The following are the main reasons for engine overheating despite sufficient coolant: 1. The impact of hot weather. 2. Overloaded air conditioning operation and faulty cooling components. 3. Malfunctions in the vehicle's cooling system, such as radiator leaks, insufficient coolant, degraded coolant, or blockages in the coolant circulation system. Related information: 1. Symptoms of engine overheating: When white steam suddenly emerges from under the hood while driving, or the temperature gauge needle rapidly rises to the high-temperature "H" mark, it indicates the engine is overheating. 2. Emergency measures for engine overheating: In such cases, immediately find a safe place to stop the vehicle, but do not turn off the engine right away. Allow the engine to idle to continue dissipating heat, and open the hood to enhance cooling speed.

What Causes Uneven Wear on the Left Front Wheel?

Uneven wear on the left front wheel can be caused by issues with wheel alignment, tire ply rating, or tire pressure. Wheel Alignment Issues: After prolonged use of the vehicle, if the driver notices symptoms such as heavy steering, shaking, pulling to one side, misalignment, or failure of the steering wheel to return to center, as well as abnormal tire wear patterns like one-sided wear, scalloped wear, block wear, or uneven wear, or if the vehicle feels floaty, bumpy, or unstable while driving, it's advisable to check the wheel alignment values to see if they deviate significantly and perform repairs promptly. (Typically, a four-wheel alignment check includes four parameters for the front wheels: toe, camber, kingpin inclination, and caster.) Tire Ply Rating Issues: Check whether the purchased tires are of the same model. Tires of the same model may have different ply ratings, such as load-range tires available in 16-ply and 18-ply. If the ply ratings don't match, tires with higher ply ratings may experience accelerated wear. Tire Pressure Issues: This issue is more common with load-bearing tires. When tires are used side by side, if one tire is overinflated, it can lead to crown wear, characterized by higher tread patterns on both sides of the tire and accelerated wear in the middle of the tire crown. Second, insufficient tire pressure can cause the tire to form an arch shape, reducing contact with the ground and accelerating wear on the outer edges of the tire crown. Third, uneven tire pressure between left and right tires can cause the tire with lower pressure to wear more on one side.

Is the Exhaust Pipe of the Lynk & Co 01 Hidden?

The Lynk & Co 01 features a dual-exhaust layout with two exhaust pipes. The white version of the Lynk & Co 01 has hidden exhaust pipes, while the red version has exposed ones. The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly includes the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler. Typically, the three-way catalytic converter, which controls engine pollutant emissions, is also installed in the exhaust system. The exhaust pipe generally consists of a front pipe and a rear pipe. Here are some car exhaust pipe maintenance tips: 1. Waterproofing: When driving in the rain or washing your car, be sure to prevent water from entering the muffler, as this can lead to rust and affect the exhaust pipe's performance. If water accidentally enters the muffler, start the engine immediately to heat it up and expel the accumulated water from the muffler. This is particularly important for exhaust pipe maintenance. 2. Rust prevention: Preventing rust on the car's exhaust pipe isn't just about avoiding water. The best method is to apply anti-rust oil for comprehensive protection. First, remove the muffler and block the drain hole at the bottom. Then, add anti-rust oil to the flange, shake the muffler until the oil evenly coats the inside, and reinstall the muffler. After driving about 20 kilometers, remove the drain hole blockage. Performing this rust prevention maintenance twice a year can significantly reduce the risk of rust. 3. Cleaning: Since the exhaust pipe is often exposed to the outside but is connected to the car's interior, dirt buildup inside can affect its normal function. Improper driving may also allow harmful substances to enter the car, potentially causing more serious issues. Therefore, cleaning the exhaust pipe is an essential part of maintenance.
