Self driving back should take good care of the car

In this holiday season you have to travel by car, at the end of this holiday to wash the car to greet the new year work didn't hurt. For these days of travel speed running friends, to wash the car is very important, those remaining in the paint on the insect bodies and the soil corrosion paint, should be removed as soon as possible. For those who do not have to go out only occasionally Festival, relatives and even cars parked in residential didn't move friend, need to pay special attention to body have no fireworks and firecrackers, wounded, or fireworks residues attached to the body condition, avoid corrosion paint.

Self driving travel friend, except for high speed tire high strength work, some go to the suburbs, rural road is not too good place friend to check the tire situation. Visually inspect the wear and aging, with tire pressure table to check the tire pressure, can also hands around the tire tread was check whether the bar. During the long car rate may increase, car strength increases, brake pads wear note. After the long vacation should pay attention to the brake condition, replace if necessary.

Especially for self driving tour travel friend, may be due to via, climate variability, glass water consumption will be much larger than the daily city car. If the original glass water quantity is not enough, there may cause a deficit, so in a timely manner to check and fill, at present this season we suggest adding antifreeze glass of water is appropriate.

Experienced a winter, alternating hot and cold, and multiple corrosion rain and snowmelt agent, health status of the wiper blade is not a holiday, so the return should check wiper health, replace if necessary. Is very simple for oil stock check, if the oil is low will cause damage to the engine, so we recommend regular attention. Although in general, not because of the frequent car some day holiday loss oil stock, but still suggest to come back later or check the stock, avoid risks. Of course, oil stock check that everyone knows, pull out the dipstick, if the oil stock is less than the minimum scale line should be added.

For those who have been to the suburbs or some poor road conditions of local friends, check the chassis is very important. If during the mounting conditions, is likely to hurt the chassis even there is oil, it requires special attention. For those passing through the colder or warmer area, or a way through rain and snow and other inclement weather friend, return to check your lights can work normally, there is no fog phenomenon in the shade, if found problems should be timely treatment.

After rain season, the long drive through friends and more, experience all kinds of weather and climate, so air conditioning filter conditions need to be concerned. If there is air conditioning have peculiar smell, it shall timely check the air filter cleaning degree, replace if necessary, to ensure our health. For long car of a friend, the car must not less pull pull goods, many car the original location of items have been changed. Long after the end of the check in time travel, insurance, fire extinguisher, the triangle is still, and put it back into his customary position.

Quota details of Tianjin's car-buying restrictions released

The northern China municipality of Tianjin will issue a total of 100,000 car license plates via a bidding and lottery system each year, and there will be no quota for government organizations and institutions, the municipality announced over the weekend.

According to the management plan, 60 percent, or 60,000 plates, will be issued via lottery, including 10,000 for fuel-efficient cars and 50,000 for conventional cars. The remaining 40,000 plates for conventional cars will be auctioned.

A total of 88 percent of plates will go to individual car owners, while non-individual applicants, such as companies, will compete for the other 12 percent. No government organizations and institutions in Tianjin will be permitted to apply for new plates.

The Tianjin municipal government announced at 7 p.m. on the evening of Dec. 15 that the city would impose a quota on its new car license plates, requiring residents to obtain a plate either through auction bidding or lotteries.

The policy, part of the city's efforts to battle congestion and air pollution, took effect just five hours after its announcement, which sparked overnight panic buying in the local car market.

Tianjin has a permanent resident population of over 14 million. Travel speed in downtown areas has slowed 18 percent compared with 2000 levels.

To know more about car luggage rack

Because of the luggage rack interface of each of the models is not uniform, and the car luggage rack of the brand is numerous, installation way is different, but the principle of roughly the same. First, we will first introduce the luggage rack longitudinal rail type original own. Separation type longitudinal rail is one of the species is very common, the longitudinal rail structure is the most and the roof separation, only the connecting several fixed points and the roof. The longitudinal rail mounted rack is very convenient, if you do not want to install luggage rack luggage, also can be fixed simply by rope and net.

The integration of the track is also more common, the longitudinal rail is attached on the roof, advantage is with luggage racks after height than the separated longitudinal rail with luggage racks to lower. T groove longitudinal rail is not a lot to see, the Touareg, Maverick is used T type groove longitudinal rail. Longitudinal track such not install luggage rack does not affect the overall appearance of the vehicle, if you need to install the luggage rack is also very convenient, and the installation height of the lower rack than the above two longitudinal rail. Most cars in the factory and no luggage rack longitudinal rail, but please owners don't try to hard, some auto makers to take into account the needs of owners, in vehicle design for the installation of the luggage rack interface, which can also be added with the luggage rack is very convenient.

If your car without reservation interface, also please do not worry, now a lot of luggage manufacturers also consider this part of the demand for this type of car models, designed the luggage rack specialized fastening, convenient owners installed luggage rack. Introduced the luggage rack longitudinal rail, we began to introduce how to install. Currently on the market for automobile luggage rack during installation, need to choose according to the longitudinal track different to different buckling, we have the following in accordance with the longitudinal rail, to introduce how to choose suitable for their own, luggage rack car.

Separation type longitudinal rail longitudinal rail is the most common, with luggage racks is also very convenient, installation rack, need to adjust front and rear luggage rack of the distance, and then through the buckle is fixed on the longitudinal track on it. In separate longitudinal rail mounting rack is relatively simple, only need to measure the distance before and after, to prepare for future installation of the bicycle frame or the luggage ready, put the luggage rack according to the manual method is fixed on the longitudinal track on it. Here to remind you, luggage rack, some brands of no anti-theft measures, this requires the owner pay attention to the choice of parking location, choose as far as possible in the guarded parking lot or garage, not just in order to prevent the loss of luggage rack, also can prevent the vehicle within the vehicle itself lost or hurt.

Integrated longitudinal rail mounting rack and separation type longitudinal rail is similar, are used to tighten the bolts to buckle is fixed on the longitudinal track, but due to different longitudinal rail structure, structure buckle has difference. Integrated longitudinal rail in the installation rack without separating the track so conveniently, the reason is not observed longitudinal rail inner buckle is stuck, have an assistant to help install personnel to observe.

Which parts of the car should be examined carefully?

Why the preferred lamp for the maintenance object? Because the summer and turn, driving the biggest problem is the fog, and this year nationwide precipitation, air humidity is big, so the fog weather will be more frequent. Fog lamp irradiation distance and brightness to have more stringent requirements, so we have to carefully check the brightness of the lights, if it is found that the lamp aging, brightness is not enough, we should be promptly replaced the upgrade, to their own car to put on a pair of bright eyes "". In the light of the selection of consumer needs to notice, the quality is directly related to the safety of night driving, so the best choice for OEM car brand, for example, OSRAM, Philips etc..
http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4047/4672020632_3b263829a7.jpg
Autumn is most felt in addition to the temperature outside is the light changes. Increasingly short, the night long, and morning and evening this dark time more early, duration from school to work and rush hour traffic, road lamps were not open, so this time is the darkest time for road. Relevant experts OSRAM lamp also remind everybody, autumn evening and early morning to early on, in order to avoid the danger caused by insufficient light.

In summer due to high temperatures, is enough to prevent temperature too high a vehicle tire pressure is generally not sufficient. In the fall, as the temperature drops, it is necessary to add the tire pressure, tire pressure is insufficient to prevent. At the same time, also should check the tire whether there are scratches, because the rubber in severe temperature changes is easy to harden and become more brittle, so tire leak, or even burst. For tire in addition to check the appearance of any damage, but also to check the tires and even some of the details on the wheel hub, such as air door, because here the cracks will appear slow puncture the tires.

The summer of vehicles in the heavy rain splashed, makes a lot of sediment air conditioning condenser by, in the course of time will make the condenser corroded, and constantly rainwater will also have adverse effects on the warm air pipe and fan. Therefore, after entering the fall should be the first time for the air conditioning to do a thorough maintenance. In addition, in this season, we should pay special attention to cream outlet wind is normal except under the windshield, the heating effect is normal. Because the autumn day and night temperature changes, the morning drive, will always glaucous generation window, if the equipment defrosting unfavorable will give driving will bring unnecessary danger.

Check the plug part of ignition system, to see whether the rust. Once a rusty, you use the professional cleaning agent. Check the engine room engine oil, brake fluid and antifreeze, see oil is sufficient, whether the metamorphism, whether to change cycle. The problem is found must be replaced, in order to ensure the smooth oil circulation. Check the vehicle braking effect is not weak, there is no deviation when braking, the brake pedal pedaling force is changing, the best line carefully the whole braking system. Check the battery external wiring, if found to have green rust, application of hot water to clean, to avoid the battery power supply shortage. And more, you can find car tools like launch creader and mb star which may help you do good.

We should how to use the car properly when we meet heavily rain

We must first understand their own car will appear short engine wading or line under what circumstances the problem. First find the engine inlet and measure its height, under normal circumstances, wading in running engine water inlet accident, mostly to the. Secondly, find a can be directly observed markers, used as the vehicle can safely through the depth of the reference wading area. The chassis is higher (GAP) can also make your vehicle has better fording ability.
http://photo.yupoo.com/sinaweibo1586757232/De4LJxgW/medish.jpg
Such as the water depth of more than 2/3 wheels are more than the safe range, may influent the car. Water more than the front bumper or close to the net before the position, it will directly lead to engine inlet, damaged vehicles. If the vehicle is put out in the deep water, the exhaust pipe of water intrusion into the engine could be seriously damaged vehicles.

If the vehicle stalled due to wading result, no matter how shallow the water is not re-start the engine, so to avoid more serious engine damage occurs. Should car as soon as possible or let the other car pulled out puddles. Measure the height of the exhaust pipe, in fact, as long as the vehicle traveling at a slow, even if the exhaust pipe is not submerged in water influent from here, because a lot of gas from the exhaust pipe is much higher discharge pressure the pressure (in the case of water is not very deep), which also prevents water intrusion engines.

In through the water surface, many owners think high speed can be blunt past, the results of their own on that, due to the high speed through the formation of water wall in front, so that the water accumulation, not intake cause stalling. And the formation of the wave will make the car or the oncoming car is also facing the same risk, this is a very make one's hair stand on end behavior not only to their own vehicles damaged, but also to the next to truly understand how the owners brought loss.

The correct method is, to ensure that the vehicle at low speeds, and at any time according to the water depth, manual transmission models should try to use the 1 block, stabilize the throttle smoothly through, automatic should also try to hang into the low gear or snow mode force, torque and increases the vehicle to prevent tire slippage, avoid strenuous running action and halfway flameout. After the water should be continuous braking several times, rapid evaporation of moisture to ensure the brake disc, brake performance of vehicle.

Now the vehicle is composed of a large number of electronic equipment from the pool, non professional off-road vehicle, rarely on the electronic equipment on board waterproofing corresponding, even many of our familiar city SUV, electronic basic and common car identical line the car, no water treatment. After Wade, related electronic module engine easy to short circuit, vehicle control computer as the car's brain is generally located in the engine compartment, the majority of dustproof processing simple. When the rain soaked, vehicle central computer and on the body line is very easy to appear short circuit, and the module is a light but there is a problem, a malfunction, or vehicle damage, even by a short circuit caused the fire.

Cars make our life more and more convenient, and a car code scanner can help you detect and correct faulty/corrupted car codes. Hot like Launch X431 and mb star help a lot for your car.

How to repair the car that flooded by water?

The vehicle park only mild water, causing the vehicle floor wet, we generally is the first car seat removed, remove the car floor, will chair and floor rain soaked components inside the vehicle to get sun exposure, and carefully check the computer board is not water, to clean the car. Vehicle repair such generally need a week, if do not need to change parts, repair costs are only a few hundred yuan.
http://pic3.xihuan.me/edr/680__/t0132744bc3f7b3fd10.jpg
But for light vehicle inlet, many owners think that the vehicle is in a little water, as long as the door opened drying can own. In so doing, often leads to failure is more serious, "because of the car seat and the water on the floor is difficult to dry, when the vehicle is in the sun, high temperature can make the car like a steamer, the amount of moisture through the electronic components inside the car floor, erosion, corrosion caused by electronic components. This is also a lot of the car in the water after a short time by using no fault, but two or three months later, they continued to fail for some unknown reason."

Vehicle engine damage, mostly occurred in the water when driving, because the water is too deep, vehicles in the forced through, resulting in engine water, leading to block damage.Therefore, in the driving process, if you see in front of the road area of water and I can not conclude that the water depth, don't try to force through. If no other route choice, only from the front through the words, the owner should be hung in the lowest car blocking, gently step on the gas, slowly through the road.

In general, 'flooded car' only by professional repair or to repair the normal running. The key lies in the automobile is soaked in water for a long time, the extent of damage of vehicles. When the car was soaked in water, such as in the parking lot was blisters, even out, actually the biggest loss is not computer integrated block engine but the car. These computer integrated block because the soaking is oxidized, a lot of time to repair and replace, otherwise the car is not normal operation. But because a lot of electronic components is one-time cannot open, repair on the surface looks very good, but in fact there may be trouble appeared in the later period of use, it is the existence of these problems, made some "flooded car" in the repair, there may be some fault.

In the heavy rain the weather, the best way is to nip in the bud, to avoid flooding the tragedy. When the owners of parking choice as far as possible stops in the higher ground, not to park the vehicle in the indentation section or some drainage facilities not good underground parking lot. If the owner of the car park in the parking lot or garage, was flooded or flooding, don't start ignition, if an ignition starting, will cause the electrical part of the extended losses.

Here also recommend the useful and hot car diagnostic tool like:

Lexia 3 PP2000 is a car diagnostics for Peugeot and Citroen; it is packed with one main host and two version software, PP2000 for Peugeot and Lexia 3 for Citroen. Before installation Lexia 3 PP2000, you have to close all of the anti-virus software, to prevent the data for the device is destroyed by the anti-virus software.

Check the line in time to prevent spontaneous combustion of the car

Always check the maintenance of electrical circuit. A motor vehicle with automatic control performance is high, electrical lines all over the body, arranged in a crisscross pattern is very complicated, connecting many electrical components, through high temperature baking to vibrations and the engine for a long time, persistent, electrical lines appear likely hardening crack, open circuit, short circuit or bad contact phenomenon, resulting in electrical circuit grounding, due to leakage "the fire" or heat storage and combustion.
http://g.hiphotos.baidu.com/album/w%3D2048/sign=de60eb9565380cd7e61ea5ed957cad34/a6efce1b9d16fdfac14fd2cbb48f8c5494ee7bf7.jpg
You can find some hot car tools like obd2 scanner for more.
Always check the oil (gas) pipeline maintenance. Fuel oil (gas) in case of oil (gas) pipeline leakage fault, and air mixture explosion concentration limit, in the fire it may cause fire or explosion, the dangers of fire after the vehicle electrical circuit fault. Therefore, the owner should be in electrical maintenance vehicle with the oil (gas) pipeline maintenance. In addition, when driving the motor vehicle if the smell in the fuel oil (gas) strong taste, motor vehicle has undergone a fuel oil (gas) leak fault, the situation is very dangerous, should not continue to run, or is likely to cause spontaneous combustion of motor vehicle. At this time should immediately turn off the engine, the car park by the roadside, notify the auto repair shop to repair.

Do not overload long-distance driving. Every vehicle has its rated dwt, car drivers should strictly abide by the rules, especially not overload driving, otherwise it will cause engine temperature, causing oil, circuit spontaneous combustion, or cause excessive tire temperature, tire increased pressure to accelerate tire wear, and even lead to spontaneous combustion tire puncture. If long-term severe overloading, but also greatly shorten the life of the vehicle.

It is strictly prohibited to refit vehicle. Now some young people in order to highlight the personality, to refit vehicle according to his own will, to the car to install some electrical equipment, changed the original circuit design, increase the electricity load, thus give the car planted a "time bomb", is likely to trigger spontaneous combustion, causing owners should be especially alert.

Do not place the dangerous goods. Summer high temperature conditions especially not the gas lighter, air fresheners, mousse and filled with plastic or metal pressure tank flammable gas placed on the vehicle driving on the table. Because it is easy to produce high temperature due to sun exposure, "flammable liquefied gas pressure vessel" within the expansion, thus causing an explosion combustion. Can't get gasoline, alcohol, paint and fireworks and other dangerous items are placed in the car, because once the leakage or traffic accidents are likely to cause explosion combustion.

Should be equipped with vehicle fire extinguisher. In order to nip in the bud, the vehicle should be equipped with at least 1 larger fire extinguisher fire extinguishers, because small volume is difficult to put out the fire. There are fire extinguishers in the following three types of comparison for configuration in motor vehicles: multifunctional fire extinguisher, foam fire extinguisher, dry powder fire extinguisher. Each fire extinguisher has its shelf life and specific operation method, the user should strictly abide by the product maintenance and use, fire extinguishers should be updated in a timely manner to failure, so as to avoid the fire did not use. In addition, the car the best preparation of a basin or bucket, can timely access to water conditions, the best water fire extinguishing effect.

Read automotive fault code should pay attention to the following points

Clear fault codes correctly
Automobile troubleshooting, need to clear the fault code. For fault code clear, should be strictly in accordance with the provisions of specific models of fault code cleanup method, don't simply use removed battery negative strap to erase fault code. Otherwise, may result in the following two aspects: first, the trouble of some models to control the computer lost "experience memory", we know, control computer some car with automatic memory function, remove the battery negative strap, will automatically clear the storage engine operating experience with data in memory, thereby the automobile repair after a fairly long period of time performance is not good, or running after a period, and to reproduce the fault code has been removed; second, will cause the loss of some functions, such as audio lock is one of the most common examples. At this time, you need to decrypt the audio system in more cumbersome procedures, working to restore the audio system.
http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5462/7098736395_a151e3023e.jpg
Suitable temperature control
Read the code, the engine to normal operating temperature can be used only for the self diagnostic test, especially the water temperature at 85 ~ 95 ℃ when reading the code is the most reliable. Otherwise, in the reading process, sometimes a non fault codes, such as temperature, exhaust gas recirculation, idling bad fault codes. It often makes people mistakenly think that electronic control system fault self diagnosis system of many that or malfunction.

Correct reading order
The electronic control system of static code reading and dynamic code reading, should pay attention to order two code reading and the conversion process, otherwise it will cause the fault code reading failure, many models have strict procedural requirements on the two kinds of code conversion. First of all, you must first read the static code, if static code after reading, the system does not output code "11" normal fault code, go read dynamic code, can appear the fault distortion, resulting in repair of the miscarriage of justice. And it often causes a kind of illusion to repair personnel, if fault code useless like. At the same time, should pay attention to, before reading dynamic code, the general need to remove static code. In the process of dynamic code self diagnosis before, should remove the read static code when connected to the diagnostic socket on the bridge, and then clear the static fault code, then start to accelerate to 2000r/min engine and, at least 2min, so as to enable the engine to normal operating temperature, and then close the ignition switch, after waiting 10s the self the diagnosis of joint inter connected, and start the engine again, this time to display fault code is the dynamic mode of fault codes.

Note that after reading the memory correction
Through the electronic control car for read code, clear code, and troubleshooting, if the car's acceleration performance declined, sometimes a normal phenomenon, but requires maintenance personnel to the control computer ECU correct driving position memory correction. In other words, is to restore control of the computer of the car's current position memory function. As long as the vehicle in a normal car, continuously repeated start, driving, turn off, up to a certain number of times, the relative performance cars will gradually be restored.

Analysis of the reasons for the frequent blowout accident

1.Overload causing a puncture
At present, the domestic highway overload freight cars running situation are relatively common, quite a part of the individual transport people think, freight cars do not overload is not profitable. However, one of the main causes of freight car tire overload is.

At present, the domestic production and use of freight cars commonly used high-pressure tires, large capacity dual rear wheels generally tire. In normal circumstances, when the load on the wheels when the maximum allowed value, the internal pressure of the tire pressure of 5-7 atm, when freight cars of the actual load exceed the maximum permissible load of the wheel, the tire will increase the internal pressure large, the internal pressure of the tire when the tire valve sealing pressure over time, it will cause a flat tire, a rear wheel bearing capacity if there is a flat tire and the driver failed to find that it will lead to post-wheeled the load is too large and another tire puncture.

In addition, freight car long time use of brakes, brake drum will gradually produce high temperature, because the freight car tire valve close to the middle position tire rim inside, away from the brake drum is very near, high temperature brake drum production will make the valve at the bottom of the rubber expansion and deterioration of sealing variation, freight car that often run in mountain areas, hilly area because of long time, often have to use of brakes, tire valve sealing ordinary poor, therefore a higher probability.

2.Speeding caused a puncture
The common models and tire for speeding is small-sized passenger car, especially senior car performance good. On the highway, some good performance of the car at the speed of more than 110 kilometers per hour, senior car performance similar to overtake each other on the highway, the higher speed.

Tire pressure on modern cars is usually adopted, when the load on the wheel for the maximum permissible value, the tire inner pressure between 1.5 and 1.4 ATM, the car at high speed in the case of long time, the tire and the ground friction will generate a lot of heat, the heat accumulated to a certain degree, will cause the tire itself high temperature.

The adverse effects of high temperature on the tire has two aspects, one is the tire itself expansion and compressive variation; two is to make the air in the tire inflation causes the tire inner pressure. In addition, maintains the high speed running car tire long time, maintain a relatively stable state of the contact surface of the tire and the ground is a long time, tire strain surface difficult to be adjusted, this state maintained for a long time, tend to make more than the tire load and tire pressure strain intensity of the tire.

3. The road condition is not good

How to judge the brakes when need to change?

A new brake pad thickness is about 1.5cm, with the use of continuous friction thickness becomes thin. Professional and technical personnel, when the brake pad thickness is only the original 1/3 thickness observed by naked eye (about 0.5cm) or so, the owner should increase self frequency, ready to replace at any time. Of course, the individual models because hub design reasons, do not have the naked eye viewing conditions, need to remove the tire to complete.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7077/6963030572_0b33d61226.jpg
Each brake pads on both sides of a raised flag, this flag in a couple of millimeters thick, which is the thinnest disc replacement limit, if the thickness of the brake pads have been parallel with this flag, you have to be replaced.So when the brake pad thickness close to the mark, the owner must observe the preparations, but not remove the tire situation through the naked eye is difficult to accurately observe, many models of instruments in the brakes too thin when the hand brake lamp position will be prompt, self-test is relatively convenient.

Tips:Brake pads under the car and driving habits without replacement interval strict, generally in the traveling sixty thousand kilometers is about to consider replacement. When the naked eye observation of brake thinner should be in the maintenance requirements and technical personnel to carry out inspection, because the eye will have errors, professional repair station through the caliper than naked eye observation more rigorous.

If the tap the brakes at the same time "iron loiter iron" hiss, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. Because the ultimate mark on both sides of the brake has direct friction brakes, brake has proved over the limit. Encounter this kind of situation, in the replacement of brake at the same time with the brake disk check, this sound is often the brake disc is damaged, then even if the replacement of new brake pads is still unable to eliminate noise, serious when the need to replace the brake disc.

Tips:When heard the brake voice often late, the brake disc will be more or less damage. Brake disc brake price compared to much higher, it is recommended that you frequently check brake pads, brake disc of things to avoid injury.

When the brake pad became thinned that our braking effect will be affected,at this time need a deeper brake pedal in order to achieve the original light step braking effect can be achieved,the first half of the braking effect is weakened, many people feel the brakes become soft, a bit not brake, this is the time to check whether the brake pads need to be replaced.

Tips:This method is relatively abstract, feel some not good grasp, therefore, to develop a good habit of self-test is very important.In addition the braking effect decreases the brake oil consumption increased at the same time, so the replacement brake to check on the brake oil condition.

Here are also some car diagnostic tools recommended to you, like airbag reset tool,maxiscan ms509 which can help you solve the car problems in a easy way.

Engine maintenance tips

1.Lubricating oil using the appropriate quality grade. On the gasoline engine exhaust system should be based on the additional device selection and the use of the SD-SF gasoline engine oil; diesel engine according to the mechanical load selection of CB-CD grade diesel engine oil, use standard of not less than the manufacturer specified requirements shall prevail.

2.Oil and filter change regularly. Lubricating oil any quality grade in the using process of the oil will change, in order to avoid failure, should be combined with the conditions of use regular oil, and the oil quantity is moderate (generally in oil rod cap.).

3.To keep the crankcase ventilation. Now most of the gasoline engine is equipped with PCV valve (mandatory crankcase ventilation installation), but the pollutant gas channeling in around deposition in the PCV valve, the valve plug may. Therefore, pollutants shall be regularly cleared PCV around the valve.

4.Regular cleaning of crankcase. The engine in the process of running, the combustion chamber pressure unburned gas, acid, water, sulfur and nitrogen oxides after clearance between piston rings and cylinder wall into the crankcase, and powder metal parts wear the mixed together, forming sludge. Therefore, should be cleaned regularly to keep the engine crankcase, internal cleaning.

5.Regular cleaning fuel oil system, controlling the formation of coke, so the engine can maintain the best state.

6.The engine water tank rust, scale is the most common problems. The cooling system of rust and scale can limit the cooling liquid in the flow, reduce the cooling effect, causing the engine to overheat, even cause engine damage. So in the regular cleaning tank, remove the rust and scale.

Maintain filter: filter refers to the air filter, oil filter, fuel filter. Filter for air in automobile engine, oil and gasoline plays a role of filtration, thus protecting the engine, but also improve the work efficiency of the engine.

Most riders in the face of diesel condensation occurs, the misunderstanding, method of operation is not standardized, easy to damage the vehicle, there are security risks. As in the diesel fuel blending gasoline, will bring the following problems.

First, it enables the vehicle difficult cold start, start times to be a car; the second vehicle combustion deterioration, a portion of the fuel cannot be fully combustion, the fuel consumption increased significantly, decreased sharply increase horsepower, exhaust pollution. In addition, the service life of the engine will have a great influence. In particular, direct baking tank approach, both time-consuming and laborious, but also very dangerous, should put an end to this kind of mistake.

At the same time, consumers are also the universal existence of such a mistake, think of No. 0 diesel oil as long as the temperature can be normal use in 0 ℃, this is mainly due to the diesel antifreeze properties do not understand the cause. To measure diesel antifreeze performance indicators are mainly two, namely the cold filter plugging point and freezing point. Condensation point is the highest temperature diesel loss of mobility in the environment of low temperature; cold filter plugging point through the engine fuel injection system for diesel will be caused by high temperature filter clogging. The national standard diesel No. 0 cold filter plugging point is 4 ℃, the pour point is 0 ℃. No matter what kind of label of diesel, as the temperature drops, it first passes through the cold filter plugging point after condensation point.

CHRYSLER A604 PLANETARY FAILURE

COMPLAINT: Before or after overhaul,premature planetary gear failure occurs.

CAUSE:
The cause may be:
1.  Damaged turbine shaft sealing rings or a scored surface where they ride in the rear of the pump cover.
2. A worn bushing in the rear of the turbine shaft where the underdrive clutch hub rides.
3. A restriction in the underdrive clutch hub lubrication holes.
4. Worn bushings in the overdrive clutch hub and shaft.
5. Worn or misplaced (moved) bushings in the 2-4 sun gear hub or a restriction in the two lube holes.
6. End clearance too loose allowing the input drum to "Walk" back and forth causing a loss of lube pressure because of a possible mis-alignment of the lubrication holes.
7. A restricted or blocked oil cooler restricting lubrication flow to the planetary gear train.
You also can get obd2 scanner for more.
CORRECTION:

Inspect and repair or replace as needed:
Inspect "Turbine Shaft" sealing rings and the sleeve area in the rear of the pump cover for wear. Apply compressed air into hole "A" in turbine shaft and ensure the air exit's through hole "B" freely.

Inspect the bushing in the rear of the turbine shaft for wear or scoring. Ensure that the bushing clearance to the Underdrive clutch hub shaft is no more than .003" to .006." Apply compressed air to hole "C," in the end of the Underdrive Clutch Hub Shaft, and ensure the air exits freely through holes "D" and "E" on the sides of the shaft as well as hole "F", which is the .062" hole in the "Splined" end of the shaft.

Inspect the bushings inside of the "Overdrive Clutch Hub Shaft" for wear or scoring and ensure a snug fit on the "Underdrive Clutch Hub Shaft." Inspect lube holes "G" and "H" and ensure that the bushings are not covering or restricting the lube holes. Replace the overdrive clutch hub and shaft as necessary.

Inspect the bushings in the "2-4 Sun Gear Hub" for wear or scoring and ensure a snug fit on the "Overdrive Clutch Hub Shaft." Inspect the bushing placement and ensure that the bushings have not "Walked" together causing the two .076" holes,"I" and "J", to be blocked or restricted. A small "Paper Clip" or "Scribe" bent at a 90° angle will serve as a good tool to check for restrictions in these lube holes.

After re-assembly of the transaxle is completed, "Turbine Shaft" end play "MUST' be measured with the use of a "Dial Indicator." This is "Critical, "Turbine Shaft End Play" must be between .005" to.015"

After the transaxle is installed into the vehicle check the amount of cooler flow entering the front cooler fitting by removing the cooler line and placing it into a container. Start the engine and ensure that more than 1 quart of fluid is flowing into the container every 20 seconds minimum. If there are any restrictions or not enough flow, the radiator or factory external cooler may require replacement. If the vehicle is equipped with the external "Cooler Bypass," ensure that the cooler lines are installed correctly onto the transaxle. If the transmission is equipped with the internal cooler bypass valve, the bypass valve is assembled correctly into the case.

SERVICE INFORMATION:
Overdrive Hub and Shaft (.050" larger in diameter)..........................................4659615
2-4 Sun gear and Hub (.050"larger bushing diameter).......................................4659618
NOTE: The overdrive clutch hub shaft was changed in diameter to prevent it from breaking. The 2-4 sun gear and hub was changed in diameter to acommodate the new overdrive clutch hub shaft. These parts will retro fit to previous design as long as they are used together. Some hot ones like Chrysler Adapter and Carman Vg Scanner also can help you more,if you need.

CHRYSLER 42RE 1-2 SHIFT SHUTTLE AFTER REBUILD

COMPLAINT: After rebuild, some vehicles may exhibit a 1-2 upshift shuttle condition that may lead you into thinking it is governor pressure or valve body related.

CAUSE: The cause may be, that you have adjusted the intermediate band incorrectly, or the seal rings on the 1-2 accumulator piston are leaking.

CORRECTION:
We have gotten into the habit of adjusting the intermediate band with a visual adjustment during the rebuild process, before we install the bottom pan. This is a grave mistake on the 42RE transmission. You must tighten the adjusting screw to 72 inch pounds, and then back the adjusting screw off exactly 3-5/8 turns, as shown in Figure 1. In some cases we have also
had to install the previous design 1-2 accumulator piston with steel seal rings as shown in Figure 2.

MAZDA/FORD GF4A-EL/GF4EAT HARSH UPSHIFTS

COMPLAINT: 1993 & up, vehicles equipped with GF4A-EL transaxles, built before 1/3/95, may exhibit a harsh 1-2 upshift or harsh upshift complaints before or after overhaul. Line pressure appears to be normal or slightly higher than normal when checking in the "D" range. "Normal" line pressure readings are as follows, 60-78psi. at idle and 161-172 psi. at stall.

CAUSE: The cause may be, higher than normal control pressure passing through the main control spacer plate.

CORRECTION: Replace the Pressure Control Solenoid as shown in Figure 1 with Ford part number F32Z-7G136-AA or Mazda part number FU9A-21-1G1A. Inspect the Pressure Regulator Valve and the Pressure Regulator Valve bore for  wear or scoring. Inspect the Boost Valve and Boost Valve Sleeve for wear or scoring. Ensure that there is no "side to side" wobble of the Pressure Regulator Valve, when it is in its bore.See Figure 2. Enlarge the Pressure Regulator "balance" orifice in the rear control spacer plate to .056" as shown in Figure 3.

THM 3T40 (125C) - Pump Rotor And Slide Changes

CHANGE: Beginning in late 1985, the dimensions of the pump rotor and pump slide changed (See Figure 1).

REASON: Improved pump capacity.

PARTS AFFECTED
(1) PUMP ROTOR - The outside diameter of the rotor was made smaller. The previous rotor O.D. was 2.235", and the present rotor O.D. is 2.210". (See Figure 1).
(2) PUMP SLIDE - The height of the pump slide stop was made shorter. The previous pump slide stop measures .426", and the present pump slide stop measures .406" (See Figure 1).

INTERCHANGEABILITY:
The pump rotor and pump slide are interchangeable. "ONLY AS A SET". You CANNOT mix these parts.
(1) If you install the previous (Large) rotor with the present (Short) slide, interference will result and usually strip the rotor splines.
(2) If you install the present (Small) rotor with the previous (Tall) slide, erratic line pressures can be encountered.
(3) DO NOT MIX THESE PARTS.
Also recommend some car tools like digimaster 2 and Launch X431 which may help to konw auto repair.

THM 4L60-E - Intermittent Pressure Rise On 1996 Models Only

COMPLAINT: Beginning at the start of production for all 1996 model vehicles equipped with the THM 4L60-E transmission, there was a VCM (Vehicle Control Module) installed on the vehicles with an internal ground wire that connects the two printed circuit boards together. Some vehicles with the VCM will display very erratic and unstable line pressure rise in the transmission, and in some instances, premature failure of the transmission.

CAUSE: Bad ground connection from one printed circuit board to the other.

CORRECTION: There is now available from OEM parts sources, a new service repair kit with an instruction sheet, to repair 1996 vehicles with this condition, and is available under OEM part number 12167310.

Step Number One:
Remove the wire and terminal from location 18 in the "Clear" connector, and install one end of the jumper wire that is included in the service kit into location 18 in the "Clear" connector, and reinstall the clear connector, as shown in Figure 1.

Step Number Two:
Install the wire and terminal that was removed from cavity location 18 in the clear connector, into empty cavity location 23 of the "Blue" connector, as shown in Figure 1.

Step Number Three:
Install the other end of the included jumper wire that was previously installed in cavity 18 of the clear connector, into empty cavity location 26 of the "Red" connector, as shown in Figure 1.
