Introduction to the causes of lack of power in diesel vehicles: 1. Clogged air filter: If the air filter is clogged, the engine will lose power and have difficulty starting. The longer this condition persists, the more severe the symptoms become. The solution is to remove the air filter. 2. Low fuel pressure value: This can cause fuel line blockages, leading to insufficient engine power in diesel vehicles. The solution is to replace the fuel filter. 3. Use of poor-quality or overly concentrated urea: This can result in slow acceleration and poor uphill performance in diesel vehicles. Additional information: Black smoke from diesel vehicles is mainly due to incomplete combustion of diesel fuel inside the engine. Using appropriate, standard fuel and cleaning the fuel system can alleviate the black smoke issue. Black smoke from the engine increases fuel consumption and reduces power.

If the airflow from the air conditioner significantly decreases, the air conditioning filter may be clogged. Clean the filter or replace it if necessary. 3. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier. 4. The air conditioning filter should be correctly installed in its position. Using the air conditioner when the filter is removed may degrade dustproof performance and affect air conditioning performance. 5.

How many days of content can a dash cam generally record?

Automobile dash cams can generally retain recordings for about 3 to 7 days, with larger memory capacities allowing for longer storage durations. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel, consisting of a main unit, speed sensor, and data analysis software. Based on installation methods, automobile dash cams are categorized into rearview mirror dash cams and data dash cams. A dash cam records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle travel. Once installed, it can capture the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents and serving as parking surveillance. The recorded video footage must not be edited; tampering with the footage may render it useless in the event of an accident, and it also helps prevent unavoidable fraudulent claims prevalent in society today. The functions of a dash cam include protecting the legal rights of drivers, enabling quick and accurate accident resolution through playback of recorded footage, reducing the occurrence of accidents, and serving as a tool to document scenic routes during road trips.

Dual-clutch transmissions come in dry and wet types. The stability of dry dual-clutch transmissions is inferior to wet ones, and they also exhibit more noticeable gear shift jerks. Dry dual-clutch transmissions are generally paired with engines that have relatively lower power output, as they cannot withstand very high torque.
