Water in the air filter indicates the possibility of water entering the engine. This situation may lead to hydro-lock in the engine. The first step is to turn off the engine, open the air filter housing, clean out the water (check if there is water in the cylinders), and then take the vehicle to a professional repair shop for a basic cleanup. Afterward, replace the water-soaked air filter. Engine Oil and Oil Filter: Engine Oil and Oil Filter: Primarily involves maintenance of the lubrication system. The main function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. Air Filter: The role of the air filter is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter generally needs to be replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 kilometers.

Is driving at 40 km/h in second gear harmful to a manual transmission car?

Driving at 40 km/h in second gear is harmful to a manual transmission car. Occasional instances of such driving will not have a substantial impact on the vehicle's performance or overall lifespan. However, if this driving habit is maintained frequently, it will affect the vehicle's durability. Speed range for each gear: The maximum speed for each gear is related to the vehicle's speed. For sedans, it is generally recommended not to exceed the following speed ranges for each gear: first gear - 20 km/h; second gear - 40 km/h; third gear - 60 km/h; fourth gear - 80 km/h; fifth gear - above 80 km/h. Engine: An engine (Engine) is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc.

What is the reason for a lot of engine oil inside the PCV valve even though it is not broken?

There is a lot of engine oil inside the PCV valve even though it is not broken because: engine oil vapor condenses when it meets cold air. Turbocharger issue: If the vehicle is equipped with a turbocharger, the issue lies with the turbocharger. For non-turbocharged engines, the problem is with the valve cover, which needs to be replaced. Due to prolonged imbalance between the intake pressure and the pressure inside the turbocharger bearing housing, engine oil inside the turbocharger leaks into the compressor under the pressure difference through the seals. Intake manifold: The intake manifold is the passage through which air enters the engine block and flows toward the cylinders. It mainly consists of channels designed in the cylinder head. At the very end of the intake manifold is the intake valve, which controls the air intake.

Is It Illegal to Modify the Shape of Headlights?

Traffic regulations stipulate that vehicle appearance cannot be altered arbitrarily. The shape of headlights is also part of the vehicle's appearance, and modifying headlights can be either legal or illegal. Car Headlights: Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of a car. They not only relate to the owner's external image but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of headlights should not be overlooked. Modification Methods: Increasing power or adding spotlights is a low-cost method, but its effectiveness is limited. Replacing a 50W headlight with a 100W one does not simply double the brightness; it only increases it slightly. Since the circuit is not designed for a 100W bulb, the corresponding increase in circuit loss will cause the voltage at both ends of the headlight to drop, leading to an increased load on the circuit and creating potential safety hazards.

What transmission does the Hongqi H5 use?

Hongqi H5 uses Aisin's 6AT transmission. There are three common types of automatic transmissions: AT transmission, CVT transmission, and dual-clutch transmission. Among them, the principle of AT transmission is to achieve speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combination, and gear shifting is realized by locking and unlocking the connection between planetary gears and the transmission output shaft. Taking the 2020 Automatic Zhilian Qichang Edition Hongqi H5 as an example: its body dimensions are 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2875mm, front track of 1600mm, rear track of 1590mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. The front suspension of the 2020 Automatic Zhilian Qichang Edition Hongqi H5 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.

Can I choose not to buy car insurance if I don't plan to drive temporarily?

If the car owner has matters to attend to and leaves the car parked in the garage for a year or even longer without driving it, they can choose not to purchase insurance during this period. Note that car insurance must be purchased during the annual vehicle inspection. If even compulsory traffic insurance is not purchased, the inspection cannot be passed. Driving a vehicle without an inspection is illegal. Car owners can decide whether to purchase car insurance based on their actual situation. If car insurance is not renewed for more than three months, it will automatically lapse. After the lapse, when purchasing insurance again, the owner will no longer be eligible for preferential policies, as the discount for the next year is determined by the claims history of the previous year. After a lapse, the insurance is calculated as if it were the first year, with all benefits returning to the original state. If the car owner causes a traffic accident during the lapse period, the insurance company generally will not compensate, and the uninsured owner will face huge compensation costs.
