Specific methods to distinguish between stock cars and new cars are as follows: 1. Check the odometer mileage: When picking up the car, besides checking for any scratches on the exterior, also pay attention to whether the mileage falls within the normal range. Generally, the mileage from the factory to the 4S dealership should not exceed 20-50 kilometers, and in most cases, it should not exceed 10 kilometers. 2. Observe the overall appearance and tire wear: Check for any color discrepancies on the new car and whether there are any scratches on the body. 3. Check the vehicle information on the car's nameplate: The nameplate contains details such as the production date, model, chassis number, and engine number. 4. Look at the date on the glass corners: The markings on the glass corners indicate the manufacturing date of the glass. Ensure that the dates on both sides match; if they don't, it means one piece has been replaced. 5. Inspect the engine compartment for any damage: Open the hood to check if the interior is clean, start the engine to listen for any unusual noises, and also verify that the oil level is within the normal range and that the oil is not dirty.

The Pros and Cons of Stage 1 ECU Tuning

The pros and cons of Stage 1 ECU tuning are as follows: 1. Cons: Stage 1 ECU tuning may easily cause the car's computer board to crash, leading to potential safety hazards. Stage 1 ECU tuning is also known as ECU upgrade, car computer upgrade, or ECU modification, but the correct technical term is ECU remapping. It refers to improving performance by altering ECU software parameters without changing the hardware. This modification is the least costly and ensures the hardware remains within redundancy limits. Specific parameter adjustments include fuel injection or ignition timing, but the results are often not ideal. Blindly increasing power may extend braking distances, creating safety risks. 2. Pros: There is a certain improvement in power output.

What type of oil is added to a car wash pump?

Car wash pumps use No. 67 engine oil. Below are detailed explanations regarding oil addition for car wash pumps: 1. Definition: Car wash pumps generally employ micro high-pressure water pumps, referring to miniature pumps with substantial pressure. These pumps are commonly used for spraying, cleaning, and similar applications, characterized by high pressure, smooth operation, and compact size. 2. Precautions: When using a car wash pump, the pump barrel must be filled with water. After operation, the stored water inside the pump typically won't leak in the short term, allowing immediate use upon switching on the power during the next operation. If the machine remains unused for an extended period, accumulated water inside the pump should be completely drained to prevent corrosion of internal components by stagnant water.

Why does the car ABS pump keep buzzing?

Car ABS pump keeps buzzing is the self-check of the ABS pump. The following are specific introductions to the ABS light being on: 1. Front wheel skidding: such as driving on icy or snowy roads. Because the rotation conditions of the front and rear wheels are different, and the brakes are applied at the same time, it is easy to cause a difference in the braking of the front and rear wheels, and the ABS light will come on. In this case, stepping on the brakes a few more times will turn off the ABS light. 2. The sensor is covered by contaminants: The sensing part of the ABS speed sensor on the wheel is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal, making the ABS computer unable to determine the speed, unable to determine the wheel's slip rate, and thus unable to issue corresponding action commands to adjust the braking.
