The reasons why the engine gets very hot after driving for a while are as follows: 1. Severe shortage of coolant: If the coolant is not checked and replenished in time, it can easily lead to engine overheating. 2. Water pump failure: After the water pump fails, the water that conducts heat for the engine cannot circulate and renew in time. After driving for a while, the water temperature will rise rapidly, and the water temperature warning light on the dashboard will also illuminate. 3. Cooling fan failure: The cooling fan is damaged or the fan does not work due to a short circuit in the wiring, or the cooling fan rotates slowly, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating. This causes the engine temperature to rise, and you can naturally feel a significant amount of heat when opening the engine compartment.

How to Identify a Used Car That Has Been in an Accident

Methods to identify a used car that has been in an accident are as follows: 1. Check the screws on the hood: Under normal circumstances, whether there is an issue with the vehicle's engine or other components in the engine compartment, the hood does not need to be removed. If it has been removed, it likely indicates that the engine was replaced or repaired due to an accident. Therefore, to identify an accident car, check if there are any signs of paint damage or tampering around the screws on the hood. 2. Check the door screws: Under normal circumstances, car doors do not need to be removed unless the entire interior is being replaced or cleaned. If you find that the door screws have been tampered with, it's best to avoid that car. 3. Check the radiator screws: The radiator usually doesn't have issues. If the radiator has been replaced, it's almost certain that an accident caused it to break, necessitating a replacement. If you notice that the screws securing the radiator have been tampered with, there's a high probability that the car was involved in an accident.

What does a blue license plate on an electric vehicle mean?

Electric vehicles do not differentiate between yellow and blue license plates; only motor vehicles have yellow and blue license plates. A blue license plate indicates an electric bicycle that complies with the "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" standard, also known as a national standard vehicle, which is uniformly issued a formal anti-theft license plate (white characters on a blue background). The color of the license plate indicates the following categories: 1. Green plate: Electric bicycles that comply with the "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" standard, also known as national standard vehicles, are uniformly issued a formal anti-theft license plate (white characters on a green background). 2. Yellow plate: Yellow plates are divided into two categories. One type is for electric motorcycles, which are generally issued yellow plates; another type is for non-compliant vehicles that are given a temporary transition period in certain regions, which are uniformly issued yellow plates and managed by the traffic management department of the public security authority in accordance with non-motor vehicle regulations. The temporary anti-theft license plate is valid for 3 years from the date of registration. 3. White plate: White plates are also used as a temporary transition for non-compliant vehicles that do not meet the national "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" standard and are managed by the traffic management department of the public security authority in accordance with non-motor vehicle regulations. The temporary white anti-theft license plate is valid for 3 years from the date of registration.

What is the working principle of a relay?

Working principle of automotive relays: When the relay operates, the electromagnet is energized, attracting the armature to make contacts D and E touch, thus closing the working circuit. When the electromagnet is de-energized, it loses its magnetism, and the spring pulls the armature up, cutting off the working circuit. Therefore, a relay is essentially a switch that uses an electromagnet to control the opening and closing of a working circuit. Extension: 1. A relay, also known as an electrical relay, is an electronic control device. It consists of a control system (also called the input circuit) and a controlled system (also called the output circuit), commonly used in automatic control circuits. Essentially, it is an "automatic switch" that uses a smaller current to control a larger one. Thus, it plays roles such as automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit switching in electrical circuits. 2. The relay coil is represented by a rectangular box symbol in circuit diagrams. If the relay has two coils, two parallel rectangular boxes are drawn. The relay's text symbol "J" is also marked inside or beside the rectangular box. 3. Since a relay consists of two parts—the coil and the contact group—the graphical symbol of a relay in a circuit diagram also includes these two parts: a rectangular box represents the coil, and a set of contact symbols represents the contact group. When the circuit is simple with few contacts, the contact group is often drawn directly on one side of the coil box. This method is called the centralized representation method.

Which is more fuel-efficient, 2.4L or 2.0T?

2.4L is more fuel-efficient. The 2.0T is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, while the 2.4L is a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0T turbocharged engine has a much larger air intake volume compared to the 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, so the 2.0T delivers more power and consumes more fuel than the 2.4L. The main differences between the 2.0T and 2.4L are as follows: 1. Principle of turbocharging: In the same unit of time, a turbocharged engine can force more air-fuel mixture into the cylinder for compression and combustion, resulting in greater power output than a naturally aspirated engine, but with higher fuel consumption. 2. Function: Turbocharged engines make the car more powerful, which is better for frequent high-speed driving, as they accelerate quickly, but are harder to control smoothly. Naturally aspirated engines provide smoother acceleration, with speed increasing gradually, making them easier to control. 3. Advantages: Naturally aspirated engines, with their long history of technical development, are relatively more refined and reliable, with stable quality. They have lower fuel quality requirements compared to turbocharged engines, and their structure and maintenance are simpler. Naturally aspirated engines have advantages in smoothness, durability, stability, and safety over turbocharged engines.
