The solutions for a leaking transmission are: 1. Wipe off the oil traces with a cloth or tissue, and inspect the leaking part; 2. Tighten the nuts at the connection points; 3. Replace the gasket and replenish the transmission oil; 4. Weld and repair the worn parts or replace the components. The causes of transmission oil leakage are: 1. Aging or deformation of the oil seal, spring detachment, or incorrect installation direction of the oil seal; 2. Pipeline damage; 3. Loose screws on the transmission cover; 4. Damage to the mating surface of the transmission housing; 5. Excessive clearance at the shaft ends; 6. Wear of the oil seal or flange, or an excessive amount of gear oil exceeding the specified standard; 7. Improper use of lubricating oil.

What is the pink liquid leaking under the car?

The pink liquid leaking under the car is antifreeze. To maintain low temperatures in winter and allow the car to continue operating in cold conditions, antifreeze agents are added to the engine coolant to lower the freezing point, preventing the cooling system from freezing in low temperatures. Antifreeze contains non-toxic, water-soluble dyes, which differentiate it from ordinary cooling water. This not only makes it easier to detect leaks in the car's engine cooling system but also helps monitor changes in the antifreeze's pH level. Additionally, it serves as an indicator for acidity changes, acting as a guide for users when adding or replacing the fluid. Reasons for antifreeze leakage: 1. Sealing issues in the cooling system—poor sealing at the connection points between the antifreeze reservoir and the radiator can lead to leaks. 2. Pipe problems—aging or cracked pipes may cause antifreeze to leak. 3. Radiator issues—rust in the radiator can result in antifreeze leakage. Leaks typically occur around the radiator, so check for fluid around the radiator's exterior and pipe connections. If a significant amount of antifreeze leaks, the engine temperature may rise, triggering a coolant temperature warning on the dashboard. In such cases, prompt inspection and repair are necessary to prevent damage.

Can the name on a new car invoice be changed?

It is possible to change the name on a new car invoice after it has been issued, but this requires negotiation with the 4S dealership where the car was purchased. The process of altering the invoice is relatively cumbersome. If the vehicle is under a loan, changing the name can be particularly difficult, as the lending institution will need to re-evaluate whether the new loan subject meets the loan conditions. The process for a 4S dealership to reissue an invoice involves several steps: Once an invoice is issued, it indicates that the purchase tax has already been paid. Therefore, an application for a tax refund must be submitted to the local tax authority. This process first requires the 4S dealership to issue a vehicle return certificate and submit proof of tax payment. Next, the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Refund Application Form" must be completed and submitted to the tax bureau, which will process the application within 20 working days. The tax bureau will review all submitted documents and, upon approval, refund the vehicle purchase tax. Finally, the purchase tax process must be completed again, and a new purchase tax invoice must be issued.

Can I Claim Insurance for a Missing Catalytic Converter?

The loss of a catalytic converter is generally not covered by insurance companies, as their claims process requires submitting photos of the accident scene and the damaged parts as evidence, which cannot be provided in cases of loss. It is recommended to report the incident to the police promptly. After the police have filed a case, have the catalytic converter reinstalled at a 4S shop. Otherwise, the vehicle's engine malfunction indicator light will remain constantly lit and cannot be turned off. Moreover, without a catalytic converter, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. The absence of a catalytic converter affects the vehicle in the following ways: increased exhaust pollution, as harmful gases cannot undergo catalytic reduction; the engine malfunction light will illuminate when the engine's electronic control unit (ECU) cannot detect or detects abnormal signals from the oxygen sensor; increased fuel consumption and reduced power, as the oxygen sensor's signals are disrupted, preventing the engine from accurately controlling fuel injection, leading to higher fuel consumption and decreased power; and carbon buildup, as the air-fuel ratio in the cylinders becomes severely imbalanced, causing incomplete combustion and resulting in significant carbon deposits accumulating in the cylinders, thereby increasing the engine's susceptibility to 'chronic' issues.

What is the legal modification plan for the Beijing BJ40L?

Legal modification plan for the Beijing BJ40L: Replace the front and rear bumpers with MR Expedition manganese steel bumpers, install a winch, remove the wheel arches and replace them with Laura wheel arches, and add spotlights on the MR four-door version roll cage roof rack or install an A-pillar spotlight bracket on the two-door version roll cage roof rack. Currently, modifications require cooperation with a qualified manufacturer or modification workshop. The manufacturer must then register the modified vehicle with the public security bureau before it can be licensed. Many modified vehicles are not allowed on the road mainly because they have been modified privately, affecting the vehicle's structure and other aspects. Generally, very few modified vehicles are permitted on the road, so modifications must strictly follow the legal modification plan for the Beijing BJ40L. The Beijing BJ40 has four versions: S, P, C, and SE. The S series includes the BJ40 Rainforest Expedition Edition and the BJ40 Ring of Champions Edition; the P series is the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition; the C series is the BJ40 City Hunter Edition; and the SE series is the BJ40 Tribute 2020 Edition, which is a two-door short-wheelbase version.

How Long Will the Engine Stay On Without the Key in the Car?

If the car key is taken out of the car, the engine will not shut off automatically. The car will only display a warning indicating that the key is not detected. For vehicles with push-button start, the key only transmits a signal to the ECU during the starting process. Once the engine is running, the fuel pump supplies fuel, and the engine will continue to operate as long as it is not manually turned off. However, leaving the engine running for an extended period, such as an entire day, can cause significant harm to the vehicle. The main risks include the following two scenarios: First, the engine remains in a low-speed operating condition, which makes the pistons and valves more prone to carbon buildup. This can lead to unstable idling and other adverse effects on engine performance, and may even shorten the engine's lifespan. Second, most vehicles are equipped with a three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust system, which is the most important external purification device for vehicle emissions. It converts harmful gases like CO from exhaust emissions into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Prolonged idling with the air conditioning on makes it difficult for the catalytic converter to reach its optimal operating temperature, reducing its ability to process exhaust gases and negatively impacting its longevity.
