Coolant boiling and overflowing is caused by a damaged radiator or a connection between the oil seat and the water channel. Below are specific details about coolant: 1. Definition: Coolant, whose full name should be antifreeze coolant, refers to a cooling liquid with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold weather, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block. Antifreeze is not only for winter use but should be used year-round. In regular car maintenance, the engine coolant should be replaced every year. 2. Function: Coolant is an essential part of a car engine. It circulates within the engine cooling system, carrying away excess heat generated during engine operation to maintain the engine at its optimal working temperature. Insufficient coolant can lead to overheating of the engine, potentially causing damage to engine components. If a car owner notices low coolant levels, they should top it up promptly.

What is the equivalent national emission standard for Euro IV?

Euro IV is equivalent to the National IV emission standard, which is the abbreviation for the fourth phase of China's motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. Below is a partial introduction to automotive emission standards: Introduction: Automotive emission standards refer to regulations on the content of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). Development Background: With the increasing severity of vehicle exhaust pollution, legislation on vehicle emissions became imperative. Countries around the world established corresponding regulatory systems for vehicle emissions as early as the 1960s and 1970s. Strict regulations have driven advancements in vehicle emission control technologies, and as these technologies continue to improve, the formulation of higher standards has become possible.

What are the reasons why a car cannot start after being parked?

Reasons why a car cannot start after being parked: 1. The water temperature sensor is faulty, in which case you can only find a nearby repair shop to solve the problem; 2.

Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle valve, you can try pressing the accelerator slightly while starting; 4. The engine is still in a cold state, especially for cars that have been parked for a long time, the operating parameters of the engine are completely different from the hot state of the previous day, and various sensors need to be readjusted. If you insert the key and start immediately, the operating parameters of the engine will be abnormal initial data, resulting in startup failure or multiple startup failures.

How High is the Temperature of a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission fluid temperature normally ranges between 90-100 degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above this upper limit can cause severe damage to the transmission. Under normal driving conditions, the transmission fluid temperature is typically below 135 degrees Celsius. Transmission fluid temperature should not exceed 120 degrees Celsius: The optimal operating temperature is around 80 or 90 degrees Celsius. Prolonged exposure to temperatures higher than this range will accelerate the degradation of the transmission fluid's composition and usability. Excessive transmission fluid temperature: This is one of the common transmission malfunctions. Overheating can lead to a series of issues, and in extreme cases, it may cause severe damage to the transmission or even result in safety hazards.

Is It Serious If There Are Cracks in the Central Grooves of the Tire?

It depends on the specific situation: If the tire shows signs of aging, it needs to be replaced immediately, regardless of how long it has been used or the extent of wear. Below are the details: Indicator marks: If the remaining groove depth of the tire tread reaches or falls below 1.6 millimeters (there are indicator marks inside the longitudinal straight grooves of the tire tread indicating this depth), the tire must be replaced because its drainage capacity has significantly decreased, making driving on wet surfaces more dangerous. Damaged tires: Damaged tires should also be carefully evaluated for replacement. For example, a tire that has been run underinflated may still be drivable when inflated, but since the internal structure may have been compromised, it is recommended to replace it with a new tire promptly.

How to eliminate the ABS light on the dashboard?

The method to eliminate the ABS light on the dashboard: Open the driver's side door of the car, pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area, then lift the car's engine hood upwards. Use the support rod to prop up the engine hood, ensuring it is securely supported to prevent any hazards during the operation. Then, replenish the car's brake fluid to the MAX level. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. This light should briefly illuminate for a few seconds when starting the car, and it will automatically turn off if the system self-check finds no issues. During driving, if you press the brake pedal quickly to the bottom, the ABS will activate, and the light will turn on. When you release the brake, the ABS will deactivate, and the light will turn off.
