When adding refrigerant to a car, the low-pressure side should be between 1.5 to 2.5 kg, and the high-pressure side should be between 13.5 kg to 15.5 kg. The car's air conditioning system requires refrigerant, and it should be regularly replenished. Otherwise, the car's air conditioning may experience slower cooling speeds and reduced cooling efficiency. Here are some important points to note when adding refrigerant to a car's air conditioning system: 1. Before vacuuming, completely replace any refrigerant that is not of the same type, as mixing different types can lead to poor performance. 2. When replacing air conditioning components such as the compressor, high and low-pressure pipes, or the dryer, ensure the pipe openings are sealed. 3. Before adding refrigerant, check for leaks, replace any damaged sealing rings, inspect the amount of refrigerant oil, and add more if necessary. 4. Follow the specified refrigerant quantity, which has a range of + and - values, and avoid adding too much or too little. 5. Pay attention to the type of refrigerant, as there are differences between R12 (Freon) and R134A (environmentally friendly refrigerant).

Is the Camry 2.5 engine imported or domestically produced?

The Camry 2.5 engine is a domestically produced engine, manufactured by Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Co., Ltd. The Camry 2.5 engine model is A25A, with a maximum power of 154kw, maximum horsepower of 209Ps, and peak torque of 250Nm. For daily maintenance of the Camry 2.5 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 in 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 requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept 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, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; 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 part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a 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.

Can a Catalytic Converter Be Used After Being Soaked in Water?

A catalytic converter can still be used after being soaked in water. Relevant information about catalytic converters is as follows: 1. Catalytic Converter: The core component of a catalytic converter is a porous ceramic material installed in a specially designed exhaust pipe. It is called a "carrier" because it does not participate in the catalytic reaction itself but is coated with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, palladium, and rare earth coatings. It is the most important external purification device installed in a vehicle's exhaust system. 2. Function: The catalytic converter plays a crucial role in the exhaust purification system of gasoline vehicles by converting harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides into non-toxic and harmless substances like water, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and oxygen (O2) through oxidation and reduction reactions.

Can a new car without license plates drive on the highway?

New cars without license plates or temporary license plates are not allowed to drive on the highway. Additional information is as follows: 1. Legal Basis: According to Article 8 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the state implements a registration system for motor vehicles. Motor vehicles can only be driven on roads after being registered by the traffic management department of the public security authorities. For motor vehicles that have not yet been registered but need to be temporarily driven on roads, temporary license plates must be obtained. Under the new traffic regulations, motor vehicles without license plates are strictly prohibited from being driven on roads. New cars must display either regular license plates or temporary license plates to be driven legally. 2. Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates are paper motor vehicle license plates issued to allow temporary road use, also known as temporary driving permits. These are temporary vehicle movement certificates issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authorities for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration.
