If the engine oil level exceeds the dipstick mark, it should be drained to the normal level. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce wear between the piston and cylinder, and between the crankshaft and bearings, providing lubrication; 2. To assist in cooling the internal parts of the engine; 3. To clean carbon deposits, sludge, and metal particles from engine components; 4. To reduce gas leakage and prevent the entry of external contaminants; 5. To cushion the load on pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings; 6. To reduce friction, save energy consumption, and minimize wear. Types of engine oil include: 1. Conventional mineral oil; 2. Semi-synthetic oil; 3. Fully synthetic oil.

What Causes a Single-Cylinder Diesel Engine to Emit Black Smoke Under Load?

The reasons why a single-cylinder diesel engine emits black smoke under load may include the following: 1. Clogged air filter: Check if there is a large amount of dust scattered in the air filter and inspect whether there is a significant accumulation of dust inside the air filter housing. If there is excessive dust, the air filter should be cleaned or replaced. 2. High intake resistance in the intake pipe, leaks in the intake pipe, or blockage due to deformation from compression. 3. Turbocharger malfunction, insufficient speed, leading to black smoke emission: Since most construction machinery currently uses turbocharged engines, when the turbocharger fails, the symptoms and causes are similar to those of an intake system blockage.

Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid in the Lamando?

The windshield washer fluid for the Lamando is added into the small blue-capped tank located on the left side of the engine compartment. The tank with the windshield spray symbol on its cap is the windshield washer fluid container. Open it and pour in the antifreeze washer fluid, but do not fill it too full—just enough to slightly see the water surface at the deepest point. Automotive windshield washer fluid is made from deionized water mixed with various environmentally friendly additives, providing functions such as cleaning, water repellency, antifreeze, anti-static, and corrosion prevention. The Lamando is a compact sedan with dimensions of 4599mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2656mm. In terms of powertrain, the Lamando offers two options: a 1.4TSI engine paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission, and a 1.8TSI engine matched with a 6-speed DSG transmission.

What is the reason for the dual-clutch transmission not moving when in D gear without stepping on the accelerator?

It may be due to the engine's throttle opening being too small or insufficient fuel injection from the injectors. It is recommended to send it to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Actuator signal: It might be related to the signal issues of the transmission's control system and actuators, where the shift valve is not sensitive enough, leading to incomplete shifting and failure to open the oil passage. 2. D gear: Also known as the drive gear. When the gear shift lever is placed in this position, the hydraulic control system automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on the throttle opening signal and vehicle speed signal. The planetary gear system obtains the corresponding transmission ratio under the control of the actuators, and automatically shifts up or down within the forward gears as driving conditions change, achieving the automatic transmission function.

Should You Turn on AC When Using Car Heater in Winter?

In winter, you should not turn on the AC when using the car heater because the AC switch is the cooling switch for the car's air conditioning system. When the AC switch is turned on, the car's air conditioning compressor starts working. Although the cooling effect of the compressor is not obvious in low temperatures, it can still cause damage to the compressor. The AC button stands for Airconditioning. Pressing this button in summer activates the compressor of the air conditioner, starting the cooling process, which makes the air inside the car cooler. However, in winter, there is no need to press the AC button because the air conditioning system does not require the compressor. Instead, it simply transfers the heat from the engine into the car to raise the interior temperature. How to use the car air conditioner in winter: Start the engine to warm it up, wait until the engine coolant temperature reaches above 40 degrees Celsius, then turn on the heater, switch to external air circulation to expel the cold air from the car, and finally switch to internal air circulation. How the car air conditioner heating works: When the engine coolant becomes sufficiently hot, the refrigerant gas enters the condenser, where its pressure and temperature decrease, causing the refrigerant gas to condense into a liquid and release heat.

How to turn on the headlights?

The turn signal knob on the left side of the steering wheel, pull the handle vertically upward once to turn on the low beam headlights. The classification of headlights includes the following 3 points: 1. Semi-sealed headlights: The diffuser lens and reflector of semi-sealed headlights are glued together and cannot be disassembled. The bulb can be installed from the rear of the reflector. The advantage of semi-sealed headlights is that only the bulb needs to be replaced when the filament burns out, and the disadvantage is poor sealing; 2. Sealed headlights: They are further divided into standard sealed headlights and halogen tungsten sealed headlights. The optical system of standard sealed headlights welds the reflector and diffuser lens into a single unit to form the bulb shell, and the filament is welded to the base of the reflector; 3. Projector headlights: Mainly composed of the bulb, reflector, shade, and convex diffuser lens. They use a thick convex diffuser lens without patterns, and the reflector is elliptical, so its outer diameter is very small.

How to control the speed of an automatic transmission car to be slow without stopping?

Control automatic transmission car in low-speed driving trick is to control the brake pedal. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Brake pedal: The brake pedal is equivalent to the clutch pedal in a manual transmission, while the clutch is controlled by the computer without human intervention. 2. Transmission device: The automatic transmission is a transmission device that can automatically shift according to the vehicle speed and engine speed, compared to the manual transmission. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions for cars, namely hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch automatic transmission.
