Nissan Sylphy makes a squeaking noise when the air conditioning is turned on because the air conditioning pulley and the belt slip, and during the slipping process, a sharp friction sound is produced. Check if there is oil contamination on the belt. Specific details are as follows: 1. Oil contamination: If the belt slips due to oil contamination, clean it thoroughly. If not, adjust the compressor's position bolts to tighten the compressor belt, which can increase friction. 2. Belt looseness: If the belt is loose and causes abnormal noise, you can press the belt's tension by hand. If it's too loose, tighten it. If the belt has been used for too long, it needs to be replaced. 3. Tensioner damage: If the belt's tensioner is damaged, it can also cause abnormal noise, and a new tensioner needs to be replaced.

Will Vehicle Modifications Affect the Warranty?

Modifications can affect the warranty, so it's advisable to wait until the warranty period is over before making any changes. Below are some considerations for vehicle modifications: Choose Parts Wisely: Don't assume that more expensive parts are always better. Select parts based on the actual condition and needs of your vehicle. Avoid Excessive Soundproofing: Don't overemphasize soundproofing. If the driver cannot hear sounds from the road or the powertrain, it may hinder the ability to assess road and vehicle conditions, compromising driving safety. Avoid Overly Emphasizing Visual Effects: Don't pursue visual effects at all costs. Installing large-diameter exhaust pipes or adding spoilers for appearance may have little practical benefit for small-displacement vehicles and could pose significant risks to both the vehicle and its occupants.

How Often Should Windshield Washer Fluid Be Added to a New Car?

New car windshield washer fluid usage duration primarily depends on frequency of use. Simply refill when depleted, as there is no fixed refill cycle. Below are the specific functions of windshield washer fluid: Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with multiple surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically feature wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing properties, thereby achieving cleaning and stain removal effects. Antifreeze Performance: Significantly lowers the liquid's freezing point to prevent freezing, enabling rapid dissolution of frost. Anti-Fog Performance: Forms a monomolecular protective layer on the glass surface. This protective film prevents fog droplet formation, ensuring windshield clarity and unobstructed visibility. Lubrication Performance: Higher viscosity provides lubrication, reducing friction between wipers and glass to prevent scratches.

What is the recommended speed for running in a new car?

It is generally recommended to keep the speed below 80 during the break-in period. Here are some precautions regarding the break-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during break-in but also increases the load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full capacity during the break-in period can cause damage to the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. High-speed driving: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can lead to component wear. It is recommended to maintain a speed of 120 km/h with the engine speed not exceeding 3,000 RPM. If the speed exceeds 3,000 RPM, consider reducing the speed to keep it within 3,000 RPM. During long-distance driving, take breaks at service areas for about ten minutes.

Can You Drive a Sedan for a Self-Driving Tour in Xinjiang?

Can You Drive a Sedan for a Self-Driving Tour in Xinjiang? The answer is yes. Here are some precautions for self-driving tours: Maintain a Good Driving Condition: Long-distance drivers must maintain good physical and mental conditions and ensure adequate sleep before driving. Wear Seat Belts: Not only the driver and front-seat passengers but also rear-seat passengers need to fasten their seat belts. If there are children under the age of twelve in the family, it is recommended to purchase child safety seats produced by reputable manufacturers. Driving in Rainy or Snowy Weather: Turn on the fog lights and width lights. Drive slowly, avoid overtaking casually in severe weather, gently press the accelerator and brake, and steer slowly. When overtaking, use the horn and headlights to signal, and only overtake after the vehicle in front gives way. Be extra cautious and slow down when driving in dark and damp areas such as under overpasses and at tunnel entrances, as these areas are prone to icing.

Why Does the Chassis Make Noise on Rough Roads?

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noises from the vehicle chassis: 1. Abnormal noises caused by looseness or deformation of chassis components. 2. Abnormal noises related to tire tread noise. Various transmission devices, connecting parts, and front/rear wheel bearings could all potentially produce sounds. Below is a detailed explanation of the causes of abnormal noises from the vehicle chassis: 1. When driving on bumpy roads, if a clunking sound is heard, it indicates loose suspension components. It's necessary to inspect the tie rod ball joints, lower arm ball joints, stabilizer bar ball joints and bushings, shock absorbers, pressure bearings, and the steering gear. Looseness in any of these areas can cause such noises. 2. During installation, replacement, maintenance, or routine servicing, human errors such as improperly tightened screws, component interference, incorrect positioning, reverse installation, or other oversights and carelessness can lead to abnormal noises from components. Some critical safety component noises, such as those from the braking system, could be due to worn brake pads reaching their limit and directly grinding against the disc, or power steering system noises caused by insufficient lubrication in the chassis.
