Reasons why a car won't start: Vehicle usage reasons: Improper fuel quality, lack of antifreeze, excessive carbon buildup; Other reasons: Apart from improper human operation, it could also be due to starter motor failure, fuel pump supply issues, injector problems, or sensor malfunctions. Fuel quality issue: Always refuel at reputable gas stations. When traveling, you can use a gauze wrapped around the fuel nozzle to filter out impurities. Lack of antifreeze: Some car owners add water or inferior antifreeze, which can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to engine block cracks. This results in the car's water pump failing to operate, preventing the engine from starting and damaging other engine components. Excessive vehicle carbon buildup: The solution is to frequently drive at high speeds to reduce carbon buildup. Additionally, there's a small trick for starting difficulties: before turning the ignition key, first turn it to the ON position, then back, and then to the START position to ignite. This allows the computer to calculate the water temperature and optimal air intake, making ignition smoother.

What Does Gravity Oil Change for Transmission Mean?

Gravity oil change involves loosening the drain plug of the transmission oil pan to allow the oil inside the transmission to drain out by gravity, and then adding new transmission oil through the fill port. Below is some relevant information about gravity oil change: 1. Advantages: The gravity oil change method is simple and quick to perform. It can replace about half to two-thirds of the oil in the transmission. The cost of the oil change is relatively inexpensive. 2. Disadvantages: The transmission oil is not changed thoroughly, especially in some transmissions where a significant amount of oil remains inside. Some transmissions cannot have their filters replaced, which can cause the newly changed transmission oil to deteriorate prematurely and fail to meet the specified service life.

What to Do If Your Car Gets Scratched While Parked on the Roadside and the Other Party Flees?

Solutions for when your car gets scratched while parked on the roadside and the other party flees: First, check your dashcam for the other party's license plate number, then call 110 directly. The police can contact the vehicle owner. The at-fault driver can be identified through the internet system by providing evidence, and you will receive corresponding compensation. If the scratch occurs in a parking lot, the attendant bears some responsibility, meaning the parking lot personnel should cover part of the cost. If your car gets scratched in a residential parking space, first review the contract signed with the property management to see if there is any corresponding liability, then discuss allocation with the property management. If there are cameras where the car was parked, promptly request the property personnel to retrieve the footage. If no such equipment is available, it's best to inquire with nearby stores or passersby to gather information.

What are the speed limit regulations on highways?

Highways should indicate the driving speed of lanes, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. Highway speeding penalty standards: If the speeding is within 10% of the prescribed speed limit, no fine will be imposed. If the speeding is more than 10% but less than 20% of the prescribed speed limit, a fine will be imposed and 3 points will be deducted; if the speeding is more than 20% but less than 50% of the prescribed speed limit, a fine will be imposed and 3 points will be deducted; if the speeding is more than 50% of the prescribed speed limit, 12 points will be deducted. Precautions for high-speed driving: Do not drive while fatigued, as it is extremely dangerous on highways. The lane closest to the central divider is the overtaking lane; if you are not overtaking, try not to drive in the overtaking lane for a long time. Always overtake from the overtaking lane, never from the far-right emergency lane, as it is very dangerous. Avoid weaving between lanes, do not switch between the overtaking lane and the driving lane frequently, and never make sudden decelerations or stops on the driving lane without warning.

How to Charge an Electric Vehicle?

Methods for charging an electric vehicle: First, plug in the battery connector, then plug in the power source connector. Always use a dedicated charger for charging an electric vehicle. During charging, the charger may heat up quickly and reach high temperatures, especially in summer. Avoid placing the charger on objects prone to heat or combustion, or on the seat of the electric vehicle to prevent fire hazards. It is advisable to charge the vehicle promptly based on usage. Importantly, never wait until the battery is completely drained before charging. Currently, electric vehicles use two types of batteries: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. If the electric vehicle uses a lead-acid battery, the first five charges should be performed when the remaining battery level is between 30% to 40%, and the charging time should ideally be controlled to around 10 hours. For electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries, it is recommended to fully discharge the battery before the first three charges, with the charging time also controlled to around 10 hours. The number of full charge-discharge cycles for an electric vehicle battery is approximately 300. With regular maintenance during daily use, the battery's lifespan can extend beyond 3 years.

What Causes Metal Shavings in the Transmission?

Metal shavings are caused by wear of the clutch copper or aluminum sleeves inside the gearbox. A small amount is normal, but excessive amounts can affect the normal operation of the transmission. Below are specific introductions to different types of transmissions: 1. CVT: CVT is a continuously variable transmission. Its advantages include fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, and smooth operation, but it has weaker acceleration feel and limited torque capacity for high-torque engines. 2. AT: AT is an automatic transmission. Its advantages include ease of operation and relaxed driving, as the automatic transmission selects the most suitable gear based on vehicle speed and feedback from the onboard computer. However, maintenance costs and fuel consumption are higher. 3. DCT and DSG: Both DCT and DSG are dual-clutch transmissions. They offer fast gear shifting, high efficiency, and low fuel consumption. However, they require high production precision, resulting in higher costs, and offer relatively poorer comfort.
