The Great Wall C30 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which generally has a design lifespan of around 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers. Over the years, I've seen many examples in my repair work. With proper maintenance, such as regular oil changes and air filter cleaning, it can easily exceed 250,000 kilometers without issues. However, I've handled several faulty vehicles, mostly due to owners neglecting maintenance—like coolant system leaks or fuel line blockages—leading to premature engine wear. It's advisable to inspect every 5,000 kilometers, use the appropriate grade of engine oil, and avoid saving money with low-quality products. Gentle acceleration during highway driving can also reduce engine strain and prolong its life. Overall, the key lies in consistent maintenance; don't wait until warning lights appear to fix problems.

Which side is the front brake and which side is the rear brake on a motorcycle?

For standard motorcycles, the right hand controls the front brake, the left hand controls the clutch, and the left foot operates the rear brake. For scooters, the right hand controls the front brake, while the left hand operates the rear brake. During high-speed riding, the rear brake is generally used. Using only the front brake can cause the motorcycle to flip forward due to inertia, as locking the front wheel can be dangerous. In emergency situations, both brakes should be applied simultaneously. When braking a motorcycle, the rear brake should be used first. Gradually squeeze the rear brake lever (left hand) without applying full force suddenly, as this could cause the rear tire to skid or even lead to a fall. Then, apply the front brake (right hand) also gradually. Never slam the front brake fully, as this can lock the front wheel abruptly, causing the motorcycle to stop suddenly, leading to a fall or even the rider being thrown forward. The correct braking technique involves applying pressure gradually from light to firm, then easing off as the vehicle comes to a stop. Ideally, the braking force should reduce to zero just as the motorcycle halts. This method ensures a comfortable ride for passengers and helps prevent motion sickness.

What to Do When a Car Won't Start in Winter?

In low temperatures, a car may experience difficulty starting. Possible reasons for failure to start include: 1. Battery failure: In winter, lower temperatures reduce the battery's capacity, and after prolonged use, the starting voltage may drop. 2. Slower oil flow: Cold weather increases the viscosity of engine oil, slowing its flow and increasing engine resistance, making it harder to start the car. It is advisable to use winter-specific engine oil during this season. 3. Frozen exhaust pipe or excessive valve carbon deposits: Combustion in the engine produces water vapor, which can condense in certain parts. If it doesn't melt for a long time, starting the car becomes difficult. In such cases, running the car at high speeds can help expel the moisture from the exhaust pipe. 4. Engine malfunction: Severe engine wear can also make starting the car difficult. 5. Frozen and blocked exhaust pipe: Water vapor from engine combustion freezes at the exhaust pipe muffler, a common issue in vehicles used infrequently or for short distances.

Are the test results still retained after obtaining a driver's license?

After obtaining a driver's license, the test results are still retained. Here are the extended details: 1. Query address: After obtaining the driver's license, you cannot check the results online. However, the archives are kept by the vehicle management office, which contains the transcripts of each subject. You can only check them at the vehicle management office. After the vehicle management office verifies the validity of the test results, the information is usually entered on the same day (within 2 working days). As for the appointment query platform, it takes 1 to 2 working days to update. After the applicant passes all the tests and obtains the driver's license, the appointment query platform will clear the related learning records. 2. Validity period of the driving skills test permit: Each subject can be taken once, and if failed, it can be retaken once. If you do not participate in the retake or fail the retake, the current test is terminated, and you need to reschedule the test. Within the 3-year validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of scheduled tests for Subject 2 and Subject 3 (road driving skills) cannot exceed 5 times, meaning there are a total of 10 test opportunities for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills. If the 5th scheduled test is still failed, the previously passed subjects will be invalidated. There is no limit to the number of scheduled tests for Subject 1 and Subject 4 (safety and civilized driving knowledge test).

How Does the Cruise Control System Work?

In the automotive cruise control system, electronic devices automatically adjust the engine throttle opening according to changes in driving resistance to maintain a constant driving speed. Precautions for using the cruise control system: 1. For safety reasons, do not use the cruise control system when driving in heavy traffic, on slippery roads such as rain, ice, or snow, or during strong winds and heavy rain. 2. When the cruise control system is not in use, always ensure the cruise control switch (CRUISE ON-OFF) is turned off. 3. When driving on steep slopes, the cruise control system should be immediately turned off. 4. During downhill driving, avoid accelerating the vehicle. If the actual driving speed significantly exceeds the set normal driving speed, the cruise control device can be omitted, and the transmission should be shifted to a lower gear to use engine braking to control the speed. 5. When using the cruise control system, pay attention to whether the CRUISE indicator on the dashboard is flashing. If it flashes, it indicates that the cruise control system is in a fault state.

What Are the Most Correct Methods for Cleaning a Three-Way Catalytic Converter?

The correct methods for cleaning a three-way catalytic converter are as follows: 1. Adding a cleaning agent to the fuel tank: This method is very common in the market, with the biggest advantage being its low cost and simple operation. You only need to add this type of cleaning agent directly to the fuel tank. However, the cleaning effect this product has on the three-way catalytic converter is minimal. This is because the product is almost completely burned out by the time it reaches the three-way catalytic converter after combustion in the combustion chamber, leaving almost no cleaning effect. 2. Drip cleaning: Drip cleaning, also known as no-disassembly cleaning, is currently the most popular method for cleaning a three-way catalytic converter in the market. The biggest advantage is that it does not require removing the three-way catalytic converter, but the downside is the high cost of purchasing cleaning equipment and the limited cleaning effect. This drip cleaning method uses the intake vacuum to draw the cleaning agent into the combustion chamber. After combustion, it creates a high-temperature oxidation environment inside the three-way catalytic converter, converting sulfur, phosphorus compounds, and unburned residues from gasoline into gases like carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which are then expelled through the exhaust pipe. This restores the activity of the precious metals on the three-way catalytic converter. 3. Disassembly cleaning: Disassembly cleaning is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive method. It requires completely removing the three-way catalytic converter from the vehicle, soaking it in a cleaning agent (such as oxalic acid or toilet cleaner) for a period of time, and then rinsing it with water. In fact, this is the most effective method for cleaning a three-way catalytic converter.

Is the Active Braking System Useful in High-Speed Danger Situations?

Active braking systems are not useful in high-speed danger situations. Below are additional details: 1. Reasons: In terms of speed, the current models on the market equipped with active braking systems are designed for urban use, functioning effectively at speeds below 80 km/h, which is a dynamic speed. At a static speed of 80 km/h, it is practically difficult for the system to be effective. Automakers, considering cost, generally equip vehicles with factory-installed active braking systems using microwave radar. The detection range of microwave radar is about 10 meters, which means it cannot guarantee effectiveness at high speeds. In contrast, laser radar has a detection range of about 150 meters and higher accuracy, making it particularly effective on high-speed roads with high risk factors. However, the cost of laser radar is more than five times that of microwave radar. 2. Active Safety Systems: Active safety systems refer to safety systems that include electronic devices such as ABS and ESP. Passive safety systems involve vehicle body energy-absorbing structures, seat belts, airbags, etc. Among active safety systems, the most typical is the active braking system.
