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.

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:

　　Land Rover from Britain has always occupied a place in the recreational vehicle market in Europe. However, as the "Rolls-Royce in SUV", there is no doubt that Land Rover pays attention to its interior design. This time, the top models of Land Rover Range Rover will come to report with greater motivation, which is the protagonist of this article, Range Rover Supercharged.

　　

　　Regardless of whether the Land Rover Range Rover in the past was off-road oriented or the later Land Rover Range Rover was luxury oriented, after retaining two fine traditions, since it is called "Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged", this time it must be an SUV with the ultimate performance orientation.

　　The Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged is a 4.2-liter supercharged V8 engine developed by Jaguar Car Factory, which can output 390 horsepower and the maximum torque of 550Nm. Driven by the brand-new ZF six-speed automatic transmission, the Range Rover Supercharged can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 6 seconds, and the top speed is 225 km/h. Of course, the conversion function of this ZF gearbox can also let the owner experience the shifting pleasure of the handcrafted car. In addition, when encountering the terrain that must be heavily off-road, the automatic slow driving mode can also make the Range Rover Supercharged get out safely.

　

Land Rover Range Rover waded through mountains and rivers.

　　Since we talked about getting out safely, of course, we have to talk about the maneuverability of Range Rover Supercharged. The car body structure design of Range Rover Supercharged is taken from Discovery 3/LR3, another car model owned by Land Rover. Although the wheelbase has been reduced by as much as six inches, the front and rear independent double wishbone suspension with pneumatic suspension has really improved the car body shaking. In addition, through the dynamic feedback system, the car owner can really grasp the road conditions. Therefore, Range Rover Supercharged can not only conquer difficult off-road terrain, but also become a beast that devours the road. However, in order to find out the best setting, the Land Rover team also put Range Rover Supercharged on the famous Nürburgring track for testing. After completing this work, Land Rover also put Range Rover Supercharged on 20-inch shoes, which were equipped with Brembo front brakes with four-point calipers to ensure the braking performance of Range Rover Supercharged.

　

　　As for the interior part, Land Rover certainly didn’t ignore the compliment of "Rolls-Royce in SUV". In order to present the luxurious car room of Range Rover, Land Rover uses a large number of high-grade leather, wooden decorative plates and aluminum alloy as the main materials for interior decoration. The moderate support and softness of the seat bring great comfort to passengers. The button configuration on the center console is also quite neat, and the multi-function steering wheel allows the owner. In addition, the fixed-speed navigation system reduces the burden of long-distance driving, and the use of xenon headlights keeps Range Rover Supercharged in blazing with anger.

Jiyue Automobile, formerly known as Jidu Automobile, was jointly established by Baidu and Geely. In January 2021, Baidu announced that it would build a car, saying that it would formally set up a smart car company to enter the automobile industry as a vehicle manufacturer, and Geely was the strategic partner of the new company. Two months later, Jidu Automobile, initiated by Baidu and strategically invested by Geely, was officially born. With the help of Geely, the speed of Jidu automobile is extremely fast. In June 2022, Jidu ROBO-01 concept car came out.

Regarding the sales target of Jidu Automobile, Xia Yiping, CEO of Jidu Automobile, once said: "My goal is to sell 10,000 units every month. There is really no need to worry about building a car now, but it doesn’t mean that you can sell it if you build it. " In addition, Xia Yiping also revealed that "in 2028, Jiji will have the ability to deliver 800,000 car robots throughout the year". However, the reality is very skinny. Due to the lack of production qualification, Jidu Automobile cannot directly entrust Geely to produce it. In the end, Baidu and Geely officially announced the brand of "Extreme Yue Automobile" in August 2023, and the first model was named "Extreme Yue 01". At this time, Baidu had to hand over the leading power and choose to participate in the car building as a technical solution provider to ensure that the ultra-Yue car can be mass-produced smoothly, and the ultra-Yue car has officially become a sub-brand of Geely. In October 2023, Extreme Yue 01 was officially listed at a price of 249,900-339,900 yuan. In November, 2023, the official price of Chaoyue 01 was reduced by 30,000 yuan, and the price range after the price reduction was 219,900-309,900 yuan.

Although it is backed by Geely and Baidu, the sales of Extreme Yue cars are very poor. In the first half of the year, the sales volume of Extreme Yue cars was only 2,700, and the monthly sales volume was less than 500. The sales volume was so bad that it could not be described as "depressed".

Extreme Yue 07 is the first car owned by Extreme Yue Automobile and the second model owned by Extreme Yue Automobile. It was officially named in December 2023, and it was also declared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, but it has not yet been listed. As a pure electric medium-sized car, the competitors of Extreme Yue 07 will aim at Tesla Model 3, Extreme Krypton 007, Extreme Krypton 007, Extreme Yue 007, Extreme Yue 07, and Lingke Z01. In the first half of the year, the best-selling pure electric medium-sized car was Tesla Model 3, with 70,500 cars, Xiaomi SU7 with 30,000 cars, and Extreme Krypton 007 with 27,200 cars. Referring to the market positioning and competing products, it is estimated that the market price of Extreme Yue 07 should be in the early 200,000 yuan.

Guosen Securities recently released a review of biodiesel industry, and analyzed that the domestic demand for biodiesel is expected to increase after the pilot application of biodiesel. The following is a summary of the research report: On April 2, 2024, the Comprehensive Department of the National Energy Administration publicized the pilot application of biodiesel in China.

Guosen Securities recently released a review of biodiesel industry, and analyzed that the domestic demand for biodiesel is expected to increase after the pilot application of biodiesel.

The following is a summary of the research report:

On April 2, 2024, the Comprehensive Department of National Energy Administration publicized the pilot project of domestic biodiesel promotion and application.

Guoxin Chemical’s viewpoint:

1) Promoting the application of biodiesel in China is helpful for recycling waste and accelerating the green and low-carbon energy transformation. Biodiesel is a kind of renewable energy produced from waste oil and other biomass, and it is an internationally recognized green and clean fuel. In September 2023, the National Energy Administration organized an on-site meeting on the pilot project of biodiesel promotion and application in Shanghai; In November 2023, the National Energy Administration issued the Notice of the National Energy Administration on Organizing the Pilot Demonstration of Biodiesel Popularization and Application, and organized the pilot application and review of biodiesel popularization and application; In April, 2024, the National Energy Administration announced 22 pilot projects for the popularization and application of biodiesel, including 19 cities/districts, as well as China Ship Fuel Co., Ltd., China Petrochemical Fuel Oil Sales Co., Ltd. and Shandong Expressway Group.

2) The content of the pilot demonstration is diverse, which accumulates experience for continuing to expand the popularization and application of biodiesel in China. 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.

　　Who is responsible for the traffic accident on the way to work? Similar problems still plague many "riders". Recently, Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd. lost a lawsuit in a motor vehicle traffic accident liability dispute trial, which caused more than 20,000 yuan to the plaintiff in traffic accident compensation, and was also recognized as "having a labor relationship with the courier". However, in the cooperation agreement signed between the courier and the company, Tongcheng Bing Company still defines the business model of "platform+individual" as "business cooperation relationship", which is not adjusted by labor laws and regulations. To this end, many couriers have questioned whether such a cooperation agreement is reasonable and legal.

　　After the flash was awarded more than 20 thousand yuan, the plaintiff dropped the lawsuit

　

　　A few days ago, a civil judgment issued by the Dongcheng District People’s Court in Beijing showed that on March 25, 2021, a traffic accident occurred between the citizen He Mou and the flash driver Li Mou, causing the plaintiff He Mou to be injured and the contact part of the vehicle damaged. The traffic management department determined that Li, the flasher, was fully responsible for the accident, and He sued Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd., the company to which the flasher belongs, for compensation.

　　In this regard, the same city Bing Company argued that there was no employment relationship with the flasher Li. However, after the court heard the case, it was determined that the company had an employment relationship with the courier Li, and the same city Bing was sentenced to pay He 20,770 yuan.

　　However, Bing Company in the same city appealed the verdict again last month. According to the judgment document of the second instance published on March 8, after the appeal of the same city Bing Company, the plaintiff He Mou applied to the court to withdraw the prosecution. As for the reasons for withdrawing the lawsuit, the reporter sent a letter to consult the Flash Brand Department, but as of press time, he did not receive a reply.

　

　　Flash delivery has been listed as the person subjected to execution for many times due to accident disputes.

　

　　The reporter found out that this kind of traffic accident liability dispute has become the main legal risk of Bing Company in the same city. Sky Eye Survey shows that the top three cases in the company are motor vehicle traffic accident liability disputes (95 cases), labor disputes (37 cases), and disputes over life, health and body rights (31 cases). In the first three months of this year alone, there were 19 court announcements or civil judgments issued by Tongcheng Bing Company.

　　It is noteworthy that Tongcheng Bing was listed as the executor by the local court several times. Eye-catching investigation shows that Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd. was enforced by the court seven times for failing to fulfill its legal obligations on time, at least four of which involved traffic accident liability disputes of flashers.

　　In August last year, the flasher Jiao Mou collided with the plaintiff, and the same city Bing Company proposed to recognize Jiao Mou’s accident in the process of sending "flashover" and agreed to bear the losses within a reasonable range of the plaintiff. The Chaoyang District People’s Court of Beijing ruled that Jiao and Bing Company in the same city jointly bear more than 5,000 yuan in compensation. However, on December 13, 2021, Tongcheng Bing Company and Jiao Mou failed to fulfill their legal obligations and were listed as executors with an execution target of 5,304 yuan.

　

　　Regarding the determination of the labor relationship of the "flash worker", Flash once replied to our reporter in September 2020 that the legal relationship between the flash worker and the platform is still inconclusive at the legal level, and the current effective judgments all determine that there is no labor relationship. However, after a year and a half, now looking at the trend of court decisions, it seems that the company can no longer easily "throw the pot".

　

　　Cooperation agreement can not avoid the identification of labor relations.

　

　　The reporter learned from the mouth of the courier that the basis for the "throwing pot" of the courier comes from the "Cooperation Agreement" signed between the courier and the platform. The agreement stipulates that the platform and the courier establish a business cooperation relationship, and there is no labor relationship between the employer and the laborer, which is not adjusted by labor laws and regulations.　　　

　　In this regard, many flashers openly questioned on the platforms such as Post Bar and Zhihu, emphasizing that the company needs to purchase specified equipment for single quantity assessment, which obviously goes beyond the so-called "cooperative relationship".

　　Is such a "cooperation agreement" reasonable and legal? Ma Sicheng, a lawyer of Shanghai Duanhe Duan (Jinan) Law Firm, said: The cooperation agreement does not conform to the provisions of the labor law. Now the legal judgment on such issues is in a transitional period and cannot be treated with a fixed eye. However, common problems such as injuries caused by riders, whether it is labor relations or labour relation, should be borne by the platform. At present, the people’s courts judge similar cases by using the legal provisions that laborers cause damage to people and providers cause damage to third parties.

　　At the National People’s Congress in 2022, Pi Jianlong, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of Beijing Jintai Law Firm, pointed out in the proposal that the development of flexible employment and platform employment deformed the original "standard labor relations" and led to the establishment of multiple labor relations. In July, 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other eight departments jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Safeguarding the Labor Security Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms, but Pi Jianlong pointed out that the Guiding Opinions are policy norms and are not legally mandatory. It is necessary to further determine the protection of the rights and interests of workers in new formats in law and give them "strong protection" in the labor law.
