GAC Trumpchi engines are independently developed by GAC Group and produced at the group's factory in Panyu. The engine model for GAC Trumpchi is 4B20J1, with a maximum power of 185 kW, maximum torque of 300 Nm, maximum horsepower of 252 Ps, maximum power speed of 5250 rpm, and maximum torque speed range of 1750-4000 rpm. For daily maintenance of GAC Trumpchi engines, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of 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 not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; 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, mixing 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; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

As an automotive enthusiast, I've been quite interested in the domestic brand GAC Trumpchi. Their engines are primarily manufactured domestically in China, specifically at GAC Motor's engine plant in Panyu District, Guangzhou. GAC Group has a major production base in Guangzhou with quite advanced production lines, incorporating technologies learned from joint venture partners like GAC Toyota, ensuring engine reliability and efficiency. Localized production reduces costs, ensures more timely parts supply, and makes maintenance more convenient. Anyone who has driven a Trumpchi knows their engines have good noise control and smooth acceleration, reflecting the progress of domestic vehicles. GAC continues to improve manufacturing processes, so there's no need to worry too much about production origin when buying new cars - overall, they're quite reliable.

What to Pay Attention to When Buying an Imported Car?

Here are the key points to consider when purchasing an imported car: 1. Pay attention to the vehicle's origin. Currently, many cars enter the Chinese market through various channels, but some may not be suitable for local conditions. For example, some U.S.-spec vehicles may differ in fuel requirements and usage patterns compared to Chinese standards. Additionally, there are many customs-confiscated cars in the market. Although these vehicles may have completed import procedures, their origins are often unreliable, and their performance and quality cannot be guaranteed. They may also not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. 2. After-sales service. For vehicles imported through unofficial channels, it is often difficult to find Chinese-language repair manuals, and repair shops may lack relevant training. This makes it hard to ensure proper maintenance services or access to genuine OEM parts. Some imported car brands have low market presence in China, so manufacturers may not have established a comprehensive after-sales service system. Therefore, before purchasing an imported car, it is essential to verify whether the model's after-sales service can be guaranteed. 3. Check the car's age and condition. According to regulations, an imported car that has been parked for 2 years is considered equivalent to 1 year of use, and should be depreciated accordingly when sold—it cannot be sold as a brand-new car. When selecting a car, it is advisable to bring along a professional technician or an experienced person to thoroughly inspect the vehicle. Check for any dents, scratches, or damage on the exterior, ensure all accessories and tools are included, and verify that all components are properly sealed without leaks (oil, gas, water, or electrical issues).

How to Clean Cement Residue from a Car?

Cleaning cement residue from a car can be done using the following methods: 1. If the residue has been there for less than 12 hours, first wet and soak it with water, then use car wash soap and a towel to gently wash it off; 2. If it has been more than 12 hours, the cement will have hardened. You can purchase acidic solution from a pharmacy, dip a brush in it, and apply it to the cement. The acid will dissolve the cement, which can then be rinsed off with water; 3. Pour gasoline over the residue, wait for it to soften, and then manually remove the cement. This method is suitable for large areas; 4. Use a hair dryer to heat the affected area, and the cement will usually fall off on its own; 5. Spray white vinegar onto the cement using a spray bottle, wait for 3 to 5 minutes, and then scrape it off with a hard card. Afterward, clean the area with car wash soap where the vinegar was applied.

Do I need proof for the free maintenance provided by the 4S store?

Proof is required for the free maintenance provided by the 4S store. Any promises or gifts offered by the 4S store during the car purchase should be clearly stated in the purchase contract, especially the maintenance services provided by the 4S store. This helps avoid any issues during maintenance and ensures the normal progress of the service. The basic maintenance provided by the 4S store is relatively limited, mainly including oil and oil filter replacement. Additionally, they will inspect and diagnose the vehicle's condition and usage, such as checking the engine's working status and whether the coolant level is normal. The main maintenance items for a car include oil changes, oil filter replacement, transmission fluid replacement, spark plug replacement, air filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, etc. However, not all these items need to be replaced every time, as it depends on their service life. Besides these, maintenance also involves inspections and servicing of dozens of components, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, tires, etc.

What Causes Truck Wheel Hubs to Overheat?

Wheel hub overheating may be caused by excessively tight bearings, abnormal wear, or brake drum overheating. Below are the details regarding wheel hub overheating: 1. Wheel Hub Overheating: Wheel hub overheating could be due to excessively tight bearings or abnormal wear. The wheel hub (axle head) typically overheats because the bearings are either assembled too tightly or lack proper lubrication. Excessive temperature can cause the lubricating grease inside to melt and leak out, affecting braking performance. In severe cases, it may even burn out the bearings. 2. Brake Drum Overheating: Another possible cause of wheel hub overheating is brake drum overheating, which may lead to brake drag or drum scraping. The brake drum is the part measured by the thermometer. It heats up with every brake application and is the area with the highest heat generation in the entire front wheel. The temperature of the brake drum is influenced by factors such as ambient temperature, driving speed, frequency of braking, vehicle weight, and road conditions.
