BMW having heating in the front but no heating in the rear is due to the following reasons: Thermostat always open or opening too early: If the thermostat is always open or opens too early, the cooling system prematurely enters a large circulation cycle. With low external temperatures, especially when starting the car, cold air quickly cools the antifreeze, resulting in lower engine water temperature and ineffective heating. Damaged or slipping water pump impeller: A damaged or slipping water pump impeller reduces the flow rate through the small heater core, causing slow heat buildup. Air lock in the engine cooling system: An air lock causes poor circulation in the cooling system, leading to high water temperature and ineffective heating. If there is always air in the cooling system, it may be due to a damaged cylinder gasket allowing air into the cooling system. If the inlet pipe of the small heater core is very hot while the outlet pipe is relatively cool, this indicates a blockage in the small heater core, which should be replaced.

What Causes Abnormal Noises from the Car Chassis?

Possible causes of abnormal noises from the car chassis include: 1. Noises during vehicle startup are generally related to suspension system failures, or may be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts. 2. Noises during turning may indicate issues with the steering system or suspension system. During turning, the vehicle's tilt causes deformation of the suspension system, which also participates in the movement. 3. Noises during driving on good road conditions may be due to faults in the braking system components, such as loose or worn parts, out-of-round brake drums, or uneven brake discs. 4. Problems with the bearings connecting moving and stationary parts of the vehicle. If it's a bearing issue, the driver can identify it by lightly applying the brakes; if the noise remains unchanged when braking at a constant speed, it indicates a bearing problem. 5. Noises during driving on poor road conditions are mostly related to suspension system issues, but may also be caused by loose braking system components.

What is the displacement of the BMW 5 Series?

BMW 5 Series' engine displacement is 2.0L, equipped with turbocharging. Below is an introduction to the BMW 5 Series: 1. The BMW 5 Series is a product of the German automaker BMW, categorized as a mid-size sedan. Its stylish appearance makes it highly favored by young professionals, securing a significant share in the domestic mid-to-high-end car market. 2. The BMW 5 Series is a premium sedan, excelling in body dimensions, powertrain configuration, and performance. Here are the relevant details: (1) Dimensions: The BMW 5 Series has an exterior length, width, and height of 5047*1860*1491 (mm), with a wheelbase of 2888 mm. (2) Powertrain: The BMW 5 Series is equipped with a newly developed six-cylinder engine, but its overall power performance is average, only meeting daily needs, with slow acceleration when lightly pressing the throttle. (3) Performance: Smooth gear shifting and clear road feedback. The steering wheel is steady and precise. The chassis has good ground clearance, strong body stability, flexible steering, and excellent overall handling performance. However, fuel economy is poor, with relatively high fuel consumption.

What is the problem with insufficient engine coolant?

Engine coolant deficiency may occur due to the following reasons: 1. Leakage or evaporation caused by poor sealing. 2. When the water temperature rises, the steam inside the water channel pushes the coolant out of the reservoir. 3. Poor performance of the water pump or thermostat can lead to high water temperature in the circulation system, causing excessive pressure in the radiator and cooling system, which results in coolant flowing out from the reservoir. Precautions for using coolant are as follows: 1. Mixing coolant with water can damage the engine. 2. Avoid mixing different types of coolant together. 3. Remember to check the coolant regularly. Below is some relevant information about coolant: The main function of coolant is to cool the engine, and it also has other functions such as preventing rust. It is mainly composed of a mixture of water, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and other compounds, with specific boiling and freezing points. Particularly important is the freezing point of the coolant, which is usually below minus forty degrees Celsius.

How to Reset the Maintenance Wrench on the New Accord?

To reset the maintenance wrench on the new Accord, follow these steps: 1. With the vehicle completely stopped, set the power mode to ON. 2. After the dashboard lights up, use the left selector wheel on the steering wheel to switch the dashboard display to the warning message. 3. Finally, press the left selector wheel to complete the reset, and the maintenance wrench will be successfully reset. Additional information: 1. The Accord is a mid-size car under Honda. Its body dimensions are 4893mm × 1862mm × 1449mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 2. It comes in two versions: a fuel-powered model and a hybrid model. The fuel-powered model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine in high and low versions, with maximum power outputs of 130kw and 143kw, and peak torques of 230Nm and 260Nm.

How to Determine if a Car Bearing is Faulty?

How to identify wheel bearing damage: 1. Roll down the window and listen to determine if the noise originates outside the vehicle. 2. Increase the vehicle speed (when the humming sound is more pronounced), then shift to neutral and let the car coast, observing whether the noise comes from the engine. If the humming sound remains unchanged while coasting in neutral, it's likely a wheel bearing issue. 3. Make a temporary stop, exit the vehicle, and check if the axle temperature is normal by touching each of the four wheel hubs to roughly gauge if their temperatures are consistent (under normal brake shoe/pad clearance conditions, there's a temperature difference between front and rear wheels, with the front wheels being slightly hotter). If the temperature difference seems negligible, proceed slowly to a repair shop. 4. Lift the car using a lift (after releasing the handbrake and shifting to neutral). In the absence of a lift, use a jack to raise each wheel individually, then manually rotate all four wheels quickly. A faulty axle will produce distinctly different sounds compared to others, making this method highly effective for pinpointing the problematic axle.

What is the fuel consumption of the Verano?

The fuel consumption of the Verano is 5.2-6.3L/100km. The currently available Verano models include the 2022 Pro GS Jifeng Edition, 533T Lequ Edition, 532T Lexing Edition, 533T Lexiang Edition, and GS Zhuifeng Edition, totaling five variants. The official NEDC combined fuel consumption is slightly lower than the real-world consumption, ranging from 5.2-6.3L/100km. In the same class, the Sagitar's NEDC combined fuel consumption is 5.3-5.6L/100km, the Civic's is 5.0-6.4L/100km, the Excelle's is 5.3-5.9L/100km, the Corolla's is 5.3-5.9L/100km, and the Binrui's is 5.9-6.1L/100km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine in cold temperatures, further increasing fuel consumption.
