It may be because the belt is slipping on the generator, causing intense friction and vibration between the belt and the pulley, producing a noise at a certain frequency. Content expansion: 1. The main reasons for belt slipping are belt looseness or aging. Factors that can cause belt looseness include improper adjustment of the belt tensioner or insufficient tensioner spring force. In this case, the tension of the belt tensioner should first be adjusted. If this does not work, replace the tensioner. 2. Belt aging mainly refers to the belt gradually hardening and losing elasticity over prolonged use, reducing the friction between the belt and the pulley. In this case, the belt can only be replaced.

Does the Trumpchi GM8 require an oil reset?

If the engine oil of the Trumpchi GM8 has been replaced, an oil reset is required. An oil reset refers to connecting an instrument to the vehicle's computer port to reset the oil information. Otherwise, the computer will not recognize the newly added oil and may trigger an alarm. If the engine oil has been replaced but the dashboard still displays a warning, a manual reset is needed. With the engine off, press and hold the reset button, then turn on the ignition. The system will prompt whether to reset. If the oil life has reached its limit, the oil should be replaced immediately. If the issue persists after trying the above steps, there may be a fault with the dashboard or the vehicle's computer. Method for resetting the engine oil maintenance reminder: Turn off the ignition switch, press and hold the trip meter reset button on the instrument cluster. Turn on the ignition while keeping the button pressed. The odometer display will begin counting down. When the display shows 0000.0, release the button. The wrench indicator light on the instrument cluster, which signifies maintenance, should turn off. Note: If the battery cable needs to be disconnected after this operation, the vehicle must be locked and left for at least 5 minutes; otherwise, the reset will not be recorded by the control unit.

What is the Volkswagen 645 relay?

16 Volkswagen Polo 644 and 645 are electromechanical and rectifier-type relays, respectively. Inside, the 30 is the main contact point of the main line relay; the power pin (constant power) and 87a are normally closed. How to use: Turn on the switch, the coil generates a magnetic field to pull down the contact, 30 then disconnects from 87a and closes with 87; 87A is normally closed, meaning it connects with 30 when there is no current between 85 and 86. If 85 and 86 are disconnected, 30 disconnects from 87 and connects with 87a. Safety hazards: Abnormal noise caused by deformation or damage of a certain component; if the connecting rod bends and hits the cylinder, the valve spring breaks, or the crankshaft fractures, leading to abnormal noise; abnormal combustion due to the gasoline engine's ignition timing being too early or too late, causing detonation, while the diesel engine's injection timing being too early, resulting in premature rough metal knocking; improper assembly adjustment or repair can cause misalignment of machine component assembly gaps; if the piston pin is assembled too tightly or the valve clearance is improperly adjusted, abnormal noise will occur; generally, the higher the speed, the stronger the mechanical abnormal noise, but at high speeds, various sounds mix together, making some abnormal noises difficult to distinguish; therefore, diagnosing the speed depends on the abnormal sound.
