AdBlue has the effect of improving the exhaust emissions of diesel vehicles. To further reduce nitrogen oxide pollutants in diesel engine emissions, engine manufacturers use SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology to meet the requirements of environmental protection departments. Diesel exhaust fluid, which is AdBlue, is a consumable that must be used in SCR technology. Consequences of not adding AdBlue to diesel vehicles: 1. During the annual inspection, if the staff finds that AdBlue has not been added, not only will the inspection fail, but there will also be corresponding penalties; 2. If the exhaust emissions do not meet the standards, it will pollute the environment; 3. Without the circulation of AdBlue solution for a long time, the nozzle will be blocked, the urea pump will be damaged by dry burning, and the pipeline will crystallize, leading to the scrapping of the entire SCR system; 4. The ECU will detect that the owner has not added AdBlue and will limit the torque, resulting in a lack of power in the vehicle.

I've been driving diesel cars for many years, and AdBlue is like a little eco-friendly helper. Its main role is to reduce exhaust pollution. Specifically, it works through a system called SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction): when the car is running, the AdBlue solution is injected into the exhaust pipe, where it decomposes into ammonia gas at high temperatures. The ammonia then reacts with harmful nitrogen oxides, converting them into harmless nitrogen gas and water vapor. This not only reduces smoke emissions, making the air cleaner, but also helps the vehicle comply with emission regulations and avoid fines. From my personal experience, if you don't refill AdBlue on time, the car will trigger a warning light or even limit speed. Once, I forgot to refill and had to rush to a service station to top it up. Now, I've made it a habit to check the AdBlue tank during every maintenance session to ensure it's full. It's not expensive but highly effective, keeping the car running more smoothly.

From an environmental protection perspective, urea for vehicles plays a core role in controlling exhaust pollution. Diesel engines emit harmful nitrogen oxides, but urea functions in the SCR system, effectively converting those pollutants after decomposition. This process directly improves air quality and reduces urban smog. As someone who follows environmental news, I understand that failing to use urea may lead to emission violations resulting in fines and increased atmospheric burden. Therefore, regular use supports green transportation and ensures vehicle compliance. Though it may seem like a small action, its long-term impact on our planet is significant, helping keep our skies bluer.

AdBlue is a key substance used to purify diesel exhaust gases. Through SCR technology, it is injected into the exhaust pipe and decomposed into ammonia, which reacts with harmful nitrogen oxides to produce safe nitrogen and water. This significantly reduces pollutant emissions and enhances environmental performance. Failure to add it may trigger system warnings or power limitations.

What Causes the Gurgling Water Sound When the Car Stops?

The gurgling water sound when the car stops is caused by gas in the cold exhaust pipe waiting to be re-burned. Possible reasons for sounds when the car stops include: 1. Cooling sound of the three-way catalytic converter: The normal operating temperature of the three-way catalytic converter is between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius. After turning off the engine, it gradually stops working, the temperature drops, and internal metal components expand and contract due to heat, producing abnormal noises; 2. Cooling sound of the exhaust pipe: The temperature of the exhaust pipe during cold idle is around 200 degrees Celsius, and the thermal expansion and contraction of the exhaust pipe cause abnormal noises; 3. Turbo cooling sound: The rapid rotation and friction of the turbocharger generate high temperatures. After turning off the engine, the thermal expansion and contraction become very noticeable, producing abnormal noises; 4. Abnormal noises caused by uneven cooling of the engine: The engine temperature is very high, and after turning off the engine, the temperature of various components drops at different rates, leading to gaps between internal metal parts cooling and contracting, resulting in friction and abnormal noises.

Should You Inspect the Car or Pay First When Taking Delivery?

Generally, the car delivery process involves inspecting the vehicle first. Do not rush to make the payment before thoroughly checking the new car, as once the payment is made, it essentially means all procedures are completed, handing over the initiative to the dealer. If any issues are found during the inspection afterward, it may become inconvenient to request a refund or exchange. Key considerations when taking delivery of a new car are as follows: 1. Taxation: Taxation is an essential step in the car purchase process. Most tax payment windows for vehicles do not accept cash, so it is advisable to prepare a bank card in advance. Typically, the vehicle management office also has dedicated tax payment windows where you can complete this process. 2. Selecting the Model and Configuration: The first step in buying a car is to choose the model and the desired configuration. When selecting a model, it is crucial to consider your budget. The principle of car selection is to first determine the type of vehicle you want—such as a sedan or SUV—and then prioritize the parameters that matter most to you, such as fuel consumption, maintenance costs, space, noise levels, and cargo capacity.

What kind of memory card is used for dash cams?

Currently, the vast majority of dash cams use Micro-SD cards, originally named Trans-flash-Card (TF card), which is a member of the SD-Card Association. Due to their small size, fast transfer speed, and support for hot-swapping, they are widely used in mobile phones, navigation devices, and some automotive electronic products. The dimensions are only 15x11x1mm. Additional information is as follows: 1. How loop recording works: The video footage from dash cams is stored on removable memory cards. Videos are typically segmented into 1, 3, or 5-minute clips based on user settings. When the memory card is nearly full, the dash cam automatically deletes the oldest clip to store newly recorded videos, preventing storage shortages. 2. TF card: The memory card used in dash cams is also called a TF card, short for Trans-flash-Card. It supports hot-swapping, can be rewritten repeatedly, offers fast storage speeds, and is compact in size. These advantages make it widely used in various electronic devices for data storage. It is particularly suitable for the frequent read-write operations of dash cams, enabling the loop recording function. Depending on the size of the memory card, it can continuously loop and store recorded video footage.
