar symptoms. If experiencing weak acceleration or shaking, step-by-step diagnosis is recommended. This applies to both the fuel pump and high-pressure fuel pump.

What Causes Ice Formation in Truck Air Conditioning Pipes?

The reason for ice formation inside the pipes is the presence of air in the air conditioning system. Below is relevant information: 1. Low evaporation temperature: When the evaporation temperature is very low, moisture in the air can freeze, causing ice blockage in the air conditioning system. 2. Insufficient refrigerant: Ice can also form outside the air conditioning pipes when there is insufficient refrigerant. 3. Dirty or clogged evaporator: Ice formation in the pipes can also occur when the evaporator or return air filter is dirty or clogged. 4. Temperature imbalance: The refrigerant (in gaseous state) turns into liquid after passing through the compressor. During its transportation through the pipes (narrow pipes, liquid pipes), the vaporization process absorbs heat, lowering the temperature around the pipes and causing moisture in the air to condense and freeze, forming frost or ice when the temperature drops below 0°C. Adjusting the temperature too high or too low can lead to frost or ice formation. 5. Overly cold refrigerant returning to the compressor: The cause of frost formation on the thick pipe is excessively cold refrigerant returning to the compressor. This can happen due to too much refrigerant or too low indoor temperature, preventing the refrigerant from fully evaporating into gas in the indoor unit's evaporator before returning to the compressor. This results in frost on the thick pipe and liquid compression, which can damage the compressor over prolonged operation.

Is the Wildlander Hybrid Exempt from Purchase Tax?

Wildlander Hybrid is exempt from purchase tax, and plug-in hybrid models are exempt from license plate auction and purchase tax. New energy vehicle purchase subsidies: Purchasing new energy vehicles can qualify for financial subsidies from both the national and local governments. From January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, the purchase tax on new energy vehicles is exempt. Purchase tax: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals purchasing designated vehicles within the country. It is determined by the ex-factory price of the vehicle (excluding VAT). The more expensive the vehicle, the higher the purchase tax to be paid. Currently, the vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%.

How are diesel models classified?

Diesel grades are classified based on the freezing point and temperature. The most important use of diesel is for diesel engines in vehicles and ships. Compared to gasoline, diesel has a higher energy density and lower fuel consumption. Freezing Point: The classification of diesel grades is based on the freezing point of the diesel. The numerical value of the diesel grade represents the freezing point temperature of the diesel rather than the octane number. Currently, light diesel used domestically is divided into six grades based on the freezing point: No. 5 diesel, No. 0 diesel, No. -10 diesel, No. -20 diesel, No. -35 diesel, and No. -50 diesel. Temperature: The selection of different diesel grades is mainly determined by the temperature during use. Generally speaking, No. 5 diesel is suitable for use when the temperature is above 8 degrees Celsius; No. 0 diesel is suitable for use when the temperature is between 8 and 4 degrees Celsius; No. -10 diesel is suitable for use when the temperature is between 4 and -5 degrees Celsius; No. -20 diesel is suitable for use when the temperature is between -5 and -14 degrees Celsius; No. -35 diesel is suitable for use when the temperature is between -14 and -29 degrees Celsius. The lower the diesel grade, the stronger the anti-freeze capability, so the choice of diesel grade should be based on the actual temperature.
