What is the engine model of Dongfeng Peugeot 308?

The 1.2T version of Dongfeng Peugeot 308 has an engine model of EB2DTSM, with a maximum power of 100kW and a maximum horsepower of 136. The 2.0L version has an engine model of BZ2108, with a maximum power of 108kW and a maximum horsepower of 147. The 1.6L version has an engine model of TU5JP4, with a maximum power of 78kW and a maximum horsepower of 106. The engine of Dongfeng Peugeot 308 is produced by Yantai Dongyue Power Company and is a domestically manufactured engine. For daily maintenance of the Dongfeng Peugeot 308 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When engine oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What causes the hissing sound when the car AC is turned on?

The reasons for the hissing sound when the car AC is turned on include: belt slippage, AC compressor failure, or foreign objects in the air duct. Here are the solutions: 1. Belt slippage: The AC compressor is driven by the engine crankshaft via a belt. If the belt becomes loose, aged, severely worn, or if the tensioner lacks sufficient tension, it can cause belt slippage, resulting in a hissing noise. Solution: If the issue is due to the belt, simply replace the belt. If it's a tensioner problem, replace the tensioner. 2. AC compressor failure: When the AC switch is turned on, the compressor starts operating. If the compressor is damaged, it may produce a hissing sound. In this case, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop for replacement or repair. 3. Foreign objects in the air duct: If there are foreign objects in the AC system's air duct, they may rotate with the blower's airflow and repeatedly hit the air filter, causing a hissing noise. To resolve this, remove the AC filter and carefully inspect and clean any foreign objects in the air duct.

What is the difference between 0W and 5W engine oil?

The only difference between these two types of engine oil is their minimum operating temperature. 5W can be used in environments as low as -30 degrees Celsius, while 0W can be used in environments as low as -35 degrees Celsius. Here are the relevant details: 1. The 'W' stands for winter-grade oil: The preceding number indicates the oil's low-temperature fluidity, represented by the lowest applicable environmental temperature. 0W oil can normally start an engine in environments as low as -35 degrees Celsius, while 5W oil can do so in environments as low as -30 degrees Celsius. 2. 0W is more fuel-efficient than 5W: Although both 0W and 5W can meet the oil requirements for most regions in China under natural environmental conditions, their performance differs at the same temperature. At the same temperature, the CCS (Cold Cranking Simulator) index of 0W is better than that of 5W, meaning that 0W has better fluidity than 5W at low temperatures. The direct result of this improved fluidity is smoother cold starts for the engine and reduced resistance during engine operation, leading to better fuel efficiency.

Why does the car's AC cool while driving but heat up when parked?

When the car's AC cools while driving but heats up when parked, this issue is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. Poor heat dissipation in the AC and engine cooling system: High temperatures when parked lead to poor AC performance, while driving improves heat dissipation and restores normal AC function. 2. Dirty radiator condenser: Prolonged use causes dirt buildup on the condenser surface. Car owners need to regularly clean the condenser to maintain optimal AC performance. 3. Faulty cooling fan: The fan fails to rotate when idling with AC on, requiring replacement of the electric fan. 4. Malfunctioning AC system: Issues such as Freon leakage or insufficient Freon levels during refill/replacement prevent the AC from achieving proper cooling effects during operation.

Should the AC be turned on for car air conditioning cooling?

When the car is set to cold air mode, the AC button needs to be turned on, whereas it is not required when using the heating mode. This is because the AC button represents the air conditioning compressor, which is only used in the cold air mode. Below are the relevant details: 1. Composition of car air conditioning: The car air conditioning system includes not only the compressor but also components like the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. During the cooling process, the compressor is one of the crucial parts of the refrigeration system. Therefore, it is essential to turn on the AC button when using cold air; otherwise, the system will only operate the blower, delivering air at normal temperature. 2. Method for using cold air: When using cold air, turn on the air conditioning switch, set the fan to high speed, and adjust the temperature control knob to the cold air zone. After a while, once the interior temperature drops, you can lower the fan speed. 3. No need for AC in heating mode: During winter when using heating, the AC button does not need to be activated. It's worth noting that in winter, due to the low external temperature and higher interior temperature, the windows are prone to fogging. This fogging is often caused by the significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle. In such cases, turning on the AC button can speed up defogging, but it will consume some of the car's fuel.
