I've been driving a Geely King Kong for several years and handle minor tasks like adding windshield washer fluid myself. You open the front hood, and on the left side of the engine compartment near the fender, there's a palm-sized plastic reservoir with a blue cap engraved with the windshield spray icon. I remember almost making a mistake the first time—the red cap next to it is the coolant reservoir. Don't pour too quickly when filling; the washer fluid tends to splash out since the opening isn't very large. In winter, if temperatures drop, you need to switch to antifreeze washer fluid. Once, I forgot to change it, and the water line froze and cracked, costing over 300 yuan to replace the part. Now, I always keep two bottles handy, using the one with a -25°C freezing point below zero. Actually, using windshield washer concentrate mixed with purified water works too, but tap water with impurities can easily clog the spray nozzles.

As a car newbie, I didn't even know how to open the hood when I first bought my Geely King Kong. Later I learned that to add windshield washer fluid, you need to open the engine compartment and look for a small blue cap with a fan-shaped water droplet symbol in the left corner. The salesperson said this reservoir has about a 3-liter capacity, with "Windshield Washer" written in English on the cap. I was super nervous during my first refill, afraid I might pour it into the adjacent pink coolant reservoir. Turns out there was nothing to worry about - the blue cap and washer symbol are very distinctive. Nowadays I usually let car wash technicians top it up, but when buying myself, I just get universal washer fluid from supermarkets - a 7-8 yuan bottle lasts about three months in summer. After refilling, always check the spray pattern - scattered streams might indicate clogged nozzles.

Last month, my wife's Geely King Kong couldn't spray washer fluid, so she asked me to refill it. Opening the hood, I found the blue cap on the left side with a small fountain symbol. The translucent reservoir showed the fluid level - just top it up. I took the opportunity to teach her to identify other fluid reservoirs: yellow cap for engine oil, green for brake fluid, red for coolant tank, while the washer fluid reservoir always has the most noticeable blue system. I recommend keeping a small bottle of concentrated washer fluid in the car for emergencies when you run out. Last time it rained, the spray seemed weak - turns out there was air in the lines, but spraying continuously for ten seconds cleared it. Remember to use antifreeze formula in winter, especially in northern regions where temperatures drop below minus ten degrees.

The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located at the upper left corner of the engine compartment, marked by a blue cap with a windshield icon on the plastic container. Don't believe online claims about needing tools—just twist the cap open by hand to refill. The container has a MAX fill line, and filling it to three-quarters capacity is ideal, leaving room for expansion in winter. Plain windshield washer fluid works fine; the five-yuan bottles at gas stations are sufficient. Once, a relative mistakenly added mineral water, which later caused algae growth and clogged the spray nozzles. By the way, if parked outdoors long-term, it's best to cover the opening with cardboard to keep dust out. The design of the King Kong model is quite thoughtful—the filler neck is more ergonomically placed than in Volkswagen models, eliminating the need to bend over and reach into tight corners.

Last time during maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that windshield washer fluid should be replaced quarterly, which made me finally notice the filling location on my King Kong. When you open the hood, the blue-capped reservoir with a 5cm diameter at the front left corner is the one—marked with a water droplet and wavy line icon. Before topping it up yourself, clean dust around the opening to prevent debris from falling in. Using a funnel makes pouring easier; a $0.5 plastic funnel from the supermarket works fine. Also, the washer fluid reservoir connects to a pump motor—running it dry could burn out the motor, costing over $50 in repairs. It’s best to refill when only one-third remains. Always use neutral pH washer fluid, as strong acidity/alkalinity can corrode the tubing. In winter, opt for antifreeze fluid with a freezing point at least 10°C below your local minimum temperature for safety.

What to Check When Picking Up a New Car?

When picking up a new car at a 4S dealership, the following inspection items should be performed: Odometer mileage reading: Generally between 20 to 80 kilometers. Check for any debris in the radiator fins, whether the seat protective covers and front plastic sheets are intact, and if there are any stains on the interior seats and dashboard. Check the date: When picking up a pre-ordered car, pay attention to the manufacturing date (must be within one month). If there's a significant gap between the manufacturing date and the pickup date, the car might be a display vehicle (placed in the showroom for customer viewing) or a test drive vehicle. Compare dates: Remember to request the manufacturing date and shipping date when picking up the car, and compare them carefully with the vehicle you're picking up. Inspect the exterior: When selecting a new car, you can request to see two vehicles of the same model. Pay attention to the body panel gaps and paintwork. There are techniques for this observation: focus on the gaps between the bumper and body panels, open the doors to check for color differences between the interior and exterior paint, etc. For paint inspection, good lighting conditions are crucial. Daylight is ideal as it reveals all imperfections. If you're in a showroom, you can observe the car at an angle against the daylight direction for similar results.

Can Concept Cars Be Driven on the Road?

Concept cars cannot be driven on the road. A concept car is a type of vehicle that exists between imagination and reality. It must go into production, be mass-produced, and become a commercial vehicle before it can be legally driven on the road. Reasons why concept cars cannot be driven on the road: Concept cars cannot be registered and are generally only suitable for private collections or for use in amusement parks for visitors. For traffic safety reasons, concept cars are not allowed to drive on urban roads. Concept cars can be understood as the future of automobiles—a type of vehicle that bridges imagination and reality. Automobile designers use concept cars to showcase novel, unique, and advanced ideas, reflecting human dreams and the pursuit of advanced vehicles. These cars are often in the creative or experimental stage and may never go into production. They are primarily used for vehicle development research and testing, providing prototypes for exploring car styling, adopting new structures, and validating new principles. Categories of concept cars: One type is a functional real car, while the other is a design concept model. The first type is closer to mass production, with advanced technologies already in testing and gradually becoming practical, usually becoming a company's new product within about 5 years. The second type, although more futuristic in design, may never become a commercial product due to environmental, research, cost, and other factors, serving only as a research concept for future development.

What is the difference between AMT and MT?

MT refers to the traditional manual transmission, while AMT stands for Automated Manual Transmission, which is essentially a manual transmission equipped with a microcomputer-controlled automatic shifting system. Introduction to AMT: AMT is a modification based on the original mechanical transmission (manual gearbox), primarily altering the manual gear-shifting mechanism. Without changing the overall transmission structure, it achieves automated gear shifting by adding a microcomputer-controlled automatic operating system. Therefore, AMT essentially uses a computer to control a robotic system that performs two actions: operating the clutch and selecting gears. Core Technology of AMT: The core technology of AMT lies in microcomputer control, where electronic technology and quality directly determine the performance and operational quality of the AMT. AMT can determine the optimal gear based on parameters such as vehicle speed, throttle position, and driver commands. It controls operations that were traditionally performed manually by the driver, including clutch engagement and disengagement, gear lever shifting, and synchronized adjustment of the engine throttle opening, ultimately achieving automated gear shifting. AMT retains the basic structure of the original mechanical transmission and, compared to the commonly used imported AT (hydraulic torque converter automatic transmission), offers advantages such as high transmission efficiency, compact structure, low cost, ease of manufacturing, reliable operation, and convenient handling.

Is an idle speed of 600 to 700 RPM normal?

This depends on the engine displacement. If the displacement is above 2.5L, an idle speed of 600-700 RPM is normal. If the displacement is below 2.0L, the idle speed should be around 800-900 RPM. Normal engine idle speed values: Generally, the normal idle speed for most vehicles does not exceed 1000 RPM, typically ranging between 600-900 RPM. However, during cold starts, the idle speed will be higher because operating the engine at low temperatures can cause wear. To prevent this, the engine control unit (ECU) will increase the idle speed to quickly reach the engine's optimal operating temperature. Once the coolant temperature stabilizes, the idle speed will drop back to the normal range. Abnormal idle speed (too high or too low) may indicate a fault: The idle speed is preset at the factory and should not vary significantly during normal use. If the idle speed remains too high or too low after the engine has warmed up, it may indicate issues such as an intake air leak, faulty fuel injectors, or other problems that require inspection at a repair shop. If the idle speed fluctuates and the vehicle shakes severely, it is likely caused by excessive carbon buildup in the engine.

What Material is Best for Engine Protection Plates?

Engine protection plates are generally made of hard plastic, resin, iron, or aluminum alloy, which are considered good materials. Below is relevant information: 1. The development of engine protection plates in China has mainly gone through three stages: hard plastic, resin, iron, and aluminum alloy. Different materials have fundamentally different characteristics. However, the most critical factor is ensuring that the engine can still properly drop down after the protection plate is installed. 2. Engine protection plates are custom-designed protective devices for various vehicle models. Their primary purpose is to prevent mud from covering the engine, and secondly, to protect the engine from damage caused by impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving. Through a series of designs, they help extend the engine's lifespan and avoid vehicle breakdowns due to external factors damaging the engine during travel.

To what level should the coolant be filled?

Coolant is added from the coolant reservoir tank, which is located in the engine compartment. Open the engine hood to see it. Coolant filling procedure: Tighten the radiator drain switch and fill the radiator with coolant until it overflows. The typical coolant filling volume is 4 to 5 liters. Tighten the radiator filler cap. Fill the engine coolant reservoir until the liquid level reaches the full mark. Warm up the engine until the thermostat valve opens. Turn off the engine and wait until the coolant cools down. Remove the radiator filler cap and check the coolant level. Precautions for using coolant: Prevent coolant leakage, as it not only results in coolant loss but also severe leakage can dilute engine oil, causing lubrication system failures. Avoid contact with skin. Maintain continuous use of coolant throughout the year. Be careful not to start the engine to prevent fire. Select the appropriate type of coolant based on the specific structural characteristics of various engines. Purchase coolant products that have passed inspections by nationally designated testing stations. Do not mix or use different brands of coolant together. Coolant should only be added to the cooling system.
