Car engine sometimes makes noise reasons are as follows: Valve leakage noise: Valve leakage noise occurs outside the valve chamber, mainly due to improper operation during valve seat reaming or excessive wear of the valve guide inner hole, causing the valve seat to tilt or the valve clearance to be too small, resulting in valve burning and incomplete valve closure leading to leakage noise. Valve tapping noise: During engine idle operation, a continuous tapping sound occurs between the valve stem tail and its driving component, which intensifies with increasing speed. The noise does not change with engine temperature variation or ignition interruption. Valve seat noise: The valve seat ring surface is rough, processing precision is unqualified, improper selection of seat ring interference causes looseness, improper material selection leads to excessive deformation after heating, or the valve seat fitting process does not meet requirements.

How long is the lifespan of the Baojun CVT transmission?

The service life of the Baojun CVT transmission can reach 300,000 kilometers. The main components of the CVT system include the driving pulley set, driven pulley set, metal belt, and hydraulic pump. This type of transmission uses the coordination between the driving and driven pulleys to transmit power, achieving optimal matching between the transmission system and engine conditions. Since the CVT transmission lacks the gear wheels found in conventional automatic transmissions, gear shifts are smoother, providing linear power output and a notably smooth driving experience. Theoretically, CVT transmissions can have an unlimited number of gear ratios, allowing for more flexible gear settings, making it easier to achieve a balance between gear ratio, speed ratio, performance, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions. However, as CVT transmissions have not been used in automobiles for a very long time, their maintenance costs are relatively high, and they have limited torque capacity.

What Causes a Gasoline Engine to Stall When Accelerating?

Gasoline engine stalling during acceleration may be caused by a dirty or clogged air filter, or a dirty throttle body with insufficient opening, leading to inadequate air intake. This results in incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture and engine stalling. For such issues, it's best to consult professionals at a 4S shop. Precautions before starting the engine: 1. Avoid operating without coolant: Adding coolant after starting the engine may cause critical components like cylinder liners and cylinder heads to crack or deform due to sudden cooling. Similarly, pouring 100°C boiling water into a cold engine block may cause cylinder head or block cracking. 2. Avoid improper fuel supply procedure: The throttle lever should be set to the fuel supply position before starting, not during or after startup. Incorrect procedure may cause excessive unburned diesel in cylinders, forming carbon deposits.

What are the alignment techniques for parallel parking?

Parallel parking techniques include keeping the car body not too close to the garage and accurately steering while aligning with reference lines. The detailed explanation of parallel parking techniques is as follows: Keep the car body not too close to the garage: Adjust the distance between the car body and the edge of the garage, as well as the distance between the car body and the garage, ensuring it is not too close. Steer accurately while aligning with reference lines: When steering, align accurately with the reference lines, and turn on the left turn signal after entering the garage. Maintain a 30 cm distance between the right side of the car body and the garage: Keep the right side of the car body 30 cm away from the garage, parallel to the garage, and stop at the front end of the garage. Adjust the left and right rearview mirrors: Lower the left rearview mirror as much as possible to see the left rear wheel, while the right rearview mirror should just show the car body. Adjust the interior rearview mirror: Adjust it so that when you look up, you can see the middle of the rear windshield.
