Why is there water leaking from the hole in the exhaust pipe of the Vision X6?

It is normal for the exhaust pipe of the Vision X6 to have a hole leaking water. The reasons are explained below: 1. When gasoline burns in the engine, it produces carbon dioxide and water as the main byproducts. Carbon dioxide is expelled with the exhaust gases, while water vapor condenses into water at the end of the exhaust pipe when the temperature is relatively cool. The small holes in the exhaust pipe muffler are designed to drain this condensed water. Generally speaking, water dripping from the exhaust pipe indicates good combustion conditions in the engine. 2. If water continuously flows from the exhaust pipe, it may be due to weather conditions where the temperature difference between the external environment and the engine is significant enough to cause exhaust gases to liquefy upon cooling, resulting in continuous water leakage.

I just got my Geely Vision X6 a few months ago, and a while back when I was washing the car, I noticed a small hole under the exhaust pipe leaking water. At first, I panicked, thinking it was some major issue! I called a friend who works at a repair shop, and he laughed, saying it's completely normal. When the car's engine runs, it burns gasoline and produces water vapor, which condenses into water in the exhaust pipe as it cools down. There's a small hole specifically designed to drain the water to prevent corrosion from accumulated moisture. As long as the water is clear, colorless, and odorless, there's nothing to worry about. However, it's important to check regularly—especially in summer when the AC is running, as more dripping is common. If the water has an oily residue or strange smell, that could indicate a serious problem, and you should take it to the shop. I make it a habit to glance under the car whenever I stop at a gas station—it’s a simple way to catch issues early. Overall, don’t let this minor thing scare you; the real focus should be enjoying the drive!

Having worked on cars for years, I've seen it all. The leakage from the Geely Vision X6's exhaust pipe is often just the normal drainage function of the exhaust vent. That hole is designed at the end or bend of the exhaust pipe to drain condensation and prevent internal rust. It's especially noticeable after a cold engine start—water dripping from the hole indicates the system is working properly. However, you should carefully check if the hole's position meets factory standards. If it's misaligned or enlarged, it could indicate pipe corrosion or loose welding. Excessive leakage accompanied by a gasoline smell is even more dangerous. I recommend driving to a shop to have the car lifted and the hole inspected. A simple weld repair or part replacement should fix it. Don't ignore it—keeping the exhaust pipe in good condition enhances overall performance. Also, avoid excessively long warm-up times to reduce moisture buildup.

As a new driver, I tend to overreact to minor things. Last time, I got all worked up when I noticed a small hole leaking water from the exhaust pipe of my Geely Vision X6! My friend reassured me that the hole was intentionally designed by the manufacturer to drain water—when the engine heats up, the exhaust contains moisture that condenses inside the pipe and needs to be released. As long as the dripping water is clear and transparent, there’s no major issue. In fact, it drips more frequently during cold winter starts, which is a normal protective feature of the design. The key is to occasionally check the water’s texture by touch to ensure it’s not sticky or has any unusual odor. If the leakage becomes too frequent, it’s wise to schedule a free maintenance check—cost-effective and peace of mind. Over time, these small driving experiences add up, and now, seeing that hole drip actually makes me feel reassured.

What is the usage method of car window lubricant?

The usage method of car window lubricant is: 1. Clean the window rubber thoroughly. If there is severe dirt, it is necessary to first clean it with detergent using a small brush; 2. Lower the window and take out the window lubricant, shake it evenly before use, and insert the nozzle into the spray hole; 3. Insert the nozzle into the window rubber groove and spray evenly up and down, then wipe off any excess lubricant with a towel. The lubricant not only lubricates the window to prevent the aging of the window seal but also solves window noise. It also has a good lubricating effect when sprayed on door hinges, engine cover hinges, electric rearview mirrors, wiper joints, or rusty and noisy home door locks and door/window screws.

How to Remove a Car Side Mirror?

Car side mirrors are used to observe the road conditions behind. When it is necessary to remove a car side mirror, the steps are as follows: 1. Press the head of the mirror with your hand to lift the tail, then grab the tail with your hand and pull it outward forcefully to remove the mirror. 2. After removing the mirror, if it has a heating function for the rearview mirror, disconnect the wire of the heating pad. 3. You will clearly see the screws located at the edge; unscrew them. Unscrew the screws located at the bottom of the rearview mirror. 4. After unscrewing, the middle part of the rearview mirror will have screws fixed underneath; unscrew them. 6. After unscrewing, the middle part can be removed.

Why Should Engine Oil Be Changed?

Engine oil effectively protects the moving parts of an engine. Here is a detailed explanation of why car engine oil needs to be changed: 1. Lubrication: The primary function of engine oil is lubrication. It forms an oil film on the metal surfaces of the engine, reducing wear between metal parts. 2. Cleaning: It breaks down sludge and deposits generated during engine operation, keeping the engine internals clean. 3. Rust prevention: It neutralizes acidic substances produced during engine use and forms a rust and corrosion-resistant layer, preventing metal parts from rusting and corroding due to oxidation. 4. Sealing: It seals the gaps between pistons and cylinders, ensuring complete fuel combustion and improving fuel efficiency. 5. Cooling: It dissipates high temperatures generated by engine wear, protecting various engine components.

What's the reason for the engine not starting?

The following are the fault reasons that cause the engine to fail to start: 1. Gasoline flow blockage, characterized by no oil pressure in the engine fuel supply pipe. This situation mostly occurs on particularly cold mornings and is caused by long-term dirt accumulation in the fuel pipeline. When the temperature is extremely low, water and debris mix to block the fuel pipeline, resulting in the inability to start. 2. Poor working condition of the ignition system. In cold weather, due to the low intake air temperature, the fuel does not atomize well in the cylinder. If combined with insufficient ignition energy, the result will be cylinder flooding, where excessive fuel accumulates in the cylinder, exceeding the ignition limit concentration and preventing the engine from starting. 3. Valve gumming. In winter, using unclean gasoline can cause the non-combustible gum in the gasoline to accumulate near the intake and exhaust valves and the combustion chamber, making it difficult to start on cold mornings or even preventing ignition.
