The air conditioning system has three basic sensors. The air conditioning temperature sensor on the Kia KX5 is located in the following positions: 1. External pipe temperature sensor: Located at the high-pressure steam end of the external unit's condenser (between the compressor and the condenser), it serves as the temperature control probe. 2. Room temperature sensor: Located at the upper right of the internal unit's evaporator, adjacent to the computer board, it functions as the cold air discharge probe during heating mode and is mounted on the indoor unit's evaporator (remove the internal unit's panel and filter to see a small black head attached to the evaporator). 3. External ambient temperature sensor: Located on the outer side of the external unit's condenser, it serves as the automatic defrosting probe during heating mode.

Is the Tharu equipped with a dry dual-clutch or wet dual-clutch transmission?

The Tharu's transmission type depends on its engine configuration. Models with the 1.4T engine use a dry dual-clutch transmission, while those with the 2.0T engine employ a wet dual-clutch transmission. Both dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions operate on similar principles, with two clutches working alternately. The Tharu is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, built on the MQB platform. Its dimensions are 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.

What is a car radiator?

Car radiator, also known as a heat exchanger or overflow tank, is a crucial component of water-cooled engines. It serves as the heat exchanger for water-cooled engines, maintaining the engine's normal operating temperature through air convection cooling. The radiator is an integral part of the automobile engine and the main component of the car's cooling system, functioning to dissipate heat and maintain engine temperature. Working principle of car radiator: The coolant circulates through the engine's water passages, absorbs heat from the cylinder block, and then dissipates it through large-area cooling fins to maintain the engine's proper operating temperature. A car radiator consists of radiator core, water pipes, cooling fins, upper tank and lower tank.

Do you need to press AC for car air conditioning to cool?

To cool the car air conditioning, you need to press the AC button, which is the button to start the air conditioning compressor. After pressing this button, the air conditioning compressor will start working, cooling the stuffy summer air and blowing cool air into the car. The car air conditioning cooling system consists of a compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, and blower, among others. Car air conditioning is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car cabin to a suitable state, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, creating good working conditions for the driver, and playing an important role in ensuring safe driving.

How to Identify a Burned-out Compressor?

Methods to identify a burned-out compressor: 1. Use a multimeter to measure resistance. Generally, the sum of the resistance between SC and RC should equal the resistance between RS, with minor deviations allowed. However, if a significant difference is detected, the compressor is burned out. 2. If power is supplied but the compressor does not start, and replacing the starting capacitor still does not resolve the issue, the compressor is burned out. Problems with the compressor can also arise from incorrect wiring at the compressor terminals, refrigerant leaks in the system, damaged capacitors, capacitors that do not match the compressor specifications, improper power line wiring, copper plating or rust on the compressor, or abnormal wear of the compressor.

What are the differences between domestically produced cars and imported cars?

The differences between domestically produced cars and imported cars: 1. Different manufacturers: Domestically produced cars are independently researched, designed, and manufactured by the home country; imported cars are entirely developed and built abroad. 2. Different materials: Domestically produced cars mainly use materials produced in the home country; imported cars use materials produced abroad. Domestically produced cars refer to vehicles designed, developed, and manufactured by Chinese people, with independent intellectual property rights, belonging to autonomous brands. Imported cars can be categorized into "American-spec cars," "Middle East-spec cars," "Canadian-spec cars," "European-spec cars," etc., based on their import origins, distinguishing them from "Chinese-spec cars" sold through authorized channels.
