My Great Wall C50 has been running for 6 years now, and you can see the engine number when you open the hood. It's located on the left side of the engine block, near the brake fluid reservoir and firewall, where there's a flat area engraved with the number. I even made a rubbing of it during my last annual inspection—you need to apply dark ink paste and then use transparent tape to lift it off. A little tip: before making the rubbing, it's best to clean the area with carburetor cleaner. Oil leaks can easily obscure the number; last time, I had to scrub for a while to make it legible. If you can't find it, squat down and face the air filter box direction, and you'll see the engraved area.

The engine number of the Great Wall C50 really requires careful searching. I've checked it several times myself. Specifically, it's located on the cylinder block plane near the passenger side, above the connection between the engine and transmission. When you look in from the front of the car, you'll need to move aside some wiring harnesses to clearly see the stamped number. I recommend doing this in the morning when the engine is cold, otherwise the exhaust manifold gets extremely hot. Last time during my vehicle inspection, the number was covered with oil sludge - I had to scrub for ten minutes with a toothbrush dipped in diesel before it became visible. By the way, the seventh character of the engine number indicates the year - on my car it's L representing 2012, which needs verification during inspection.

Just finished inspecting my brother's Great Wall C50. The engine number is located on the inclined surface on the left side of the cylinder block, which is slightly harder to find compared to sedans. You need to properly secure the hood support rod and position your head near the shock absorber tower to look downward. The embossed characters are about 0.5mm deep - when making a rubbing, wide adhesive tape works better than carbon paper. Here's an extra tip: This engine model is GW4G15T, the turbocharged version of the 15 series. If you've installed an aftermarket air intake cone filter, you might need to remove its mounting bracket to get enough working space.

How to Save Gasoline for Cars?

Warm up the car for 1 to 3 minutes before going out in winter, and start driving after the water temperature reaches 40℃. Start in low gear, gently press the accelerator pedal, and accelerate slowly. The economical speed for most cars is between 60 and 80 km/h. Driving at the economical speed saves the most gasoline. Lightly lifting the accelerator can save gasoline. If the accelerator is lifted abruptly, the engine speed will suddenly decrease and act as a drag.

What reference points make it easier to pass the single-plank bridge with an A2 license?

Passing a single-plank bridge requires different reference points for each vehicle model, which you need to determine yourself. How to pass the single-plank bridge: When approaching the bridge, whether it's the left or right plank, align the vehicle straight (preferably about five meters away from the bridge; beginners should increase this distance). Then, adjust the position of the front hood relative to the bridge based on the vehicle and your height, ensuring the front wheels are aligned with the plank (ideally, make this adjustment five meters away). Use a low gear and maintain a steady speed to pass the bridge slowly. Increase throttle when ascending the bridge, then gradually ease off as the front wheels reach the bridge surface. Keep the steering steady—hold the wheel firmly to prevent deviation, and avoid turning (minor adjustments can be made if the vehicle drifts). This ensures a smooth passage. The vehicle will tilt when ascending and descending—stay calm, especially avoiding shaky hands, as this can cause the vehicle to fall off. Identify the correct reference points (varies by vehicle model; practice is essential), control the speed, and practice diligently.

How long should the engine keep running after jump-starting a dead car battery?

If the engine is running at a speed above 2,000 RPM, it will take at least 4 hours to fully recharge the battery. If the engine speed is below 2,000 RPM, the required charging time will be even longer. Additionally, charging while driving takes less time compared to idling charging. Methods to restore power to a dead car battery: Pulse repair: The most effective method to eliminate battery sulfation is pulse repair, which uses instantaneous voltage between 60V to 300V. Higher pulse voltage shortens the repair time, while lower pulse voltage prolongs it. Full charge and discharge repair: This method involves fully charging the battery first, then completely discharging it to restore the battery. Solutions for a dead battery that won't start the car: If you encounter a situation where the car won't start due to a dead battery, you can seek help from another driver to charge your car battery through jumper cables. However, be careful during the connection process: connect the battery positive to the power source positive and the battery negative to the power source negative. Avoid incorrect connections to prevent accidents.

Do I need to register with the vehicle management office for car wheel hub modifications?

Modifying the size of car wheel hubs requires registration, but if the hub size remains unchanged, registration is not necessary. Below are relevant details: Before modification, you can consult the vehicle management office to understand the situation. Otherwise, the annual inspection may not pass, and you may be ordered to restore the original condition. If you replace the hub with the same size, the annual review can generally pass, but the appearance should not change too much unless local policies are very strict. According to Article 6 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," changes such as body color, engine replacement, frame replacement, substandard body quality, illegal operation, and household registration changes must be reported. Other minor components that do not affect performance and are produced by regular manufacturers do not need to be reported. As long as the size of the replaced hub is the same as the original, the appearance can be changed to any style. If the size is changed, the annual inspection will not pass. According to the latest "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," as long as the tire size remains unchanged, changing the color of the hub or replacing it with another hub is legal and does not require registration.

What does gasoline 92 and 95 mean?

92 gasoline refers to gasoline with an octane rating of 92, while 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Understanding gasoline grades: The main difference between different gasoline grades lies in their anti-knock performance, which is an important indicator for measuring fuel quality. 92 gasoline is suitable for mid-range vehicles (with lower compression ratios), while 95 gasoline, composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, is recommended for engines with higher compression ratios. 98 gasoline has an octane rating equivalent to a mixture of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. The advantages of 98 gasoline are "two highs and two lows": higher anti-knock performance and power output, along with lower harmful substances in the gasoline and reduced exhaust pollution. Precautions for refueling: Do not switch gasoline grades arbitrarily. Switching to a lower grade may cause premature combustion, leading to engine knocking. Incomplete combustion can also increase carbon deposits, clogging ducts and injectors, resulting in reduced vehicle power and increased fuel consumption.

Is the Electronic Driver's License Nationwide Valid?

Currently, the electronic driver's license is not nationwide valid. It is only supported in cities such as Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Haikou, Zhengzhou, Nanchang, Wuhan, and Changsha. For specific supported cities and usage rules, please consult the local traffic management department. For now, it is still necessary to carry the original driver's license when driving. Here is additional information on the replacement process for a lost driver's license: 1. Use the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app to apply for a replacement driver's license. 2. Apply directly at the vehicle management office, bringing the driver's ID card, four one-inch white background photos of the driver without a hat, and pay the processing fee. The license can be obtained in 15 minutes.
