The size of the Sylphy wiper blades is 26+14 inches, and they use a U-type interface. Extended content: The difference between parallel wipers and opposed wipers: 1. Parallel wipers can use slightly shorter wiper blades (the wiper on the co-pilot side is usually shorter), and can be paired with a smaller wiper motor, so this type of wiper is generally more economical. Due to the shorter wiper on the co-pilot side, there is a higher chance of a blind spot in the upper right corner of the co-pilot side during the wiping process. 2. Compared to parallel wipers, opposed wipers have longer linkage mechanisms and require more space in the water channel for installation, so the cost is generally higher than that of parallel wipers. Additionally, the coverage area of the co-pilot side wiper in opposed wipers is larger than that in parallel wipers, resulting in relatively smaller blind spots. However, opposed wipers are more prone to water accumulation in the middle of the windshield, which can affect visibility.

As someone who has driven a Sylphy for several years, I remember the wiper sizes clearly: 26 inches for the driver's side and 18 inches for the passenger side. When buying new wipers, make sure not to get the wrong size—otherwise, they won’t wipe cleanly, leaving your vision blurred. Last time, I bought a cheap pair that didn’t fit tightly, and I almost had a collision in heavy rain—it was too dangerous. I recommend checking the rubber blades every six months for signs of aging. If you notice streaks or hear skipping sounds, it’s time to replace them. I prefer reliable brands like Bosch or Michelin for their durability and peace of mind. Don’t neglect cleaning the windshield either—lightly wiping the wiper blades with a damp cloth each month can extend their lifespan. Replacing them is simple DIY work that saves money and ensures safety.

I often drive long distances, and the size of the wiper blades greatly impacts safety. The standard for the Sylphy is 26 inches for the main blade and 18 inches for the secondary blade. If the sizes don't match, incomplete coverage can obstruct your vision in the rain, leading to accidents. Last year during a heavy rainstorm, I witnessed a car crash into a guardrail because its wiper blades were too small to provide clear visibility. I recommend checking and replacing them every season, especially before the rainy season, and choosing reliable brands like 3M or OEM parts to ensure stability. When installing new blades, remember to spray water to clean off any residue on the glass to reduce friction and prevent scratches, and adjust the nozzle angle for even spray distribution. Regular maintenance is crucial—don't wait for problems to arise before taking action. This way, you can drive with peace of mind and efficiency.

I noticed the size of the Sylphy's wiper blades when I first got the car. The main one is 26 inches and the secondary one is 18 inches, which is just the right size for daily use. I've replaced them a few times myself with aftermarket parts bought online—they're cheap and easy to install, just follow the instructions. I don't drive much, but when it rains, clear visibility is a must; otherwise, it's hard to see road signs and it really ruins the mood. Spraying some dedicated glass cleaner when washing the windshield can reduce dirt buildup and extend the wiper blades' lifespan. The size is fixed, so don't change it arbitrarily to avoid poor fit. During regular car washes, remember to wipe the rubber part of the wiper blades to prevent aging. Safety first—don't take it lightly.

Our Nissan Sylphy has been running for several years, and the standard wiper sizes are 26 and 18 inches. There are money-saving maintenance tips: avoid always going to 4S stores for overpriced services—just buy parts online for tens of yuan, ensuring size compatibility. Replace them every six months to prevent rubber hardening, which can cause slipping in the rain, especially in winter when cold weather makes them prone to cracking, affecting safety. When cleaning the windshield, use warm water to wipe the wiper blades to remove oil stains and prevent blurring. I also add a water softener to extend their lifespan. Overall, it’s economical and practical, giving peace of mind while driving.

Should the Broken Fuel Tank Cap Tether Be Replaced?

The broken fuel tank cap tether needs to be replaced. If not replaced, the fuel tank cap cannot be properly closed, leading to the following issues: Safety concerns: Exposure to open flames or static electricity may cause a fire. Fuel consumption issues: Without the cap, fuel is prone to evaporation in summer, resulting in reduced gasoline levels. Fuel line clogging issues: Dust and debris may enter the fuel tank and clog the fuel lines. Rainwater ingress issues: Large amounts of rainwater entering the fuel tank can cause engine problems.

Which company is the Leapmotor S01 from?

It was jointly invested and established in 2015 by Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. and its major founders. Here is some relevant information about the Leapmotor S01: 1. Exterior: Overall, the Leapmotor S01 has a relatively compact body. Its two-door and fastback design clearly indicate that it is a sports car. The combination of a short wheelbase and sports car setup should have been exciting, but it is separated from being a premium compact sports car by a somewhat indescribable front fascia. The somewhat dull-looking headlights, the large black grille, and the cliff-like front end make the S01 too unconventional. 2. Interior: The interior of the Leapmotor S01 is much more conventional. The dashboard features a popular dual-screen design. Apart from four buttons on the lower trim panel for unlocking, locking, hazard lights, and trunk release, all other functions are integrated into the central touchscreen. Additionally, because the Leapmotor S01's gear shifter occupies the position of the right-hand wiper stalk on the steering wheel, the wiper controls are integrated into the left-hand stalk, which also includes the turn signals and high beam functions.

Does a Broken Sensor Affect Driving?

Sensor failure affects driving. The impacts of a broken sensor include: The engine malfunction indicator light turns on; momentary stalling or engine shutdown occurs when starting the vehicle or decelerating to a stop while driving; reduced engine acceleration performance; discrepancies in the speed displayed on the dashboard; and unstable engine idling. Introduction to Sensors: Automotive sensors are input devices for the vehicle's computer system. They convert various operational conditions (such as speed, temperature of various mediums, engine operating conditions, etc.) into electrical signals for the computer, ensuring the engine operates in an optimal state. There are many sensors in a vehicle. When diagnosing sensor faults, one should not only consider the sensor itself but the entire circuit where the fault occurs.

Is There a Problem with Mixing 95 and 92 Gasoline?

92 and 95 gasoline can be mixed once or twice, but long-term mixing is not recommended. The meaning of gasoline grades: They only represent the octane rating, with 92-grade containing 92% and 95-grade containing 95%. The quality level of the gasoline is the same, so the effect of mixing is the neutralization of the octane rating. Therefore, the quality of the gasoline is the neutralization of the octane rating, resulting in a "mid-grade" gasoline. The difference between 92 and 95 gasoline: Lies in their methane values. Higher gasoline grades indicate better anti-knock properties. Luxury car engines, which have higher requirements for gasoline, need higher-grade gasoline, while regular cars can use 92-grade. Generally, higher-grade gasoline is better.

Does a Deteriorated Three-Way Catalytic Converter Affect the Car?

It does not affect the car, but it has a significant impact on the environment. Introduction to the Three-Way Catalytic Converter: It is the most important external purification device installed in the automobile exhaust system, which can convert harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted by automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. Symptoms of a damaged Three-Way Catalytic Converter include: Shortly after the vehicle starts, the exhaust manifold emits a noticeable red burning phenomenon towards the Three-Way Catalytic Converter, and a hissing air leakage and gurgling sound can be heard when accelerating; if the Three-Way Catalytic Converter is damaged, the secondary oxygen sensor will not be able to accurately provide data to the driving computer, and the engine fault light should come on; a pungent, foul odor can be smelled during idling or acceleration.
