Reasons for N13 engine vibration in BMW 1 Series: Engine misfire; Worn or loose engine mounts; Carbon buildup issues. Detailed explanations of these causes: Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly, typically manifested as noticeable intermittent exhaust gas flow and severe exhaust pipe vibration. Worn or loose engine mounts: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and frame. Once these mounts become worn or loose, engine vibration will become abnormally severe. Carbon buildup issues: When there's excessive carbon buildup in the engine, it affects the vehicle's ignition energy, air intake efficiency, and fuel-air mixture, leading to unstable power output and vibration during both idling and acceleration.

Should Unused Summer Windshield Washer Fluid Be Replaced in Winter?

Whether to replace unused summer windshield washer fluid in winter depends on the local temperature conditions. If the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to switch to antifreeze windshield washer fluid. Introduction to Windshield Washer Fluid: Windshield washer fluid, also known as wiper fluid, is a type of cleaning solution for car windshields. It is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Functions of Windshield Washer Fluid: Cleaning: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives, providing functions such as wetting, penetration, solubilization, and dirt decomposition, effectively cleaning and removing grime. Antifreeze: The alcohol and ethylene glycol in the fluid lower the freezing point of the liquid, not only preventing freezing but also dissolving frost. Anti-fog: The fluid forms a single-molecule protective layer on the glass surface, preventing the formation of fog droplets on the windshield and ensuring clear driving visibility. Anti-static: After cleaning the windshield, the substances adhering to the glass surface eliminate static charges, giving the fluid anti-static properties. Lubrication: The ethylene glycol in the fluid has high viscosity, providing lubrication to reduce friction between the wiper blades and the glass, preventing scratches.

What are the dimensions of the FAW Bestune T99?

Bestune T99 has a length, width, and height of 4800mm/1915mm/1685mm, which are official data. The length of the Bestune T99 refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the most protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the most rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The turbocharged engine of the Bestune T99 has a maximum power of 165kW and a maximum torque of 340Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 4500 to 5500 rpm and its maximum torque at 1650 to 4500 rpm. It is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral space for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in the national standard is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

Does an AT Transmission Slip Require a Major Overhaul?

Transmission slipping must be repaired, and you should not continue driving. Here are the specific details: Causes of slipping: Severe wear of the clutch, brake, or one-way clutch, excessive clearance of the clutch plates leading to slipping. Adding too much transmission fluid, which generates a large amount of foam when vigorously stirred by the planetary gears, causing slipping. Using non-specified transmission fluid, as some inferior fluids can accelerate the aging, swelling, or failure of internal transmission seals, resulting in slipping. Symptoms of transmission slipping: When starting, pressing the accelerator pedal results in high engine RPM but slow vehicle acceleration. During driving, pressing the accelerator deeply leads to slow speed increase. When climbing a slope, the engine RPM is high, but the vehicle moves slowly.

Can New Energy Vehicles Run 300,000 Kilometers?

New energy vehicles cannot run 300,000 kilometers. The range is typically 100-300 kilometers, with high-end models like Tesla reaching 300-500 kilometers, while mainstream models range from 100-300 kilometers. However, these vehicles utilize new types of onboard power systems, integrating advanced technologies in power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures. Note 1: Based on China's 2020 vehicle ownership of 140 million units, it is estimated to save 32.29 million tons of petroleum and replace 31.10 million tons, totaling 63.39 million tons of petroleum saved and replaced, equivalent to reducing automotive fuel demand by 22.7%. Note 2: Before 2020, petroleum savings and replacements were primarily achieved through the development of advanced diesel vehicles and hybrid vehicles. By 2030, the development of new energy vehicles is expected to save 73.06 million tons of petroleum.
