I've been driving my Lavida for seven or eight years, and last month I replaced the coolant temperature sensor myself. That thing is located behind the engine, near the firewall on top, and you have to get under the steering wheel from the cabin to see it. To be honest, that spot is really awkward to work on—you have to remove the intake pipe first to reach it. The sensor is plugged into the cooling water channel on the engine cylinder head and secured with a cross-head screw. Once, a car wash guy reminded me during an inspection that if the sensor socket gets soaked in leaking coolant for too long, it can cause poor contact, leading to inaccurate coolant temperature readings on the dashboard. Last time my car's temperature gauge was acting up, it was because the socket got damp.

What Causes the Inability to Accelerate When Going Uphill?

Here are the reasons why a car cannot accelerate when going uphill: 1. Poor fuel quality. When there are too many impurities or excessive water in the fuel, it can lead to insufficient power. Moreover, low-quality fuel can easily clog components with small holes or filtration functions, such as the fuel pump filter, gasoline filter, and fuel injectors, resulting in poor fuel supply and reduced engine performance. 2. Severe carbon buildup. Excessive carbon deposits in the throttle valve and intake pipes can restrict airflow, preventing gasoline from burning completely, which naturally leads to insufficient power and, to some extent, increased fuel consumption. Clogged fuel injectors can result in poor fuel atomization or even a complete failure to inject fuel, causing a misfire and reducing the engine's output power. 3. Damaged ignition coil. A damaged ignition coil can prevent a cylinder from igniting and functioning properly, leading to a misfire and insufficient power, accompanied by engine shaking. If the ignition coil is damaged, it should be replaced promptly. 4. Dirty gasoline filter. A gasoline filter that hasn't been replaced for a long time can fail to filter the gasoline properly. In severe cases, the filter may become clogged, commonly resulting in the car stalling easily and frequently failing to start.

What reference points should be observed for left reverse parking?

Left reverse parking requires observing the steering wheel turning point and the reference point for direction correction. Below are detailed techniques for reverse parking: 1. Identify the starting point: Taking right reverse parking as an example, the vehicle should maintain a distance of 1.2-1.8 meters from the left boundary line at the starting position. The steering wheels must be straight, and the vehicle body should be parallel to the left boundary line. When reversing, use the lower edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When they align, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. 2. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When the parking corner point is visible, observe the changing distance between the corner point and the vehicle body. If the distance is less than 30 cm, turn the steering wheel back halfway and continue reversing. Once the vehicle body enters the parking space and aligns parallel with the parking lines, turn the steering wheel back one full turn. If the distance is not less than 30 cm, do not turn the steering wheel back. Continue reversing until the vehicle body is parallel with the parking lines, then turn the steering wheel back one and a half turns at once. 3. Align the stopping point: The stopping point is where the vehicle stops after entering the parking space. The reference method is the same as for the starting point. When the lower edge of the left mirror aligns with the shoulder line of the parking space, stop the vehicle.

What is the working principle of an engine ignition coil?

The ignition coil is essentially a transformer that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It converts the 6-volt low-voltage current from the battery or magneto into a high-voltage current ranging from 11,000 to 15,000 volts. The ignition coil primarily consists of a low-voltage coil (also known as the primary coil), a high-voltage coil (also known as the secondary coil), and an iron core. The low-voltage coil is wound with thicker copper enameled wire and has fewer turns. One end of this coil is connected to the power source, while the other end is linked to the circuit switch (breaker). The high-voltage coil, on the other hand, is wound with finer copper enameled wire and has many more turns. One end of this coil is connected to the spark plug, and the other end is grounded to the vehicle body. Below is a brief introduction to the ignition coil: 1. Function: It transforms low-voltage direct current into high-voltage electricity, which can reach tens of thousands of volts, and uses the spark plug in the cylinder to ionize and break down the air, generating an electric spark. 2. Transformer: Ordinary transformers operate at a fixed frequency of 50Hz, also known as power frequency transformers. In contrast, the ignition coil operates in a pulsed manner and can be considered a pulse transformer. It repeatedly stores and releases energy at varying frequencies depending on the engine's speed. When the primary coil is connected to the power source, a strong magnetic field is generated around it as the current increases, and the iron core stores this magnetic field energy.

What is the Difference Between Dual Clutch and Continuously Variable Transmission?

The differences between dual clutch and continuously variable transmission are: 1. Different working principles. The continuously variable transmission achieves gear changes by altering the diameter of the pulley; the dual clutch consists of two sets of manual transmissions, pre-combining the next gear to be shifted. 2. Different driving smoothness. The dual clutch transmission system has fast shifting speed and minimal power loss during power transmission; the continuously variable automatic transmission offers a smooth shifting feel with linear power output, providing a more stable driving experience. 3. Different vehicle adaptations. Dual clutch transmissions are mainly divided into dry and wet types, primarily used in the European automotive market; continuously variable transmissions are suitable for use in small-displacement, lighter-weight vehicle models.

Can Scratch Wax Remove Scratches?

Scratch wax is the best solution for removing scratches without color difference, aside from repainting. Scratch wax essentially functions like a polisher, similar to sandpaper, exerting a physical effect on the car's paint surface. If the vehicle's scratches have not damaged the primer and there are no dents on the paint surface, they can be repaired by repeatedly wiping with a towel and scratch wax. When using scratch wax, it's important to control the frequency of waxing. Depending on the driving environment and parking locations, the interval between waxing should vary. You can also judge by touch; generally, when the body feels rough to the touch, it's time to rewax. Before waxing, clean the car's surface of dirt and dust with water, dry it thoroughly, and then apply the wax in a shady area to prevent the car body from heating up. As temperature rises, the adhesion of the wax decreases, affecting the quality of the waxing. After waxing, some wax residue may remain in the gaps of the car lights, license plate, doors, and trunk. If not cleaned promptly, these residues can cause rust. After using scratch wax, the car's paint surface may become matte to varying degrees. As mentioned earlier, the principle of scratch wax is similar to sandpaper—it uses fine particles to grind the areas with minor scratches on the car's paint surface to make them smooth. When applying scratch wax, it doesn't just target the specific scratch but affects the entire waxed area with abrasive action. Therefore, although the scratches disappear after using scratch wax, the waxed area's paint surface will not be as shiny as before.
