The gap between the end of the valve stem and the components of the valve transmission group when the valve is fully closed is called the valve clearance. The size of the valve clearance is determined by the engine manufacturer through testing. Generally, in a cold state, the intake valve clearance is 0.25mm~0.35mm, and the exhaust valve clearance is 0.30mm~0.35mm. Hazards of excessive or insufficient valve clearance: 1. Too small: If the valve clearance is too small, the engine may experience air leakage due to improper valve closure in a hot state, leading to reduced power or even valve burning. 2. Too large: If the valve clearance is too large, it will cause impact noise between the transmission components and between the valve and valve seat, accelerating wear. At the same time, it will also reduce the duration of valve opening, worsening the cylinder's air intake and exhaust conditions.

The valve clearance for the Weichai natural gas P13 engine is generally set at 0.35 mm for the intake valve and 0.45 mm for the exhaust valve when cold. When I used to drive this type of vehicle, I often checked it myself because too small a clearance would increase engine noise, while too large a gap would affect acceleration response, especially during long-distance transport where fuel consumption could rise significantly. Every season change, I would measure it with a feeler gauge to ensure it stayed around 0.35 mm with a fluctuation of no more than 0.05 mm. If not adjusted in time, minor issues like severe shaking could occur, or worse, it might burn out the valves, leading to repair costs of thousands of yuan. Remember, the maintenance manual recommends checking every 50,000 km. Start the engine in a quiet place and listen for noise—if it sounds too sharp, it's time to check the clearance.

What are the reasons for the Mercedes Vito air conditioning electric fan not working?

Mercedes Vito air conditioning electric fan not working reasons are as follows: Electrical system failure: This causes the car air conditioning compressor to fail to operate normally. If this problem occurs, you can check whether the circuit is unobstructed and whether the temperature sensor solenoid valve is functioning properly. Refrigerant leakage: The compressor is mainly used to compress and deliver cold air. If the compressor is not working, you can check whether the refrigerant has leaked. Without cold air to compress or deliver, the compressor naturally won't work. Severe internal aging of the compressor: Severe aging and wear inside the compressor cause it to fail to operate normally. Since the compressor plays a crucial role in the air conditioning system, if it runs at high speed for a long time, severe wear may occur, which is also one of the reasons why the compressor cannot work properly.

How to Check Tire Pressure on Buick Envision?

Buick Envision allows you to view specific tire pressure values on the dashboard. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car—damage to the engine will lead to the end of the car's lifespan, while tire pressure acts as the car's blood pressure. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. The Buick Envision is a model under SAIC General Motors, with body dimensions of 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. In terms of exterior features, the Envision comes equipped with a newly designed intelligent drag-reducing grille, aluminum roof rails, newly styled chrome dual exhaust pipes, 19-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and multi-function exterior rearview mirrors.

Does the Audi A4L brake pad have a warning reminder?

Audi A4L brake pads have a warning reminder, but only the front brakes have an alarm warning. Function of brake pad warning: When the brake pad warning indicator on the dashboard lights up, it indicates severe wear of the brake pads, which need to be replaced promptly. Some high-end models are equipped with sensors integrated with the brake pads. If the brake pads are excessively worn, the sensor wires will wear along with the brake disc or ground, causing a change in resistance and consequently a change in current. This will eventually trigger an alarm, illuminating the brake pad warning indicator on the dashboard. The warning light will turn off once the brake pads are replaced with ones in good condition. Introduction to brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake shoes or brake linings, are the most critical consumable parts in the active safety system, despite their small size. Brake pads are wear-and-tear materials that gradually wear out during use.

What is the normal RPM for the Leiling?

At the moment of engine start-up, the RPM is approximately around 1000. The engine speed varies depending on its state, with normal driving typically ranging between 1500-3500 RPM. The Leiling is a refined model under GAC Toyota. In terms of appearance, the Leiling adopts the North American version's design of the series. The front face features increased line detailing compared to the older model, with raised front fenders on both sides and headlights styled in a hook shape. The rear design has been slightly modified, featuring a black horizontal chrome strip that runs through the taillights on both sides, with the lower black trim wrapping around the rear. The Leiling's tachometer can measure the motor's RPM, among other functions. Typically, the tachometer is located inside the instrument panel, symmetrically placed alongside the speedometer. Foreign objects inside the instrument panel can cause the needle to stop moving.
