According to the default "inventory car" standard in the automotive industry, an "inventory car" refers to a commercial vehicle that has been in stock for more than 6 months (imported cars are calculated separately). Below is some information about inventory cars: 1. The reason for setting 6 months as the standard is that the shelf life of most engine oils and some wearable parts is only 6 months. Although exceeding this period does not necessarily cause problems, there are risks involved. Therefore, the automotive industry internally sets the inventory age standard for "inventory cars" at 6 months because vehicles that have been in stock for more than 6 months require more attention when being sold. 2. Generally, new cars with an inventory age of less than 9 months have no mechanical issues. The possible problems are related to external components, such as paint damage (especially from bird droppings or rain marks on white paint).

Do You Need to Depress the Clutch When Turning Off the Car?

You need to depress the clutch when turning off the car. Here is a detailed introduction about the car clutch: 1. Overview: The car clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the output shaft of the clutch being the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. 2. Principle: The driving and driven parts of the clutch transmit torque through friction between contact surfaces, using liquid as a transmission medium, or magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch), allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement, while permitting mutual rotation between the two parts during transmission.

Why does the car make a squeaking noise when the air conditioner is turned on?

The reasons for the squeaking noise when the car air conditioner is turned on are as follows: 1. Refrigerant moisture causing squeaking: Abnormal noises inside the air conditioner are often caused by moisture or air in the system refrigerant, which can be appropriately released. The compressor has high requirements for the electromagnetic clutch. Moreover, the electromagnetic clutch is installed close to the ground and frequently comes into contact with rainwater and mud. When the bearing in the electromagnetic clutch fails, it can produce abnormal noises. 2. Compressor drive belt: The tension of the compressor drive belt may also cause abnormal noises from the car air conditioner compressor. If the drive belt is too tight, the load on the electromagnetic clutch will increase.

How Many Car Washes Will Remove Car Wax?

After three car washes, the car wax will be completely removed, which takes about a month. Here are the details: 1. Waxing: When waxing a vehicle, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly, and the wax should be applied evenly. The area to be waxed at one time should not be too large, and the time should not be too long. 2. Waxing Frequency: It is recommended to wax every two months. New cars do not need waxing within six months of purchase because they come with a protective wax layer from the factory. Waxing too early will remove this protective layer. Proper waxing intervals can maintain the cleanliness of the car's paint and extend its lifespan.
