The engine number of Santana 3000 is located on the front side of the engine (near the front surface). There is a small engine cover; after loosening it and looking downward, you can see the engine number. It usually consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and English letters. In addition to the method mentioned above, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license has the engine number printed on it, usually located on the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will state the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. However, the engine number refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique engine number, and the numbers are different for each engine.

Is It Illegal to Change the Bumper Style?

If the modification of the bumper is not approved by the traffic management department in advance, it is illegal, and the vehicle cannot be driven on the road or pass the annual inspection normally. According to the relevant provisions of the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, and structure of a licensed motor vehicle, as well as the replacement of the frame, body, or engine, must be applied for change registration with the vehicle management office. Actions such as installing a spoiler, adding a full body kit, or modifying the exhaust pipe are, in principle, not allowed. Below is more information about car bumpers: 1. Function: The front and rear ends of a car are equipped with bumpers, which not only have a decorative function but are also important safety devices that absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the car body and the safety of passengers. 2. Structural composition: The outer panel and buffer material are made of plastic, and the crossbeam is pressed into a U-shaped channel from cold-rolled sheet metal about 1.5 mm thick. The outer panel and buffer material are attached to the crossbeam, which is connected to the longitudinal beams of the car frame with screws and can be disassembled at any time. 3. Non-compliant products: According to tests by authoritative quality inspection departments, the consequences of damages caused by products that do not meet the industry standard for "Automobile Protective Bumpers" shall be legally borne by the production enterprises and sellers.

What is an Automotive Brake?

An automotive brake refers to the component that generates a force (braking force) to resist the movement or tendency of movement of a vehicle, including the retarder in the auxiliary braking system. It is the braking device of a car, and almost all brakes used in automobiles are friction-based, which can be divided into two main types: drum brakes and disc brakes. Principle of Drum Brakes: Inside the brake drum, hydraulic pressure acts on the pistons of the brake wheel cylinder, which push the curved brake shoes outward. Alternatively, the friction material riveted to the brake shoes presses against the inner surface of the brake drum, slowing down the rotation of the brake drum and the axle to achieve braking. Working Principle of Disc Brakes: Hydraulic oil is used to push the brake pads against the brake disc through the cylinder, generating friction to achieve braking. Disc brakes installed on high-speed shafts come in two specifications for braking torque: 10,000 N·m and 12,500 N·m. The diameter of the brake disc is uniformly 800 mm. Each set of brakes has four cylinders controlled by a single hydraulic system. Its features include high braking torque, excellent heat dissipation, adjustable oil pressure, and the ability to achieve stepless changes in braking torque during operation. The retarder is used as an auxiliary device to the braking system. For vehicles frequently driven in mountainous or hilly areas, it helps to continuously reduce or maintain a stable speed during long descents, thereby reducing or relieving the load on the service brake. The differences between drum brakes and disc brakes lie in braking force, heat dissipation performance, drainage capability, and structural design. Braking refers to the act of stopping a moving vehicle, and the brake is the component in the braking system that generates resistance to the vehicle's movement. Currently, friction brakes are universally used in automobiles, which generate braking torque through friction between stationary and rotating components. These are further divided into disc brakes and drum brakes. Specific differences are as follows: Difference in Braking Force: In terms of braking force, drum brakes far exceed disc brakes. This is not because drum brake technology is more advanced but due to its inherent structural characteristics. In a drum brake system, there is a drum-shaped metal object, which is the core component of drum brakes, hence the name. Difference in Heat Dissipation Performance: Drum brakes operate in an enclosed space, leading to poor heat dissipation. During braking, a significant amount of heat accumulates, causing complex deformations in the brake shoes and drum under high temperatures. This can lead to brake fade and vibration, reducing braking efficiency. Difference in Drainage Capability: Drainage is another advantage of disc brakes over drum brakes. When water enters the braking system, its impact on braking performance is evident. If the water cannot be drained promptly, braking performance will significantly decline. Structurally, the enclosed design of drum brakes is clearly less conducive to drainage compared to disc brakes. Difference in Structure: Disc brakes have a compact and simple structure, while drum brakes are relatively more complex. However, drum brakes can achieve the same braking force with a much smaller diameter than disc brakes. Difference in Heat Dissipation Effect: Disc brakes have exposed brake shoes, resulting in better heat dissipation and more stable braking performance. In contrast, drum brakes have brake linings inside the drum, making heat dissipation difficult. Prolonged braking can cause the braking force to diminish as heat increases.

How Much Fuel Consumption Increases Per 100 Kilometers When Using Air Conditioning?

Using air conditioning increases fuel consumption by approximately 20% per 100 kilometers. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Enhance vehicle maintenance: Vehicle adjustments and maintenance affect engine performance and driving resistance. Owners should regularly perform routine maintenance at auto repair shops, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting brake pad and drum clearance, lubricating chassis points, and timely replacing engine oil and inspecting filters. Avoid sudden braking and acceleration: Smooth and steady driving is the most fuel-efficient. During acceleration, avoid slamming the accelerator. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a constant speed once reaching the desired velocity.

What are the precautions for vehicle acceptance?

Precautions for vehicle acceptance are as follows: Check the tires: Normal new car tires should have no damage to the tire walls, especially the front tire walls, and no nail puncture marks on the tread. Check the doors: Qualified doors should open and close with uniform force and no abnormal noise. The sealing rubber should be intact, and when closing the door, you should feel a noticeable sealing effect. Additionally, the door should have a suction-like force in the final part of its travel to close it completely. Check the engine compartment: Inspect whether the engine is clean. If the vehicle has been used, some areas may have hidden dirt or accumulated dust. Also, check whether the engine oil and other fluids are at sufficient levels.
