Methods to handle a car's air conditioning refrigerant leak that cannot be detected: 1. If you can smell the refrigerant in the cabin, it means the condenser in the evaporator is leaking; 2. Check the condenser near the radiator and the air conditioning compressor; 3. Add fluorescent dye along with the refrigerant, and after using the air conditioning, inspect the system with a dedicated UV light—any leakage points will glow. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in a vehicle, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

How Wide is 30 Centimeters?

30 centimeters in the rearview mirror is roughly the width of two fingers. Specific details are as follows: 1. Wiper protrusion: When viewed from the driver's seat, the wiper protrusion aligning with the right-side line indicates a distance of approximately 30 centimeters. 2. One-third of the front of the car: When one-third of the front (right side) aligns with the right-side line, the distance is exactly 30 centimeters. It might be challenging to locate this one-third point consistently. During practice, consider marking this spot on the car and remove the mark once accustomed. 3. Right front door handle: Observe the right front door handle in the right rearview mirror. If the handle is tangent to the right-side line, the distance is correct. If too far, slight adjustments are needed. If too close, there's a risk of crossing the line.

How to Check Fuel Tank Capacity?

You can check it through the car's manual. Here is some information about the car fuel tank: 1. Fuel tank capacity unit: The international standard uses L (liter) as the unit for calculating car fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have corresponding standards for car fuel tank capacity. In China, the car fuel tank capacity is regulated to be 95% of the rated value, but the actual capacity is generally larger than the nominal capacity depending on the actual situation, so there is no need to worry that the car fuel tank is smaller than the actual capacity. 2. Fuel tank capacity: Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a fuel tank capacity of about 55-75 liters.

Where is the car engine coolant located?

Coolant is located in a small pink liquid-filled reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment. Functions of the cooling system: To provide moderate cooling to the operating engine, allowing it to work within the most suitable temperature range. Engine cooling must be properly balanced. Insufficient cooling will reduce engine power, cause oil to degrade due to heat, and decrease the mechanical strength of components due to high temperatures. Excessive cooling leads to excessive heat loss, reducing engine performance and fuel efficiency, increasing oil viscosity, and intensifying friction and wear between moving parts. Precautions when using coolant: Prevent coolant leakage, as leakage not only results in coolant loss but severe leakage can dilute engine oil, causing lubrication system failures; avoid contact with skin; use coolant year-round consistently, paying attention to the continuity of coolant usage.

How long is the warranty period for automotive ABS sensors?

Automotive ABS sensors have the same warranty period as the vehicle's specific warranty duration. Below is relevant information: 1. Principle: Most ABS systems use inductive sensors to monitor vehicle speed. The ABS sensor interacts with a toothed ring that rotates synchronously with the wheel, outputting a set of quasi-sinusoidal alternating current signals whose frequency and amplitude are related to wheel speed. This output signal is transmitted to the ABS electronic control unit (ECU) to achieve real-time monitoring of wheel speed. 2. Linear sensor: The linear wheel speed sensor mainly consists of a permanent magnet, pole shaft, induction coil, and toothed ring. When the toothed ring rotates, the tooth tips and gaps alternately face the pole shaft.
