The turbocharging in cars means that the exhaust gas is not directly discharged into the atmosphere, but instead drives the turbocharger to pressurize the intake air, thereby improving intake efficiency. It can also increase power and reduce fuel consumption. Precautions for using turbocharging: 1. The engine oil for turbocharged engines must be of higher quality, capable of withstanding high temperatures and having good oxidation resistance. Additionally, the oil change interval should be shortened accordingly to maintain the lubrication and cooling effects of the oil on the turbocharger. 2. Turbocharged cars are equipped with oil coolers and intake system cooling devices to lower the temperature of the turbocharger. The radiator and thermostat should also be appropriately enlarged to improve thermal efficiency, thereby fully enhancing the cooling conditions of the turbocharged engine. 3. Do not shut off the engine immediately. After the engine has been running at high speed, immediately shutting it off will cause a sharp decrease in the oil supply to the turbocharger bearings. At this time, the turbocharger is still running at high speed due to inertia. The lack of lubrication and cooling for the bearings under high temperature and high speed can be fatal damage.

How Often Should Car Bearings Be Replaced?

There is no fixed replacement interval for car bearings; they only need to be replaced when damaged. Bearings in cars are maintenance-free and do not require grease replacement. The main function of wheel hub bearings is to bear loads and provide precise guidance for the rotation of the wheel hub. They withstand both axial and radial loads, making them a very important component. The wheel hub bearing unit has evolved from standard angular contact ball bearings and tapered roller bearings, integrating two sets of bearings into one. It offers advantages such as excellent assembly performance, elimination of clearance adjustment, lightweight, compact structure, high load capacity, pre-loaded grease for sealed bearings, elimination of external hub seals, and maintenance-free operation. These units are widely used in passenger cars and are gradually being adopted in commercial vehicles as well.

Where is the vehicle identification QR code located?

The vehicle identification QR code is located at the lower part of the front windshield, in front of the driver's position. That code is it. The vehicle identification code is the car's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), essentially the car's ID card, also known as the 17-digit code. It contains information such as the vehicle's manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. The World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) is assigned to vehicle manufacturers based on geographic regions. This code consists of three characters and includes the following information: The first character is an alphanumeric that identifies a geographic region, such as Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America, or South America; the second character is a letter or number that identifies a specific country within that region; the third character is a letter or number that identifies a specific manufacturer, assigned by the authorized agencies of each country.
