Phoenix engine is the Peugeot 1.6L engine with model number TU5JP4. Advantages of Phoenix engine: The advantage of TU5JP4 engine lies in its power output at high RPM. Without applying any advanced auxiliary technology, this engine can achieve a maximum power of 78kw/5750rpm and maximum torque of 142nm/4000rpm. Introduction to engines: Automotive engine is the power-generating device for vehicles, serving as the heart of a car that determines its power performance, fuel economy, stability and environmental friendliness. According to different power sources, automotive engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors and hybrid power systems, etc. Engine working principle: A four-stroke gasoline engine mixes air and gasoline in a certain proportion to form a good combustible mixture, which is drawn into the cylinder during the intake stroke. The compressed mixture ignites and burns to generate thermal energy, and the high-temperature high-pressure gas acts on the piston top to push the piston for reciprocating linear motion, outputting mechanical energy through the connecting rod and crankshaft flywheel mechanism. A four-stroke gasoline engine completes one working cycle through intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke and exhaust stroke.

I remember old drivers used to call it the 'Phoenix', referring to the Bosch fuel injection system paired with the 1.6L TU5JP4 engine used by Dongfeng Citroën in the early days. Back in the 1990s when carbureted cars dominated the streets, the sudden appearance of this fuel injection system in the Fukang was truly stunning. The engine cover bore the Phoenix logo, and its startup sound was remarkably crisp, with low fuel consumption and steady power. In those days, fuel efficiency was the real deal. Even now, when you occasionally spot an old Fukang on the road with hundreds of thousands of kilometers on the odometer, many have survived thanks to this system.

You're asking about that Citroën with the winged logo, right? Used to see it every day at the repair shop. The most amazing thing about this 1.6L engine is its incredibly smart fuel injection system – back in the 90s it could automatically adjust fuel delivery based on throttle position. But honestly, its catalytic converter was always clogging up; I've dismantled many exhaust pipes caked with thick carbon deposits. Yet the engine block itself is practically indestructible – I've seen taxi drivers rack up 700,000 km without major overhauls, and the crankcase still had a metallic sheen when opened.

Back in the day, auto repair magazines hyped this Phoenix system like crazy, but anyone who actually drove it knew how razor-sharp its response was. A light tap on the accelerator and it'd leap forward, cold starts in winter fired up at first crank. The most legendary was the modified 1998 Fukang rally champion – that engine ran flawlessly through the entire race. Later, the Peugeot 307 used the same system, just with upgraded ECU programming. Occasionally in the used car market, you'll spot an old 307 with that fiery phoenix emblem still visible under the hood.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the BMW X5?

BMW X5 has a ground clearance of over 250mm, with the minimum ground clearance being 250mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the horizontal ground when the car is fully loaded, i.e., at its maximum allowed load capacity. The minimum ground clearance reflects the car's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain without collision. Below is additional information: BMW X5: In terms of appearance, the 2020 BMW X5 features a rugged design for the front and rear bumpers. The front face still showcases the iconic large-sized "kidney grille" with chrome trim surrounding it, paired with a large lower air intake. The new car measures 4930/2004/1776mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2975mm.

Is an 8-speed manual-automatic transmission an AT transmission?

The 8-speed manual-automatic transmission in cars refers to a type of automatic transmission that has manual shifting capability. However, this transmission with manual shifting function is not necessarily an AT transmission; it could also be a dual-clutch transmission or a CVT transmission. Additional information: 1. Introduction to transmissions: A transmission is a gearbox that changes the transmission ratio and direction of motion, located between the clutch and the central drive. 2. Functions of the transmission: (1) Alter the transmission ratio between the engine and the wheels, allowing the engine to operate under optimal conditions, expanding the torque and speed transmitted to the drive wheels, and achieving different speeds. (2) Enable the car to reverse. (3) Provide a neutral gear setting.

What does ETC illegal photography mean?

Here is an introduction about ETC: 1. Introduction: ETC (Electronic-Toll-Collection), which translates to electronic toll collection in Chinese, is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. It utilizes dedicated short-range communication between an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and a microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. By leveraging computer networking technology and backend settlement processing with banks, it enables vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations. 2. Technical Principle: The ETC system employs automatic vehicle identification technology to establish wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, facilitating automatic vehicle recognition and the exchange of relevant toll data. It uses computer networks to process toll data, achieving a fully automatic electronic toll collection system without the need for vehicles to stop or toll booths to be staffed.

What does it mean when the electronic parking brake yellow light is on?

When the electronic parking brake yellow light is on, it usually indicates an issue with the brake pads or signal light. Here are the reasons why the brake pedal might be hard to press: 1. Vacuum booster pump problem: This situation definitely points to an issue with the vacuum booster pump. Whether at low speed or not, under normal driving conditions, the negative pressure in the intake pipe should draw air into the vacuum booster pump. 2. Vacuum booster pump leak: The vacuum booster pump should always be in a state of energy storage. If the pedal becomes hard only after the first press, it might be due to too low speed and too high gear, resulting in insufficient intake negative pressure to draw air. However, if the pedal is hard on the first press, it indicates a definite leak in the vacuum booster pump. 3. Hydraulic brake system: Because it uses a hydraulic brake system. When the engine is off, the hydraulic pump driving the brakes isn't working, causing a sharp increase in brake resistance, which makes the pedal feel very heavy and hard.

Does a 6-piston brake require modification of the master cylinder?

6-piston brakes require modification of the master cylinder because the brake fluid in the master cylinder applies pressure, and the liquid transmits this pressure through the lines to the pistons of the front and rear wheel brake calipers. This results in a higher fluid consumption than before, so it is recommended to replace the master cylinder with one that matches the current brake pump. Below is more related information: Basic principles of braking: 1. The driver presses the brake pedal, applying pressure to the brake fluid in the master cylinder. The liquid transmits this pressure through the lines to the pistons of each wheel's brake caliper. The pistons drive the brake calipers to clamp the brake disc, generating significant friction to slow down the vehicle. 2. Multi-piston calipers, also known as opposed calipers, use brake fluid to push out the pistons on both sides through the lines on the caliper. This simultaneously pushes the brake pads into contact with the brake disc, achieving the braking effect. 3. The total number of pistons is generally two or more, always an even number. The arrangement of the pistons also varies depending on the direction of force applied to the brake pads when they rub against the brake disc.
