What Causes Oil Stains on the Car Chassis but No Oil on the Ground?

Oil stains on the car chassis but no oil on the ground may indicate oil seepage. Below is a partial introduction about the car chassis: Definition: The car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the power from the engine, enabling the car to move, and ensuring normal driving. Function: The power generated by the car engine is transmitted to the driving wheels through the transmission system. The transmission system has functions such as deceleration, speed change, reverse, power interruption, wheel differential, and axle differential. Working in conjunction with the engine, it ensures the normal operation of the car under various working conditions, with good power performance and fuel economy.

I encountered a similar situation last time where oil stains were found underneath the chassis, but the parking spot was completely clean. This could be caused by minor leaks, such as aging seals or loose screws, leading to slow oil seepage. The oil stains accumulate beneath the chassis guard plate or heat shield without dripping to the ground, as the leakage is minimal—either dried by airflow at high speeds or blocked by components. It's advisable to first check common sources, such as engine oil, transmission fluid, or brake fluid line connections for wet spots. If necessary, wipe them clean and monitor for a few days. Daily driving impacts on the chassis might also damage oil lines, causing slow seepage. Neglecting regular oil seal inspections during maintenance is a common issue—remember to have a mechanic check every six months to prevent minor issues from escalating into costly repairs. Additionally, uneven chassis structures can trap oil droplets, complicating diagnosis, so don’t assume everything’s fine just because the ground looks clean.

What Causes the Suction Sound When Opening the Fuel Tank?

Here are the specific reasons for the suction sound in the fuel tank: 1. Malfunction of the carbon canister or solenoid valve. The pressure inside the fuel tank is lower than the external pressure, which can cause the tank to deform. Severe deformation may prevent refueling. 2. When the pressure inside the fuel tank is lower than the external pressure and there is no ventilation with the outside, the fuel pump will draw outward. Over time, this may lead to damage to the fuel pump. 3. Continuous evaporation of fuel in the tank increases internal pressure. To mitigate the effects of vapor and prevent these fuel vapors from directly polluting the atmosphere, a pathway is designed between the car's fuel tank and the engine intake manifold.

How to Check if a New Car Meets China 6 Emission Standards?

Here are the methods to check if a new car meets China 6 emission standards: 1. Visit relevant query websites such as the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website, and directly enter the vehicle identification number (VIN) and engine number to check. 2. Vehicle Certificate of Conformity: Many products come with a certificate of conformity, and cars, being such significant purchases, are no exception. The vehicle certificate of conformity will clearly indicate the emission standard of the car. Additionally, the certificate is usually collected and archived by the vehicle management office during registration, so it's advisable to take a photo or make a copy before registration for future reference. 3. Environmental Information List: This document directly states the vehicle's exhaust emission standard, whether it's China 5 or China 6. By reviewing this list, you can clearly determine if the car meets the China 6 standard. 4. Vehicle Conformity Certificate: When purchasing a car, you can request relevant documents and certificates from the salesperson. Although the Vehicle Conformity Certificate does not directly state whether it's China 5 or China 6, the information "GB18352.5-2013" can indicate that the vehicle's exhaust emission belongs to the fifth stage, meaning it's a China 5 vehicle. 5. Check the VIN directly: The VIN can be seen in the corner of the front windshield. The tenth letter of the VIN represents the production year of the vehicle, with A standing for 2010, and so on (excluding the letter I), J for 2018, and K for 2019. If the tenth digit of your new car's VIN is J, it means the car was produced in 2018, an "older" model, and you can question whether it truly meets the China 6 emission standard. Of course, the production year does not directly represent the vehicle's emission standard, so this method is for reference only.

Can Fabric Seats Be Removed and Washed?

Fabric seats can be removed and washed. When the fabric seats are relatively dirty, you can use a brush to clean the particularly soiled areas, then use a clean cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent to wipe the entire seat surface while it is semi-dry and semi-wet. Afterward, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the seats again and remove excess moisture. Additional Information: 1. When the fabric seats are not very dirty, you can choose to use a long-haired brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Combining both methods is even better—brush the seat surface while using the vacuum cleaner’s suction to remove dirt. Fabric seats are primarily made of chemical fiber materials. Their advantages include durability, resistance to aging, and resistance to damage, along with a long service life and low cost. They also provide strong friction, preventing any sensation of slipping when seated, and offer better stability during rides compared to leather seats. 2. Fabric seats also have good breathability. The breathability of car seat cushions is crucial, especially in hot weather. If the cushion lacks breathability, long hours of driving can become very uncomfortable. Fabric seats are easier to maintain than leather seats, as they do not require special cleaning solutions and are not prone to scratches, making them a worthwhile choice.

What does ACC adaptive cruise control mean?

ACC adaptive cruise control, also known as active cruise control, is similar to traditional cruise control. The system includes radar sensors, digital signal processors, and control modules. Additional information: 1. In the adaptive cruise control system, the system uses low-power radar or infrared beams to determine the exact position of the vehicle ahead. If it detects that the vehicle ahead is slowing down or identifies a new target, the system sends a signal to the engine or braking system to reduce speed, thereby maintaining a safe driving distance between the vehicles. 2. When the road ahead is clear, the system will accelerate back to the set speed, and the radar system will automatically monitor the next target. The active cruise control system takes over speed control from the driver, avoiding frequent cancellation and resetting of cruise control. The adaptive cruise control system is suitable for various road conditions, providing drivers with a more relaxed driving experience.

Which Wheels Are the Drive Wheels?

Drive wheels are the wheels that convert the energy from the car's engine into kinetic energy, enabling the vehicle to move forward or backward. The drive wheels are connected to the drive axle and provide the power needed for the car to move forward. The power from the car's engine is transmitted through the gearbox to the drive axle, which then transfers it to the drive wheels. Therefore, the drive axle not only supports the weight of the car but also delivers the driving force. When the car moves forward, the front two wheels act as the drive wheels, while the rear two wheels serve as the passive wheels, which only provide support and do not contribute to propulsion.

What causes the Wuling Sunshine to have sluggish acceleration and feel stuffy?

The reasons for the Wuling Sunshine's sluggish acceleration and stuffy feeling are: 1. Poor fuel quality; 2. Cracked engine intake pipe; 3. Incorrect ignition timing; 4. Fuel injection system malfunction; 5. Throttle position sensor failure; 6. Three-way catalytic converter failure; 7. Spark plug malfunction; 8. Slow response from the transmission computer. Taking the Wuling Sunshine 2019 1.2L S Utility model as an example, this vehicle measures 3890 mm in length, 1525 mm in width, and 1822 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2500 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 38 liters. It is equipped with a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
