Peugeot 408 1.8 burning oil solutions are as follows: 1. Replace the crankshaft bearing: Excessive wear of engine components can lead to excessive clearance, causing too much oil to splash onto the cylinder wall, far exceeding the oil ring's scraping capacity; excessive clearance in the crankshaft bearing will cause oil to leak from one or more pressure-lubricated bearings. 2. Replace the valve stem seal: Engine oil burning caused by improper assembly or failure of engine components. The valve stem seal may fall off or age. 3. Replace with high-quality oil: Poor quality engine repairs or improper selection of parts is one of the reasons for oil burning.

Why can't the car window go up and down?

The reasons why the car window glass cannot go up and down: deformation or damage of the glass mud slot; loose screws fixing the lifter; damage to the window regulator; deviation in the installation position of the guide rail. For electric windows that cannot go up and down, first check whether it is a problem with some windows or all windows cannot go up and down. The following is an introduction to the car one-touch window function: 1. Function introduction: The one-touch window has two gears. When you want to open part of the window, you can use the first gear. To fully open the window, you can press it all the way down, and there will be a very small sound and feedback force. At this time, you can let it automatically lower the window. Generally, buttons with one-touch window function have anti-pinch function. For cars that often carry children, it is best to have this function, and the driver must lock all four windows on the control side while driving. 2. Definition: One-touch window refers to a system where the car window glass can be controlled to go up and down with one button. Ordinary electric windows require holding down the switch, and the window stops moving when the button is released at the desired position.

Which direction do the wheels turn when the steering wheel is turned left?

How the wheels turn when the car steering wheel is turned "left" or "right": When moving forward, turning left makes the car turn left, and turning right makes it turn right. Below is an introduction to the car steering wheel: 1. Steering wheel: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of movement in cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. 2. Function: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its purpose is to transform the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required from the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and optimizes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.

What causes the dashboard lights to go out and the car to fail to start when ignition is attempted?

When the dashboard lights go out and the car fails to start upon ignition, it may indicate a malfunction in the ignition system. Ignition system faults can be categorized into two types based on their location: low-voltage circuit faults and high-voltage circuit faults. 1. Common low-voltage circuit faults include: insufficient battery charge; poor or incorrect wiring connections; poor battery grounding; damaged distributor or Hall sensor; faulty ignition switch or poor wiring; damaged transistor ignition control unit or poor wiring. Diagnostic methods for low-voltage circuit faults mostly involve using an ammeter or voltmeter to check each wire sequentially to identify and eliminate the fault point. 2. Common high-voltage circuit faults include: detached or leaking high-voltage wires; cracked or punctured distributor cap; eroded or punctured distributor rotor; excessive or insufficient spark plug electrode gap; excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs; damaged spark plug insulator; damaged ignition coil or detached wiring. High-voltage circuit faults are often diagnosed using the high-voltage spark test method, which involves removing the central high-voltage wire from the distributor or a cylinder's high-voltage wire, placing the wire end 3-6mm away from the engine block, and starting the engine to test for spark.

Is neutral gear N or P?

Neutral gear is N, used for temporary stops; P is the parking gear, used for long-term parking. Neutral gear generally refers to the state where the gear lever of a motor vehicle is not placed in any forward or reverse gear, and the transmission is completely disengaged from the drive wheels. For manual transmissions, the neutral position is in the middle, while for automatic transmissions, it is marked as "N". Coasting in neutral has long been considered a fuel-saving practice, especially among most truck drivers who often turn off the engine and coast in neutral to save fuel. However, for fuel-injected engine cars, coasting in neutral should be used with caution, and turning off the engine while coasting in neutral is even more inadvisable. Once the gear lever is placed in neutral for coasting, the drive wheels lose their driving force, and the connection between the engine and the drive wheels is severed. The car then moves forward by its own inertia. If an emergency arises requiring braking during this time, all braking force must be provided by the brakes alone. This demands that the braking system supply a large amount of braking force in a very short time, but the braking system's capacity is limited. Therefore, this will inevitably affect braking performance, at least lengthening the braking distance.

What are the causes of insufficient transmission pressure?

The causes of insufficient transmission pressure are: 1. Hydraulic oil: Insufficient hydraulic oil in the transmission or the hydraulic oil does not meet the specified standards. Generally, this type of transmission must use the specified hydraulic oil, such as No. 8 hydraulic transmission oil or the hydraulic oil specified by the manufacturer. Ordinary hydraulic oil is not allowed as a substitute. 2. Clogging: The oil filter in the oil pan is clogged, resulting in too little hydraulic oil passing through. This filter is usually a metal mesh filter, and the most common failure is that the oil filter is not replaced for a long time, and the surface is clogged with various impurities, gums, metal debris, etc. 3. Air leakage: The oil pipe from the oil pan to the transmission pump has air leakage or internal damage or delamination. Air leakage will cause the transmission pump to have insufficient oil suction or even fail to suck oil. Delamination will cause the hydraulic oil passage to narrow, both of which will lead to insufficient pressure in the hydraulic system. 4. Wear: The transmission pump is damaged or excessively worn, resulting in insufficient pressure. Or the transmission pump drive mechanism (shaft gear) is damaged, and the transmission pump cannot rotate. The most common issue is excessive wear of the internal splines of the shaft gear, which cannot drive the transmission pump.

What car has an 'i' logo?

The car with an 'i' logo is the WEY automobile. The WEY brand logo features a unique vertical design, inspired by the hometown of its founder, Wei Jianjun—Baoding. In front of the Zhili Governor's Office in this ancient city stood the tallest flagpole in the country, which is why the middle part of the WEY logo resembles a flagpole, with the English word 'POATING' (Baoding) at the bottom. The logo symbolizes WEY's ambition to set the benchmark for Chinese luxury SUVs. Relevant information about the car logo is as follows: 1. Introduction: The 'car logo' is the abbreviation for an automobile's emblem, representing various car brands. These logos often become the symbol of the automotive company. Car logos include: the car's trademark or factory emblem, product labels, engine model and serial number, vehicle model and serial number, as well as the vehicle identification number (VIN). 2. Do not alter the car logo arbitrarily: Arbitrarily changing the car logo violates the 'Motor Vehicle Management Regulations': The car logo must match the vehicle's model and is not allowed to be misused. If discovered, it will be dealt with according to national regulations concerning the technical conditions for motor vehicle operation safety.
