Winter car warm-up is essential for engine maintenance. Due to the cold weather, the engine requires a warm-up period to gradually return to its optimal operating temperature, ensuring long-term durability. The normal operating temperature of a car engine typically ranges between 80°C and 90°C, with some high-performance engines reaching up to 100°C. After being parked overnight, the engine temperature drops to match the ambient temperature. The process of raising the engine temperature from ambient to its normal operating range is referred to as the cold start phase, which is precisely what 'warming up the car' entails.

How to Solve the Vibration Issue of Three-Cylinder Engines?

Three-cylinder engine vibration can only be mitigated through technical means and cannot be completely eliminated. Due to the inherent structural differences between three-cylinder and four-cylinder engines, three-cylinder engines naturally exhibit vibration issues, which is not a design flaw. If noticeable vibration occurs during use, it is recommended that owners inspect the air filter. The air filter is primarily installed to protect the engine and typically requires replacement after approximately 10,000 kilometers of use. Failure to replace it in a timely manner can result in insufficient engine air intake, leading to severe engine vibration. In such cases, simply replacing the air filter can resolve the issue.

What is the purpose of a gasoline filter?

Gasoline filter primarily functions to filter impurities from the fuel, supplying clean gasoline to the engine. If the fuel filtration is poor, debris in the gasoline can easily clog the tiny passages in the carburetor, leading to poor carburetor performance and a leaner combustible mixture. The gasoline filter, abbreviated as fuel filter, is known as Fuel Filter in English. As a crucial component of the engine, its main role is to remove impurities from the gasoline. Generally, the gasoline filter should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers. Being a consumable part, timely replacement is necessary. Symptoms indicating the need for replacement include slow acceleration when pressing the gas pedal and requiring multiple attempts to start the engine, suggesting it might be time to replace the gasoline filter.
