The reasons why a car displays 'Check Engine' are as follows: The message 'Check Engine System' means that the engine needs to be inspected to see if there is a fault in the emission system or an issue with the oxygen sensor. The owner should take the car to a 4S shop to read the fault code and identify the specific cause. Extension: 1. The engine consists of three major parts and five service systems: the engine block assembly, the crank-connecting rod mechanism, the valve train, the ignition system, the starting system, the lubrication system, the cooling system, and the fuel supply system. 2. The functions and basic components of each part are as follows: the engine block assembly supports the entire engine and also houses the crankcase, cylinders, etc.; the crank-connecting rod mechanism converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, which is then output, including components like the connecting rod and crankshaft; the valve train supplies fuel and air to the cylinders and expels exhaust gases, composed of components such as tappets, valves, and control circuits.

What number should I call if a vehicle is blocking the entrance?

Call 122 to report to the traffic police, then report the illegal parking and wait for the traffic police to tow the vehicle away. If the vehicle is not parked illegally, you can also call the owner to ask them to move the car. If you cannot find the owner's contact number, you can call 114. There is a service where you provide the operator with the brand and location of the vehicle, and the owner's phone will be directly connected to the vehicle owner's mobile, but the owner's number will not be disclosed. However, this method has a drawback: the owner of the provided vehicle license plate must have this service activated with China Unicom. If the owner is not registered, this method will not work. It's important to note that even if you cannot contact the owner, you should not damage the vehicle, as doing so would be illegal.

How to Bleed Air from a Car Radiator?

To bleed air from a car radiator, follow these steps: 1. Open the front hood and remove the thin hose located under the vehicle's top; 2. Start the engine and let it idle after filling the radiator halfway with water; 3. Continue adding water slowly until water flows out from the thin hose; 4. Reconnect the thin hose and fill the radiator completely with water; 5. Wait for the electric fan to turn on, then turn off the engine. Once the water temperature drops, check if more water is needed and top it up if necessary. The radiator, also known as a heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket to complete the cycle, thereby regulating the temperature.

Can a Scuffed Engine Cylinder Be Repaired?

Engine cylinder scuffing can be repaired, but it requires replacing all the piston rings. For vehicles with cylinder scuffing, a major engine overhaul is necessary, commonly referred to as "cylinder boring." Engine cylinder scuffing refers to the presence of noticeable longitudinal mechanical scratches and abrasions on the inner wall of the cylinder within the range of piston ring movement. In severe cases, adhesive wear may occur, leading to difficulties in starting the engine or causing it to stall unexpectedly. Cylinder scuffing is a major engine failure, and the root cause is the inability to form an oil film between the cylinder wall and the piston rings or pistons, resulting in poor lubrication or even dry friction. There are various specific reasons for engine cylinder scuffing, which can be broadly categorized into three aspects: 1. Piston assembly-related causes; 2. Cylinder liner-related causes; 3. Usage-related causes.

What are the functions of an automobile engine lubrication system?

The functions of an automobile engine lubrication system include lubrication and more. Below are the detailed explanations: Lubrication: Engine oil forms an oil film between moving parts, reducing friction resistance and power loss, and minimizing wear on components. Cooling: By utilizing the fluidity of engine oil, it carries away some of the heat from engine parts, preventing excessive temperatures and potential damage. Cleaning: Circulating engine oil carries away metal particles generated during engine operation, dust inhaled from the atmosphere, and some solid substances produced by fuel combustion, preventing the formation of abrasives between parts that could accelerate wear. Sealing: Using the viscosity of engine oil, it adheres to the surfaces of moving parts, enhancing the sealing effect and reducing gas leakage. Rust prevention: The lubricating oil film adheres to metal surfaces, isolating air and moisture, thereby providing rust and corrosion protection.

How to Replace a Car's Rearview Mirror Glass?

The method for replacing a car's rearview mirror glass is as follows: 1. Press the head of the mirror glass by hand to make the tail tilt up; 2. Grab the tail with your hand and pull it outward forcefully to remove the old mirror glass; 3. Use needle-nose pliers to strip the exposed metal wire insulation left on the rearview mirror; 4. Twist the copper wires at the end of the heating wire together respectively and wrap them with insulating tape; 5. Manually connect the metal buckle at the end of the heating wire to the socket above the black plastic holder on the back of the mirror glass; 6. Place the wired mirror glass into the rearview mirror housing and adjust its position; 7. Press gently and firmly until a click is heard, indicating that all buckles of the mirror glass are securely installed.

What is the Difference Between Xenon Headlights and Halogen Headlights?

Xenon headlights and halogen headlights differ in their structure: Xenon headlights do not have filaments; instead, they generate light through an arc produced between two electrodes. Halogen headlights have filaments and produce light via tungsten filaments. The principle of xenon headlights involves filling an ultraviolet-resistant quartz glass tube with various chemical gases, then using a booster to instantly increase the vehicle's 12-volt power supply to 23,000 volts. Under this high voltage, xenon gas is ionized, creating a light source between the two electrodes. The principle of halogen headlights involves injecting halogen gases such as iodine or bromine into the bulb. At high temperatures, the sublimated tungsten filament reacts chemically with the halogen, and upon cooling, the tungsten re-solidifies on the filament, forming a balanced cycle that prevents the filament from breaking prematurely.
