Here are the solutions for when the vehicle's braking system shows abnormalities: 1. Solution: If the braking system shows abnormalities, it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. The condition of the vehicle's braking system determines the safety of passengers inside the car. Only when it is in a healthy state can it successfully slow down or even stop the vehicle according to the driver's intentions. 2. Symptoms of braking system abnormalities: There are many manifestations of braking system failures. Specifically, when stepping on the brake, the brake pedal does not rise. The cause of this situation is the lack of brake fluid in the car. It is necessary to check whether the brake wheel cylinders, pipelines, and joints are leaking oil, or to inspect whether the master cylinder and wheel cylinder components are damaged. Sometimes, when the brake pedal is pressed all the way down, the braking effect is poor. This is because there is air mixed in the braking system. Continuously pressing the brake pedal may cause the pedal to return and rise, and if the braking effect improves slightly, the fault may be due to excessive clearance between the friction pads and the brake drum. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

Is the Sehol Engine Made by Volkswagen?

The engine used in Sehol vehicles is a domestically produced engine manufactured by the Jianghuai Group. Sehol is a new brand established through a collaboration between Jianghuai Automobile and Volkswagen. Therefore, its engine is not from Volkswagen. The engine model used in Sehol is the HFC4GC1.6E, with a maximum horsepower of 184 HP, a maximum power output of 135 KW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 300 N.m. For daily maintenance of the Sehol engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB_CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard being no lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and ensure the oil level is appropriate. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may rupture or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What Does It Mean When a Car Indicates an Engine Fault?

When a car indicates an engine fault, it means there is a problem with the engine. The engine's function is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the pistons. Possible causes of engine faults include: Poor-quality gasoline, leading to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Carbon deposits on the piston top, causing poor atomization and incomplete combustion. Excessive mileage, weakening the performance of the spark plugs. Advanced vehicle age, with mechanical wear leading to poor engine operation and inefficient combustion or ignition. Malfunctions in certain sensors or the engine control unit (ECU). If the fault light is on but the engine runs smoothly or with only slight vibration, the owner can continue using the vehicle normally. However, it is advisable to visit a repair shop at the earliest convenience to use a diagnostic scanner to read the fault codes and perform repairs based on the code definitions. Engine maintenance methods: Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter; use lubricants of appropriate quality grades; periodically clean the radiator; regularly replace the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter; maintain good crankcase ventilation with periodic cleaning; and clean the fuel system regularly.
