The reason for abnormal noise when the engine is cold but disappears when it's warm is: In a cold state, due to gravity, the engine oil is all in the oil pan and has not yet fully lubricated all parts of the engine. At this time, when starting the engine, there is no oil film between the components, especially in areas such as the cylinder head and valves, leading to abnormal noise due to lack of lubrication. After the engine warms up, all parts are fully lubricated by the oil, and the noise disappears. Causes of abnormal noise: 1. Noise caused by valve tapping; 2. Noise due to the generator belt being too tight or too hard; 3. Noise caused by generator belt slippage; 4. Noise due to timing chain loosening.

How many days in advance is required to cancel Subject 2?

If you cancel the Subject 2 appointment online by yourself, it usually takes three to five days for the cancellation to be processed successfully. If you go to the DMV with your ID and file to cancel the appointment in person, the cancellation takes effect immediately. After successfully canceling an appointment, you can schedule the next exam at any time. The Subject 2 test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved road. The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include pile test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curved road, turning at a right angle, passing a width-limited gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy and foggy weather, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What are the reasons for increased car fuel consumption?

Reasons for increased car fuel consumption: 1. Engine carbon deposits: During long-term operation, gasoline inevitably produces carbon deposits and sludge during combustion. If these deposits are not cleaned in time, they will lead to increased fuel consumption; 2. Spark plug failure: If damaged, it will reduce ignition energy and cause uneven combustion of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in slower acceleration and increased fuel consumption; 3. Abnormal tire pressure: Improper tire pressure can also affect fuel consumption. When the tire pressure is too low or the tread is severely worn, the contact area between the tire and the road surface increases, leading to greater friction, increased rolling resistance, and naturally higher fuel consumption; 4. Poor fuel injector atomization: This situation may be caused by clogged fuel injectors, significantly affecting their performance, which also leads to increased fuel consumption.

How to Handle 12 Demerit Points?

If the demerit points for traffic violations reach 12 during the internship period, the driver's license will be directly revoked. If a driver accumulates 12 demerit points for violations within one scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate their motor vehicle driver's license. For non-internship periods, the driver is required to attend a 7-day traffic laws and regulations course within 30 days.

Can the engine mounts of Heyue RS be replaced with other engines?

The engine mounts of Heyue RS cannot be replaced with other engines. Engine models used in Heyue RS: The 1.5L engine is the HFC4GB2.3c engine independently developed by JAC. The HFC4GB2.3c gasoline engine is a 1.5L all-aluminum VVT gasoline engine independently developed by JAC Motors. This engine adopts new materials such as aluminum alloy cylinder block, plastic intake manifold, stainless steel exhaust manifold, plastic cylinder head cover, and aluminum alloy chain cover. It employs advanced technologies like variable valve timing (VVT), double overhead camshaft, 16 valves, timing chain drive, and integrated oil pump. New processes such as connecting rod fracture splitting and friction welding of plastic intake manifolds are also used, effectively improving the engine's power and fuel economy while reducing emissions and noise. The power per liter reaches 55.4kw/L, and the torque per liter reaches 97.4Nm/L, meeting China IV emissions standards with the potential for China V. The 1.8L engine is the 4G93D engine from Mitsubishi Dongan in Japan. It delivers strong power at low RPMs but weakens at high RPMs. Reasons for increased engine noise: 1. Coolant temperature: If the engine noise is loud, it could be due to high coolant temperature. Check if the coolant temperature gauge is normal and if there is any smoke coming from the engine compartment. Be sure to replace the coolant before winter. 2. Engine oil: If the vehicle's engine oil viscosity is too high, it can lead to operational issues in the engine, reducing lubrication effectiveness and causing increased engine noise.

How to Activate Cruise Control on the New LaCrosse?

The steps to activate cruise control on the new LaCrosse are: after reaching the cruise speed range, first press CRUISE, then press the DECELET button, and release the accelerator pedal to engage cruise control. Cruise control, also known as speed control system or autonomous driving system, automatically maintains the vehicle speed as set by the driver without requiring constant accelerator pedal input, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. The new LaCrosse is a mid-size sedan under SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 5026mm in length, 1866mm in width, and 1459mm in height, a wheelbase of 2905mm, featuring a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
