Car makes a hissing sound like air leakage when the air conditioner is turned on is the refrigerant airflow noise caused by the throttling of the expansion valve in front of the evaporator in the car air conditioning system. As long as the operating condition is slightly changed, such as adjusting the fan speed, the sound will disappear. The car evaporator is a component in the air conditioning system. Its function is to allow low-temperature condensed gas to pass through the evaporator, exchange heat with the outside air, absorb heat through liquefaction, and achieve the cooling effect. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in the car, which can cool, heat, ventilate and purify the air in the compartment, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing the driver's fatigue and improving driving safety.

Should the Front Windshield Be Tinted?

Front windshields should be tinted. The benefits of car window tinting include: 1. Heat insulation in summer, reducing air conditioning energy consumption; 2. Reduced heat loss in winter, maintaining interior temperature; 3. UV protection, prolonging the lifespan and quality of interior furnishings; 4. Reduced glare, ensuring safer and more comfortable driving. Post-tinting precautions: 1. Avoid rolling down windows for three days; 2. Do not clean the tint or activate defogger heating wires for one week; 3. Do not use fingernails or sharp objects to peel edges to prevent dirt ingress; 4. Avoid suction-cup items on the tint for 1-2 weeks; 5. Address bubbles, shifting, or blurred vision promptly with professionals to ensure driving safety.

How to Maintain a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission maintenance methods are: 1. After driving a certain mileage or returning from a long-distance trip, check whether the transmission has any oil leakage. Once oil leakage or seepage is found, immediately identify the cause and conduct timely inspection and repair; 2. The lubricating oil in the transmission should be replaced regularly; 3. Keep the transmission clean. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device used to change the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to obtain different traction forces and speeds during stationary starts, climbing, turning, and acceleration, while allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable working range.

What Causes Drum Brake Noise?

The causes of drum brake noise are: 1. The brake pads are nearing their wear limit, triggering a warning sound; 2. Foreign objects inside the brake assembly; 3. Improper installation of brake shoes, uneven wear of brake linings, or severe wear of the brake drum. Drum brakes consist of components such as the brake backing plate, wheel cylinder, brake shoes, related linkages, springs, pins, and the brake drum, and are commonly used for rear wheels. The method for removing drum brakes is: 1. Before removal, use a screwdriver to press the wedge upward through the wheel's bolt hole to retract the brake shoes; 2. Use the VW6372 special tool to remove the hub cap, pull out the cotter pin, and remove the crown nut retaining ring; 3. Remove the wheel bearing preload adjustment nut, washer, and bearing, then take off the brake drum.

What is the difference between longitudinally mounted and transversely mounted engines?

The differences between longitudinally mounted and transversely mounted engines are: 1. Different driving methods: Cars with longitudinally mounted engines are rear-wheel drive; cars with transversely mounted engines are front-wheel drive. 2. Different placement methods: The longitudinally mounted engine is placed vertically; the transversely mounted engine is placed horizontally. If the axis of the engine crankshaft is arranged in the same direction as the wheel half-shaft axis, it is a transverse arrangement; if the axis of the engine crankshaft is arranged in a cross shape with the wheel half-shaft axis, it is a longitudinal arrangement. When a car adopts a front-engine front-wheel drive layout, the engine is generally arranged transversely, which allows the gearbox and reducer to be concentrated in the engine compartment, making full use of the interior space.

How to Bleed Brakes?

The method for bleeding brakes is: 1. Locate the bleeder screw on the brake caliper and remove the dust cap from the bleeder valve; 2. Connect the bleeder port to a drain bottle using a rubber hose; 3. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder screw on the brake caliper, repeating this operation as needed. The brake is positioned below the driver's seat and the control console. Braking, also known as stopping, refers to the action of halting or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The working principle of brakes is: a wheel or disc is fixed on the high-speed shaft of the machine, and a corresponding brake shoe, band, or disc is installed on the machine base, which generates braking torque under external force.
