What are the three core components of a car?

Engine, transmission, and chassis. The following is an introduction to the three major components: Engine: A machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, used as a power generation device, also referring to the entire machine including the power unit. Chassis: The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system in a car, which supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine power, and ensuring normal operation. Transmission: A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; while an automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience, I firmly believe the three core components of a car are undoubtedly the engine, transmission, and chassis. The engine acts as the heart of the vehicle—without it, there's no power, and the car won't start. The transmission controls power output, ensuring smooth gear shifts for stable driving. The chassis, including the suspension system and body structure, supports the entire vehicle and absorbs vibrations. For maintenance, I always prioritize these areas: changing engine oil every 5,000 kilometers to prevent overheating; timely replacement of transmission fluid to avoid jamming; and tightening chassis bolts to prevent instability at high speeds. From experience, aging of these components leads to major issues—like engine smoke, jerky transmission with dragging sensations, or a loose chassis causing body misalignment, all of which are costly to repair. Proper maintenance of core parts can extend a car's lifespan by several years, enhance safe driving sensations, and prevent breakdowns on the road.

How to Solve the Problem of Weak Airflow in Car Air Conditioning?

There are several reasons for reduced airflow in car air conditioning: 1. Check the air conditioning filter. A dirty filter with poor permeability can obstruct air circulation, leading to weak airflow. In such cases, it's necessary to replace the filter promptly. 2. Clean the air conditioning evaporator: The evaporator surface accumulates moisture during operation, which over time can trap dust and severely block airflow. 3. Turn the switch to the highest setting: Some car owners believe that setting the air conditioning to the highest level increases fuel consumption. However, setting the airflow to maximum has minimal impact on fuel consumption. If the airflow still feels weak, adjust the switch to the highest setting. 4. Activate the internal circulation mode: Enabling internal circulation allows air to circulate within the car without drawing in external heat, creating a cooler sensation and reducing external resistance, which relatively increases airflow.

What are the requirements for purchasing duty-free imported vehicles in Hainan?

Only vehicles for operational purposes can apply for duty-free status. This not only requires the purchasing enterprise to be engaged in transportation or tourism industries, but also mandates that the vehicles must be used specifically for these two sectors. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Hainan's zero-tariff policy only applies to 'operational vehicles': It is explicitly stated that the policy primarily targets 'operational vehicles,' meaning it is unrelated to personal interests. Moreover, the policy does not completely lift restrictions and is likely to impose strict limitations on vehicle usage, quantity, technical specifications, etc. 2. A 10% vehicle purchase tax is levied in Hainan: According to the 'Vehicle Purchase Tax Law,' the current vehicle purchase tax rate is 10% of the vehicle's selling price (excluding tax), with a value-added tax rate of 13%. 3. New energy vehicles are exempt from purchase tax: From January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, new energy vehicles purchased are exempt from the vehicle purchase tax. New energy vehicles exempt from purchase tax include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (including range-extended) vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles.

What to Do If the Rear Taillight Cover of the Car Is Broken?

There are several solutions for a cracked rear taillight cover: 1. Small cracks: Depending on the severity of the crack, if it is still functional, continue using it for a while. 2. Glue repair: Simple repairs can be made using glue and plastic. 3. Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring of the taillight; if it is affected by short circuits during rain, replace the cover. Related knowledge about car lights: 1. No separate replacement: The taillight cover cannot be replaced separately because auto parts stores do not sell individual components, so the entire assembly must be replaced. 2. Warranty period: The warranty for car lights is often only 3-6 months. Since lights are considered wear-and-tear parts, the maintenance manual usually states in small print that while the entire car has a three-year warranty, the headlights often only have a warranty of 3 to 6 months or 5,000 kilometers.

Is it necessary to apply rear window film?

Applying rear window film is necessary for the following reasons: 1. Cooling: It provides heat insulation and blocks UV rays from the sun, which can also help reduce air conditioning consumption to some extent. 2. Privacy: It ensures a certain level of privacy inside the car. Typically, cars with window film make it difficult to see inside from the outside while allowing clear visibility from the inside out. Post-application precautions include: 1. Sun-drying the vehicle after application: Whether it's the front or rear window, after applying the film, it's advisable to expose the car to sunlight for a period to help the film dry faster, ensuring it doesn't affect subsequent use. Generally, about a week of sun exposure is sufficient. 2. Avoid rolling windows up and down: After applying the film, try not to roll the windows up or down for at least three days. This is because there may still be moisture between the film and the glass, and rolling the windows during this period can cause the edges of the film to peel off. 3. Avoid attaching items to the windows: For one month after application, refrain from attaching strongly adhesive labels to the window film to prevent partial peeling.

Is Anti-Lag System Harmful to the Car?

Anti-lag system does cause certain harm to the car. Essentially, anti-lag is an engine tuning method derived from drag racing. Since it deliberately ignites the air-fuel mixture outside the combustion chamber, anti-lag is essentially equivalent to what is commonly referred to as misfiring. The effects of anti-lag on the car: 1. Heat absorption: The anti-lag system not only reduces turbo lag but also has another advantage. Gasoline itself is highly volatile and can absorb part of the engine's heat. When highly volatile gasoline enters the engine and exhaust system, it can effectively lower the engine temperature. 2. Increased durability: Turbocharged race cars need to burn a very rich air-fuel mixture. Although this leads to high fuel consumption, it can reduce engine temperatures, thereby increasing engine durability from this perspective. 3. Disadvantages: However, the drawbacks are also unavoidable. The powerful force and high temperature generated by the explosion of the rich air-fuel mixture in the exhaust system will increase the load on parts such as the exhaust manifold, turbocharger exhaust-side blades, and valve surroundings, shortening the service life of the turbocharger, exhaust system, and engine exhaust valves.

Is It Harmful to Run the Car Air Conditioner for Two Hours While Idling?

It can cause some damage to the car, but the impact is not too severe. The car won't break down, but there may be some engine wear, potentially requiring earlier oil changes and maintenance. Here are the relevant details: 1. Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning system is designed to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle to optimal levels, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue. It also creates better working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. 2. Precautions: This consumes a significant amount of fuel. It is not recommended to run the air conditioning while idling for extended periods. Prolonged use of the air conditioning in recirculation mode can lead to deteriorating air quality inside the car, with increasing levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, which can pose health risks and even endanger lives.
