Do modern cars still need a break-in period?

It is still advisable to perform a certain break-in period. The details are as follows: 1. Most new cars nowadays undergo a "cold break-in" before leaving the factory. This process involves mounting the engine on a specialized machine and using an electric motor to run it in. During this process, most burrs on the components can be worn away. Since the engine is not operating during the cold break-in, there is no high temperature generated by fuel combustion, hence the term "cold break-in." 2. Not all vehicles undergo a "cold break-in" before leaving the factory, as not all car manufacturers have the technical capabilities for this process. Additionally, performing a "cold break-in" on every engine does not mean that further break-in is unnecessary. You can check your vehicle's user manual for specific details. If you are unsure, it is still best to perform a certain break-in period.

What Causes Abnormal Noise in Car Fans?

Abnormal noise from the car's air conditioning fan is usually caused by the following reasons: 1. Unreplaced air filter: Different sounds inside the air duct are due to the long-term non-replacement of the air filter, leading to foreign objects like leaves in the duct; 2. Poor air conditioning heat dissipation: Inadequate heat dissipation or blocked pipes can cause abnormal noise from the compressor. High internal pressure in the compressor reduces its service life and should be addressed immediately; 3. Generator or air conditioning belt failure: Faulty bearings in the generator or air conditioning belt tensioner, or the tensioner losing its automatic belt adjustment function, can result in abnormal noise.

Does the Volkswagen New Bora have an anti-collision beam?

2013 New Bora does not have a rear anti-collision beam, while the 2012 model does. Here is more information about anti-collision beams: 1. The anti-collision beam is part of the vehicle's safety structure, located at the very front and rear of the main body structure. It is generally made of cold-rolled steel pressed into a U-shaped channel and connected to the frame longitudinal beam, although some models use fiberglass, which is not as strong as cold-rolled steel. 2. The main function of the anti-collision beam is to transmit impact force. When the front or rear of the vehicle is significantly impacted, the force first acts on the anti-collision beam, which transmits it to the connection points with the body, usually the longitudinal beams. Between the beam and the longitudinal beams, there is also a small energy-absorbing box structure. 3. In the case of a light collision, only the energy-absorbing box may be crushed, while the beam itself and the main body structure remain undamaged. In this case, only the energy-absorbing box needs to be replaced during repairs, resulting in lower repair costs. 4. In the case of a heavy collision, the impact force can be transmitted to the longitudinal beams, where the sturdy body structure takes on the impact, significantly improving the vehicle's collision safety performance.
