After replacing the battery, the absence of the start-stop function may be due to insufficient battery charge or excessively high/low external temperatures, which can cause the vehicle's start-stop system to fail. Reasons for the lack of start-stop function: The start-stop function consumes a significant amount of power. If the replaced battery does not support the start-stop function, it will render the system unusable. Additionally, if the battery is not properly matched after replacement, the vehicle's computer may mistakenly recognize it as the old battery, which can also lead to the start-stop function not working. Solutions: Replace the battery with one that supports the start-stop function, ensuring it matches the vehicle's battery model. Re-match the battery, which should be done free of charge.

I recently replaced the battery in my Lavida, but the start-stop function stopped working completely, which is quite frustrating. A friend at the repair shop explained that the start-stop system requires a specialized AGM or EFB battery, as regular batteries can't handle the frequent power demands of start-stop cycles. The battery you installed might be a standard type, causing insufficient voltage during startup or unstable charging, which triggers the system to automatically disable start-stop to protect other components. Additionally, the Lavida's vehicle computer is quite sensitive; after a battery replacement, it needs to relearn or be reprogrammed to recognize the new hardware. Skipping this step is like failing to register a new car—it just won't function. First, check if the battery label says 'AGM.' If not, replace it with a compatible one. If it does, visit a dealership to have a technician reset the system with professional equipment—avoid DIY attempts to prevent damage. Low battery temperature or insufficient charge can also temporarily disable start-stop. Driving a few more kilometers might allow the system to self-adjust, but address the issue promptly to maintain fuel efficiency.

Why is the fuel consumption of Geely Vision X6 so high?

The reasons for the high fuel consumption of Geely Vision X6 are as follows: 1. Poor driving skills: The same car driven by different people will have different fuel consumption. Vehicles that are driven aggressively for a long time have significantly higher fuel consumption. Sudden braking or accelerating can increase fuel consumption by up to half compared to smooth driving. The difference between city roads and highways is also quite noticeable. Experienced drivers can still manage it reasonably. Only by summarizing experience and improving driving skills can the high fuel consumption caused by poor driving techniques be resolved. 2. Low tire pressure: If the car is not inflated for a long time, it will increase the friction between the car and the ground. Greater friction requires more power to move the vehicle, thus increasing fuel consumption. The simplest way to check tire pressure, besides the vehicle's built-in pressure detection device, is to feel the heaviness of the steering wheel. 3. Excessive engine carbon deposits: Carbon deposits caused by the chemical reactions of car fuel are almost unavoidable for all fuel-powered vehicles. If left untreated for a long time, it will not only increase fuel consumption but also degrade engine performance, leading to various issues such as idle shaking, poor acceleration, and excessive exhaust emissions. Adding a cleaning agent to the gasoline can help, but it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for a thorough cleaning. 4. Oxygen sensor failure: Once the oxygen sensor fails, the computer of the electronic fuel injection system will not receive information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, damaging the engine and significantly increasing fuel consumption. The aging of the oxygen sensor is inevitable, so it is recommended to check and replace it at around 80,000 km. 5. Spark plug failure: If the spark plug fails to ignite the fuel effectively, it will lead to incomplete combustion, increasing unnecessary fuel consumption and causing adverse consequences such as carbon deposits. The recommended solution is to go directly to a 4S shop for replacement.

Is it okay to rev up to 4000 RPM for overtaking in a new car?

For a new car within 5000 kilometers, using 4000 RPM for overtaking will definitely harm the vehicle and affect engine break-in. Even for cars with tens of thousands of kilometers, prolonged high-RPM driving should be avoided as it increases fuel consumption. Occasionally revving up to 4000 RPM or higher for a short distance can be beneficial for the engine. Not only does it not increase wear, but it also helps remove carbon deposits and reduce engine carbon buildup, a process known as "running-in at high speed." During high-speed driving, when speeds are typically maintained between 80~100 or even 100~120 km/h, the engine operates in an optimal state. This allows for complete combustion of gasoline, minimizing engine damage and ensuring the engine runs in its best condition. Besides gasoline, other components like lubricants also achieve their optimal operating state.

How many liters of engine oil does a BMW 525 require?

The BMW 525Li requires 6.5 liters of engine oil. Engine oil serves multiple functions including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, friction reduction, rust prevention, and corrosion protection for the engine. Here are some important considerations when changing engine oil: 1. Draining oil while hot: Oil flows better when warm, allowing it to drain more completely from the oil pan. However, be cautious of excessive heat to avoid burns. 2. Maintain proper oil level: The oil quantity should be strictly maintained between the lower and upper marks on the dipstick. 3. Oil change interval: The oil change interval should be determined based on vehicle condition, road conditions, oil quality, and driving habits. 4. Oil quality selection: Choose oil based on driving environment, driving frequency, and the engine's specific requirements. It's better to use higher quality oil than lower. 5. Use of additives: Common engine oil additives include antioxidants, anti-wear agents, detergents, dispersants, foam inhibitors, and anti-corrosion/rust agents. Finished engine oils already contain these components in proper proportions. Unless you're a professional, avoid altering the oil's formulation as it may lead to unpredictable consequences or damage.

What Material is the Backing Paper of Color Change Film?

Automotive color change films are generally made of three materials: PVC, TPU, and Vinyl. Introduction to PVC Material: PVC, also known as polyvinyl chloride, has been extensively researched and tested for use in automotive color change films primarily because its inherent hardness provides protection to the car body. However, this level of protection gradually diminishes over time due to exposure to wind and sunlight, weakening the material's quality. Therefore, even with color change film applied, proper maintenance is still necessary. Introduction to TPU Material: The greatest advantage of TPU material is that it maintains excellent protective performance for the car body even in extremely cold or hot environments, while also causing minimal damage to the film itself. Most color change films made from this material are produced by foreign brands. Introduction to Vinyl Material: Vinyl, also known as ethylene, was first invented and used by the American brand SAQETH, a pioneer in the world's top automotive modification and decoration industry. Vinyl is durable, flexible, and easy to use, offering a wide range of colors and surface finishes. Vinyl films can produce color change products that look as good as or even surpass high-quality paint finishes.

What could be the reason for the engine being noisier than before?

It may be caused by aging engine mounts. After accumulating high mileage, the engine mounts can deteriorate, and replacing them should resolve the issue. Carbon buildup can also lead to increased engine noise. If the engine sounds normal during operation but the noise inside the car feels excessive, it indicates poor sound insulation. In this case, check the vehicle's sealing strips for signs of aging or consider enhancing the sealing to reduce noise. Increased engine noise is a common occurrence in high-mileage vehicles, and while owners need not worry excessively, they should pay closer attention to maintenance. If the engine produces a dull, slapping sound during operation, it could indicate an issue with the cylinder valves. In such cases, if the noise disappears at high speeds, it is likely due to valve problems. Additionally, check the oil pressure to rule out any related issues.

What Causes Engine Power Loss When Accelerating at High Temperatures?

Engine power loss when accelerating at high temperatures can be attributed to the following reasons: Fuel system faults: A clogged or waterlogged air filter reduces air intake, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, incomplete combustion, and poor acceleration. In this case, the exhaust pipe emits heavy black smoke. Cracks in fuel lines or loose/leaking connections, along with insufficient fuel pump pressure, result in poor fuel delivery and affect acceleration performance. Poor atomization or clogging of fuel injectors causes cylinders to misfire or stop working, impacting acceleration. The exhaust pipe may emit black smoke. Fuel quality is another factor. If the fuel contains excessive water, the exhaust pipe will emit white smoke. Electrical faults: Malfunctioning air flow meters reduce air intake, causing the air-fuel mixture to become overly rich or lean, affecting acceleration. Damaged spark plugs in individual cylinders (i.e., cylinder misfire) also impair acceleration. Additionally, issues like leaking ignition wires can contribute. Mechanical faults: Wear and tear of engine valves, cylinder liners, pistons, or piston rings result in insufficient cylinder compression. Excessive intake valve clearance or insufficient exhaust valve clearance can also cause problems.
