It may be caused by water ingress in the car's sill or due to incomplete air bleeding in the cooling system where the radiator is installed at a higher position. Below is a detailed explanation: Introduction: The water flow sound from the front of the car is generally caused by incomplete air bleeding in the cooling system where the radiator is installed at a higher position or a clogged air conditioning drain. Solution: When the vehicle is parked, rev the engine hard to activate the electric fan several times, then open the radiator cap to release air, taking care to avoid burns from high water temperatures. Alternatively, check if there is water ingress inside the car's sill. Typically, there are rubber plugs at the bottom of the sill, and the door drain is located at the very bottom when the door is opened. You can inspect these areas.

What is the replacement method for auto start-stop batteries?

The replacement method for auto start-stop batteries is: 1. Prepare a backup battery for jump-start connection to prevent vehicle circuit power failure; 2. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. The characteristics of auto start-stop are: 1. The engine can automatically shut off, reducing fuel consumption and emissions; 2. After the engine shuts off, the power supply can replace the pulley to provide operating power for the engine cooling fan and in-car air conditioning. Precautions for using auto start-stop are: 1. Quickly shift to P gear and release the brake when the engine stops; 2. Reduce current consumption; 3. Do not repeatedly press the brake when the engine is off; 4.

What is the working principle of continuously variable transmission?

The working principle of continuously variable transmission is: using a hydraulic torque converter to generate torques of different strengths, thereby transmitting torque to achieve continuously variable transmission. Types of continuously variable transmissions: 1. Mechanical: There are various forms, the most common being the cone-block metal V-belt type transmission, used in automobiles; 2. Hydraulic transmission type: used in engineering vehicles and agricultural machinery; 3. Electric type: used in electric vehicles. Starting devices for automotive continuously variable transmissions include: 1. Electromagnetic clutch type: large in mass and size, with low thermal load capacity; 2. Electronically controlled wet friction plate type: small in structural size, fast in response, and with low energy loss; 3. Hydraulic torque converter type: large starting torque, good hill-start performance, easy driving, good driving performance, and capable of reducing vibration and impact caused by uneven engine torque.

Is there a situation where 12 points are deducted within six years of the driver's license?

There is a situation where 12 points are deducted within six years of the driver's license. The following are the circumstances for the renewal of the motor vehicle driver's license: 1. If the points do not reach 12 in a cycle: If the motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license will be renewed with a ten-year validity period. If the motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, the driver's license will be renewed with a long-term validity period. 2. If there is a cycle with 12 points: The driver's license needs to be renewed after six years. If 12 points are accumulated in any scoring cycle during the six years, the driver's license can only be renewed with a six-year validity period, not a ten-year validity period.

Can an automatic transmission car be pushed in neutral?

An automatic transmission car should not be pushed in neutral, as doing so will reduce the vehicle's braking force and pose a safety hazard. Automatic transmissions include P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), L (Low), and S (Sport) gears, and their characteristics are: 1. Easy to operate, simple to learn, and easy to master driving techniques; 2. High driving comfort with relatively smooth gear shifting; 3. High safety factor, reducing driver fatigue. The steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the second ignition position (power mode), waiting for the system self-check to complete; 2. Shift the gear lever from P to N; 3. Release the brake and start the car's engine; 4. Press the brake pedal with your foot, shift the gear lever from N to D, release the brake, and press the accelerator to start.
