The engine used in the BYD L3 is independently developed by BYD and is a domestically produced engine. The 1.8L engine model in the BYD L3 is BYD483QA, with a maximum horsepower of 122, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 160Nm. The 1.5L engine model is BYD473QB, with a maximum horsepower of 107, a maximum power of 79kW, and a maximum torque of 144Nm. For daily maintenance of the BYD L3 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When engine oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What Causes the Buzzing Sound When Pressing the Car AC Button?

Reasons for the buzzing sound when pressing the car AC button: 1. Air conditioning blower issue: It may be due to a faulty blower bearing. Replace the air conditioning blower. 2. Problem with the air conditioning compressor: Replace the air conditioning compressor. 3. Faulty motor in the exhaust fan inside the AC: Replace the exhaust fan motor or the entire fan. 4. Deformed blades in the exhaust fan inside the AC: Replace the exhaust fan. 5. Excessive dirt inside the AC: Clean the air conditioning system. Below are some tips for AC maintenance: 1. Comprehensive AC inspection: When using the AC for the first time in summer, check the AC system thoroughly. For example, inspect the refrigerant level through the reservoir and check if the AC filter is too dirty or if there are any foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to AC cleaning: Regularly replace the AC filter to prevent moldy odors. Additionally, clean the condenser periodically, and remove the radiator for a thorough cleaning.

What Causes Windshield Wipers to Not Clean the Glass Properly?

Windshield wipers may not clean the glass properly due to excessive dirt, misalignment creating blind spots, or aging and hardening of the wipers. Detailed knowledge and solutions regarding windshield wipers are as follows: Windshield Wipers: Windshield wipers are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. By law, almost all vehicles are equipped with windshield wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also have wipers. Besides cars, other means of transportation, such as trains and trams, are also equipped with wipers. Solutions: Purchase appropriate cleaning agents and regularly use them to remove dirt from the wipers and residual grease on the windshield, ensuring the wipers can clean effectively and maintain clear visibility. Replace the windshield wipers as needed to prevent aging and hardening due to weather conditions, which can impair their functionality.

Can a Total Loss Vehicle Be Normally Traded After Repair?

With the consent of the insurance company, a total loss vehicle can be traded. The primary method of disposal is through auctions, and most total loss vehicles end up in the used car market. According to Chinese laws and regulations, as long as a total loss vehicle meets the national requirements for roadworthiness, it can be legally traded. Important Notes: China prohibits the trading of scrapped vehicles. As long as a total loss vehicle does not meet the scrapping criteria, it can be normally bought and sold. Legal Basis: "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," which is enacted to maintain road traffic order, prevent and reduce traffic accidents, protect personal safety, safeguard the property and other legitimate rights and interests of citizens, legal persons, and other organizations, and improve traffic efficiency. Regulations: All vehicle drivers, pedestrians, passengers, and individuals or entities related to road traffic activities within the territory of the People's Republic of China must comply with this law.

What does water dripping under the front wheels indicate?

After turning on the air conditioning, water dripping near the right front wheel is a normal phenomenon. There are two locations where dripping is normal: one is the air conditioning drain pipe, and the other is the exhaust pipe. When the car's air conditioning is on, the surface temperature of the condenser is very low. As the circulating air passes through the condenser, the moisture in the air condenses on the condenser (forming water droplets), and the condensed water is discharged outside the car through the pipes. This is why water drips under the car when the air conditioning is on. Below is an introduction to air conditioning maintenance: 1. Comprehensive air conditioning inspection: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, it is essential to inspect the air conditioning system. For example, check the refrigerant and whether the air filter is too dirty via the reservoir, and check for any foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to air conditioning cleaning: The air filter should be replaced regularly to prevent moldy odors from the air conditioning. Additionally, the condenser should be cleaned periodically, and the radiator should be removed for thorough cleaning.

Can a 4WD Vehicle Be Towed?

Yes, full-time 4WD vehicles can only be towed using a flatbed tow truck. This is because all four wheels of a full-time 4WD vehicle are drive wheels, connected by a single driveshaft. If any set of wheels is lifted, the other set will continue to rotate, potentially causing damage to the transmission. Full-Time 4WD System: In a full-time 4WD drivetrain, a center differential is installed to distribute power to the front and rear axles. Unlike part-time 4WD or on-demand 4WD systems, full-time 4WD vehicles maintain power to all four wheels continuously during operation. The center differential adjusts the power distribution ratio between the front and rear wheels based on varying road conditions. Towing Impact: When using a wheel-lift tow truck, only the front wheels can be secured while the rear wheels continue to rotate freely. This causes the multi-plate clutch to rapidly increase its engagement level. The kinetic energy from the towed vehicle's rear wheels is then transmitted to the center differential, generating excessive heat through reverse friction, which may ultimately lead to burnout.
