The reasons for no sound from the reversing radar on the Mercedes-Benz C260L are as follows: Obstacles that are too low: Generally, obstacles that are 10-15cm below the center of the probe may be ignored by the probe. Moreover, the closer the obstacle is to the parking space, the lower this height value becomes, increasing the danger. Obstacles that are too thin: Since the sound wave signals emitted by the radar probe are relatively narrow, there is a significant blind spot when detecting very thin obstacles. Items such as road barriers used to block vehicles or the diagonal steel cables on utility poles can be hazardous. Ditches and bumps: The radar is designed to detect obstacles. If there is a ditch or bump behind the car, the radar will definitely not respond.

Where is the fuel pump located in the Passat B5?

The oil pump is located inside the engine. You need to remove the right side cover of the engine, and it is positioned at the lower front part of the engine. Definition of the oil pump: The oil pump is a lightweight and compact pump, which can be categorized into three types: in-line, distributor, and unit pumps. The oil pump requires a power source to operate, and the camshaft at the bottom is driven by the engine crankshaft gear. Causes of oil pump module failure: Poor quality gasoline containing impurities or foreign objects can cause these impurities to enter the internal bearings of the fuel pump, accelerating bearing wear and leading to fuel pump failure. Long-term failure to replace the gasoline filter or a clogged gasoline filter can cause the fuel pump to operate under high load for extended periods, resulting in fuel pump damage.

How much horsepower does the Geely Boyue 1.8T engine have?

Geely Boyue 1.8T engine has a maximum horsepower of 184. This data is officially announced. Introduction to automobile horsepower: Horsepower is a commonly used unit of power in engineering technology, proposed by James Watt. 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 735 watts. Categories of automobile horsepower: Horsepower is divided into metric horsepower and imperial horsepower. Generally, it refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. 1 horsepower equals the work done in 1 second to lift 75 kilograms of force by 1 meter, also equal to 0.735 kilowatts, or known as metric horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds per second, equal to 76 kilogram-force meters per second, or 0.746 kilowatts. In China's legal measurement units, the unit of power is the watt.

What does it mean when the ABS yellow light on the dashboard stays on?

When the car displays an ABS warning, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, which poses significant safety risks. There are several states in which the ABS light may illuminate, each with different causes and solutions as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on continuously (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections between system wires or poor contact in the ABS relay can lead to signal issues and system failure. Solution: Inspect wire connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical components are in use, the battery voltage may drop below 10.5V. As engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. This can also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low due to poor wire contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connections in the ABS hydraulic valve body; or ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screw on the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary. Check if the connector gaps have widened. Replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer if needed. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals. This may also occur if the tire or wheel rim specifications are incorrect. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, typically found on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and use a finger to push the brake switch linkage fully downward, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position. Replace the brake light switch if necessary.

Does the Nissan Sylphy have an anti-glare rearview mirror?

Nissan Sylphy has an anti-glare rearview mirror. However, the left and right rearview mirrors of the Sylphy do not have the anti-glare function, only the central rearview mirror is anti-glare. Composition of the anti-glare rearview mirror: The anti-glare rearview mirror consists of a special mirror, two photodiodes, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller receives signals from the photodiodes for front and rear light emissions, and it is installed below the front windshield of the vehicle. It can be divided into manual anti-glare rearview mirrors and automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors. Principle of the anti-glare rearview mirror: Generally installed inside the vehicle, it consists of a special mirror, two photodiodes, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller receives signals from the photodiodes for front and rear light emissions. If the light shines on the interior rearview mirror, and the light from the rear is stronger than that from the front, the electronic controller will output a voltage to the conductive layer. This voltage changes the color of the electrochromic layer on the mirror. The higher the voltage, the darker the color of the electrochromic layer. At this time, even if strong light shines on the rearview mirror, the light reflected to the driver's eyes by the anti-glare interior rearview mirror will appear dim and not dazzling. The electrochromic layer on the mirror adjusts the reflection intensity automatically and continuously based on the intensity of the incoming light from the rear to prevent glare. When the vehicle is reversing, the anti-glare function of the interior rearview mirror is deactivated, and the right exterior rearview mirror automatically illuminates the ground.

What type of gasoline should be used for the GAC Trumpchi GA6?

For normal use, the GAC Trumpchi GA6 can be fueled with 93-octane gasoline, although using 97-octane gasoline would be better. Gasoline octane ratings: Currently, gasoline available in the market comes in octane ratings such as 90, 93, 95, and 97. These numbers represent the octane rating of the gasoline, indicating its anti-knock properties, and are unrelated to the cleanliness of the gasoline. The notion that "higher-octane gasoline is cleaner" is entirely misleading. It is more scientific and economical to fuel your car according to the engine's compression ratio or the requirements specified in the vehicle's manual, as this allows the engine to perform at its best efficiency. Choosing the right octane rating: During the design phase of a car engine, the required fuel octane rating is determined based on the compression ratio. The compression ratio is a crucial structural parameter of an engine, representing the ratio of the volume of gas when the piston is at the bottom dead center (start of compression) to the volume when the piston is at the top dead center (end of compression). From the perspectives of power and fuel economy, a higher compression ratio is generally better. A higher compression ratio improves power output, thermal efficiency, and consequently enhances vehicle acceleration, top speed, and other performance metrics.
