You Have Major Problems, In Case Of Motor Oil Leakage.

Sometimes drivers come across a problem of the motor oil presence in the air filter, by the fact it can lead to serious consequences. But what are they and which reasons lead to them?

Adjacent, to find the area of leakages can be a complicated task, you need to do it properly and be attentive during the engine examination. First of all, clear the car’s motor from dust and soot, thus you might see the grease spot on the surface. Be sure, that you washed up all hoses, brackets, engine tray, and wash the bottom of the machine and its suspension. Before to start to cool down the engine and isolate all eclectic elements and connectors.   

Did You check your car before the Summer Season?

Drivers know that they should prepare their car for the winter season, change tires, check fluids, etc. But do they need to do the same before summer comes? The answer is – Yes. The car was vulnerable to low temperatures, water and ice during several months, that’s why, except for replacing tires, you need to held complex check of the car’s units.

Surface Ignition — Is a Rare But Highly Undesirable Process In Your Auto

The principle of the internal combustion engine’s duty is known to every motorist, but what about surface ignition? Maybe you don't know enough about this process.

The temperature reaches more than 2000°C in the combustion chambers. For optimal operation of the engine, it must be cooled. Due to the efficient operation of the elements of the cooling system, the temperature in the combustion chambers drops significantly, and on average is 90°C.

Body-Control-Module (BCM) what are the key area of it?

Body-Control-Module (BCM) is a very complex unit which is responsible for many functions. For example, it is used to control the external and internal lighting, windows, seat heating, car alarm, door opening (lock of doors and trunk), speedometer and odometer, heating of the rear window and mirrors, etc. One of the connectors of the BCM is responsible for the input signal of the blow from the airbag. To simplify everything to the maximum level, it can be said that the BCM is a “controller of the comfort”.

P0190 - P0194 Fuel Rail Pressure

To continue the topic of the error codes, it is time to mention faults with Fuel Rail Pressure system. A fuel rail is essentially a pipe (usually resembling a rail) used to deliver fuel to individual fuel injectors on internal combustion engines.

• P0190 Fuel Rail Pressure 
• P0191 FRP Range/Performance
• P0192 FRP Low Input (voltage)
• P0193 FRP High Input (voltage)
• P0194 FRP Intermittent

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) Pross & Cons

Manual, hydraulic, automatic, variable and robotic transmission. Buying a car, the driver always draws on the type of transmission installed and a number of its other features. Quite common gearbox is CVT transmission, its main advantages and disadvantages and will be discussed.

Error code P0217 - Overheating engine

Error code P0217 is common, like the two previous ones (we wrote about earlier). P0217 is classified as a state of engine overheating or cooling system overheating, which essentially means the same thing. 

There are a lot of causes and consequences of overheating of the engine. It is important that the overheating of the engine is very dangerous and can lead to detonation. That is why when the error P0217 is shown up you need to climb under the hood and fix the problem immediately. 

ECU - Electric Control Unit or Engine Conrol Unit?

ECU is an Electric Control Unit, but sometimes the acronym means Engine Control Unit. So the question is, what does ECU really mean and how does it influence on the car output?

Actually, ECU is a general term for any electronic unit which controls different vehicle's “branches”. For example, Airbag Control Unit, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, etc. One car can include 80 ECUs.

Letters & Digitals Mercedes-Benz or is the classification so complicated?

Mercedes-Benz corporation was established in 1926 (when Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie. merged). Along with the development of the automotive industry, there was a need for the classification of models of vehicles and their motors. Each company tried to stand out by introducing new production technologies and producing more unique products. As a result, labeling appeared in order to help categorize all produced cars by the corporation or even brand. 

Reasons & Solutions Generic DTC of System Bank 1&2

There is a list of trouble codes which help to identify problems with the supplement of the car. DTC can be divided into 4 types: Powertrain codes(P####), Body codes(B####), Chassis codes(C####) and Network Communication codes(U####), By the way, all of the can be grouped in generic or standard DTC and to Manufacturer or specific.

This article is about Generic DTC’s P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175 – which indicate faults with oxygen level in the fuel.
