When the car's air conditioning is turned on, a water sound can be heard. This sound is produced as water flows through the heater core. Check if the engine coolant is low. In such cases, you can first add antifreeze, then press the accelerator a couple of times to let the engine run at high speed, which helps expel air from the system. Additional Information: 1. Function of Car Air Conditioning: It is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to an optimal state, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and reducing travel fatigue. It also creates favorable working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. Generally, it includes cooling, heating, and ventilation systems. This integrated system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, featuring a simple structure and easy operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally. 2. Components of Car Air Conditioning: It mainly consists of the compressor, electromagnetic clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipes, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. The car air conditioning system is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure lines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure pipes, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid lines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return pipes, compressor input side, and compressor oil pan.

How Long Should You Drive to Recharge a Dead Battery?

After the battery is dead, using the car's alternator to fully recharge the battery requires maintaining an engine speed of over 2000 RPM, and the car needs to be driven for at least 4 hours. Signs of a failing car battery are as follows: 1. Difficulty starting the car: If the car suddenly has trouble starting without other factors, it may be a sign that the battery is about to fail. 2. Dimming lights when idling: For example, when waiting at a red light or temporarily parked, the headlights suddenly dim. This is because the charging power of the engine decreases during idling. 3. Battery warning light illuminates: When the battery warning light comes on, it alerts the owner to have the battery inspected and repaired at a service center. 4. Normal driving but occasionally no power after parking and restarting: This happens because as the battery nears the end of its life, the starting current is insufficient, leading to increased oxidation at the battery terminals, resulting in a complete loss of power.

How Often Should the Tires of a Scooter Be Replaced?

The standard for replacing scooter tires mainly depends on their wear condition and personal needs, and is not necessarily related to the mileage driven, which is more of an auxiliary data point. Generally, motorcycle tires should be replaced every 3 years or after 60,000 kilometers. Based on the driving conditions of a vehicle on good roads, the original tires can last for 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers without issues. However, in actual usage, due to factors like tire quality and driving habits, problems such as cracking, uneven wear, bulging, and slow leaks may occur. In such cases, replacing the tires becomes necessary for riding safety and comfort. Below are some considerations when purchasing and using tires: When buying tires, always check the production date: If the production date is too old, do not purchase the tire. Tires are rubber products and will age even if not used. During regular use, frequently check tire pressure and the surface for any damage: The sidewalls of tires are relatively fragile; if they are cut or punctured, they cannot be repaired. It is recommended that owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is low.
