Let’s take the Peugeot Citroen 1.6T engine, which has the largest inventory at present, as an example. The valve cover is damaged from 70,000 km to 100,000 km, which is not a common problem of Peugeot Citroen. BMW, Buick, Chevrolet, Ford and other models are also prone to oil leakage when driving for 100,000 kilometers, or the negative pressure is wrong, and the air intake fault is reported, or there is a fire, or the oil consumption is obviously abnormal.

Distinguishing between true and false valve cover

First, the original valve cover must be used. Replacing the original valve cover will solve the problem. The original Peugeot Citroen valve chamber is produced by Meijia, and there are many parallel imports in the market, and 95% of the quality is very poor. If there is no reliable channel to purchase, the probability of buying parallel valve chamber covers is as high as 95%. Once the valve cover of parallel imports is used, it is highly probable that it will not work well, and there are still many potential safety hazards, such as the engine idling for one hour, the engine climbing up a steep slope and stepping on the accelerator, and when the negative pressure inside is high, the engine oil will leak from the valve cover pad. In severe cases, there is too much engine oil in the engine room, which flows to the exhaust manifold below. Under the high temperature of the exhaust manifold above 400 degrees, it is easy to cause the engine to catch fire, and the potential safety hazard is great.

Someone replaced the aluminum alloy cover. The aluminum alloy cover is not the original one, which is not easy to use, because when the valve cover is installed, the plastic one has tension, and the aluminum alloy has no tension at all, which will lead to oil leakage after a period of use. Of course, if the original factory is aluminum alloy, we must change the original aluminum alloy cover, and if the original factory is plastic, we must change the original plastic cover.

Second, how to identify the original valve cover. It is very difficult to tell the difference just by looking at the valve cover. Look at the picture below: The red spots in the aging and damaged valve cover have been damaged and fallen off, resulting in serious engine oil burning.

How can two new valve covers distinguish between good and bad? The simplest way is to compare the gluing at the seams. Figure 1 shows the gluing seams of brand parts, and Figure 2 shows the seams of the original Meijia. The glue in the joint position in Figure 1 is rough, which can be seen by naked eyes. The glue in the original factory of Figure 2 is uniform and tidy.

The glue applied to the seal under the oil cover, Figure 3 shows the glue of brand parts, and Figure 4 shows the glue of the original valve cover, which is also very different. So if you want to change it, just change the original parts.

Third, matters needing attention in replacing the 1.6T valve cover. Many riders have encountered the problem of oil leakage from the valve cover or oil burning due to the aging of the one-way valve in the valve cover, and the problem has not been solved after replacement. In fact, there are three reasons. Remember the following three points, and it is not a detour to replace the valve cover.

Fourth, the negative pressure value that everyone pays the most attention to. Many people are unfamiliar with the negative pressure of the 1.6T engine. Today, we will provide this value for you to facilitate the inspection of engine oil in the future.

First of all, there must be a tool to test the negative pressure value. After the hot car is started, the negative pressure value is detected. One end of the hose is inserted into the filler of the oil dipstick, and the other end is set to mbar, so that the test can be started. The normal value of 1.6T has a slight change around 35. If it is lower than 25, it will obviously start to consume oil. At this time, it is impossible to observe it by using the traditional method to open the oil cover and pull out the oil dipstick, which can almost approach the oil consumption of 3000-4000 kilometers per liter. If it is lower than 12, there will be obvious abnormal consumption of engine oil, and it is common to consume one liter of engine oil for hundreds of kilometers or one thousand kilometers. Especially in the early aging of the valve cover, the oil consumption of low-speed driving in the city is not obvious, and the oil consumption of high-speed driving will be significantly higher.

Precautions for valve cover replacement

First, the original valve cover, which is an essential element;

Second, after disassembling the valve cover, the cooling time should be sufficient;

Third, install the screws in sequence according to the standard torque.

As long as we pay attention to the above three points, we can solve the problem well, and the valve cover problem is not a design defect.

summary

With regard to the problem of burning engine oil caused by the valve cover of French vehicles, we should pay attention to two points: first, replace the original valve cover; Second, find professional checkpoints, such as legal system specialization and sunshine craftsman shop. The burning oil caused by the valve cover can be 4000 liters or 600 liters, which is possible. In the initial stage, it is not serious to consume one liter of engine oil for 4000 kilometers, and it will consume one liter of engine oil for 1000 kilometers or hundreds of kilometers in the later stage. To prevent the engine from burning engine oil prematurely, we can regularly use the cleaner with general PNF technology to keep the oil circuit clean and clean the ternary system at the same time, so as to reduce carbon deposition, thus delaying the occurrence of engine oil burning.

When referring to Ruifeng M3, users may be concerned about its advantages and disadvantages. In fact, although this model has some minor problems, overall, its performance is quite stable. In terms of power, Ruifeng M3 switched to HFC 4G3-3D 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, and the output power was increased to 147 HP and the torque reached 196 Nm, which was 4 HP and 16 Nm higher than that of the old model, and matched with the 5-speed manual gear, although some people reported that the fuel consumption was high and the noise control needed to be improved. In addition, users may have concerns about air conditioning. However, despite these small flaws, Ruifeng M3 still shows good competitiveness in cost performance. After all, no car is perfect.

Recently, JAC launched a new IKEA version 2.0L model for Ruifeng M3 to improve the user experience. The new model not only replaced the upgraded engine, but also upgraded its configuration, including electric power steering and automatic start-stop function. The low-equipped manual luxury model is equipped with electric heating rearview mirror and rear cabin air conditioning, while the high-equipped manual luxury intelligent model adds a multi-function steering wheel, car Bluetooth and cruise control, which brings more convenience to drivers.

Although the problem of fuel consumption has been mentioned, as a small MPV, Ruifeng M3′ s overall design continues the fashion style of Ruifeng MPV family. The body lines are smooth, and the front face is designed with integrated bumper and double horizontal net, with chrome trim, showing a unique visual effect. The large triangular window design of the front door and the integrated design of the headlights and air intake grille on the front face all show the recognition of the vehicle. At the same time, the design of fog lamp and lower air inlet keeps the traditional elements, and the overall shape is simple and practical.

Generally speaking, Ruifeng M3 has performed well in cost performance and basic performance. Although there are some minor problems, the shortcomings do not cover up. For those car buyers who are looking for practicality and economy, it is a worthy choice.

The annual "NEVC China New Energy Logistics Vehicle Challenge" is about to start. I believe that everyone is more concerned about which models will come to participate in the competition. Tram Jun will take you to see:

Note: The following rankings are in no particular order and are constantly updated.

　　　　Recently, some media have exposed a set of spy photos of the new Nissan Sylphy. There is almost no change in the design of this model. The biggest difference is that a new logo has appeared at the tail. This logo probably means that the new Sylphy will be equipped with a 1.6L engine from Tiida, and the model name will be changed.(Spy photos in the text Source: car home)

[New Sylphy spy photos]

　　　　The Sylphy model in the picture adopts the "PURE DRIVE" logo, which appears on the body of the new generation of Trent and New Sunshine. Adopting this logo means that the new Sylphy will adopt the new PURE DRIVE series engines. speculateThe new Sylphy is likely to be replaced with a 1.6-liter engine from Xinda.

[The "PURE DRIVE" logo appears at the tail of the new Sylphy]

　　　　In addition to the power upgrade, the logos of "SYLPHY" and "CLASSIC" appeared at the tail of the test car. It is speculated that the new generation of Sylphy will be launched next year.The current Sylphy is likely to be named "Sylphy Classic" and sold on the same stage as the replacement model.

　　　　Editor’s comment:Sales of new and old cars under the same roof have appeared more and more in Japanese cars. At present, most of the main Japanese cars have been introduced into China. To expand the product line, there must be more "extreme measure", such as sales of new and old cars under the same roof, or tailor-made products for the China market. Obviously, the former has lower cost and higher success rate. After the replacement of Sylphy is listed, the price of "Classic Sylphy" is expected to be lowered, and the 2.0L model will be cancelled, focusing on cost performance, and its competitiveness is still not to be underestimated.

Biodiesel pilot demonstration includes vehicle biodiesel, marine biodiesel and others. The pilot demonstration of vehicle biodiesel includes regional popularization and application, industry popularization and application, enterprise popularization and application, and expressway popularization and application; The pilot demonstration of marine biodiesel includes the promotion and application of bonded areas and free trade zones, and the promotion and application of rivers and lakes. Governments and enterprises at all levels have further expanded the application scenarios of biodiesel in China by carrying out pilot demonstrations on the promotion and application of various types of biodiesel, and accumulated experience for continuing to expand the promotion and application of green liquid fuels such as biodiesel.

3) In 2023, the EU initiated the review of biodiesel for many times. In 2023, domestic biodiesel production declined and exports were under pressure. In April 2023, ISCC initiated the review of biodiesel certification enterprises in China; In August, 2023, the European Commission launched an anti-circumvention investigation on biodiesel originating in Indonesia and exported to Europe via China and Britain. On December 20th, 2023, the European Commission initiated an anti-dumping investigation on biodiesel products originating in China, and it is expected that a preliminary ruling will be made 7-8 months after the case is filed. According to Zhuo Chuang Information, the domestic biodiesel production in 2023 was 857,000 tons, down 33.5% year-on-year; Exports were 1.95 million tons, up 8.7% year-on-year, of which 1.867 million tons were exported to European countries, accounting for 95.7%, but 775,000 tons were exported in the second half of the year, down 34.0% from the first half.

4) Domestic pilot application will help boost domestic demand for biodiesel, so we need to pay attention to the specific implementation of the government and enterprises in the future. From the government’s point of view, it is an effective way to help realize the goal of "double carbon" to carry out pilot demonstration of biodiesel popularization and application; From the enterprise’s point of view, it is imperative to actively expand the domestic demand for biodiesel in the current situation of weak export demand and price to the EU. From the price point of view, the current domestic biodiesel price is 6800-7000 yuan/ton, while the current market price of 0# diesel is 7700-7800 yuan/ton (including tax), so biodiesel is more cost-effective in the short term. However, according to the promotion and application of B5 biodiesel in Shanghai, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Shanghai Development and Reform Commission arranged a subsidy fund of 41.86 million yuan for biodiesel production from kitchen waste oil. We expect that the subsidy amount per ton of biodiesel will be around 1000 yuan. Although the prices of biodiesel and diesel oil are upside down at present, the prices of refined oil are relatively high, and the profitability of biodiesel is limited. Therefore, it is still necessary to pay attention to the specific implementation of biodiesel promotion by the government and enterprises in the future.

5) Investment suggestion: It is suggested to pay attention to Zhuoyue Xinneng, the leader of domestic biodiesel industry. At present, the company’s biodiesel production capacity is 500,000 tons, and the bio-based materials production capacity is 90,000 tons.

Risk warning: the risk of a sharp drop in the price of biodiesel, the risk that the demand for biodiesel in the EU is less than expected, and the risk of changes in biodiesel policies in the EU and China. (Guosen Securities Yang Lin, Xue Cong)

Many friends know that the engine oil needs to be changed when the vehicle is maintained, but many people don’t know what the function of engine oil is and how to choose engine oil. Today, Xiao Jia will introduce you to the knowledge about engine oil!

Automobile lubricating oil can be generally divided into three types because of its different functions: engine oil, gearbox and differential oil, and grease (butter). The most common thing in vehicle maintenance is to change the engine oil.

Engine oil has five functions.

Lubrication function: the function of engine oil is to fill and lubricate the surfaces of moving parts and reduce the friction between moving parts. Its working principle is: the engine oil is pressurized by the oil pump and transported between the rotating parts, and an oil film is formed on the two friction surfaces to separate them, thus reducing the contact surface between moving parts, thus reducing wear and prolonging the service life of parts. There is surface friction between piston and cylinder, crank-connecting rod mechanism, cam valve train, gear rotating mechanism, etc., which must be lubricated by engine oil to ensure normal working conditions.

Cooling function: engine oil can bring back part of the heat generated between the rotating parts of the engine to the oil pan, and achieve the cooling effect through the oil pan wall. Some engines are also equipped with special engine oil radiators to achieve better cooling effect, so as to ensure the normal temperature between the rotating parts of the engine and keep the engine in normal working condition for a long time.

Sealing function: The engine oil also has a sealing function. For example, the engine piston ring and the cylinder wall are filled with engine oil, so that the contact surface and the gap have both a lubricating function and a sealing function, so that the piston can reduce air leakage when inhaling and compressing, and ensure the normal working compression ratio. If the piston ring and cylinder wall are worn, the sealing effect of engine oil can be improved by adjusting the viscosity of engine oil or adding engine oil additives, thus improving the working condition of the engine.

Cleaning function: The engine oil is pressurized by the oil pump and transported between the rotating parts of various parts for lubrication and heat dissipation. At the same time, it can also wash and clean the rotating working surface of the parts, bring the dust particles entering the engine and the garbage generated by the work to the oil pan, and keep the engine parts, rotating working surface and oil passage clean and smooth through the oil collection net and oil filter, thus ensuring the normal operation of the engine.

Rust-proof function: The working environment of the engine is complicated, and the climate change in spring, summer, autumn and winter will easily cause the metal parts to rust and deform, which will affect the normal operation of the engine and shorten its service life. The oil is pressurized by the oil pump and supplied to all parts and metal surfaces through the oil passage to form an oil film to isolate the air, which can prevent the metal surface from oxidation and rust and improve the service life of the engine.

If the engine is likened to the heart of a car, then the engine oil is the blood of the engine, which is a necessary condition to ensure the normal operation of the engine. Understanding the knowledge of engine oil, correctly selecting and using engine oil, and regularly replacing and maintaining it are very important to ensure the normal operation of the engine and prolong its service life.
