During normal driving in summer, the car's water temperature is around 90°C. Generally, the normal operating temperature for small cars is between 80°C and 105°C (when antifreeze is added), but the usual water temperature typically remains around ninety degrees. Most ordinary cars cannot exceed 100°C for extended periods, with 105°C being the limit temperature. Additional information: 1. Overheating: If you notice the water temperature is too high, another possible reason could be the use of low-quality antifreeze. For example, if a car's water temperature reaches 110°C and checks on cooling systems and other equipment show no issues, yet the temperature remains high, replacing the antifreeze might solve the problem. 2. Note: Besides vehicle equipment issues, the quality of antifreeze is also crucial in determining water temperature. This doesn't necessarily mean you must purchase so-called original parts from a 4S dealership, but at the very least, pay attention to the purchasing channel and opt for branded, high-quality antifreeze to protect your beloved car from damage caused by high water temperatures.

What is the method for cleaning debris from a car radiator?

Car radiator debris cleaning method is: 1. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine, wait for the coolant temperature to drop, then open the expansion tank and add radiator cleaner; 2. Start the engine to activate the cooling fan, let it idle for 5 to 10 minutes; 3. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper; 4. After the coolant has completely cooled, drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant, then replace with new engine coolant. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the vehicle's cooling system. Its function is to cool the engine, prevent overheating, maintain optimal operating temperature, and extend engine lifespan.

What is the fault of unstable engine idle speed?

Engine idle instability refers to the variation in gas forces within the cylinders, causing an imbalance in power output among cylinders. This results in inconsistent horizontal forces on the pistons during the power stroke, creating an unbalanced torque that tilts the engine laterally, leading to engine vibration. The causes of unstable engine idle speed include: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body and air flow meter; 2. Heavy carbon deposits on pistons in the cylinder combustion chamber; 3. Weak spark due to faulty spark plugs; 4. Fuel pressure issues; 5. Intake manifold or various valve leaks, fuel pressure faults, low oil pressure, ignition system failures, etc., can all contribute to unstable engine idle.

What Happens If Car Spark Plugs Are Not Replaced for a Long Time?

The effects of not replacing car spark plugs for a long time are: 1. Increased fuel consumption and loss of vehicle power; 2. Difficulty in starting the car, accompanied by severe shaking during ignition; 3. Damage to the car's catalytic converter, leading to excessive exhaust emissions. A spark plug consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. The steps to replace spark plugs are: 1. Allow the engine to cool, open the hood, unplug the ignition coil connector, remove the mounting bolts, and take out the ignition coil; 2. Loosen the spark plug nut by turning it counterclockwise and extract the spark plug; 3. Use a magnetic rod to hold the new spark plug and insert it into the hole, then reinstall the ignition coil.

How to Install a Car Windshield Step by Step?

First, use a flat-head screwdriver to slowly remove the black protective strips around the windshield, then remove the wipers and the protective cover under the front windshield. Thread a wire through the sealant beneath the windshield and gently pull it apart until all the sealant around the entire windshield is loosened. Use a small blade to carefully scrape off the black sealant remaining on the car, then use sandpaper for final cleanup until the metal frame's color is exposed. Wipe off any dust around the newly purchased windshield with a cloth. Apply the purchased polyurethane sealant to the frame of the car windshield.
