The engine number of the Geely Boyue is located under a piece of cloth near the front and rear adjustment lever of the passenger seat. Simply lift the cloth to reveal it. Below is some relevant information about the Geely Boyue: 1. The Boyue's engine is independently developed, featuring turbocharging with direct fuel injection. 2. The transmission is derived from the previously acquired Australian DSI automatic 6AT transmission, which has been tested for smoothness and durability. 3. The overall design of the Geely Boyue combines Chinese cultural elements with international aesthetic trends, offering a sporty and refined exterior and a light luxury and elegant interior. 4. In terms of power, the Geely Boyue provides diversified power options, including the 1.8TD engine, 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or the Australian DSI 6-speed automatic transmission, forming multiple power combinations.

Last time my friend bought a used Boyue, he specifically taught me how to check the engine number. The thing is located on the left side of the engine block, near the metal surface of the firewall. You need to open the hood, squat at the front of the car facing the driver's seat, and look for a flat surface engraved with letters and numbers. I searched for a long time back then and found it covered in dust—had to wipe it clean with a wet wipe to see clearly. Remember to bring a flashlight; it's a bit tucked away and hard to spot. The DMV relies on this for vehicle transfer inspections, so make sure to clean it beforehand if it's dirty. The exact position might vary slightly for different model years, but it's generally in that area. If you can't find it, just ask a 4S店 technician—they deal with this daily and know it well.

I've been driving the Boyue for over three years and have personally traced the engine number during the transfer process. The location is actually not hard to find: First, open the hood, locate the main engine body, and look towards the left side plane in the direction of the steering wheel. There, you'll find the stamped number, similar to an ID card. The first time, you might need to move aside a few cables and pipes with your hand - I recommend wearing gloves. Last time, a fellow car owner said they couldn't find it, but it turned out to be covered by oil leakage - just spray some cleaner and it'll be visible. Nowadays, new vehicle registrations require recording this number, so it's safest to ask the mechanic to show you during maintenance. Avoid scratching the number with hard objects, as it could cause issues during the annual inspection.

Yesterday, I accompanied my buddy to inspect a used Boyue. The engine number is located on the flat surface on the left side of the engine block. You need to lean into the engine bay from the driver's side, and you'll find it on the shiny metal area of the cylinder block. On some older vehicles, the stamped number might be obscured by grime and hard to read. We used carburetor cleaner to spray the area and gently scrubbed with an old toothbrush. Remember to take photos for records in case the number gets eroded and needs comparison. If the number is unclear during vehicle registration at the DMV, it may require re-stamping, which is time-consuming and costly. Avoid spraying high-pressure water directly at that area when washing the car, as protecting the stamped number is crucial.

Can You Drive While the Car Is Warming Up?

You can drive at idle speed while the car is warming up, but you should not accelerate. Below are the functions of car warm-up: Functions of warm-up: It indicates the warm-up status, meaning the engine is preheating. Warm-up is to first run the engine, allowing it to be better lubricated and reach its optimal working condition. How warm-up works: The engine uses the choke to restrict some air from entering the cylinder, increasing the gasoline-air mixture ratio and raising the engine speed to prevent stalling. When the normal operating temperature is reached, the automatic choke returns to its normal state with mechanical movement.

What is the meaning of hybrid vehicles?

Hybrid vehicles refer to the combination of fuel (gasoline, diesel) and electric energy, using an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to drive the car, which belongs to the category of hybrid electric vehicles. The principle of hybrid vehicles: The engine and the generator play complementary roles. If the engine is in good working condition, it operates; if the engine is not in good working condition, the generator starts to assist, aiming to keep the engine in good working condition all the time, thereby achieving low fuel consumption. Advantages of hybrid vehicles: Hybrid vehicles can be refueled at gas stations just like gasoline cars, without changing driving habits. They offer better power performance than pure internal combustion engine cars of the same displacement, reduce mechanical noise inside the car, and use the electric motor for operation at low speeds or idle. Disadvantages of hybrid vehicles: Currently, the technology is not mature, the pricing is relatively high, and they are not fuel-efficient during long periods of high-speed or constant-speed driving.

Can a car run without coolant?

It is not advisable to drive a car without coolant. Prolonged driving without coolant will cause the engine temperature to rise continuously, leading to overheating. In severe cases, it can damage the engine. You should pull over, turn off the engine to lower the temperature, and only resume driving after the engine has cooled down. However, driving time should not be too long, and coolant should be replenished promptly. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, is designed to prevent freezing in cold weather, protecting the radiator and engine cylinder block from cracking due to freezing. Antifreeze is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round.

Can car tires be replaced individually?

Whether car tires can be replaced individually depends on the situation: 1. If it is a new car and has not been driven much, only the problematic tire needs to be replaced, as the wear on tires on the same axle is similar; 2. If the tires have been driven for tens of thousands of kilometers but do not yet need replacement, and only one tire has a problem, replacing just one tire can cause uneven height, leading to bumpiness or steering issues at higher speeds. In this case, it is recommended to replace a pair of tires. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving.

How Many Kilometers Should a Motorcycle's Full Synthetic Oil Be Changed?

Motorcycle's full synthetic oil should be changed every 3,000 kilometers. If you don't frequently rev the engine to high RPMs, it is recommended to change it every 8,000 kilometers. Engine oil, often referred to as the lifeblood of the engine, plays roles in lubrication, cleaning, sealing, buffering, rust prevention, and heat dissipation within the engine. A motorcycle is a two or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine, steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, fast, and widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, as well as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and tourers.

What is Idle Speed?

Idle speed refers to an operating condition of a car where the engine runs in neutral gear. Below are the reasons for its occurrence: Various Valve Leaks: When air, gasoline vapor, or combustion exhaust that should not enter the intake manifold does so, it causes the air-fuel mixture to become too rich or too lean, leading to abnormal engine combustion. If the leak affects only individual cylinders, the engine may experience severe shaking, particularly impacting cold idle conditions. Common causes include: loose intake manifold clamps or cracked rubber hoses; intake manifold gasket leaks; damaged intake manifolds or other components causing holes in the intake manifold; leaking O-ring seals on fuel injectors; disconnected or broken vacuum tube connectors; excessive opening of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve; a constantly open charcoal canister valve; or an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve that does not close properly. Excessive Carbon Buildup in the Throttle Body and Intake Tract: Excessive carbon deposits and dirt in the throttle body and surrounding intake tracts alter the cross-sectional area of the air passage, making it difficult for the control unit to precisely regulate idle air intake. This results in an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture and abnormal combustion. Common causes include: oil or carbon buildup in the throttle body; oil or carbon deposits in the intake tracts around the throttle body; or oil and carbon buildup in the idle speed stepper motor, duty cycle solenoid valve, or rotary solenoid valve. Idle Air Actuator Malfunction: Faulty idle air actuators lead to inaccurate idle air control. Common causes include: damaged or stuck throttle motor; or damaged or stuck idle speed stepper motor, duty cycle solenoid valve, or rotary solenoid valve.
