It is normal for a car to produce a buzzing sound after the engine is turned off. This sound may originate from the turbocharger or could be due to noise when the automatic parking system engages during braking. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. After prolonged high-speed operation, the engine temperature rises significantly, making the engine very hot and causing it to emit a buzzing sound. You can try waiting for a while before turning off the engine instead of shutting it down immediately. 2. The sound might come from the three-way catalytic converter, which operates at temperatures close to 1000 degrees Celsius. After shutdown, the internal metal components undergo thermal expansion and contraction. If none of the above applies, it could indicate a vehicle malfunction, and you should have it inspected promptly.

What maintenance is needed for a car at 30,000 kilometers?

After a car has traveled 30,000 kilometers, it requires a major maintenance service. The maintenance items generally include the following: 1. Replace the engine oil and oil filter: This is a routine maintenance task and is almost always performed during any maintenance service. Replacing the engine oil and oil filter enhances engine lubrication, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently. 2. Replace the air filter: After 30,000 kilometers, debris can clog the air filter, affecting the normal operation of the car's air conditioning system. 3. Check the coolant: Coolant is a consumable that protects the engine from overheating and prevents 'boiling' issues. 4. Clean the engine: Add a professional engine cleaner and let the vehicle idle for about 15 minutes to help extend the engine's lifespan. 5. Inspect the transmission: Check if the transmission is functioning properly and if the transmission fluid is at the correct level. 6. Inspect the braking system: Examine the wear on the brake pads and ensure the brake fluid level is normal. 7. Check the tires: Inspect the tire pressure of both the main and spare tires, as well as any signs of wear. 8. Check the lights: Ensure the tail lights, warning lights, turn signals, and high/low beams are functioning correctly. 9. Clean carbon deposits: Removing carbon deposits can improve vehicle performance and reduce fuel consumption.

Which is More Fuel-Efficient: Turbocharged or Naturally Aspirated Engines?

In urban driving conditions, naturally aspirated engines are more fuel-efficient, while turbocharged engines perform better on highways. Below are the differences between turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines: 1. Power: With the same displacement, turbocharged engines deliver stronger power than naturally aspirated ones. 2. Maintenance: The higher power output of turbocharged engines may lead to faster performance and reliability degradation compared to naturally aspirated engines, resulting in higher maintenance costs over time. 3. Fuel Consumption: Under the same displacement, turbocharged engines tend to have worse fuel efficiency than naturally aspirated engines in city driving. However, they are more fuel-efficient on highways. 4. Manufacturing Cost: Turbochargers introduce an additional component, and due to their high-temperature, high-pressure working environment, they require higher-grade materials and precision manufacturing, making turbocharged engines more expensive than naturally aspirated ones.

What is the remote control matching method for Mazda 6?

Mazda 6 key matching method is as follows: 1. Close all doors and open the driver's side door. 2. Insert the key into the ignition switch and complete three operations of turning the ignition switch on and off within 5 seconds. 3. Then close and open the door three times. On the third time the door is opened, the door lock switch will activate once. 4. Press the lock button on the remote twice, and the door lock switch will activate once again. 5. Remove the key, the door lock switch will activate twice, and the alarm horn will sound twice, indicating that the remote control matching is successful. Here is another method for Mazda 6 key matching: Mazda 6 can also choose to go to a 4S shop for matching. Using the 4S shop's dedicated computer and vehicle connection, the engine number, frame number, production year and other information of the vehicle can be read out, and then the password matching can be performed. After the smart card is matched, the key can be matched.

What is the working principle of car air conditioning?

The working principle of car air conditioning mainly consists of the following four processes: 1. Compression process: The compressor sucks in the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas at the outlet of the evaporator and compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is then discharged from the compressor. 2. Heat dissipation process: The high-temperature and high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas enters the condenser, where it condenses into a liquid due to the reduction in pressure and temperature, releasing a large amount of heat. 3. Throttling process: The higher-temperature and higher-pressure refrigerant liquid passes through the expansion device, causing its volume to increase, and its pressure and temperature to drop sharply, exiting the expansion device in a mist form (fine droplets). 4. Heat absorption process: The mist-like refrigerant liquid enters the evaporator, where, since the boiling point of the refrigerant is much lower than the temperature inside the evaporator, the refrigerant liquid evaporates into a gas. During the evaporation process, it absorbs a large amount of surrounding heat, and then the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor re-enters the compressor. This cycle repeats continuously, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the temperature of the air around the evaporator.

Where is the Insurance and Vehicle and Vessel Tax Certificate?

"Compulsory Traffic Insurance Policy" serves as the "Vehicle and Vessel Tax Certificate." Currently, the vehicle and vessel tax paid when purchasing a car is generally bundled with compulsory traffic insurance. Therefore, when purchasing compulsory traffic insurance, the vehicle and vessel tax must also be paid in full, and the invoice is issued on the same document. More information about the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Certificate is as follows: 1. The Vehicle and Vessel Tax Certificate is usually listed separately in the "Withholding Vehicle and Vessel Tax" section at the bottom right corner of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, showing the amount of tax paid, which is officially recognized. 2. Photo of the 12123 Vehicle and Vessel Tax Certificate. The photo of the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Certificate is mainly used to apply for an inspection-exempt label on the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app. Many car owners are unsure where to take this photo. In fact, the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Certificate is included in the compulsory traffic insurance policy. Simply take out the compulsory traffic insurance policy and clearly photograph the information in the "Withholding Vehicle and Vessel Tax" section to submit it.

What Causes Shaking When an Automatic Transmission is in D Gear?

Shaking when an automatic transmission is in D gear originates from the transmission because the gear is in D, which is the power connection state. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission: 1. The S gear is not a cure-all. Typically, the S gear is used when overtaking at high speeds. 2. For prolonged stops at red lights, use the foot brake. If waiting at an intersection for an extended period, it's advisable to shift the car into N gear and engage the handbrake. Keeping the foot on the brake for too long can cause the fuel temperature in the transmission to rise excessively. 3. Frequent pressing of the accelerator consumes more fuel. If the driver deliberately presses the accelerator hard during normal driving, the automatic transmission's computer may interpret this as a need to accelerate for overtaking, thus downshifting to increase torque. Frequently pressing the accelerator hard not only increases fuel consumption but also accelerates abnormal wear on the automatic transmission gearbox.
