Iridium spark plugs and double iridium spark plugs have a lifespan of 60,000 to 80,000 km and 80,000 to 100,000 km respectively. Automotive spark plugs are mainly categorized by electrode material into: nickel alloy, silver alloy, yttrium gold, platinum, iridium, double iridium, and iridium-platinum spark plugs. Different spark plug materials result in different lifespans. The method for replacing spark plugs is as follows: 1. Remove the engine cover; 2. Clean the dust and oil around the high-voltage wire terminals and unscrew the fixing screws; 3. Remove the high-voltage wire terminals and loosen the spark plugs; 4. Insert the soft tube from the high-voltage wire terminals into the combustion chamber and pull out the spark plugs; 5. Secure the new spark plugs into the high-voltage wire terminals and fasten the clips to hold the spark plugs in place.

What are the reasons for the continuous illumination of the car engine warning light?

The engine warning light may stay on due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the warning light. Fuel or oil quality issues: Failure to use the fuel or engine oil as recommended by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to the warning light activation. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: This can result in engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can cause poor combustion. Turbocharging problems: The intake boost pipe or turbocharger can also trigger the engine warning light. The most common issue is a damaged turbocharger, accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake problems: If the car's intake system is compromised, it may lead to engine pipe blockages, and in severe cases, the engine warning light will turn on. A dirty air filter that hasn't been cleaned regularly can cause intake issues. Exhaust problems: Exhaust system faults can also activate the engine warning light. Common causes include issues with the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearings. The catalytic converter is most frequently affected, especially when using leaded gasoline, lead- or silicon-containing lubricant additives, physical damage to the converter, or fuel system malfunctions. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system fails or the anti-theft controller doesn't match the engine ECU, the system may prevent the engine from operating normally, with the warning light turning on as well. If the engine warning light is on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally. If there are issues like shaking or smoke, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Never restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can start, turn it off and wait 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'ON' position (without pressing the clutch). The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. Technicians can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault code, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.

How much air pressure should be in tires?

Tire pressure is generally normal between 2.2-2.5 kPa. In spring, when the temperature is around 20 degrees, the tire pressure should be maintained at 2.3-2.5 kPa. However, as the temperature and road surface temperature gradually increase, especially during high-speed or long-distance driving, tire pressure can easily rise, increasing the risk of a blowout. In summer, road surface temperatures can reach 60-70 degrees Celsius. If the tire pressure is too high while driving, even a slight impact on a weak spot of the tire can easily cause a blowout. Information about tire pressure is as follows: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and its damage can lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is like the blood pressure of the car, and its level plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. 2. Air pressure is the lifeblood of the tire; both too high and too low can shorten the tire's lifespan. Low pressure increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. High pressure causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving. In case of an impact, it can lead to internal cracks and blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates wear on the tire tread and reduces its resistance to being punctured.

Does the Wuling Hongguang have an automatic transmission?

Wuling Hongguang does not have an automatic transmission. Wuling Hongguang, Wuling Hongguang S, and all Wuling vehicles adopt rear-wheel drive and manual transmission configurations, which is one of the characteristics of Wuling vehicles. Research shows that brand personality, like human personality, is unique and consistent. Here is relevant information: 1. It can be observed that Wuling's persistent pursuit of quality over the years has given customers a strong sense of trust in its quality, which is precisely the primary concern of its target consumer group. As the base of the automotive product pyramid, micro vehicles are more often used as production tools. 2. Even as living standards gradually improve and comfort is emphasized, cargo performance and space remain key concerns for customers.

How to open the trunk of an Accord?

To open the trunk of an Accord, you can press the button on the driver's door panel. Pull the switch on the rear trunk lid to close it. The car key also has a trunk release button; pressing it outside the car will unlock the trunk. Below is some related information about car trunks: 1. The trunk serves as a storage compartment for miscellaneous items, enhancing convenience in daily life. It typically contains a spare tire, a vehicle emergency kit, a tool kit, a warning triangle, and an emergency fuel tank release cable. 2. The trunk can absorb and cushion some of the impact energy in rear-end collisions, ensuring driving safety.

How to Drain the Coolant in Qoros 3?

The method to drain the coolant in Qoros 3 is: 1. Locate the coolant reservoir, which still contains some coolant; 2. Find the pipe connected to the bottom of the condenser, unscrew the clip on the pipe, and then pull the pipe out directly; 3. Once the pipe is removed, the coolant from the old reservoir will flow out, allowing it to drain completely. Taking the 2021 Qoros 3 as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4627mm, width 1839mm, height 1445mm, wheelbase 2702mm, fuel tank capacity 55l, and curb weight 1425kg.
