The air intake of the Buick Envision is located behind the grille (inside the engine compartment). It is a device that provides clean combustion air to the car's engine, with an engine intake ground clearance of 80 cm. Air intakes can be categorized by shape and position into leading-edge intakes, funnel-shaped intakes (or scoop intakes), skin intakes, and internal intakes, among others. The Buick Envision measures 4686 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, and 1686 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm. The vehicle is powered by a 2.0T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 9-speed intelligent transmission, and a 1.5T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed intelligent dual-clutch transmission.

As a friend who frequently works on cars, I want to tell you that the air intake of the Buick Envision is usually located above the front bumper at the front of the vehicle, just behind the grille. It is responsible for directing air into the air filter system to ensure smooth engine combustion. The position is designed relatively high, typically about 30-40 cm above the ground, which helps reduce the risk of water intake during wading or rainy days. I've worked on many similar models, and common issues include dust or fallen leaves clogging the air intake, leading to insufficient engine power or increased fuel consumption. Therefore, I recommend that owners check it every quarter, especially before long trips, by using a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the grille. Don’t underestimate this small component—it directly affects driving performance. Neglecting it could lead to costly engine repairs.

We own a Buick Envision, which we've been using for three to four years. The air intake is indeed located in the front fascia, slightly lower and centered, hidden behind the grille. The placement is quite clever, efficiently drawing in air while minimizing debris intake. I remember one weekend road trip when we drove through muddy terrain—the tires flung mud that nearly clogged the intake. After I cleared it out, the engine immediately ran smoother. The design team thoughtfully positioned it higher to improve wading depth, adding a safety bonus. As an average owner, I make sure to check this detail during maintenance—just a quick blast with a blower to remove dust does the trick. It’s an effortless way to protect the car and save money.

Does the Enclave Need an Underbody Guard?

For urban road driving, installation is not necessary as city roads are generally smooth, and installing an engine guard may impair engine cooling. However, if the vehicle frequently travels on rough or mountainous roads, installation is recommended. Functions of an underbody guard: Keeps the engine compartment clean, preventing road water and dust from entering. Protects the engine from being struck by gravel or hard objects kicked up by tires during driving, as such impacts can damage the engine. Materials for engine guards: Steel plate: Durable and inexpensive, but heavy, which can increase fuel consumption and may interfere with engine drop in collisions. Plastic: Lightweight and cheap, but only effective against mud and sand, offering poor protection and short lifespan. Alloy: Lighter than steel and stronger than plastic, but relatively more expensive. Reinforced resin: Lightweight with good toughness, protects against minor impacts and prevents corrosion of the vehicle's underbody metal in humid conditions, avoiding rust and erosion.

What is the general temperature for using car air conditioning in winter?

In winter, the car air conditioning temperature is generally set between 18 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius. Below are detailed introductions to specific components of the car air conditioning system: 1. Air conditioning pressure sensor: Usually installed after the dryer, it is used to detect the hydraulic pressure of liquid refrigerant flowing through the expansion valve. Three wires: detect high pressure and low pressure. In case of refrigerant leakage and compressor oil loss after a car collision, to prevent compressor damage due to lack of oil, once low pressure is detected, the compressor power is quickly cut off. When high pressure is detected, the compressor power needs to be reduced to avoid wasteful energy consumption. 2. Air conditioning temperature sensor: Usually installed inside the temperature sensing package, it is the evaporator temperature sensor. When the temperature drops to a certain level, the compressor needs to be shut down to prevent frosting and eventual ice blockage from further cooling. 3. Air conditioning compressor relay: Usually installed on the compressor, it is used to control the compressor's start, stop, and power switching functions.

What to Do If a Car Is Not Used for a Long Time?

If a car is not used for an extended period, the following steps should be taken in advance: disconnect the power supply and remove the negative terminal; park it in a garage if available, otherwise find a safe, dry, and shaded location and cover it with a car cover; clean out all items inside the car, especially avoiding leaving snacks inside; maintain sufficient tire pressure by inflating the tires properly. When it's time to drive the car again, follow these steps: 1. Check for tire deformation: If the car remains stationary for a long time, the entire weight of the car is borne by the four tire contact points with the ground, which may cause pressure deformation. Replace the tires if any abnormalities are found. 2. Check tire pressure: Normally, tire pressure may decrease slightly, so it's necessary to inflate them appropriately. 3. Warm up the engine sufficiently: After prolonged parking, the engine oil settles at the bottom of the oil pan, leaving the engine components without lubrication. To allow sufficient time for the oil to lubricate all engine parts and reduce wear, the warm-up time should be slightly longer than usual.

Is Visual Carbon Deposit Cleaning Inside the Cylinder Necessary?

Visual carbon deposit cleaning inside the cylinder is necessary. Below is the relevant introduction to visual carbon deposit cleaning inside the cylinder: 1. Cleaning with detergent: Engine detergent is used to remove carbon deposits inside the engine. Generally, for not severe cases, it can achieve good cleaning results. If the carbon deposit is severe, it is recommended that the owner adopts the method of uncovering the cylinder head to clean the valves and cylinder walls. At this time, the operation will be relatively more complicated, so it is suggested that the owner chooses a guaranteed professional 4S store and asks professionals to clean it. 2. Do not use inferior oil: It is necessary to avoid using inferior or fake "three-no" lubricating oil. If inferior oil is used, over time, it will not only fail to achieve the purpose of cleaning the engine carbon deposits but may even damage the engine. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner usually goes to a formal repair shop for maintenance, which is more guaranteed.

What are the reasons for the poor cooling effect of the Honda XRV air conditioner?

Here are the specific reasons for the poor cooling effect of the Honda XRV air conditioner: 1. Insufficient or low refrigerant: It may be caused by a small refrigerant leak. You can observe it from the sight glass on the dryer tank. When the air conditioner is running normally, if there are continuous bubbles in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant. If obvious bubble flipping occurs, it means the refrigerant is severely insufficient. In this case, simply adding refrigerant can solve the problem. 2. Loose drive belt of the car air conditioner compressor: If the drive belt is loose, the compressor will slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency and a decrease in compressor speed. This results in reduced delivery of compressed refrigerant, causing the car air conditioner to not cool. If the compressor drive belt is too loose, it should be tightened. If it cannot be turned by hand, it indicates the belt is too tight and should be loosened slightly. If tightening is ineffective or the belt shows cracks, aging, or other damage, a new drive belt should be replaced.
