BJ40's engine is from the Saab brand, a 2.4L inline-four naturally aspirated engine with the code name G4CA. It is an improved version of the 2.7L engine previously used in the BAIC Warrior, featuring two power options: 2.0T and 2.3T, capable of delivering up to 320nm and 350nm of torque respectively. The BJ40 is a domestically produced ORV off-road vehicle with body dimensions of 4350mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1837mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2450mm. In terms of power, the vehicle is equipped with a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum power of 105kw and a maximum torque of 217nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with the BJ40. Its early models were equipped with engines from Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi, like the classic 4G63T series, which delivered strong power but could be a bit noisy during off-roading. Later models, especially those after 2020, upgraded to Great Wall's own GW4C20B engine. During my test drive, I found this engine provides smoother acceleration and better fuel efficiency. When choosing a BJ40, the engine brand makes a significant difference: Mitsubishi engines have cheaper parts and simpler maintenance, making them ideal for experienced off-road drivers; Great Wall's newer engine boasts advanced technology and is more practical for daily commuting, but it's recommended to have the electronic control system checked at authorized service centers during maintenance. Overall, the BJ40 is highly reliable, delivers a wild driving experience, and is an excellent SUV choice.

How to Replace the Battery in the New Lavida Car Key?

The method to replace the battery in the new Lavida car key is: 1. Eject the metal mechanical key and place the key horizontally. 2. Hold both sides with your hands and pull outward with a bit of force to separate the key. 3. After opening the key, carefully remove the battery from the panel and replace it with a new one. 4. Finally, reassemble the key by reversing the previous steps. Additional information: To determine if the battery in the Volkswagen Lavida car key needs replacement, press the buttons on the remote key. If the battery indicator light does not illuminate, the battery in the remote key must be replaced as soon as possible. Using an unsuitable battery may damage the remote key. Therefore, the new battery should have the same voltage and structural dimensions as the old one.

What are the common issues with the National IV Fazer 150?

The common issues with the National IV Fazer 150 include: 1. Difficulty in achieving high RPM during cold starts; 2. Unresponsive throttle; 3. Abnormal engine noises. The reasons why a motorcycle fails to start after being idle for a long time are: 1. The gasoline inside the carburetor evaporates or deteriorates, preventing the fuel entering the cylinder from burning properly, thus failing to start; 2. The engine oil on the piston rings flows into the oil pan, reducing the sealing performance of the piston rings and causing insufficient cylinder pressure, leading to failure to start. Taking the Yamaha Fazer as an example, its body dimensions are: length 2015mm, width 745mm, height 1095mm, wheelbase 1330mm, fuel tank capacity 14L, and curb weight 128kg.

How to Check the Thermostat?

After starting the engine, open the radiator cap. If the coolant inside the radiator is calm, it indicates that the thermostat is functioning properly. Otherwise, the thermostat is malfunctioning. There are several criteria to check: 1. When the temperature gauge indicates below 70°C: If there is water flow inside the radiator and the water temperature is warm, it means the main valve of the thermostat is not tightly closed, causing the coolant to prematurely enter the large circulation and resulting in a slow rise in water temperature. In the initial stage of engine operation, if the water temperature rises quickly and slows down after the temperature gauge indicates 80°C, it means the thermostat is working normally. Conversely, if the water temperature continues to rise rapidly and reaches an alarm state, it indicates that the thermostat is damaged. 2. When the temperature gauge indicates between 70°C and 80°C: If the water temperature at the radiator filler port is low, and there is little or no water flow at the inlet pipe of the upper radiator chamber, it means the main valve of the thermostat cannot open. Under normal circumstances, the temperature difference between the upper and lower radiator hoses should not be too large.

What Causes the Chugging Sound in Vehicle Exhaust?

The causes of a chugging sound in vehicle exhaust are as follows: 1. Fuel system issues such as fuel line blockage, poor flow, or rail pressure problems. Abnormalities in the electric fuel pump or fuel filter blockage due to various reasons, leading to restricted fuel delivery; injector issues: inherent quality faults, blockages caused by foreign objects, poor sealing, aging O-rings, and other defects can all contribute. 2. Intake or idle control stepper motor problems, dirty or leaking throttle body. Abnormalities in sensors such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, or throttle position, leading to incorrect data. 3. Aging or cracked ignition wires causing electrical leakage or insufficient ignition strength. Poor contact due to installation issues. 4. Cooling system problems manifest as difficulty starting, exhaust backfiring upon startup, similar to an overly lean air-fuel mixture; under overheating conditions (poor cooling), excessively high coolant temperature. 5. Late ignition (distributor, ignition coil, etc.): delayed ignition causing incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Misalignment: possibly due to incorrect or misaligned ignition wires (position), leading to abnormal or non-functioning operation in individual or multiple cylinders. 6. Distributor faults: internal distributor issues such as stuck centrifugal weights or other defects. Inadequate ignition timing advance, resulting in late ignition and exhaust backfiring.

Can New Cars Not Be Driven on Highways?

New cars can be driven on highways during the break-in period. Here are some precautions to note during the break-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system undergoing break-in but also increases the load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full load during the break-in period can damage its components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of driving, the general load should not exceed 5%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. Avoid long-distance trips: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can easily lead to component wear. 4. Avoid changing oil too early: The initial oil in a new car is specifically designed for the break-in period, with low viscosity, excellent heat dissipation, cleaning, and anti-oxidation properties. Some oils even contain additives that aid in the break-in process. Therefore, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for oil changes during the break-in period and do not change it prematurely. 5. Avoid starting without warming up: It is essential to warm up a new car before starting. Warming up allows sufficient time for the engine to be properly lubricated, especially for turbocharged models, which must be warmed up before driving.

What Should You Pay Attention to When Learning to Drive for the First Time?

When learning to drive for the first time, you should pay attention to checking the vehicle condition, adjusting the seat, fastening the seat belt, and effectively communicating with the instructor. Additionally, maintaining a good mindset is essential. Below are some key points to note for first-time drivers: 1. Fasten the seat belt: Besides yourself, remind all passengers to buckle up if their seats have seat belts. 2. Adjust the seat position: For manual transmission cars, adjust the left foot position—the ball of your foot should fully depress the clutch with some room to spare. For automatic transmission cars, adjust the throttle position. Once the foot position is set, the hand position usually won’t be a major issue; adjust your hands for comfortable steering wheel operation. The backrest should be set for comfort, but avoid reclining too far, as lying back can reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt. 3. Familiarize yourself with the car: If it’s an unfamiliar vehicle, first get to know the gear positions, lights, horn, and other controls, as settings vary by manufacturer. Familiarize yourself with the gear positions before starting the engine; other controls can be learned afterward.
