The symptoms of a faulty thermostat in the Buick Excelle are as follows: 1. Water temperature warning light on: Thermostat failure, the thermostat opening is too small, affecting the engine's large and small circulation, preventing effective heat dissipation, leading to an increase in engine water temperature and the water temperature warning light illuminating. 2. Abnormal noises: The thermostat opening is too large, causing the engine water temperature to be too low, slow water temperature rise, increased fuel consumption, and abnormal engine noises. 3. Water temperature warning light on: The thermostat is stuck, easily forming carbon deposits, leading to unstable engine idle speed and causing engine vibration. Additional information: In the automotive engine cooling system, the car thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the cooling water temperature, changing the range of water circulation to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate range.

Can a Level 8 Wind Blow a Car Away?

A level 8 gale can blow a car away. A level 8 wind refers to wind speeds ranging from 17.2 to 20.4 meters per second, equivalent to 62-74 km/h, with wind pressure between 184.9-267.8 Pa. Fishing boats seek shelter in harbors, large waves gradually rise, wave peaks break, spray forms distinct streaks along the wind direction, small branches snap, and moving against the wind becomes difficult. Below are specific details about a car's resistance to typhoons: 1. Car's Typhoon Resistance: Different types of vehicles have varying resistance to typhoons. Due to the characteristics of typhoons, sedans have stronger typhoon resistance than SUVs because sedans have a lower center of gravity, are much shorter in height compared to SUVs, and have better grip. 2. Different Parts of the Same Car: The body's sheet metal is much more resistant to typhoons than the windshield and side windows. 3. Moving vs. Stationary Cars: A moving car's ability to resist typhoons is far weaker than that of a stationary car.

What ride-hailing platforms can an 8-year-old vehicle apply for?

An 8-year-old vehicle can apply for platforms under AutoNavi (Gaode). However, it cannot register with Didi. The requirements for driving for Didi ride-hailing include: 1. Vehicle age: The vehicle must be less than 8 years old, based on the date on the vehicle registration certificate. This is because Didi vehicles are considered commercial vehicles and are subject to the mandatory scrapping regulation of 8 years or 600,000 kilometers. Even if the Didi ride-hailing registration is canceled, this regulation still applies. 2. Mileage: The vehicle must have less than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer, be in good condition, and meet the local ride-hailing requirements. 3. Vehicle price: The vehicle's base price must be above 70,000 RMB, based on the invoice amount. In some cities, Didi Premium requires vehicles priced above 120,000 RMB, and Didi Luxury requires vehicles priced above 200,000 RMB.
