Temperature gauge not moving indicates a malfunction in the temperature sensor. Possible causes include damaged temperature sensor or faulty gauge: First, check if the wiring connections are broken or loose. If they're intact, then either the temperature sensor or the gauge is defective. You can unplug the temperature sensor connector and ground the wire. Turn the ignition key to see if the temperature gauge moves. If it moves, the temperature sensor is faulty; if it doesn't, replace the gauge. Other possible reasons: Poor connection or open circuit in the temperature gauge sensor wiring. Failure of the voltage regulator supplying stable power to the temperature gauge circuit. Open circuit in the temperature gauge power supply line. Burnout of the temperature gauge heating coil. Burnout of the temperature sensor heating coil or poor contact at the terminals.

How Much Engine Oil Should Be Added During a Maintenance?

Approximately 200 milliliters of engine oil is needed for a maintenance, but this is not fixed as different engines require varying amounts of oil. The quantity of oil used for maintenance should be based on the standard inspection of the car's engine oil dipstick. More relevant information is as follows: 1. To determine the amount of oil needed for a maintenance, first remove the oil dipstick. There is an uneven area on the surface of the dipstick, and the oil level line is determined by the checkered pattern in the concave part of the dipstick. 2. There are horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the concave part of the dipstick. Then reinsert the dipstick. During maintenance, the oil level should be within the range of the checkered lines—not too little nor too much.

Can Car Refrigerant Be Used for Home Air Conditioners?

Car refrigerant cannot be mixed with home air conditioners. Here is some relevant information about refrigerants: 1. Meaning of Refrigerant: Refrigerant is commonly known as "snow seed" in some southern regions. It is a working substance that continuously circulates in the refrigeration system and achieves cooling through changes in its own state. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the cooled medium (such as water or air) and vaporizes in the evaporator, then transfers heat to the surrounding air or water and condenses in the condenser. 2. Types of Refrigerants: Home air conditioners generally use R22 refrigerant, inverter air conditioners use R410 refrigerant, and cars use R12 refrigerant.

Is the entire surface scraped off for touch-up painting?

Touch-up painting is a repair behavior chosen based on the vehicle's condition, which may involve either a specific area or the entire surface. Below is more information about touch-up painting: 1. Process: The specific steps for touch-up painting include determining the repair area, assessing the damage level, applying protective measures, base layer treatment, masking and degreasing, applying color paint, applying clear coat, blending the edges, baking, and finally polishing the painted surface. If loss of gloss occurs during polishing, it can be restored using a high-speed polisher with specialized polishing compound. 2. Precautions: The hardness of the paint after touch-up is lower compared to the original factory paint. High water pressure can damage the car's paint surface, so avoid using high-pressure water to wash the car body.

What is the warning sign for no engine oil in a car?

When a car is low on engine oil, it will display an oil can dripping symbol. The engine oil warning light indicates the oil level and pressure status inside the engine, and is typically red or yellow in color. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.
