If the fuel pump has insufficient oil pressure, the engine will be difficult to start and may stall during startup. 1. Pressure relief valve explanation: The pressure relief valve, also known as the overflow valve or safety valve, opens when the fuel supply line pressure exceeds the limit, directly releasing the pressure into the fuel tank. For example, the general limit is 450kpa. Possible causes include a blocked or bent fuel supply line, a bent or blocked return line, or a clogged fuel filter. 2. Inspection method: First, determine whether it is a fixed displacement pump or a variable displacement pump. For a fixed displacement pump, check the pump's maximum pressure. If it meets the specifications, try replacing the overflow valve. If there is still no change, check whether the pump is severely worn or has excessive internal leakage. For a variable displacement pump, first check the pump's pressure setting, and then follow the same steps as for a fixed displacement pump.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking?

There are several possible reasons for a clicking sound when applying the brakes in a car: 1. Excessive wear on brake discs and brake pads: Both brake discs and brake pads are high-wear components. Every time you brake, these two parts rub against each other, leading to natural wear over time. When they become excessively worn, unusual noises may occur, so regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while brake discs should be replaced every 100,000-120,000 kilometers. 2. Improper installation of brake pads: If the brake pads are installed incorrectly or are of the wrong model, unusual noises may also occur. Reinstalling the brake pads may solve the issue. It is recommended to have brake pads installed by a professional auto repair shop. 3. Other potential causes include faults in the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads, all of which can produce this clicking sound. If the noise persists, the first step is to check for any dragging brakes. Poor caliper retraction can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pad, leading to unusual noises under certain conditions.

Is Wheel Balancing Necessary After Rotating Front and Rear Tires?

Wheel balancing is essential after rotating the front and rear tires of a car. A car's wheel is an integrated unit composed of the tire and the rim. However, due to manufacturing limitations, the mass distribution of this unit cannot be perfectly uniform. When the car's wheels rotate at high speeds, this can lead to dynamic imbalance, causing symptoms such as wheel wobbling and steering wheel vibration during driving. Below is relevant information about wheel balancing: 1. Balance weights corresponding to the measured values should be attached to both sides of the rim (small lead weights with clips, marked with their weight). For example, if the readings are 10 and 15 for the left and right sides respectively, balance weights of 10 and 15 should be attached to each side accordingly. It is incorrect to attach only a single 5-unit weight on the right side, as this would not meet the requirements. 2. Tires should undergo regular balancing checks using a balancing machine. Tire balancing is divided into dynamic and static balancing. Dynamic imbalance can cause the wheels to wobble, leading to scalloped wear on the tires. 3. Static imbalance can result in bouncing and hopping, often causing flat spots on the tires. Therefore, regular balancing checks not only extend the tire's lifespan but also enhance the vehicle's stability during driving, preventing accidents caused by loss of control due to tire wobbling or hopping at high speeds.

How to Turn on the Fog Lights on the Geely Boyue?

Geely Boyue's fog light switch is located on the left-hand side of the vehicle's light control lever. The prerequisite for turning on the fog lights is to activate the parking lights or headlights. More information about fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights are only turned on in hazy conditions. When encountering heavy fog with very low visibility, these lights must be turned on so that your vehicle can be seen by other cars. In conditions other than haze, when visibility is normal, please make sure to turn off the fog lights, as their brightness and penetration are very high, which can dazzle other drivers, especially the rear fog lights, which can reduce the warning effect of the brake lights. Turning on the rear fog lights in good visibility conditions increases the risk of being rear-ended. 2. In foggy or rainy conditions with low visibility, front fog lights can assist the headlights, while rear fog lights alert vehicles behind of your presence. 3. Fog lights are generally used on highways. Public security authorities also stipulate that vehicles without rear fog lights are not allowed to drive on highways.

How to Deal with Foggy Car Windows on Rainy Days?

Press the defogging button, turn on the air conditioning (A/C) switch, set the temperature to the lowest, and switch to external circulation to defog. Both cold and warm air can be used to defog car windows, but warm air is slower than cold air. The most effective method is to use cold air, which blows dry cold air directly onto the glass, preventing water vapor from condensing and achieving defogging. The method for using warm air is the same as cold air, but note that warm air should not be used on rainy days as it may initially worsen the fog. Always use external circulation when defogging car windows. The reason for foggy car windows: There is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperatures differ, the side with the lower temperature will have a lower saturated vapor pressure on its surface compared to the surrounding environment, causing water vapor to gather on the glass and form tiny droplets, resulting in fog. Methods to defog car windows: Air Conditioning Cooling: Use the air conditioning's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car without turning on the air conditioning promptly, the exhaled humid air can quickly cause the windshield to fog up. Turning on the air conditioning to blow cold air onto the windshield and using the dehumidification function can quickly remove the fog. If the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is ineffective, slightly opening the windows can rapidly reduce the cabin's humidity. Combining this with the air conditioning can speed up the process. Air Conditioning Heating: Use warm air to reduce the temperature difference and remove fog. In winter, blowing warm air onto the windshield quickly raises its temperature, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside surfaces and preventing heavy fogging. However, the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to remove all the fog. Whether the air conditioning is automatic or manual, turning it on helps with dehumidification. Avoid setting the temperature to the coldest position, as prolonged use may cause the outer windshield to fog up. Applying Anti-Fog Spray or Preventive Measures: Spray a small amount of defogging agent on the car windows and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains. This leaves a thin, transparent protective film that effectively prevents water vapor from condensing into fog, especially useful in cold winters. Alternatives to defogging agents include dish soap, soapy water, glycerin, alcohol, or saltwater. After applying and letting it dry, wipe off excess residue with a chamois or soft dry cloth to keep the windows fog-free for several days. Opening Windows for Airflow: If the fog inside the car is not too heavy, opening the side windows can create airflow between the inside and outside, reducing the temperature difference and gradually dissipating the fog. This method works on the same principle as using cold air from the air conditioning. However, this approach has obvious drawbacks and cannot be used during rain, snow, on highways, or when the fog is too heavy. Rear Window Heating: Most cars have a rear window heating function, though the button location may vary. Turning on the rear window heating switch will usually clear the fog within about a minute.
