What is the normal water temperature for a diesel engine?

2 Answers

Diesel engines typically operate at lower temperatures compared to gasoline engines due to their characteristics of long-term operation at low speeds and high torque. The normal water temperature ranges between 70°C and 95°C, with the ideal operating temperature during normal driving being between 70°C and 80°C. If the temperature exceeds 90°C and remains persistently high, it indicates abnormal engine operating conditions. Additional knowledge about the thermostat is as follows: 1. Function of the thermostat: When the engine temperature is too high, you can try removing the thermostat. The thermostat's role is to continuously monitor the coolant temperature in the engine, maintaining the water temperature at an ideal range of around 80°C to 90°C, ensuring an optimal working temperature environment for the engine. 2. Specific functions of the thermostat: The thermostat is located on the inlet pipe leading to the heat exchanger and plays a crucial role in maintaining a constant water temperature. It also helps in flushing and cleaning the radiator and intercooler, where professional radiator cleaning agents can be used. Additionally, it is important to check whether the electric fan is spinning fast enough and if the water pump is functioning properly, as any issues in the water circulation system can significantly impact cooling efficiency.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience with diesel vehicles, I've found it perfectly normal for the water temperature to stay around the midline, typically between 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. During summer highway driving, the temperature might rise slightly, approaching 95 degrees is still acceptable, but exceeding 100 degrees warrants immediate attention as it could indicate radiator blockage or insufficient coolant. I once personally experienced the water temperature warning light coming on, and after pulling over, discovered the fan had failed—replacing it solved the issue. I recommend regularly checking the coolant level and fan operation, as excessively high temperatures can easily damage the engine head gasket and increase repair costs, especially ensuring the system is in good condition before long trips.

Does the compulsory traffic insurance need to be transferred for a used car?

Yes, it is required. If the compulsory traffic insurance purchased by the original owner follows the vehicle, it will be transferred to the new owner upon the vehicle's transfer. If the compulsory traffic insurance does not follow the vehicle, the owner will need to go to the insurance company to complete the transfer procedures for the vehicle insurance. The owner needs to prepare the vehicle's registration book, the new owner's driving license, copies of the new and old owners' ID cards, the invoice issued during the used car transaction, and the amendment application form provided by the insurance company to complete the transfer of the compulsory traffic insurance. Important Notes Once you purchase a used car, promptly complete the transfer procedures for the compulsory traffic insurance and other insurance policies. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, the beneficiary will still be the original owner, and the new owner will not be able to receive compensation. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) within the liability limits in the event of a road traffic accident involving the insured vehicle. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies depending on the vehicle type, with the main influencing factor being the number of car seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, the exemptions for compulsory traffic insurance cover losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, offering much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will provide compensation within the liability limits, with no deductible or exemption clauses. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the formal written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill their obligations. The policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, not restricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, fast and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it. If a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, with electronic unification making it convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of each vehicle.

Is the license plate number directly transferred when a motorcycle is transferred?

Motorcycle license plate numbers cannot be directly transferred. Details are as follows: Different situations: The vehicle can be transferred, but the license plate cannot, so the license plate number will be changed after the vehicle is transferred; If the original owner has used the license plate for more than 3 years and sells the vehicle, they can apply to retain the license plate for future use on a new vehicle; If the license plate has been used for less than 3 years or the owner does not wish to retain it, the DMV will reclaim the license plate. Retaining the license plate: When transferring the vehicle, the DMV will cancel the original license plate and registration certificate, and issue new ones to the transferee. If the owner has held the motorcycle for more than 3 years, they can apply to retain the license plate for 6 months when transferring the vehicle. During this period, the owner can purchase another vehicle and apply to use the retained license plate.

What is the difference between retreaded tires and new tires?

The differences between retreaded tires and new tires lie in two aspects: tread patterns and markings. The details are as follows: Tread patterns: In terms of tread patterns, due to non-standard processing of inferior retreaded tires, their tread grooves are relatively shallow. Additionally, retreaded tires often have overly vibrant colors, whereas genuine new tires do not. Markings: Generally, the markings on retreaded tires are reapplied. If you can scratch off these markings with your fingernail, it is a retreaded tire. Alternatively, small triangular symbols are usually printed on the outer side of the tire. When these symbols are reached, it indicates significant tire wear and that the tire should be scrapped. Inferior retreaded tires have markings that are manually applied by small workshops, so you can also identify them by trying to peel off the markings with your hand.

What Causes the Low-Pressure Pipe of a Car Air Conditioner to Freeze?

The low-pressure pipe of a car air conditioner freezes due to either excessive refrigerant or a damaged thermistor. Detailed explanations and solutions are as follows: Excessive refrigerant: When too much refrigerant is added to the system, the resulting high pressure causes the expansion valve to remain wide open, allowing excessive refrigerant flow, which leads to freezing of the low-pressure pipe. External hot water can be poured over the pipe, and a tapping test can be performed on the heating pipes to identify the frozen section by sound. Repeatedly applying hot water can then melt the ice at the affected area. Damaged thermistor: While condensation on the low-pressure pipe is normal, freezing indicates that the air conditioning system should stop operating if the thermistor is functioning properly. A frozen condition suggests thermistor failure. The frozen heater core should be removed and thawed.
