Civic engine making loud noises when the air conditioning is on may have the following reasons: 1. Throttle valve dirty or stuck: When the air conditioning is working, the compressor also operates, and the compressor is driven by the engine, so turning on the air conditioning increases the engine load. 2. Air conditioning pump abnormal noise: There are two main reasons for air conditioning pump abnormal noise: electromagnetic clutch and air conditioning pump internal bearings. Electromagnetic clutch noise is mainly caused by wear leading to increased clearance, while air conditioning pump bearing noise is mainly due to lack of lubricating oil. 3. Compressor drive belt tension issues: If the drive belt is too loose, the electromagnetic clutch is prone to slipping; if the drive belt is too tight, the load on the electromagnetic clutch increases.

What is the normal tire pressure for a Focus?

The normal tire pressure for a Focus is between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. The effects of overinflated tires are: 1. Increased friction between the tire and the ground, reducing tire grip; 2. Affects the vehicle's braking performance and driving comfort, accelerating wear on the central tread and shortening tire lifespan. The effects of underinflated tires are: 1. Increased contact area between the tire and the ground, making the steering wheel heavier and affecting driving; 2. Tires are prone to overheating, increasing the risk of blowouts; 3. The tire body expands, making it more likely for cracks to appear on the inner and outer sides of the tire; 4. Accelerates rubber aging and increases tire wear. The Focus is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan. Taking the 2021 Focus as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4647 mm, width 1810 mm, height 1468 mm, with a wheelbase of 2705 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, and a trunk capacity of 511 liters.

How to Deactivate the Auto Start-Stop Function in Corolla?

Corolla's auto start-stop function is enabled by default. Once the car is started, the auto start-stop system operates normally. To deactivate it, simply press the auto start-stop button. Advantages and disadvantages of the auto start-stop system: 1. Advantages: It can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. In urban traffic, when waiting for traffic lights or in traffic jams, it minimizes engine idling time. Additionally, when the engine is off, the power supply can replace the pulley to provide operating power for the engine cooling fan and the car's air conditioning. 2. Disadvantages: It requires a more durable starter and battery. Conventional starters are designed to handle high operating currents but for short durations. Frequent use of the starter can easily lead to overheating and damage. Therefore, starters with auto start-stop functionality must be significantly more durable than standard starters.

Is There Any Harm in Using Toothpaste to Clean a Car Once?

Using toothpaste to clean a car does not cause significant harm to the vehicle. The following are some methods for car paint maintenance: Sponge Cleaning: Since low-density sponges have larger gaps, they can directly absorb fine particles when wiping off dust, minimizing scratches. However, sponge cleaning may still leave some scratches. Water Rinsing: Rinsing with water is the simplest and most practical method for removing dust. Water not only washes away dust on the car paint but also minimizes friction between the water flow and the paint, making this method the most protective for the car paint. Paint Protection: During daily car use, regularly waxing or applying sealant to the car forms a protective film on the paint surface, which helps prevent damage from dust.
