White smoke from a diesel engine exhaust pipe is caused by out-of-round pistons or cylinder liners, leading to excessive blow-by and oil burning. It is necessary to repair and inspect the roundness of the cylinder liners, piston rings, and the gap between piston ring ends. Diesel engines are internal combustion engines that generate power by burning diesel fuel. They were invented by German engineer Rudolf Diesel, and diesel fuel is named after him (Diesel). Diesel generators are known for their high torque and good fuel efficiency. The working process of a diesel engine is similar to that of a gasoline engine, with each cycle consisting of intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes.

How to Handle a Non-Responsive Motorcycle Start Button?

First, check if the motorcycle has power. Turn on the ignition switch; if there is power, skip this step. If there is no power, inspect the fuse, which is usually located near the battery, and try replacing it. Next, check if there is still gasoline. In cases where the motorcycle won't start, at least 10% of the time it's due to running out of fuel. You can pull out the fuel line to see if there is any gasoline left.

What is the penalty for driving without carrying the vehicle license?

"Not carrying the license" does not equate to "driving without a license." The traffic police department will not detain the person involved but will temporarily impound the vehicle. "Not carrying" is not the same as "not having." If the driver provides the driver's license and there are no other violations during driving, they will be given a warning or fined, and the vehicle will be promptly returned. If the driver provides the driver's license but commits other violations while driving, penalties will be imposed based on the nature of the violations and the failure to carry the license, and the vehicle will be promptly returned.

What to Do When Engine Temperature is High and Safe Parking is Required?

Check if there is excessive dust between the condenser and the radiator. Use high-pressure air to thoroughly clean them to ensure the radiator and condenser have good heat dissipation performance. When the engine is hot, check if the temperature difference between the upper and lower radiator hoses is too large. If the temperature difference is significant, inspect the thermostat's opening degree and whether the water pump has a speed loss fault. Depending on the power source, car engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid power systems, among others.

How many kilometers should the Malibu XL spark plugs be replaced?

The spark plugs of the Malibu XL should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if the spark plugs are damaged: Remove the spark plugs and observe them. The condition of the spark plugs can be judged based on their appearance and color. Normal spark plugs have a skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a skirt that is reddish-brown, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plugs are covered with oil or deposits but are not damaged, they can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plugs are severely damaged, showing signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plugs with new ones. Additionally, if the spark plugs appear black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong cold/hot type was selected or that the mixture is too rich, with oil seeping up.
