GM6 car engine is jointly developed by SAIC Motor and General Motors, and is produced by SAIC's engine factory. The GM6 engine model is 18K4C, with a maximum power of 124kw, a maximum torque of 250Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 170Nm. The GM6 engine can be maintained daily using the following methods: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate; When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine works properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Reasons for Crankshaft Pulley Rubber Aging?

Crankshaft pulley rubber aging is primarily due to prolonged usage over time. Consequences of crankshaft pulley rubber aging: A damaged crankshaft pulley can affect the engine, leading to weakened vehicle power, engine idling or abnormal noises during acceleration, increased operational resistance and potential seizure. It may also snap the timing belt, cause valve damage, and necessitates immediate replacement as a faulty crankshaft pulley severely impacts engine performance. Replacement procedure for aged crankshaft pulley rubber: First, remove the air filter using a Phillips screwdriver and specialized tools. Detach the front grille with a Phillips screwdriver, then loosen the generator bracket bolts and the generator itself with tools. Remove the generator belt. Next, loosen the air conditioning compressor bracket bolts and detach the compressor belt. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the small hole at the transmission bottom to lock the flywheel, while simultaneously loosening the crankshaft pulley bolt with tools and removing it. At this point, the pulley should come off easily.

Why Do Rear-Wheel Drive Cars Have Better Handling?

Rear-wheel drive cars offer superior handling due to their more balanced front-to-rear weight distribution, stronger traction from the drive wheels, ability to handle greater horsepower, and absence of understeer. The handling of rear-wheel drive vehicles surpasses that of both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive cars. While all-wheel drive provides more stability, it lacks the agility characteristic of rear-wheel drive. Reasons for Higher Horsepower in Rear-Wheel Drive Cars: Rear-wheel drive cars can accommodate more horsepower, which is why they typically have higher horsepower ratings compared to front-wheel drive vehicles. Front-wheel drive cars cannot handle excessive horsepower as their drive wheels may slip during acceleration, and they may experience torque steer during rapid acceleration. Consequently, front-wheel drive cars generally have lower horsepower than rear-wheel drive models. Advantages of Rear-Wheel Drive Cars: They are easier and less expensive to repair. Although the design and manufacturing costs of rear-wheel drive cars are higher, repairing the rear-wheel drive transmission system is relatively simpler and more cost-effective compared to front-wheel drive systems, which are more expensive to repair. However, front-wheel drive systems are generally more reliable, so there is usually little concern about potential issues.

Commercial vehicles that pass safety inspections within the prescribed period need not repeat the inspection; Vehicles exceeding scrappage age: Cannot be transferred (sold/purchased) but may continue operating. For transactions, owners may first obtain the vehicle's scrappage certificate (canceling its registration) at the DMV before proceeding with sale.

What Number to Call for Parking and Vehicle Relocation?

Introduction to calling methods for parking and vehicle relocation: 122 Traffic Police Hotline: If you encounter an emergency that requires travel but your vehicle is blocked by another car, you can call the 122 Traffic Police Hotline. This number cannot be used to look up vehicle owners, but the police can assist in contacting the owner. If contact cannot be established, simply provide the license plate number and parking location to 122, and the police will come to relocate the vehicle shortly. 114 Information Service Hotline: 114 is another commonly used number. It is an information service platform where you can provide the license plate number and location of the vehicle that needs to be moved to the operator. The call will then be directly transferred to the owner's mobile phone without revealing their number, ensuring privacy protection while still enabling contact with the owner. Insurance Company Hotline: You can also call the insurance number displayed on the other vehicle's windshield. Inform the insurance company that there has been an incident with the other car, and the insurance company will then notify the owner to come and check promptly.

What does 'off' mean when displayed on a BMW?

Roewe i5's tire pressure reset button is located on the vehicle's central control screen interface. Touch 'Driving Maintenance' to enter the tire pressure reset interface. Reset Operation: The Roewe i5's tire pressure reset is performed on the vehicle's central control screen interface. Touch 'Driving Maintenance' to enter the tire pressure reset interface. After confirming that the tires are problem-free, perform the reset operation while the vehicle is parked. Whenever inflating, deflating, or replacing wheels or tires, ensure the tire pressure is at the standard level and perform the reset operation. Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure while driving, alerting the driver to leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. Tire blowouts account for up to 70% of severe traffic accidents, with insufficient tire pressure being the leading cause. Even if you don't choose a model with tire pressure monitoring, it's essential to pay attention to your vehicle's tires to avoid serious harm to both people and the car. When tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing the pressure the tire bears and affecting its grip.
