Here is the pressure range for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner: 1. When the compressor is running at 1500-2000 rpm, the high pressure should be around 1.5-2.0 MPa, and the low pressure should be around 0.15-0.35 MPa under normal conditions. The exact values depend on the matching of the air conditioning system in different vehicles and the ambient temperature. 2. In high ambient temperatures at idle, the high pressure may be slightly higher. The maximum high pressure can reach around 2.5-2.8 MPa, but it generally does not exceed 3.1 MPa. Below is some related knowledge about car air conditioner refrigerant: Car air conditioner refrigerant, commonly referred to as Freon, is known as "refrigerant" or "coolant" in the market. It is mainly used to measure the pressure values of the refrigerant at different stages of the system, allowing operators to monitor the equipment's operating status. Currently, the national requirement for the accuracy of refrigerant pressure gauges is to reach level 2.5.

What is the difference in tire specifications and sizes?

The differences in tire sizes are: 1. Distance variation: Larger tires cover more ground per revolution of the connected driveshaft, while smaller tires cover less distance per revolution. 2. Traction difference: Larger tires have greater contact area with the road surface, enhancing vehicle traction; smaller tires have reduced contact area, resulting in weaker grip. Automobile tires can be categorized by carcass structure into pneumatic tires and solid tires, with most modern vehicles using pneumatic tires. Based on internal air pressure, pneumatic tires are classified into high-pressure, low-pressure, and ultra-low-pressure types, with low-pressure tires being the most commonly used across vehicle categories.

How to Remove Residual Adhesive from Car Decals?

Tips for Removing Adhesive from Car Paint: 1. Essential Balm: Essential balm is an organic solvent that can remove stubborn adhesive residues. Apply essential balm to the adhesive marks, wait until it fully penetrates, then wipe vigorously with a towel to remove without leaving traces; 2. Adhesive Remover: Purchase a specialized adhesive remover for a simple and convenient solution that cleans adhesive tape marks thoroughly; 3. Alcohol: Relatively safe and harmless to the car body. However, if removing residual adhesive from a windshield with a sun film, do not spray directly as it may damage the film. Instead, use a towel dipped in a small amount to wipe it off; 4. Car Wash: You can ask the staff to help remove it during a car wash.

Where is the hood switch of Haval H6?

The hood switch of Haval H6 is located on the left side of the brake pedal in the driver's seat. The hood lock has a safety device. To open the hood, you need to reach into the gap and flip the lever of the safety device, then you can open the hood. More information about the Haval H6 hood is as follows: 1. The hood is made of rubber foam and aluminum foil materials, which can reduce engine noise while isolating the heat generated by the engine during operation, effectively protecting the paint on the hood surface and preventing aging. 2. Since the hood is a very important part of the car, if there is a problem with the hood, it will also affect normal use. Regularly maintaining the hood can make it last longer and avoid affecting normal use due to hood damage.

Why doesn't the Volkswagen 380 have a particulate filter installed?

Volkswagen 380 does not have a particulate filter installed because: the 380 is a 7-seater and does not require a particulate filter. Below is an introduction to the functions of a particulate filter: 1. Regeneration function: It can effectively reduce the emission of particulate matter by first capturing the particulate matter in the exhaust gas and then oxidizing the captured particles to regenerate the particulate filter, reducing the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%. The captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. 2. Purification function: After the purification cycle is completed, any remaining dust or residue will ultimately be manually removed during routine maintenance. With the help of the engine control system, it not only controls the amount of particulate emissions but also the emissions of pollutants such as hydrocarbons and polluting gases.

How many liters of oil are generally needed for an oil change?

Generally, an oil change requires 3 liters. Reasons for changing oil: Changing the oil is very necessary. The oxidized substances in the oil will be discharged from the engine, creating a good working environment for the engine and providing protection for it. Oil change procedure: Secure the vehicle, use tools to loosen the oil pan, drain the old oil, replace the new filter, add new oil, check for leaks, and ensure normal operation. Precautions for oil change details: If using synthetic oil, it can basically be changed every 10,000 kilometers, and some can even last up to 20,000 kilometers. Choosing higher-quality oil can reduce and avoid damage caused by component friction.

Why Are Used Peugeot 307 Cars So Cheap?

The Peugeot 307 has some common issues, and its resale value is relatively low, which is why used Peugeot 307 cars are priced so affordably. Below are specific details about the Peugeot 307: 1. Body Dimensions: The hatchback version of the Peugeot 307 measures 4212mm in length, 1762mm in width, and 1531mm in height. 2. Powertrain Configuration: The hatchback 307 is equipped with the same 1.6L and 2.0L engines as the sedan version. The 307 features four-wheel independent suspension. The front suspension is similar to that of other cars, while the rear suspension uses an independent torsion beam with a deformable crossmember, though it is not the more advanced multi-link independent suspension.
