Buick Excelle meets the China VI emission standard. The vehicle is equipped with a TwinTec double overhead camshaft engine and a 16-valve double overhead camshaft engine. The front suspension adopts MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension features a multi-link independent suspension. The tire specification is 195/55R15. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan produced by General Motors, with body dimensions of 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height. Its top speed reaches 170km/h. The body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, fitted with 15-inch 8-spoke steel wheels and paired with a 5-speed manual CVT continuously variable transmission.

The emission standard of the Buick Excelle depends on the year. My car is a 2016 model, and the manual states it meets China V. I've been driving it in Shanghai for several years, and emissions are crucial because the traffic restriction policy only allows China V and above to enter the city. The Excelle is quite sturdy, with decent fuel efficiency, but the exhaust must meet the standard to pass the annual inspection. Most car enthusiasts I know say it's China V, while models from 2008 or earlier might be China IV. When buying a car, I suggest checking the vehicle's nameplate or VIN code and confirming with the dealership. The emission upgrades are for environmental protection, aiming to reduce smog issues. Now that China VI is in place, I plan to upgrade to a new model, though the old car still feels reliable. In summary, the common emission standard for the Excelle is China V—don’t overlook this detail, as it affects daily use.

Is There a Charge for Checking Fault Codes at a 4S Shop?

Whether checking fault codes at a 4S shop incurs a charge generally depends on the following two aspects: 1. If the vehicle is within the warranty period, fault detection at the 4S shop is usually free of charge. 2. If the warranty period has expired, fault detection at the 4S shop usually requires a fee. Below are the common practices of 4S shops when a vehicle experiences a fault: (1) Technicians typically use a diagnostic computer to read the fault codes first. The electronic systems in modern vehicles are highly advanced. If a fault occurs in any part of the car, the computer will generate a fault code. Technicians can read these codes with a diagnostic computer, which helps them quickly identify the cause and location of the fault. (2) If the fault code cannot be read with the computer, the technicians at the 4S shop will assess the possible faulty parts based on the symptoms described by the owner. They will then conduct a test drive and finally troubleshoot the issue.

Do modern cars still need to be warmed up before driving in winter?

Modern cars still need to be warmed up before driving in winter. Since winter temperatures are much lower than other seasons, the engine warms up relatively slower. After starting the vehicle, friction occurs between the engine and various moving parts. If these components suddenly operate at high speeds, prolonged exposure to such conditions may cause damage. Therefore, warming up the car is essential. Here's the correct way to warm up your car in winter: After starting the vehicle, drive at low speeds. This prevents unlubricated components from undergoing intense operation that could lead to damage. During this time, simply maintain the engine speed at around 2000 RPM, and wait until the engine coolant reaches normal operating temperature before driving normally.

What should be paid attention to when repairing the differential?

When repairing the differential, the following points should be noted: 1. First remove the oil filler hole screw and drain the lubricating oil inside the differential; 2. Use a hex wrench to first remove the small pressure cover, take off the bearing snap ring on the pulley seat, use a puller to remove the belt pulley, and then remove the pulley seat; then use the hex wrench to remove the left end cover of the differential, use a pry bar to take out the first-stage planetary carrier, then remove the first and second-stage differential housing, remove the right end cover, and take out the third-stage and second-stage planetary carriers; 3. Disassemble the first, second, and third-stage planetary carriers separately, clean and inspect all gears, bearings, and the inner sleeves of the planetary carriers. The surfaces should be free of wear, and the bearing clearance should be kept within the fixed range. If there is any wear, they must be replaced; 4. Clean and inspect. After disassembly, the differential housing and planetary gears must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure normal meshing between the gears; 5. During the disassembly and repair of the differential, hammering or striking is not allowed. The integrity of the parts must be ensured. If necessary, a copper hammer or copper rod can be used; 6. The platform for repairing the differential must be covered with a rubber mat to prevent hard contact between parts.

Which is Faster: Automatic or Manual Transmission?

Whether a manual transmission accelerates faster than an automatic transmission depends on the specific type of transmission: 1. CVT transmission: Manual transmission accelerates faster than automatic. 2. Dual-clutch transmission: Automatic transmission accelerates faster than manual. Below are the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: 1. Different levels of operational difficulty: Manual transmissions are suitable for skilled drivers; automatic transmissions are suitable for beginners. 2. Different structures: Manual transmissions have a clutch; automatic transmissions do not. 3. Characteristics of manual transmissions: Quick response, stable performance, good fuel economy, and strong power. 4. Characteristics of automatic transmissions: Extends the lifespan of components, improves vehicle performance, and reduces air pollution.

Should Vehicle Maintenance Be Based on Mileage or Time?

Whether to perform maintenance based on time or mileage generally follows the principle of whichever comes first. There is no fixed answer, as car owners need to analyze their vehicle's specific conditions to determine the optimal approach. Here is a brief introduction to vehicle maintenance: (1) Routine Maintenance: Typically performed every 5,000KM (or 7,500KM for some models), it mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, inspecting the fuel filter (many modern vehicles no longer have one), and checking the air filter—replacing them if excessively dirty. Additionally, each maintenance session must include an inspection of the brake discs and pads for potential replacement, checking the brake fluid level, and assessing tire conditions to ensure safety. (2) Periodic Maintenance: Usually conducted every 3 years or every 40,000KM. Beyond routine maintenance, it includes cleaning the fuel injectors, throttle body, and the vehicle's intake system. Furthermore, it requires replacing transmission fluid, front and rear axle oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Tire wear should also be inspected, with replacements made if necessary. (3) Major Maintenance: Typically occurs after the vehicle has traveled 100,000KM, involving a comprehensive inspection and replacement of parts as needed. Special attention should be paid to the wiring (electrical circuits) and transmission mechanisms during this phase.

What Are the Reasons for No Hot Air in a Car?

Car no hot air reasons are as follows: 1. Thermostat failure, causing the cooling system to prematurely enter a large circulation cycle resulting in no hot air. 2. Dirty or clogged air filter, affecting the effectiveness of the hot air. 3. Broken heater control button, unable to transmit the corresponding hot air supply signal, leading to no warm air. 4. Clogged heater core, preventing coolant from passing through the small radiator resulting in no hot air. Below is the principle of car hot air: When the car air conditioning is heating, the high-temperature coolant from the engine flows through the heater core. At this time, the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing the car air conditioning vents to blow out warm air.
