If there is a problem with the spark plug, the engine malfunction light will come on. Criteria for judging spark plug damage: Damaged spark plugs may exhibit the following symptoms: difficulty starting, reduced power, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption. Components of a spark plug: A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be used as a reference for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Are Locomotives Considered Motorcycles?

In fact, locomotives are motorcycles; these two terms refer to the same thing, just with different regional names. The scope of motorcycles is very broad, encompassing all two-wheeled motor vehicles we know or don't know, which can be referred to as motorcycles. 'Locomotive' is the term used in Taiwan. Some high-displacement sports bikes are also called heavy locomotives. Actually, there's no need to dwell on these distinctions—just understand that locomotives and motorcycles are the same thing. It's like potatoes and spuds.

Will the center of gravity position of a vehicle change when it is overloaded?

When a vehicle is overloaded, the position of its center of gravity will change. This is because the increased inertia due to overloading causes the vehicle's center of gravity to tilt, making it difficult to control the direction, which is highly dangerous. Overloading alters the load distribution and significantly reduces braking efficiency. In emergency situations, this can easily lead to rollovers, side flips, or delayed braking, resulting in accidents. These incidents can happen in the blink of an eye, so drivers should never take chances. Instead of worrying about vehicle wear and tear, always remember that 'safety comes first.'

What Does the Diesel Heater Fault Code Indicate?

Diesel heater fault code indicates damage in the control circuit. Basic principle of diesel heaters: They directly burn diesel to generate heat. The diesel heater for heating warms air directly by burning diesel to obtain warm air, while the parking preheater heats the coolant after burning diesel to preheat the engine. The two have slightly different structures but share the same general principle. Benefits of installing a diesel heater: After using a car heater, the engine is preheated, which can significantly reduce engine wear. Starting a car at very low temperatures causes considerable damage to the engine, so preheating with a car heater effectively reduces wear.
