The key differences between domestic engines and joint venture engines are mainly reflected in current engine production technology and development time. In most cases, domestic engines have relatively less advanced production technology and shorter development time compared to joint venture engines, which boast more advanced technology and longer development periods. Additional details are as follows: 1. Domestic engines: China has six major independent automotive engine series: Chery ACTECO and SQR481F series independent engines, Roewe KV6, Haima HA1.6 series independent engines, Geely CVVT, Brilliance 1.8T, and Chang'an Zhixiang 2.0. 2. German engines: Comparatively, German engines are excellent, especially large-displacement engines, which offer outstanding high-horsepower handling and safety. Whether in crash tests or quality assessments conducted by various countries, they consistently rank at the top.

Will non-functioning turn signals affect vehicle inspection?

Non-functioning turn signals will affect the annual vehicle inspection. The turn signals of a car are relatively prone to damage, and some vehicles may exhibit rapid flashing frequency, which indicates a malfunction in the turn signals. If the turn signals do not illuminate, the issue is likely related to wiring or fuses, and these should be repaired before the inspection. Below are some related troubleshooting steps: 1. Try activating the hazard lights to see if they work. If they do, the problem likely lies in the turn signal switch. 2. If they don't illuminate, check whether all four turn signals are not working. If the issue is with the bulbs, it is uncommon for all four bulbs (front, rear, left, and right) to fail simultaneously. 3. The most probable cause is wiring or fuse-related problems, so these components should be inspected.

What Causes Grooves on Brake Discs?

Scratches on brake discs are a normal phenomenon, and generally, as long as the scratch depth does not exceed 0.6 millimeters, there is no cause for concern. There are two scenarios that lead to deep scratches: Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Only the front or rear brake discs have grooves. This situation is usually caused by driving habits or uneven distribution of braking force between the front and rear. 2. Only one brake disc has grooves while the others are normal. This is typically due to material issues or external forces. Possible factors include: a. Foreign objects getting stuck between this brake disc and the brake pad, coinciding with heavy braking. b. Uneven force distribution from the brake caliper. c. Manufacturing defects in the brake pad, resulting in uneven composite materials that make the pad too hard or contain large metal particles. Recommended solution: Remove the brake pads with grooves, place low-grit sandpaper on a flat surface, and sand the brake pads both horizontally and vertically until they are smooth.

Can Water Be Used as a Substitute for Engine Coolant in Motor Vehicles?

Motor vehicle engine coolant cannot be replaced with water. One of the functions of automotive antifreeze is to prevent scale formation. If well water or other hard water is added to the antifreeze, it can easily cause scale buildup in the vehicle's engine, leading to clogged pipes and affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the engine. The water used in antifreeze is soft water, which is mixed according to specific standards. Therefore, it is not recommended to add water to automotive antifreeze on your own. Below is an introduction to coolant: 1. Function: Coolant is an essential part of a car's engine. Its main role is to circulate within the engine cooling system, carrying away excess heat generated during engine operation, allowing the engine to operate at normal working temperatures. 2. Risks: When coolant levels are insufficient, the engine's water temperature can become excessively high, potentially causing damage to engine components and severe harm to the vehicle.

What is the difference between 5W30 and 10W30 engine oil?

5W-30 and 10W-40 are two different engine oil grades with distinct performance characteristics. Here are their differences: 1. Low temperature: 5W-30 performs better than 10W-40 in cold-start conditions. 2. High temperature: 10W-40 offers better high-temperature stability compared to 5W-30. Additional information: 1. 10W-40 represents its SAE standard viscosity rating, indicating it's a multi-grade oil. 2. The number before W indicates the oil's flow performance at low temperatures - the smaller the number, the better the cold-start performance. 3. The number after W represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., resistance to thinning) - the larger the number, the better the high-temperature stability.
