The upper radiator hose may collapse due to insufficient water in the radiator or a blockage in the radiator. Below are the specific reasons: Reasons for the collapse of car radiator hoses: The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, functions to dissipate heat by absorbing heat from the engine block and preventing the engine from overheating. Since water has a relatively high specific heat capacity, if the radiator malfunctions and heat cannot dissipate, the water temperature will rise rapidly, causing the upper radiator hose to collapse and leading to car issues. If this occurs, promptly visit a repair shop to inspect the cooling system, as the consequences can be severe. Temperature control in car engine blocks: During operation, the car engine generates heat, necessitating the use of water for cooling. There are numerous small passages in the cylinder block, and the radiator's role is to store backup water. When the water in the engine block reaches a certain temperature, the thermostat automatically activates the pump to circulate the backup water into the cylinder. At this point, the pipeline must deliver the backup water to the engine block, and the engine block's pipe then transfers it back to the radiator.

What are the reasons why the Geely Boyue trunk does not respond to the remote control?

Geely Boyue trunk does not respond to the remote control for the following reasons: Remote control battery dead: This is something that people usually don't pay attention to, and it's also easy to deal with later. Just open it up and replace the battery. Remote control malfunction: It is very likely that the remote lock is malfunctioning, or factors such as aging of the car's remote transmitter antenna, which is also easy to detect, and then you can lock it with a mechanical key. Magnetic field interference: Some areas may have strong magnetic signal interference, and the remote key itself uses low-intensity radio waves, so it cannot work properly under magnetic interference.

What is the fuel consumption of the SsangYong Actyon 2.3 gasoline version in liters?

SsangYong Actyon 2.3 gasoline version fuel consumption is 18L. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling a hundred kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speed conditions to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption is a fuel indicator calculated by repeatedly testing the values measured when a vehicle travels on specified roads at prescribed speeds and times, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the specifications, each cycle includes various driving conditions, and records driving conditions according to various indicators such as specified shift times, parking times, driving speeds, acceleration, braking, and deceleration in each cycle. The values measured by this method are closer to the actual values.

How many liters of transmission fluid are needed for a Geely Boyue transmission fluid change?

Geely Boyue requires 5.5 liters of transmission fluid for a single change. Signs that indicate the need for a transmission fluid change include: vehicle shaking, gear shifting hesitation; transmission overheating warning on the dashboard; engine stalling; and unusual noises. Different vehicle models have different change intervals. Below are the recommended change intervals for transmission fluid: Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The method for changing the transmission fluid in a Geely Boyue is as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine can dynamically change the fluid, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.

What are the reasons for the gear not engaging in Geely cars?

Geely car gear not engaging reasons are as follows: Solenoid valve damage: Caused by the solenoid valve, there is a small valve core inside the solenoid valve that works by current, similar to the working valve in the valve body. This leads to unstable oil pressure regulation and uneven switching. Mechanical failure: Mechanical failure caused by internal wear of the transmission. Brake clutch: Slippage caused by brake clutch pressure leakage, and abnormal data reading caused by the sensor. ECU failure: Sensor and ECU issues can cause the transmission to lock the gear. Restarting the ignition will make the car's computer re-detect the transmission data, and it will be fine after restarting.
