Solutions for poor air conditioning cooling effect include cleaning dirty air filters and radiator condensers, and adding system refrigerant. The most common causes and solutions are as follows: 1. Low air conditioning airflow: Check if the air filter is dirty, if the blower can operate normally, and if the air conditioning flap motor can switch properly. 2. Lack of refrigerant in the air conditioning system: Inspect the system for leaks. After confirming and repairing, add refrigerant to the standard range. 3. Dirty radiator condenser: Engine cooling system failure, leading to excessively high water temperature, such as a non-working cooling fan, resulting in poor heat dissipation from the radiator and condenser.

I've been driving my Baojun 730 for almost three years now. Last summer, the air conditioning suddenly stopped cooling, leaving me sweating all over. First, I checked the cabin air filter and found it clogged with dust and leaves. I removed and cleaned it myself, which immediately improved the situation. Then, I had a friend help me check the refrigerant pressure, which was indeed low—probably due to a minor leak. After topping up the refrigerant at the repair shop, it was completely back to normal. They also reminded me to clean the condenser fins under the hood to prevent dust buildup from affecting cooling efficiency. If the compressor were faulty, it would usually make unusual noises, but mine was fine. I suggest you first check the filter and refrigerant—these simple DIY fixes can solve 80% of problems. Don’t keep driving on highways without AC or wait until winter. Regular maintenance is crucial. Also, when it's extremely hot, the AC is under more strain, so starting the car five minutes early to ventilate before turning on the AC can make it more comfortable. If none of this works, then visit a professional shop to check the electrical system or compressor—safety first.

Poor air conditioning cooling performance in the Baojun 730 is often caused by clogged filters or insufficient refrigerant. I recommend owners first check the cabin air filter location, clean or replace the filter to ensure adequate airflow. Secondly, use a pressure gauge to measure refrigerant levels - replenish promptly if below standard to avoid compressor overwork. Insufficient fan speed or severe condenser dust accumulation can also lead to poor heat dissipation affecting cooling. Don't neglect routine condenser maintenance - clean surface dust quarterly. Compressor failure may occur in older vehicles but is less common - judge by operational sounds. Electrical aging like blown fuses is another possible cause - troubleshoot with a multimeter. The easiest solution is a comprehensive inspection at a 4S shop where professional equipment can quickly locate leaks. Mandatory AC check before summer - don't substitute open windows for AC as it's both stuffy and unsafe. Long-term neglect may damage more components, ultimately costing more.

Having driven for decades, if the AC isn't cooling well, it's mostly due to a dirty filter or insufficient refrigerant. My Baojun 730 had this issue before. It's simple - go to an auto parts store to buy a new filter and try replacing it, or take it out yourself to blow off the dust. If the refrigerant is low, just add a bit, but don't overfill as it affects efficiency. If the compressor runs normally without strange noises, it's basically fine. Regularly cleaning the condenser prevents poor heat dissipation. As the car ages, there might be minor leaks in the system; timely inspection avoids worsening. Don't let small issues escalate - summer maintenance in advance saves money.

Can Car Vacuum Cleaners Be Left in the Car During Summer?

Car vacuum cleaners can be left in the car during summer. Here are the relevant details: 1. Types: There are generally two types: one that uses batteries, which can be charged at home and used independently of the car, and another that draws power from the cigarette lighter, designed for plug-and-play use with power circuits meeting the cigarette lighter's supply standards. 2. Precautions: Before using a car vacuum cleaner, check if the power fuse can handle the startup and operating current of the vacuum cleaner. When the dust reaches a certain level or after use, clean it by pressing the clip on the dust cover to open and remove the dirt. It's advisable to wear a mask while vacuuming, as using the cleaner can stir up dust, making it easier to inhale. Never place hands or feet under the suction opening to avoid danger. Watch for any blockages in the suction tube, unusual noises, or smoke during use. If any of these occur, stop using the vacuum immediately. Clear any blockages before continuing use; otherwise, the vacuum's motor may burn out.

What is the reason for the Chery engine malfunction light being on but the car running normally?

The engine malfunction light being on may be a warning, indicating that certain system parameters of the car may have exceeded the set range. At this time, the car can continue to drive, and the light is generally yellow. There is also a more serious situation where the light is red, indicating a very severe malfunction. The car may still be able to drive, but for safety reasons, it must be stopped immediately, the engine turned off, and driving prohibited until the fault is checked. There are mainly 7 reasons for the engine malfunction light being on: Sensor malfunction: The sensors mentioned here include water temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will cause the engine malfunction light to come on. Fuel quality issue: If fuel and engine oil are not added according to the manufacturer's requirements, it may cause engine wear, leading to the malfunction light coming on. Poor mixture combustion: Poor mixture combustion can cause engine carbon deposits or knocking. After being detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will come on as a warning. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, fuel line blockage, etc., can all cause poor mixture combustion in the engine. Turbocharging issue: The intake turbocharging pipeline and turbocharger can also cause the engine malfunction light to come on. The most common is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leakage, high oil consumption, power loss, metal noise, and blue or black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Intake issue: If there is a problem with the car's intake, it may cause engine pipeline blockage, and in severe cases, the engine malfunction light will come on. If the air filter is not clean and not regularly cleaned, it can lead to intake problems. Exhaust issue: Exhaust malfunction can also cause the engine malfunction light to come on. Rear oxygen sensor, three-way catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearing failures are all causes of exhaust problems, with the three-way catalytic converter being the most common. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-containing lubricant additives, physical damage to the three-way catalytic converter, or engine fuel supply system failures can easily cause three-way catalytic converter malfunctions. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions, or the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can also cause the engine to not work properly, and the engine malfunction light will come on. If the engine malfunction light is on, you can follow these steps: First, pay attention to whether the engine is running normally, whether there is shaking, smoke, etc. If so, try not to start it again. Especially note that if the light is red, do not start the engine again. If the engine can start, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once, or without pressing the clutch, turn the key halfway to the 'on' position. The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait for 5-10 seconds and observe whether the malfunction light on the dashboard goes off. If the malfunction light does not go off, please go to a service station as soon as possible to find the cause. The service station can read the fault code with a portable diagnostic tool to obtain fault information and perform targeted repairs.

What to Pay Attention to When Picking Up Your Car After Repair

When picking up your car after repair, you need to pay attention not only to the condition of the car when stationary but also to its performance while driving. Stationary inspection: The car should be parked on a flat surface for easy inspection. This inspection mainly ensures that other components were not affected during the repair process, such as inconsistent tire pressure between the left and right tires, issues with springs and shock absorbers, or deformations in the frame or fenders. The inspection includes observing the vehicle's exterior, checking the front of the car, inspecting the driver's cabin, examining the rear of the car, checking the fuel tank, and verifying the installation of the spare tire. Common post-repair issues include uneven tire pressure between the left and right tires, problems with springs and shock absorbers, or deformations in the frame or fenders. The owner should inspect the front of the car, including the driver's cabin, engine hood, left and right fenders, and front bumper, to ensure everything is properly aligned. Driving inspection: During the driving inspection, the engine should reach normal operating temperature, and you should check if all the gauges are functioning correctly. While driving, pay attention to whether the clutch disengages completely, engages smoothly and reliably, and operates without shaking or unusual noises. Initially, maintain a low speed of 2-3 km/h to allow the chassis components to warm up to normal temperature, and listen for any abnormal sounds. Gently press the brake pedal to test if the brakes are responsive and effective, then gradually increase speed. When testing the steering wheel, the steering system should be light and flexible, with no tendency to pull to one side.
