What Causes Loud Engine Noise During Startup?

The loud noise during engine startup is primarily caused by excessive engine oil, which increases the stirring resistance of the crankshaft connecting rod, leading to amplified noise. Below are extended details regarding oil changes: Changing Engine Oil and Oil Filter: It is essential to change the engine oil promptly during vehicle maintenance. If the oil turns black, becomes thin, or contains sand particles, usage should be discontinued immediately. Prolonged use of unchanged or deteriorated oil not only fails to provide lubrication but also damages the engine. It is advisable to replace the oil filter simultaneously during an oil change to prevent contaminants from the old filter from compromising the quality of the new oil. Considerations for Selecting Engine Oil: When selecting engine oil, opt for lower viscosity grades. Low-viscosity oils offer better fluidity, effectively reducing engine wear. Engine oil functions as hydraulic fluid within the hydraulic lifters. Given the engine's high rotational speed, the frequency of oil flowing in and out of the hydraulic lifters is also very high. When the oil viscosity is too high, it results in insufficient oil intake per cycle, causing delayed hydraulic lifter response. This leads to inadequate extension of the pushrods, increased valve clearance, and consequently, valve noise.

What is the process for downgrading a driver's license?

Process: The motor vehicle driver or their agent should bring the required materials to the service window of the vehicle management office branch or the driver's license management window of the traffic police detachment (brigade) in each district (county). If applying for a voluntary downgrade of the permitted driving category at a vehicle management office outside the jurisdiction where the driver's license was originally issued, the transfer procedures must be completed as required. Required materials: "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form". Identity proof and photocopy of the motor vehicle driver. Motor vehicle driver's license. Driver's license photo. If simultaneously applying for renewal upon expiration, submit the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate". Two recent front-facing, bareheaded, white-background color ID photos (submit the digital photo collection receipt if required by local regulations). If applying for a voluntary downgrade of the permitted driving category at a vehicle management office outside the jurisdiction where the driver's license was originally issued, the transfer procedures must be completed as required, and the original "Motor Vehicle Driver's Health Status Declaration Form" must be submitted. For proxy applications, a power of attorney and the agent's identity proof and photocopy must also be submitted. For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, the vehicle management office shall revoke their highest permitted driving category qualification and notify the driver to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days under the following circumstances: Downgrading a driver's license refers to the vehicle management office revoking the highest permitted driving category qualification of drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks if they are involved in a traffic accident causing death without constituting a crime, accumulate 12 penalty points in one scoring cycle, or fail to participate in the review for three consecutive scoring cycles, and notifying the driver to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within 30 days. Being involved in a traffic accident causing death, bearing equal or greater responsibility, without constituting a crime. Accumulating 12 penalty points in one scoring cycle. Failing to participate in the review for three consecutive scoring cycles. If the motor vehicle driver fails to complete the downgrade and license replacement procedures within the specified time, the vehicle management office shall announce the revocation of the permitted driving category qualification. After completing the downgrade and license replacement procedures, if the motor vehicle driver applies to reinstate the revoked permitted driving category, they must have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application, and no involvement in a traffic accident causing death with equal or greater responsibility. Procedure for revoking the highest permitted driving category and completing the downgrade and license replacement: After passing the relevant examination, receive the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Examination Information Feedback Notice" (for Class A and B licenses, the downgrade information will be noted on the notice). After the suspension period ends, bring the ID card and the "Motor Vehicle Driver's Illegal Full-Point Examination Information Feedback Notice" to the traffic police team where the license was suspended to retrieve the driver's license.

How to Fix Roewe Fault Code P0700?

Roewe fault code P0700 can be resolved by: 1. Replacing the main relay; 2. Replacing the speed sensor. The fault code indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's main relay, which is the primary power supply relay for the engine control unit (ECU). It provides power to the engine control unit. In some vehicles, the main relay has a delay function, continuing to supply power for a few seconds after the ignition is turned off to allow components like the throttle to return to their initial positions. The speed sensor detects the engine speed, determines the crankshaft's position, and monitors signals for the piston's top dead center and crankshaft angle. These signals are then sent to the ECU to control ignition timing and fuel injection timing.
