Older Ford Focus models experiencing unstable idle speed can be addressed by adjusting the idle speed. If the issue persists after adjustment, it is necessary to check whether the idle jet and idle air jet are clogged. If the jets are clogged, they can be cleaned with gasoline or acetone and blown through with compressed air. If the jets are not clogged, stabilize the engine at a certain speed and listen for air leaks at the intake manifold or the lower gasket area of the carburetor. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. Purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

Where is the Wiper Motor Fuse Located?

The wiper motor fuse is located inside the fuse box in the engine compartment. To locate the wiper fuse, you need to refer to the diagram on the fuse box cover, as the design varies across different vehicle models. Types of Wiper Fuses: There are two types of automotive fuses: high-current and low-current fuses. However, medium to low-current fuses are more commonly used in most vehicles. The wiper fuse discussed here is a blade-type fuse, typically marked with 25A (colorless and transparent), which indicates the ampere rating of the fuse. Therefore, it's crucial to match the correct fuse type when replacing it to avoid using the wrong model. Functions of the Wiper: Helps the vehicle maintain a safe distance from the centerline of the left lane, assists the driver in determining the position of the left wheels, and aids in judging the position of the right wheels.

What is the fuel consumption of the Transit medium wheelbase medium roof diesel model?

The fuel consumption of the Transit medium wheelbase medium roof diesel model is 7.7L/100km, which is the comprehensive fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Correct fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ distance traveled × 100 = fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The data of fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain. Generally, a full fuel tank is used as the initial data. After driving a certain distance, the fuel tank is filled again, and the fuel refill data provided by the gas station is taken as the final measurement. Fuel-saving tips: Idling for more than 1 minute consumes the same amount of fuel as starting the engine once. The fuel consumed by 5 minutes of engine idling can allow the vehicle to travel more than 1 kilometer.

Is a Lottery Required When Changing Cars?

If you already have a motor vehicle and sell it, you do not need to enter a lottery; you can continue using the original license plate. Details on the Lottery for Changing Cars: If you wish to change to a new car within three years, you must sell the old car and re-enter the lottery. For those wanting to change to a new car after three years, selling the old car allows the original license plate to be retained for six months without entering a lottery, enabling the purchase of a new car. Process for Changing Cars and Registering Plates: Simply transfer the ownership of the current vehicle under your name or process an outbound transfer, which means transferring the vehicle ownership. Apply to retain the car purchase quota while applying for the transfer. After three working days, if the conditions for renewal are met, you can purchase a new or used car and proceed with the registration. If you wish to buy a used car, it must be locally sourced; used cars from other regions cannot be transferred into the local area. If you purchase a new car from another region, you can register it locally.

What Causes Abnormal Tire Pressure Indication in a Spare Tire?

The spare tire shows abnormal tire pressure because it lacks a tire pressure monitoring system. Therefore, when you switch to the spare tire, a low tire pressure warning may occur due to insufficient inflation. In this case, check the tire pressure. If the tire pressure is within the normal range, the spare tire can be used. Hazards of Overinflated or Underinflated Tires: For tires, the pressure should neither be too high nor too low. Overinflation reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to poor traction, which affects the vehicle's handling and driving stability. Underinflation during high-speed driving can cause wave-like deformation of the tire, shortening its lifespan and increasing the risk of a blowout. Introduction to Standard Tire Pressure: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar.

Can the Headlight Dust Cover Be Left Uninstalled?

It is not advisable to have headlights without a dust cover. All vehicles are equipped with headlight dust covers when they leave the factory. Effects of Not Having a Headlight Dust Cover: Without a dust cover, dust will enter the headlight. Over time, this not only affects the vehicle's appearance but also severely diminishes the headlight's illumination. Headlights are the sole tool for nighttime driving, and if dust accumulates inside, their functionality will be significantly impaired. How to Deal with Dust in Headlights: If dust enters the headlight, it is recommended to visit a professional auto repair shop or a 4S store for cleaning by professionals. If you prefer to clean it yourself, be careful not to scratch the inner walls of the headlight during the process.
