Where is the air filter element of the Baojun 560 located?
1 Answers
The air filter element of the SAIC-GM-Wuling Baojun 560 is located in the air filter housing beside the battery in the engine compartment. According to the maintenance manual, the air filter element should generally be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or every other maintenance interval. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter element every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the formation of throttle sludge. Function of the air filter element: It filters particulate impurities from the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinders and preventing airborne dust from being sucked into the engine, which can accelerate wear on the piston assembly and cylinders. Air filter element: It is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air filter. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms as an air filtration device. During operation, the engine draws in a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, airborne dust particles can enter the cylinders, accelerating wear on the piston assembly and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, especially in dry and sandy working environments. The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Dirty air filter: Using an excessively dirty air filter while driving can restrict airflow into the engine, leading to incomplete fuel combustion, unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air filter clean. The automobile air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several components that clean the air. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities from the air before it enters the cylinders, thereby reducing premature wear on the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Thus, before air enters the cylinders, it must pass through the fine filtration of the air filter. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air filter, if the dust accumulation is minimal and the blockage is light, it can be cleaned using high-pressure air blown from the inside out and reused. Excessively dirty air filters should be replaced promptly.
