Automotive NVH, where H specifically refers to Harshness. Automotive NVH decibels refer to Noise, Vibration, and Harshness, which is also the English abbreviation for Noise–Vibration–Harshness. This is a comprehensive measure of automotive manufacturing quality and provides the most direct and superficial experience for car users. Below is an introduction to NVH: 1. Characteristics: The study of NVH characteristics is not only applicable to the entire new car development process but also to research aimed at improving the ride comfort of existing models. It involves modeling and analyzing a specific system or assembly of a car to identify the factors that most affect ride comfort, then improving the vibration conditions of the excitation source (reducing amplitude or shifting frequency) or controlling the transmission of vibration and noise from the excitation source into the car cabin to enhance ride comfort. 2. Relationship: The generation of automotive vibration and noise is not independent but closely related. It can be said that noise originates from vibration, and these three factors—vibration, noise, and comfort—are closely interconnected. The goal is to reduce vibration and noise while improving ride comfort, ensuring product safety, environmental friendliness, and performance.

What Causes Difficulty in Starting a Cold Car?

Difficulty in starting a cold car is due to: 1. Engine temperature being too low: The internal temperature of the engine is insufficient, and the internal oil and lubricants have not reached their optimal lubrication state. In low-temperature conditions, the engine's ignition capability decreases, leading to difficulty in starting; 2. Excessive engine carbon deposits: Prolonged use of the engine without timely cleaning leads to carbon buildup, which can clog the exhaust pipe and absorb fuel, reducing the engine's efficiency; 3. Aging spark plugs: Long-term use of spark plugs can lead to aging, causing deviations in the spark plug's ignition gap. The replacement cycle for spark plugs is approximately every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers; 4. Faulty water temperature sensor: If the water temperature sensor malfunctions, the vehicle's computer will make incorrect judgments, resulting in reduced fuel injection by the engine. This leads to insufficient engine power and prevents the engine from reaching an optimal operating state.

Is Full Car Polishing Good?

Full car polishing is not recommended. Full car polishing treatment will make the car paint thinner and thinner, and may even lead to polishing through. The number of polishing times for a car should preferably not exceed 5. Correct method for car paint polishing: First, clean the surface of the car paint with car wash liquid. Ensure that hard impurities such as dust are removed, otherwise they may wear the car paint during the grinding process. Then use water sandpaper to roughly grind the surface of the car paint. Do not over-grind, as this may damage the paint surface. Choose an appropriate grinder and add polishing wax for polishing. After polishing, mirror restoration is required. Wipe the polished area with a mirror treatment agent. Precautions for car paint polishing: When polishing, adhere to the principle of "rather slow than fast, rather light than heavy" to avoid exposing the primer. Before polishing the paint surface, it is recommended to wipe it with clay bar to remove surface particles and pollutants attached to the paint; when polishing the front hood, cover the front windshield with a large towel or masking film to avoid polishing wax sticking to the glass seal and wipers, which is difficult to remove. Control the speed of the polishing machine and do not exceed the selected speed range. Maintain consistency in the polishing direction and follow a certain order. Change the sponge wheel when changing the polishing agent, and do not mix sponge wheels.

Effects of Overfilling Engine Oil in a Car?

Effects of overfilling engine oil in a car include: 1. Various engine components may experience increased vibration during operation; 2. Increased internal power loss within the engine; 3. More oil splashing onto cylinder walls, potentially causing oil burning and exhaust smoke issues; 4. Creates additional resistance to crankshaft rotation; 5. Impacts power output and increases fuel consumption; 6. Reduces oil seal lifespan, potentially leading to engine oil leaks; 7. Worsens exhaust emissions and affects the longevity of the catalytic converter. Functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication to reduce wear; 2. Auxiliary cooling; 3. Cleaning and contaminant removal; 4. Sealing to prevent leaks; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention; 6. Shock absorption and cushioning.

What is the fuel consumption of the Peugeot 508?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Peugeot 508 is 6-6.1L/100km. Currently, there are 5 models of the Peugeot 508 on sale: the Pioneer Edition and the Drive Fun Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6L/100km. The Sport Edition, Passion Edition, and Drive Control Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-8.8L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight will also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What happens if a car runs out of engine oil?

Running out of engine oil will cause the engine components to rub against each other and become damaged, leading to engine failure. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies of the base oil, adding certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. The functions of engine oil in a car: 1. Lubrication: Forms an oil film to prevent excessive wear of parts; 2. Auxiliary cooling: Takes the heat generated by combustion in the engine back to the oil tank to dissipate into the air; 3. Cleaning: Flushes away dirt produced on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of lubricating oil; 4. Sealing and leak prevention: Forms a seal between the piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering.

What are the effects of too much or too little engine oil on the engine?

The effects of too much or too little engine oil on the engine are: 1. Too much engine oil: During operation, various components of the engine will experience intense agitation, increasing internal power loss and causing more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning and exhaust issues; 2. Too little engine oil: Friction between bearings and journals may suffer from poor lubrication due to insufficient oil, accelerating wear and even causing bearing seizure accidents. Engine oil, or lubricating oil, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, adding certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.
