The reasons why the car refrigerator is not cooling may include the power socket not being properly connected, voltage below 187 volts, or the refrigerator's low-temperature switch not being turned on. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Check if the power connection is normal: Open the refrigerator door and observe whether the interior light is on, or use a test pen to check. If the power connection is normal, listen to see if the compressor is working. A normally operating compressor will emit a slight vibration and motor sound (if you touch the compressor to feel the vibration, be careful not to get burned, as the compressor temperature can reach 40-50℃ in winter and 80-90℃ in summer). 2. No refrigerant: If the compressor can work, check whether there is refrigerant (commonly known as coolant) in the refrigeration system. Let the refrigerator run for a few minutes, then unplug it and listen carefully for the sound of liquid flowing in the copper pipes. If there is no sound, it means the refrigerant in the system has leaked, or the compressor has lost its working ability.

What kind of engine oil should be used for Changan CS75?

Changan CS75 uses SL grade 5w-30 synthetic engine oil. More information about engine oil is as follows: 1. The engine is the heart of a car, with many metal parts moving and rubbing against each other inside. These components operate at high speeds, in harsh environments, and at high temperatures. 2. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning against shocks. 3. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, granting it new properties, and are an important part of lubricating oil. 4. Different grades of lubricating oil for Changan CS75 must not be mixed. The use of engine oil additives or other engine maintenance products is strictly prohibited, as they may damage the engine under certain circumstances and affect the warranty. Do not use engine oil that does not meet specifications and requirements, as it may lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced power, or even engine damage, affecting the warranty. Replace the engine oil and oil filter according to the cycle or mileage specified in the manual to ensure the best driving experience and engine lifespan.

What are the causes of bearing seizure?

The causes of bearing seizure are: 1. Poor quality of the crankshaft and bearings, with insufficient smoothness of the journal and bearing surfaces. During cold starts, the engine operates under heavy load, preventing the oil from providing adequate lubrication due to its high viscosity at low temperatures, leading to metal fusion and seizure. 2. For vehicles that have undergone major repairs, incorrect installation of main or connecting rod bearings may result in improper clearance adjustment, causing bearing seizure. More details about bearing seizure are as follows: Bearing seizure is one of the most severe engine failures. This phenomenon occurs when severe wear happens between the crankshaft and main or connecting rod bearings due to the absence of an oil film, causing the contact surfaces to reach extreme high temperatures. As a result, the crankshaft journal and bearings sinter and lock together, preventing the engine from rotating.

How to Turn on the Fog Lights in a Polo?

Steps to turn on the fog lights in a Polo: First, turn on the low-beam headlight switch of the Volkswagen Polo, then pull the knob out one notch to activate the front fog lights, and pull it out another notch to activate the rear fog lights. Additional information about fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights are turned on only in foggy conditions. When encountering heavy fog with very low visibility, it is essential to turn on both lights to ensure your vehicle is visible to others. In conditions other than foggy weather with normal visibility, please always turn off the fog lights because their brightness and penetration are very high, which can dazzle other drivers, especially the rear fog lights, which can reduce the warning effect of the rear brake lights. Turning on the rear fog lights in good visibility conditions increases the risk of being rear-ended. 2. In low-visibility conditions such as fog or rain, the front fog lights can assist the headlights, while the rear fog lights alert vehicles behind to the presence of your car. 3. Fog lights are generally used on highways. Additionally, regulations stipulate that vehicles without rear fog lights are not permitted to travel on highways.

How many liters of engine oil are needed for a Cadillac ATS-L oil change?

Cadillac ATS-L generally requires 5 liters of engine oil, but the specific amount should refer to the vehicle model. You can check the specifications in the car's user manual. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves functions such as lubrication, friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. More information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Engine oil is also referred to as the lifeblood of a car. It consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its properties, while additives compensate for the shortcomings in the base oil's performance. 2. Engine oil is categorized into full synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil. During operation, the engine requires oil with appropriate viscosity, certain anti-corrosion properties, and cooling capabilities. The right engine oil can maximize the engine's efficiency and extend the lifespan of the gasoline.

What to Do When the Car Door is Frozen Shut?

When the car lock is frozen, the solutions include: 1. Drive the car to a basement, garage, or other slightly warmer place to park, and the lock will open after a while; 2. Use a lighter to heat the car key, requiring multiple heating sessions, then slowly insert the hot key into the lock to gradually melt the ice inside. However, for keys with chips, avoid overheating them to prevent unnecessary damage; 3. Use a hairdryer to blow hot air directly at the lock cylinder. After continuous blowing for a while, the lock cylinder will thaw. Once the ice melts, immediately clean any water inside the lock cylinder to prevent refreezing; 4. Pour some hot water over the frozen car lock, and the door will thaw shortly. Be sure to clean any water inside the lock cylinder right away to prevent it from freezing again.
