I've replaced quite a few car parts, and the cabin air filter for the Dongfeng Fengxing X3 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side—pretty easy to find. Open the glove box, and you'll see clips or screws at the bottom; remove them, and the entire glove compartment can be gently taken off. Be careful not to pull too hard to avoid damaging the plastic parts. After removing the glove box, you'll directly see a small square cover. Unscrew it, and you can pull out the old filter. When inserting the new filter, remember to align the arrow facing upward or in the direction of airflow for optimal filtration efficiency. If you don't replace the filter in time, the air inside the car can develop mold or odors, affecting health. I recommend checking it every six months or 10,000 kilometers. In areas with heavy dust, replace it more frequently. Doing it yourself can save a lot on repair costs and reduce trips to the shop.

Last time I replaced the air conditioning filter myself, and the design of the JAC Refine X3 was quite good—it's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glove box door, find the small buttons or clips on both inner sides, press them down, and you can pull out the entire glove box. Be gentle to avoid it getting stuck. The black box revealed behind is the filter compartment—open the cover, pull out the old filter, and replace it with a new one. After installation, reset the glove box and pat it firmly to secure it in place. This job is simple and takes about ten minutes, saving you a hundred bucks in labor costs. A dirty filter can restrict airflow, so it's best to check it every season. With fresh air in the car, your driving mood improves, especially on long trips, helping to avoid fatigue. Learning more DIY skills means no wasted money on car maintenance.

What are the safety precautions for driving in heavy rain?

Here is the relevant introduction to precautions for driving in heavy rain: 1. Maintain a safe distance and avoid overtaking in rainy conditions: Driving in the rain should prioritize stability. Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, avoid excessive speed, and always pay attention to the speed and direction of the preceding vehicle to prevent rear-end collisions. Due to reduced visibility during rain, avoid accelerating to overtake, as it may lead to accidents like rollovers, by which time it would be too late. 2. Prioritize driving safety and prevent skidding: In heavy rain, the road surface becomes slippery, reducing the friction coefficient between truck tires and the road, leading to longer braking distances and an increased risk of skidding. If the vehicle starts to skid, avoid slamming the brakes or making sharp turns to prevent side slipping. Truck drivers should maintain straight and low-speed driving in rainy conditions, and when encountering turns, apply the brakes gently to prevent wheel lock-up and vehicle skidding.

How many minutes does a new car need to warm up when starting?

Thirty seconds to one minute. The correct method for warming up the car is: After starting the engine, wait for 30 seconds to one minute before driving, but avoid driving at high RPMs at this time. Maintain a low speed with the engine RPM not exceeding 3000, ideally around 2000 RPM. Otherwise, the severe wear and tear on the engine and transmission may be irreversible. Once the engine temperature rises to the normal operating range (which typically takes about 3 to 5 minutes), you can resume normal driving. The main reasons for warming up the car are: After the car has been parked for an extended period, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. Therefore, when starting, the upper part of the engine is in a state without oil and lacks lubrication. It takes about 30 seconds after starting for the oil pump to circulate the oil to the parts of the engine that need lubrication the most, such as the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft.

Will replacing the tie rod end affect the car?

Replacing the tie rod end will not affect the car. The function of the tie rod end: The tie rod end is a rod with a ball joint housing. The ball joint of the steering spindle is placed inside the ball joint housing, and the ball joint is hinged with the edge of the shaft hole of the ball joint housing through the ball joint seat at its front end. The needle roller between the ball joint seat and the steering spindle is embedded in the groove of the inner hole surface of the ball joint seat, which can reduce the wear of the ball joint and improve the tensile resistance of the spindle. Symptoms of a damaged tie rod end: Rattling noise on bumpy roads; unstable car, swaying left and right; brake deviation; steering failure; excessive play in the ball joint, which can easily break under impact load; loose tie rod end can cause steering deviation, tire wear, steering wheel vibration, and in severe cases, the ball joint may fall off, leading to sudden wheel detachment.

What is the new car inspection called?

New car inspection is called PDI. The full name of "PDI" is "Pre-Delivery-Inspection". Generally, 4S stores will conduct a free PDI inspection before vehicle delivery to ensure the complete safety and performance of the new car for customers. PDI inspection items: Roughly include the exterior of the vehicle: appearance, paint surface, tire pressure (including the spare tire), door opening and closing, and even child locks, etc.; inside the engine compartment: battery status, fluid levels, etc. Steps of PDI inspection: First, the technician in the store will take a PDI work order, which contains more than 70 inspection items in total. The PDI standards of different brands may vary slightly, but at least the process on the inspection list should be completed. You can refuse to sign if the inspection is not done. Special attention: once you sign, it means you agree with the condition of the vehicle at the time of sale.

Is It Normal for a BMW Fan to Keep Running at Low Speed?

Engine fans continuously operating at low speed is due to the engine temperature, meaning the coolant temperature does not reach the level required for high-speed operation. This is influenced by the current external environment, particularly the weather. It's normal for the fan not to run at high speed now, but it might do so during extremely hot summer days. Methods to Address Overheating Engine Coolant: 1. Overheating Due to Insufficient Coolant: In this case, you need to add water. However, to prevent engine damage, do not add water immediately. Typically, you should first open the car's hood, then the engine cover to allow ventilation and heat dissipation. Only add water after the coolant temperature has decreased. 2. Overheating Caused by Water Pump Failure: Possible causes include seized bearings or damaged impeller blades. Seized bearings are less likely, but if the impeller is damaged, it should be replaced.
