Air has entered the headlight or the headlight has aged. Below is relevant information about xenon headlights: 1. Introduction: Xenon headlights (High-intensity-Discharge-Lamp) are high-pressure gas discharge lamps filled with a mixture of inert gases including xenon, without the filament found in halogen lamps (halogen-lamp). They are also referred to as HID xenon headlights, metal halide lamps, or xenon lamps, and are categorized into automotive xenon headlights and outdoor lighting xenon headlights. 2. Advantages: The color temperature of automotive xenon headlights ranges between 4000K and 6000K, significantly higher than that of standard headlight bulbs. Xenon headlights are exceptionally bright; those with a 4300K color temperature emit a white light with a yellowish tint. Due to the lower color temperature, the visual effect is slightly yellowish, but the light penetration is stronger than that of higher color temperature lamps, enhancing driving safety during nighttime and foggy conditions.

How Long Does a Wipe-and-Spray Coating Agent Last?

Automotive coating spray, applied by wiping and spraying, can last for about a year. Introduction to Coating: Automotive coating is a paint protection project that involves applying inorganic materials such as glass cellulose, silicon polymers, fluorine polymers, and high-purity water evenly on the car's paint surface. These materials form a hard, oxidation-resistant inorganic film that chemically reacts with the paint to create a glass-like protective layer. This layer shields the paint from external damage, enhances the hardness and brightness of the paint surface, and makes the car body smoother and more lustrous. Function of Coating: Automotive coating agents differ from car wax in that their molecules are smaller, allowing them to form a tighter and more durable protective layer on the car's paint surface. This layer can repel water, resist acid rain, block UV rays, and prevent the paint from oxidizing and fading.

Does Rainy Weather Affect Crystal Coating?

Rainy weather does not affect crystal coating. Here is detailed information about vehicle crystal coating: 1. Definition: Vehicle crystal coating provides reliable paint surface sealing technology for the car's paint. Crystal coating efficiently and durably protects the car's paint, preventing environmental factors from affecting the paint's color. Vehicles with crystal coating are more corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easier to clean. 2. Precautions: Genuine crystal coating films are expensive, and ordinary vehicles generally do not come equipped with them. Manufacturers often use cheap materials as substitutes to profit, leading to a decline in the quality of the coating film. Additionally, the quality of commonly used crystal coating films on the market generally does not last more than a year.

What does oil pressure failure mean?

Engine oil pressure failure most commonly indicates insufficient oil volume. Below is relevant information about engines: 1. Introduction: An engine is a machine capable of converting non-mechanical energy into mechanical energy. 2. Classification: Includes internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. 3. External combustion engines: These refer to engines where fuel burns outside the engine. 4. Internal combustion engines: Reciprocating piston engines, with the key difference from external combustion engines being that fuel burns inside them. There are numerous types of internal combustion engines, with common gasoline and diesel engines being typical examples.

What is inside the car expansion tank cap?

The car expansion tank contains coolant. Introduction to coolant: Coolant, whose full name should be antifreeze coolant, refers to a coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and expanding the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the car is parked in cold seasons. Antifreeze is not only used in winter; it should be used all year round. Function of the expansion tank: The function of the car expansion tank is to ensure that the radiator is filled with coolant, providing space for the coolant to expand when heated and compensate for the volume when cooled. It also maintains a certain reserve of water to avoid consumption and water shortage.

What is the difference between passive wheels and drive wheels?

Passive wheels and drive wheels differ in the following ways: 1. Different functions: Drive wheels convert the engine's energy into kinetic energy, driving the wheels to rotate, enabling the vehicle to move forward or backward, while also outputting power and torque. Passive wheels have no power and serve a supporting role; their rotation is driven by other forces, hence they are called passive or driven wheels. 2. Different characteristics: The power source of drive wheels is the engine, which converts the engine's energy into kinetic energy. The power source of passive wheels is the drive wheels; they rotate as the drive wheels turn, and their main function is to support the vehicle's weight. The ground friction experienced by drive wheels acts as resistance, opposite in direction to the wheel's rolling motion.

Why doesn't JAC Volkswagen use the Volkswagen logo?

JAC Volkswagen does not use the Volkswagen logo because foreign automakers are only allowed to have two joint ventures in China. Here are the relevant details: 1. Volkswagen: Volkswagen offers a convertible with both an electric hardtop and a sunroof. Volkswagen has also incorporated an electric sunroof into the convertible roof structure, allowing owners to freely choose between convertible mode, hardtop coupe mode, or just the sunroof mode under different weather conditions, making it convenient and quick. 2. SOL: The brand formed by JAC and Volkswagen is called SOL, which was established on April 24, 2018. It is a new brand under JAC Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. The brand's first model is the E20X, which was launched at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show. The model is a pure electric A-segment vehicle, an SUV type, with a comprehensive range of over 300 kilometers.
