Engine number refers to the engine serial number. The engine number typically includes information such as the engine model, production date, and place of origin code. Each engine has a unique serial number, making it a crucial piece of vehicle documentation that facilitates engine management by manufacturers and vehicle administration departments. Special attention should be paid to changes in the engine number during routine maintenance or engine replacement. Below is relevant information about engines: 1. Engine components: valve train; crankshaft connecting rod mechanism; ignition system; cooling system; lubrication system; starting system; fuel supply system. 2. Engine function: generates power by fully burning fuel in the cylinders; determines the vehicle's power performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. 3. Engine maintenance methods: use qualified engine oil; use qualified coolant and antifreeze; regularly clean radiator scale; regularly remove engine carbon deposits; regularly replace the three automotive filters; maintain reasonable engine speed.

What causes the car DSC warning light to illuminate?

DSC stands for Dynamic Stability Control, while DTC refers to the Dynamic Traction Control system, which primarily activates when tire slippage occurs during driving. Below is additional information about common warning lights: 1. Seatbelt reminder light: Most modern vehicles are equipped with this feature. An unsecured seatbelt triggers a red icon depicting a small figure with a diagonal belt across its chest on the instrument panel. The light extinguishes upon fastening the seatbelt or exiting the vehicle. 2. Oil pressure warning light: Represented by a red oil can icon with a droplet at its spout, this indicator signals abnormal oil pressure conditions. Low oil level will also activate this warning. If illuminated while driving, immediate cessation of operation is required. 3. Engine malfunction light: When this warning appears, it indicates general engine issues that permit continued driving but necessitate prompt service attention.

What Causes Abnormalities in the Engine Fuel Supply System?

Causes of abnormal fuel supply in a car engine are as follows: 1. Clogged air valve or vapor valve in the fuel tank cap. 2. Clogged fuel filter. 3. Damaged fuel pump: failure of inlet and outlet valves, ruptured diaphragm, excessive clearance between outer and inner rocker arms. 4. Air or fuel leaks in the fuel system, dented or clogged fuel lines. 5. Water in the fuel lines. 6. Vapor lock. Repair methods include: 1. Measuring fuel pressure. 2. Removing and inspecting fuel injectors. Check each injector for leaks. Clean or replace injectors if abnormalities are found. 3. Inspecting the ignition system. Check ignition voltage and energy, as well as ignition timing. 7. Clogged carburetor fuel inlet or filter screen. 8. Clogged carburetor fuel passages or stuck inlet needle valve.

Can modifications be made after purchasing a car?

Yes, as long as they comply with regulations. More information on legal modifications is as follows: 1. Color change: As China gradually becomes a major automotive country with an increasingly rich car culture, current policies and regulations have been somewhat relaxed. However, seats cannot be altered at will. Although they are rarely checked, changing either the number or functionality of seats (such as installing sport seats) is not allowed. 2. Rims: These can also be modified, but sedans cannot be fitted with sport-style rims that are one inch larger, as such modifications will not pass annual inspections. Brake calipers can be modified, and installing roof racks, entry/exit steps, replacing radiator grilles and bumpers, and changing rims are also legal. However, there are prerequisites for these modifications. Firstly, modifications can be made to the body color, engine, fuel type, and chassis number, among others. Of course, these modifications are not without limits and must adhere to specific regulations.

Does Using Natural Air in a Car Consume Fuel?

Turning on the "natural air" in the car does not consume fuel. Here is some relevant information about car air conditioning: 1. Introduction to Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning system (air-conditioning-device), commonly referred to as car AC, is used to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to optimal conditions. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creates good working conditions for the driver, playing an important role in ensuring safe driving. 2. Car Air Conditioning System: It generally includes a cooling device, heating device, and ventilation device. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, with a simple structure and easy operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally.

What Causes White Oxidation Spots on Engine Blocks?

The reasons for white oxidation spots appearing on engine blocks are as follows: 1. If it's a new imported car, the engine may oxidize. Vehicles shipped from overseas to China are typically transported by sea. The air and seawater at sea contain high salt content, which inevitably adheres to the vehicle during transportation, causing some corrosion and leading to engine oxidation. 2. Spot-like white corrosion is usually aluminum oxide. Many aluminum alloy engine blocks and cylinder heads may corrode over time when exposed to coolant, battery acid, or water. 3. Minor corrosion does not affect engine performance. 4. If the appearance is a concern, the white corrosion can be wiped off after the engine cools down. 5. To prevent future exposure to the aforementioned corrosive substances.

Is it necessary to repaint a scratched door handle?

It is necessary, as untimely car paint repair can quickly lead to rust. Severe rust on a car can reduce the body's rigidity and strength, causing more serious damage and deformation in the event of an accident, which poses a significant safety hazard for driving. More extended information is as follows: 1. Overview: The primary function of car paint is to protect the vehicle body from corrosion. Additionally, car paint enhances the vehicle's aesthetic appeal. Car paint is also a type of coating. The purpose of a spray booth is to provide a clean, safe, and well-lit painting environment for car painting operations, ensuring that the spraying process is free from dust interference and guarantees the quality of the paint job. 2. Composition: Car paint mainly consists of resin, pigment, additives, fillers, curing agents, solvents, etc. Metallic car paint typically includes reflective metal flakes (aluminum powder), while pearlescent paint usually contains mica particles.
