Causes and solutions for Civic's idle vibration when the air conditioning is on: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car vibration is dirty throttle or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in a lean mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. In this situation, the engine will only start easily once the carbon deposits are saturated with gasoline. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is sucked into the cylinder by the engine's vacuum force for combustion, making the mixture too rich. The engine's combustible mixture alternates between lean and rich, causing idle vibration after a cold start. The solution is to clean the fuel system and check if the idle control valve has carbon deposits, which should be cleaned. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor ignition system performance or weak spark plug firing can also lead to such issues. The solution is to check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon deposits and replace them if necessary. 3. Unstable fuel pressure: If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, throttle, replaced the fuel filter, and spark plugs but still experience idle vibration, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause body vibration. The solution is to check the fuel pressure and replace components if necessary. 4. Aging engine components: Car vibration can also be related to worn engine mounts. Engine mounts are part of the engine's vibration damping system, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during engine operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations will transfer to the steering wheel and cabin, causing idle vibration, and they need to be replaced.

Is the Mercedes-Benz C-Class rear-wheel drive?

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models. Compared to rear-wheel drive vehicles, all-wheel drive provides significantly better handling. All-wheel drive means the vehicle maintains four-wheel drive throughout the entire driving process, with the engine's torque distributed to the front and rear wheels at a fixed ratio. This driving mode ensures excellent off-road and handling performance at all times, but it cannot adjust torque distribution based on road conditions and has higher fuel consumption. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a luxury mid-size sedan under the Mercedes-Benz brand. The domestically produced version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class uses three engines: a low-power 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.

How to Solve the High Water Temperature Issue in Mercedes-Benz E200?

Solutions for high water temperature in Mercedes-Benz E200: You can replace the coolant or clean the dirt on the surface of the radiator. Most car engines are water-cooled, and water-cooled engines rely on coolant for heat dissipation. The coolant in a water-cooled engine continuously circulates within the engine to carry away excess heat. The coolant follows two circulation paths inside the engine: a major cycle and a minor cycle. When the engine is just started, the coolant undergoes the minor cycle, during which it does not pass through the radiator for cooling, helping the engine to warm up quickly. The body dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz E200 are 5024mm in length, 1854mm in width, 1477mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3014mm.

What to Do If Vehicle Fails Emission Test?

Solutions for failing vehicle emission tests include: 1. Take the vehicle to a professional repair shop for engine internal cleaning; 2. Use fuel additives and catalytic converter cleaners when refueling; 3. Replace spark plugs in a timely manner. Vehicle inspections primarily check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint finish is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records. Items checked during a vehicle inspection include: 1. Inspect the body surface for scratches or dents; 2. Check for signs of repainting in the engine compartment and along the edges under the vehicle; 3. Examine whether the gaps between doors and both sides of the front hood are symmetrical and if there are any excessively large or small gaps.
