hfc4de1-1d engine is a domestically produced engine, with the brand name JAC Ruijiete. It is a joint venture between Cummins and JAC, developed and manufactured by Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Co., Ltd. The maximum output power is 112kW, rated speed 3200rpm, maximum horsepower 152hp, maximum torque 355N.m, and maximum torque speed range 1800-2600rpm. Since 2009, JAC Motors has independently developed a total of 10 engines, winning the "China Heart" Top Ten Engines award. For daily maintenance of this engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to 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 failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When 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 blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and 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 powder from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it suspends in the oil; in large amounts, it 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 normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

I've been repairing cars for over a decade. The HFC4DE1-1D is Jianghuai Automobile's classic 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, commonly installed in SUVs like the Refine S3 and S5. It delivers around 113 horsepower and 145 N·m of torque. This inline-four engine features DVVT technology to optimize intake and exhaust, with a simple and durable overall structure, though it feels slightly sluggish at low speeds but performs decently at highway speeds. For routine maintenance, I recommend changing the engine oil every 5,000 km and cleaning the air filter to prevent carbon buildup. I've seen many customers encounter overheating issues due to clogged cooling systems. It's cost-effective and suitable for city commuting, though wind noise is noticeable at highway speeds. Regular maintenance can extend its lifespan. Overall, it's a reliable, no-frills engine for family vehicles.

What is the normal water temperature for a car?

Normal car temperature ranges between 80°C to 90°C. The car engine requires a specific operating temperature for normal functioning, as temperatures that are too high or too low can adversely affect engine operation and performance. Additionally, conventional air cooling is often insufficient to dissipate the heat generated by engine operation, which is why water cooling systems are widely used in car engines. The cooling system's role is to maintain the engine within the most favorable temperature range to enhance engine power, reduce engine wear, and minimize fuel consumption. Both excessively high and low temperatures can negatively impact engine performance. To ensure the engine operates within the normal temperature range, cars are equipped with an engine coolant temperature sensor, typically displayed separately on the dashboard. If the antifreeze temperature becomes too high, an alarm will be triggered.

What to Do About Small Scratches on the Car?

Methods to deal with small scratches on the car: 1. Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto the scratch and gently rub it to remove the scratch. The fine particles in the toothpaste help polish away the scratch through rubbing; 2. Use a touch-up paint pen to eliminate the scratch. Shake the touch-up pen well before use to mix the paint evenly, then spray lightly on the scratched area; 3. Repair with car wax. If the scratch is very shallow and only affects the surface paint, you can apply car wax in straight-line motions to repair it. After the scratch disappears, use a finer compound to wipe and then apply wax. Make sure to choose high-quality wax, as poor-quality wax can worsen the paint damage.

Is Painting Necessary When the Car's Primer is Exposed?

If the metal panel is not exposed, painting may not be necessary, but if the metal panel of the car body is exposed, painting is required. The following are the treatment methods for metal panel scratches of varying degrees: Minor Scratches: Minor scratches such as swirl marks only damage the surface layer of the paint. These scratches cause minimal damage to the paint and are relatively easy to repair, often solvable through waxing. You can start by using scratch remover wax, applying it with a waxing sponge to polish the scratched area, moving in a consistent clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Then, use a gloss-enhancing wax to make the painted surface appear shinier. Deep Scratches: If the scratch on the car body directly exposes the metal panel or the scratched area is larger than a fingernail, the damage has penetrated below the primer. In such cases, immediately take the car to a 4S shop or an auto beauty shop with a paint baking facility. The paint repair technician will reapply the anti-rust primer and perform a surface paint repair. If the damaged paint is not repaired promptly, corrosive substances can gradually oxidize, leading to rust and worsening of the damaged area, resulting in greater losses.

Can an Automatic Transmission License Drive a Manual Transmission Car?

An automatic transmission license cannot drive a manual transmission car. An automatic transmission driver's license belongs to the C2 category. According to China's traffic regulations, a C2 license for small automatic transmission vehicles only permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Driving a manual transmission car with a C2 license is equivalent to driving without a license and will be subject to severe legal penalties. If this results in a traffic accident causing casualties, the driver will also bear legal responsibility. Automatic transmission cars typically use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so they do not have a clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the throttle is applied and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward. If a highly skilled driver of a manual transmission car is compared to driving an automatic transmission car, under the same driving conditions, the automatic transmission car will consume more fuel than the same model with a manual transmission, approximately 1 liter more per 100 kilometers. Additionally, the cost of an automatic transmission is higher than that of a manual transmission for the same model. The advantage of an automatic transmission over a manual transmission lies in its ease of driving.

What to Do When the Trunk is Frozen and Won't Open?

Solutions for a frozen trunk that won't open: 1. Use the key remote control to press the trunk opening button on the car key directly. However, some models may not have a trunk opening button on the remote key, in which case you just need to press the unlock button to unlock it. For models equipped with a smart sensing key, pressing the switch on the tailgate can directly open the trunk; 2. Use a hot towel to slowly thaw the frozen trunk to open it; 3. Open the trunk from inside the car using the control switch. Most current models are equipped with a trunk opening button, usually located on the left side of the steering wheel or in the central control area; 4. It could also be a wiring fault issue. After ruling out the freezing cause, it is recommended to go to a 4S store for inspection and repair.
