The reasons for loud engine noise in the Buick New Excelle: 1. After a period of use, the effectiveness of the engine oil gradually declines, and the increase in noise at this time is a normal phenomenon; 2. If the engine oil is unsuitable, it can also lead to loud engine noise. The Buick Excelle is another masterpiece launched by the Buick brand, following the new Regal, new LaCrosse, and Enclave, based on the "global platform, European and American technology." It incorporates the dynamic genes that the Buick brand has endowed to mid-size cars, bringing a brand-new five-door coupe driving experience to the mid-size car market. The launch of the Buick Excelle fills the product gap between the new Excelle and the new Regal in the Buick brand lineup, further strengthening and perfecting the Buick brand's product range.

I think the issue of loud engine noise in the Buick New Excelle is quite common. As someone who frequently researches cars, I can share some insights. Increased engine noise is often caused by problems with several key components, such as a loose or worn belt creating friction sounds; old engine oil not being changed in time, leading to insufficient lubrication and increased friction; or a clogged intake system, like a dirty air filter, or carbon buildup on the fuel injectors affecting combustion efficiency, which can amplify the noise. Some car owners neglect routine maintenance, and over time, this leads to such issues. I recommend first checking the belt tension and seeing if the engine oil color is cloudy—if necessary, replace the filter. Regular maintenance can effectively prevent noise. If the noise suddenly becomes louder, don’t delay—take it to a professional shop immediately. Safety comes first.

As a long-time Buick owner with over a decade of experience, my new Excelle also encountered engine noise issues before. The sound seemed significantly louder than when the car was new, and upon careful consideration, I realized it was related to driving habits. For instance, frequent start-stop cycles in city traffic jams put greater load on the engine, accelerating component wear; occasionally using substandard gasoline could also lead to incomplete combustion, causing abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe. The lesson I learned is to consistently use the appropriate grade of engine oil and inspect belts and connectors every three months. Now the car runs much quieter. Noise may escape through damaged soundproofing materials, so check if the seals near the hood are loose. Developing a habit of regular maintenance can save a lot on repair costs.

After driving for so many years, increased engine noise is indeed annoying. From my own experience, louder sounds often stem from simple issues: squeaking due to aging belts, insufficient or dirty oil reducing lubrication, or loose exhaust pipes causing resonance. The checks are straightforward: start the car and listen for unusual noises, check if the oil dipstick level is normal, and inspect the belts for cracks. If problems arise right after maintenance, it might be due to unsuitable oil or incorrectly installed filters. I recommend starting with these basic checks—they don’t take much time. If that doesn’t help, then visit a shop to diagnose the ignition system or sensors with specialized equipment.

What Causes the Fuel Gauge Needle to Stop Moving?

The reason the fuel gauge needle doesn't move is due to a faulty fuel level sender (fuel float). Methods to check the fuel gauge include: 1. When the illuminated bars reach the 'F' position, it indicates the tank is full; 2. The closer the illuminated bars are to the 'E' position, the less fuel remains, signaling the need for timely refueling. The fuel gauge serves to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the vehicle's fuel tank, with its low fuel warning light functioning to alert the driver immediately when the fuel level falls below a specified threshold. Reasons for inaccurate fuel gauge readings include: 1. Poor contact or severe wear of the fuel level sensor's sliding resistor; 2. Abnormal instrument circuit or loose/aged electrical components; 3. Deformed fuel tank or abnormal bracket; 4. Loose connections or open circuits within the engine control module; 5. Loose grounding wires for the vehicle's fuel level sensor or fuel pump wiring harness.

Can I drive on the highway without an ETC?

You can drive on the highway without an ETC. Because ETC is not mandatory. Since January 1, 2020, vehicles without ETC will no longer enjoy various toll reduction policies except during holidays. When passing through toll stations, they can only use manual lanes to pay tolls. It might be inconvenient during holidays. ETC is just a different toll collection method and has nothing to do with whether you can drive on the highway. There are two toll collection methods on highways: manual toll collection and ETC toll collection. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If it's not the owner who applies, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed. The applicant should be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle should be under a personal name. The working principle of ETC: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles accounts with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: avoid the trouble of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through toll stations without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Save wear and tear: save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and reduce wear and fuel consumption; Improve efficiency: the passing efficiency of ETC lanes can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared with license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What is the battery model for a Land Rover car key?

Land Rover key battery model is CR2032. CR2032 is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. Among them: C - indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R - indicates that the battery is cylindrical in shape, with F used for square batteries; 20 - indicates the battery diameter is 20mm; 32 - represents the battery height is 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity varies between 200-240mAh depending on the manufacturer's quality. The shelf life of CR2032 is typically 5 years. However, if the manufacturing level is low or quality control is poor, the lifespan can be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can generally guarantee this lifespan. Under ideal usage conditions (sealed, room temperature, no moisture interference, etc.), the lifespan can be extended further to 8 years or even 10 years. Generally, replacing a car key battery only requires the following three steps: Step 1: Remove the mechanical key. Press the lock button on the side of the smart key to remove the mechanical key. Step 2: Open the battery cover. After removing the mechanical key, you can see a deep slot and a shallow slot at the top of the smart key. The deep slot is the keyhole, while the shallow slot is used to open the battery cover. Insert the mechanical key into the shallow slot and pry it open to reveal the coin battery. Gently remove the battery. Step 3: Replace the new battery. Install the new battery, reattach the battery cover and the mechanical key, and the key battery replacement is complete.

What is the difference between China 6 and China 5 fuel?

The differences between China 5 and China 6 emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: China 6 emission standards are more than 30% stricter than China 5. Excluding the influence of working conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth stage of the national motor vehicle emission standard. China 6 was implemented starting from July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China 5 phase, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards, but China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning that regardless of the fuel type, the emission limits are the same. Different issuing departments: The China 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The China 6 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China 5 is represented by 'V,' while China 6 is represented by 'VI.' Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China 5, China 6 has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulatory aspects. China 5 standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China 6 has two standards: China 6a and China 6b, as follows: China 6a standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China 6b standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 milligrams of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. Affected by the China 6 emission policy, although China 5 vehicles are not currently restricted from normal use, such as travel or license plate restrictions, their resale value will be significantly impacted. For truck owners, if they purchase a truck on loan for freight transport, the depreciation of the vehicle after repaying the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China 6 vehicles, with longer service life and more road rights, have greater advantages.
