Haval H4's radiator cap is located on the left side of the engine, identifiable as a white reservoir with a blue cap. Regular inspection of the coolant level in the overflow tank is recommended. Below is the checking procedure: 1. Wait until the engine cools down, then slowly open the cap to release pressure. 2. If coolant spills, rinse immediately with water to prevent damage to components or paintwork. 3. If the coolant level falls below the minimum mark, top up until it reaches between the min-max indicators, and inspect the cooling system for leaks.

My old Haval H4 has been running for over five years, so I'm very familiar with the location of the coolant reservoir. Just pop open the hood and look inside—it's a translucent plastic tank positioned at the lower right near the windshield. The tank has MAX and MIN level markers on its body, topped with a black threaded cap engraved with a triangular symbol. You'll need to crouch down to get a clear view, as I noticed some pipes blocking the sightline when helping my neighbor refill coolant last time. Always remember to check it when the engine is cold—I once tried unscrewing the cap right after a highway drive and nearly got scalded by steam. It's wise to inspect the tank for cracks or leaks while you're at it, and clean any dust around the opening to prevent contaminants from entering.

As a service advisor at a 4S dealership, I need to show 7-8 Haval H4 owners the radiator filler location daily. It's positioned at the front side of the firewall in the engine bay, directly ahead of the front passenger seat. The white translucent reservoir cap features wavy line markings - this is the coolant expansion tank. Before refilling, ensure the engine is completely cool; you'll hear a hissing sound from the pressure release when unscrewing the cap. Check fluid levels on level ground 30 minutes after engine shutdown - the ideal level is midway between the MIN and MAX marks. If levels drop frequently, inspect hose connections and the thermostat. Remember to use only dedicated coolant - mixing with water causes scaling that clogs the radiator.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Braking?

The following are the reasons for squeaking noises when braking: 1. Use of low-quality or overly hard brake pads. If the vehicle uses inferior or excessively hard brake pads, stepping on the brakes will cause the brake pads to rub against the brake discs, producing a squeaking sound. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality brake pads when replacing them. 2. Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs. During normal driving, it is inevitable to pass through some rough road conditions. Due to the unique design of disc brakes, some sand and foreign objects may enter between the brake pads and brake discs, which can also cause abnormal noises when braking. 3. Severe wear of the brake discs. Using low-quality brake pads or having hard foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs can lead to abnormal wear of the brake discs. If the brake discs are excessively worn, stepping on the brakes will also produce a squeaking sound. 4. Brake pad warning. Many people are unaware of when to replace brake pads. There is no strict mileage requirement for replacement; they should be replaced when they become thin. Some brake pads have electronic warning systems, while some lower-end vehicles use warning tabs. If the wear on the brake pads reaches the warning line, a squeaking sound will be emitted as an alert, indicating that they need to be replaced promptly.

Can an Automatic Transmission License Drive Manual Transmission Vehicles?

An automatic transmission license does not permit driving manual transmission vehicles. While a manual transmission license allows driving automatic transmission vehicles, the reverse is not true. An automatic transmission driver's license is classified as a C2 license. According to China's traffic regulations, a C2 license only permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Driving a manual transmission vehicle with a C2 license is considered equivalent to driving without a license and will result in severe legal penalties. If such an action leads to a traffic accident causing injuries or fatalities, the driver will also bear legal responsibility. The types of C licenses are as follows: 1. A C1 license allows driving small cars and small automatic transmission vehicles (C2), low-speed cargo vehicles (C3), and three-wheeled vehicles (C4). Small cars refer to vehicles with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating capacity (including the driver) not exceeding 9 people, and a vehicle length under 6 meters. If any of these conditions are not met, a C1 license cannot be used. For example, vehicles like the Maybach, which exceed 6 meters in length, cannot be driven with a C1 license. 2. C2 licenses are designated for small automatic transmission vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In driving test centers, it is common to see many women taking the C2 license test. Currently, most vehicles on the market are automatic transmission models. Although the C2 license has more restrictions compared to the C1, in practice, most people with a C1 license drive automatic transmission vehicles. 3. C3 low-speed cargo vehicles are also quite common, with the most representative being the Wuling double-row mini-truck. According to regulations, these vehicles have a maximum design speed of ≤70 km/h, a maximum total mass of ≤4.5 tons, a length of ≤6 meters, a width of ≤2 meters, and a height of ≤2.5 meters, and are four-wheeled trucks. C4 three-wheeled vehicles, however, are rare in China but more common abroad, such as the Morgan three-wheeler.

What is the difference between 2.0t and 2.0l?

Although both the 2.0T and 2.0L have the same displacement of 2.0, they have different engines. The 2.0T is a turbocharged engine and a direct-injection engine, while the 2.0L is a naturally aspirated engine and a multi-point fuel injection engine. Therefore, the 2.0T engine has greater power, and its output is equivalent to that of a 2.4L naturally aspirated model. Additional Information: 1. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. It uses the inertia of the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller compresses the air delivered from the air filter pipe, pressurizing it before it enters the cylinder. 2. When the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously, allowing the impeller to compress more air into the cylinder. The increased pressure and density of the air enable more fuel to be burned. By correspondingly increasing the fuel quantity and adjusting the engine speed, the engine's output power can be increased.

What is the actual lifespan of Nissan's CVT transmission?

Nissan's CVT transmission can last between 400,000 to 500,000 kilometers, but minor issues typically start appearing after 100,000 kilometers. Here's more information about CVT transmissions: 1. CVT refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. It mainly consists of two conical pulleys and a steel belt or chain. The two conical pulleys can be tightened or loosened via electronically controlled hydraulic pressure, changing the diameter of the steel belt wrapped around them to achieve different gear ratios. During startup, the driving pulley has the smallest diameter while the driven pulley has the largest diameter; during high-speed driving, the driving pulley's diameter increases while the driven pulley's diameter decreases. The entire diameter-changing process is controlled by a computer, enabling seamless and stepless adjustment. 2. CVT transmissions provide excellent fuel efficiency for vehicles, ensuring smooth driving experiences while effectively reducing emissions.

How to Distinguish Between Good and Bad Spark Plugs?

Methods to determine the quality of spark plugs: 1. Spark Test: Remove the spark plug and test it on the cylinder block with a high-voltage wire. If there is no spark or the spark is weak, it indicates that the spark plug is leaking electricity or not working. 2. Color Observation: Remove the spark plug. If the surface appears reddish-brown or rust-colored, it indicates the spark plug is normal; if it is oily, it indicates a gap misalignment, excessive fuel supply, a short circuit in the high-voltage wire, or non-operation; if the spark plug is severely eroded, with phenomena such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or electrode melting, it means the spark plug is damaged and must be replaced immediately. Effects of a Bad Spark Plug: If the spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The main problem is difficulty in ignition, affecting the normal use of the vehicle. Severe erosion of the spark plug, blistering at the top, damage, or melting and erosion of the electrode all indicate that the spark plug is ruined and should be replaced.
