If the car generator is broken, the following problems will occur: 1. The car lights or dashboard lights will become dim: The alternator is part of the vehicle's electrical system. Its main function is to provide power to operate the starter, ignition, and all electronic accessories in the car. If the generator is damaged, the car lights or dashboard lights will start to dim. Once the instrument lights or headlights become dim, this is a clear sign of potential alternator failure. 2. Damage to the battery or accumulator: A car battery, as a supplement to the generator, can only be charged to the point where it can accept the charge. If the battery is insufficiently charged or damaged, the car will continue to run, but after a short time, the lights will become dim again, indicating a problem with the charging system. If the vehicle has difficulty fully charging the battery after starting, this problem may be related to the alternator. 3. The car generator belt is a system belt that works in conjunction with the alternator. If the belt does not rotate freely, excess friction will cause the belt to heat up, producing a rubber burning smell. If you detect a smell similar to an electrical fire, this may indicate that the alternator pulley on the belt is slipping, resulting in poor generator output.

What are the reasons why the Mercedes-Benz air conditioner does not cool when the AC is turned on?

Mercedes-Benz air conditioner does not cool when the AC is turned on for the following reasons: 1. Damaged air conditioning flap: Damage to the air conditioning flap is relatively rare. It is located in the middle and lower part of the instrument panel and can only be replaced if damaged. 2. Dirty condenser: When the condenser is dirty, the heat dissipation of the air conditioner becomes poor, leading to reduced cooling efficiency, so regular cleaning is necessary. 3. Damaged throttle valve and expansion valve: Malfunctions in the throttle valve and expansion valve can cause poor air conditioning performance. 4. Aging and slack of the compressor drive belt: The refrigerant relies on the moving parts of the air conditioning compressor, and a slack drive belt can cause the compressor to slip during operation. 5. Lack of refrigerant: Car air conditioners require refrigerant replenishment every two to three years of use.

What are the symptoms of a bad engine crankshaft?

There are many symptoms of a bad engine crankshaft. Here is a detailed introduction to engine crankshaft damage: 1. Specific symptoms: When the crankshaft is damaged, the crankshaft clamp will loosen and swing up and down. In severe cases, the engine may be directly scrapped. There will be no high-voltage electricity, no fuel injection, failure to start the car, and the engine fault light on the dashboard will illuminate. 2. The role of the crankshaft and engine: It bears the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other accessories on the engine. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from rotating masses, periodically changing gas inertial forces, and reciprocating inertial forces, causing it to bear bending and torsional loads. The engine converts the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston to perform work.

How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid to the Leiling?

To add windshield washer fluid to the Leiling car: Open the engine hood, locate the black cap marked with a wiper symbol, and open the reservoir cap to add the fluid. More details about car windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Liquid windshield washer fluid is divided into concentrated and non-concentrated types. Non-concentrated types can be added directly. 1.1 Concentrated windshield washer fluid needs to be diluted before use; simply follow the instructions on the manual. 1.2 The car's windshield washer fluid capacity is approximately 1.5L, so choose a container for diluting the fluid with a capacity of 1.25L to 1.5L. 1.3 Do not overfill when adding the fluid; some foam at the container mouth does not affect usage. 2. The method for adding solid windshield washer fluid is as follows: 2.1 Open the front engine cover and locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir. 2.2 Open the packaging of the solid windshield washer fluid and place it into the reservoir. 2.3 Add clean water until the reservoir is full. 2.4 Wait for about 5 minutes until the solid windshield washer fluid is completely dissolved.

Will honking in a no-honking zone result in penalty points?

Honking in a no-honking zone typically results in a 3-point deduction. Below is an introduction to road regulations: Introduction to road safety regulations: Drivers are prohibited from honking in designated no-honking areas or road sections. Reckless honking not only disrupts citizens' normal travel but also creates discordant noise in civilized cities, making it necessary to enforce regulations against such behavior. According to Articles 62 and 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators may receive a warning or a fine, along with a 3-point deduction. No-honking road sections: Honking is prohibited in residential areas, schools, hospitals, or congested road sections. Examples of violations include: drivers aggressively honking to hurry pedestrians crossing the road; honking when other vehicles change lanes or obstruct their path; or impatiently honking at slow-starting or slow-moving vehicles ahead. Many regions now have honking detection systems in place. If a driver honks illegally, the system will capture the violation, and penalties will be imposed according to relevant regulations.

Is an 8G Dash Cam Enough for Car Use?

An 8G dash cam is sufficient for car use. The 8G memory capacity is relatively small, but it is adequate for daily driving if there are no specific requirements for video quality, clip duration, or time span of the recordings. However, it is recommended to purchase a memory card with larger capacity, as more memory allows for more video storage and longer recording times. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle operation. After installation, it can record the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. Taking 1080P video quality as an example, an 8G memory card can typically record about 60 minutes of video; a 16G card can record 100 minutes; and a 64G card can record up to 400 minutes. Dash cams use loop recording. When the TF card is full, it will automatically overwrite the earliest recorded data. The video storage method of dash cams is such that if the internal storage is insufficient, it will automatically overwrite the oldest footage.

What Type of Engine Oil is Suitable for the Verna?

Hyundai Verna uses Beijing Hyundai's original engine oil with a grade of 5W-20. Any engine oil of the same specification and grade can be used. In addition to the original engine oil, brands like Shell, Mobil, and Castrol are also suitable choices. Here are the specific details: 1. The Verna's engine is most suitable for 5W-20 grade engine oil. If the driving environment is harsh, such as frequent driving in congested areas or for older vehicles, 5W-30 engine oil can be used. However, 5W-40 grade engine oil is rarely recommended due to its higher viscosity. Although it offers better high-temperature protection and sealing performance, the increased viscosity leads to greater engine resistance and higher fuel consumption. 2. In cold weather, using SAE-10W-30 or higher viscosity engine oil may make the engine difficult to start. Therefore, it is recommended to use SAE-0W-20, 5W-0, or 5W-30 engine oil in northern regions. Using 0W-20 engine oil can maximize fuel savings.
