The reasons why the car starter occasionally does not respond are as follows: 1. Faulty solenoid switch: Common faults of the solenoid switch generally include short circuits, open circuits, and grounding of the pull-in coil and hold-in coil, as well as burning of the contact disc and contacts. Whether the coil is open or grounded can be checked by measuring resistance with an ohmmeter. 2. Slipping of the one-way clutch: The main component of the transmission mechanism is the one-way clutch, which transmits torque in one direction only, specifically from the starter to the engine flywheel. This prevents the flywheel from driving the starter motor to overspeed and causing damage after the engine starts.

What Causes the Trunk of a Mercedes-Benz to Not Close Properly?

Mercedes-Benz trunks typically feature automatic tailgates. If the trunk cannot be closed manually, it is likely due to a faulty lock. Adjusting the lock pin and latch may help. It is advisable to seek assistance from a professional auto repair shop or an authorized 4S dealership to avoid excessive force that could damage the door. Further details are as follows: 1. Taking the new Mercedes-Benz C200L as an example, its exterior design retains the design language of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class family post-mid-cycle refresh. The LED light sources inside the headlights are arranged in a neat linear pattern, complemented by the daytime running light strips, creating a sharp and eye-catching appearance. The side profile and rear design remain largely unchanged from the current model, with C-shaped LED light strips outlining the edges of the taillights. 2. Additionally, depending on the variant, the new model offers a variety of wheel designs for consumers to choose from. The vehicle is rear-wheel drive, powered by the M264 series 1.5T engine with a maximum output of 115kW (156PS). The transmission system is expected to remain consistent with the current model, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. 3. According to the parameter information of the new C200L model from the MIIT fuel consumption inquiry system, the 1.5T engine's performance parameters match those of the current C180L model's M274 series 1.6T engine. It is anticipated that the new model will replace the current C180L as the entry-level variant of the new C-Class lineup.

Can Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil Last for 10,000 Kilometers?

Generally, semi-synthetic engine oil needs to be replaced after about 7,500 kilometers. Below is relevant information: 1. If it is fully synthetic engine oil, it can last for 10,000 kilometers without any issues. This is because fully synthetic oil contains higher levels of additives (TBN), which extends the oil's lifespan. In contrast, semi-synthetic oil has lower additive (TBN) content, resulting in a shorter maintenance cycle. Prolonged use can negatively impact the engine. 2. The main difference between fully synthetic and semi-synthetic oil lies in the fact that fully synthetic oil can operate over a wider temperature range and has a longer service life. For the same oil film requirements, fully synthetic oil can achieve the desired performance with lower viscosity, whereas semi-synthetic oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same standards. In terms of cost, semi-synthetic oil is definitely cheaper.
