Here are the reasons why the Santana's air conditioning is relatively noisy: 1. Air conditioning pump: Abnormal wear of the air conditioning pump causes noise. 2. Air conditioning belt: The air conditioning belt is loose or the tensioner pulley has insufficient tension. 3. Blower: Leaves have entered the interior of the air conditioning blower. 4. Malfunction: The blower is malfunctioning, causing the noise. Here are the solutions for a car air conditioning that is very noisy: 1. Replace the air conditioning pump: If the air conditioning pump is abnormally worn and causing noise, the repair involves replacing the air conditioning pump at a 4S shop. 2. Replace the air conditioning belt: If the air conditioning belt is loose or the tensioner pulley has insufficient tension, causing noise when the air conditioning is on, the repair involves replacing the belt and the tensioner pulley. 3. Repair the blower: If leaves or other debris have entered the air conditioning blower, the diagnostic method is to adjust the air conditioning airflow and observe if the noise changes. If there is a change, it indicates that leaves or other foreign objects have entered the blower. The repair method involves removing the air filter and cleaning the blower.

Does It Consume Fuel Without Pressing the Accelerator?

It does consume fuel even without pressing the accelerator. To keep the engine running, a certain amount of fuel must be consumed; otherwise, the car will stall. For example, when the car is idling in neutral, the engine maintains idle rotation, and in this case, the system still requires a small amount of fuel injection. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the fuel injection process is continuous. Here are some driving tips: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: Always use turn signals and slow down when turning or changing lanes. Before turning, make sure to check the rearview mirrors. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror; for right turns, primarily check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, also check the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don’t focus only on the front of the car: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters, avoiding fixation on the immediate front of the car. 3. Press the clutch: Generally, when decelerating above 40 km/h, there’s no need to press the clutch immediately; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before pressing the clutch. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.

Will Electric Vehicles Get Water Inside on Rainy Days?

When it rains heavily, there is a lot of water around the charging port, posing a risk of water entering the charging port. Below are some signs of faults in electric vehicles after being exposed to rain: 1. Unusual sounds: After turning on the electric vehicle's key, the horn may continuously sound, or the automatic alarm may keep beeping. Additionally, there may be internal rattling noises while driving. These issues could be caused by the electric vehicle getting wet in the rain. If this happens, avoid further exposure to rain and instead place the vehicle in the sun or a well-ventilated, dry area to let the water evaporate. 2. Automatic movement: After being exposed to rain, some electric vehicles may start moving automatically as soon as the key is turned on, or they may intermittently move forward and stop while driving. This is due to water causing power system malfunctions. In such cases, it's best to stop riding immediately and leave the vehicle in a dry place to see if it returns to normal after drying. If not, take it to a repair shop. 3. Battery exposure to rain: Depending on the type of electric vehicle, the battery's location varies—some are protected under the seat, while others are exposed externally. If an external battery gets wet, it may lead to water ingress or even short-circuiting, significantly reducing the battery's lifespan. Therefore, if you can't park the electric vehicle indoors during rain, make sure to cover key parts like the battery and the front of the vehicle for protection.

Does a car in its ninth year require an annual inspection?

A car in its ninth year does not require an annual inspection. Below are the relevant details: 1. Inspection schedule: According to national regulations, for non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) older than 6 years but less than 10 years, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, they must be inspected every 6 months. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; and after 15 years, every 6 months. 2. Inspection requirements: The inspection checks whether the vehicle's emissions meet standards and whether the driver has any traffic violation records during the period. Therefore, any traffic violations must be resolved before the inspection; otherwise, the vehicle will not pass. Additionally, the inspection includes checking for damaged lights, whether the vehicle's exterior matches its original condition, any changes to the suspension, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc. Excessive modifications to the vehicle should be avoided, as they may also prevent the vehicle from passing the inspection.
