The reason for fogging on the outside of car windows is that the temperature of the gas outside the car is higher than that inside the car. Solutions to remove fog from the outside of car windows include: 1. Air conditioning cooling to defog—turn on the air conditioning to blow cold air toward the front windshield and use the dehumidification function to remove fog; 2. Using detergent-type antifogging agents; 3. Applying antifogging spray—spray it on the fogged windshield and wipe it dry with a cloth for immediate clarity; 4. Rain deflectors for defogging—utilize properly designed air deflectors to reduce wind resistance, direct airflow toward the side mirrors, and accelerate the evaporation of water droplets and fog; 5. Using the external air circulation system to defog; 6. Activating the rear window heating to remove fog; 7. Slightly opening the window to allow air convection and reduce temperature differences.

What engine does the Volkswagen Lamando use?

The engine of the Volkswagen Lamando is provided by SAIC Volkswagen and is a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Volkswagen Lamando is EA211-DJR, with a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 131. For daily maintenance of the Volkswagen Lamando's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates out, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Does the Geely Vision clutch have a return spring inside?

Geely Vision clutch does have a return spring inside. Here are the relevant details: 1. Influence of clutch spring stiffness: The greater the stiffness of the clutch spring, the higher the friction coefficient of the friction plate, and the larger the diameter of the clutch, the better the clutch performance. 2. Clutch pedal spring requires regular transmission fluid replacement: As the years of use increase, the elasticity of the pedal spring will diminish. It is recommended to replace the transmission fluid regularly. 3. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the gearbox: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the gearbox, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the gearbox. 3. The clutch can separate or engage the transmission system at any time: During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine with the gearbox, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the gearbox. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmissions, capable of separating or engaging the transmission system at any time.

Is it normal for the fuel gauge and mileage to be inconsistent on the Changan CS75?

It is normal for the fuel level and driving mileage to not match. Here are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. The meaning of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption, abbreviated as fuel usage, refers to the number of liters of fuel consumed by a car when driving a certain distance. 2. Reasons for the inconsistency between fuel level and driving mileage: Because fuel consumption is an instantaneous matter, the estimated mileage is calculated based on the fuel level and vehicle speed, serving only as a reference and cannot be expected to be too accurate. 3. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: During driving, practice anticipatory driving and use economical speeds. On the road, minimize speed fluctuations, gear shifts, sudden accelerations, and sudden decelerations. When decelerating, choose gear deceleration, which not only reduces tire wear but also decreases fuel consumption.

What Causes Vehicle Body Shaking at Low Speeds?

The reasons for vehicle body shaking at low speeds are: 1. Aging engine mounts, causing vibrations to transmit to the steering wheel and cabin; 2. Increased load from turning on electrical systems, leading to engine idle speed drop; 3. Deformed wheel rims, uneven wheel rim weight distribution, and incorrect wheel alignment angles; 4. Dirty throttle body and excessive carbon buildup in fuel injectors. When driving through waterlogged sections, promptly shift to a lower gear and press the accelerator pedal firmly to maintain high engine RPM and torque while passing through, reducing wheel slip risk, preventing water backflow into the exhaust pipe, and ensuring sufficient power to overcome water resistance and underwater obstacles.

What are the reasons for the car's high beam not working?

Car's high beam not working reasons are: 1. Fuse damage; 2. Circuit problems; 3. Bulb damage. The light emitted by the high beam at its focus is parallel, more concentrated, and brighter, capable of illuminating distant and high objects. If the car's lighting system has issues, it is recommended that the owner immediately go for repairs, otherwise it will affect driving safety. High beams should only be used when there is no other light around, such as driving at night on a highway without street lights. In such cases, high beams can be used to expand the field of vision. However, when encountering oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to switch to low beams for safety and courtesy.
