✅ Function The main purpose of the inlet manifold is to evenly distribute the intake air charge into each intake port of the cylinder head. Swirl flaps are fitted to the intake manifold, close to where it connects to the cylinder head. The positions of the flaps are controlled by an actuator, depending on the engine speed and load. The swirl flaps are closed at idle speed and gradually open as the engine speed increases, until reaching the fully-open position (parallel to the direction of airflow). This introduces turbulence into the intake charge, creating a good air/fuel mix at low-to-mid engine speeds - which in turn helps to reduce vehicle emissions #SWAG #Quality #Engine

🚗 Signs of a Damaged Cylinder Head Gasket in Your Car Engine If you're experiencing engine troubles, it might be due to a damaged cylinder head gasket. Watch for these indicators: Overheating Engine: The engine runs hot even with coolant in the radiator. 1. Bubbles in the Coolant: You notice bubbles in the cooling system. 2. Oil-Water Mix: There's a mix of oil and coolant. 3. White Exhaust Smoke: White smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe. 4. Rusty Spark Plugs: Spark plugs show signs of rust. 5. Water Leaks: Water is leaking from the engine. 6. Low Engine Oil: The engine oil level is lower than normal. 7. Reduced Power: You experience a drop in engine torque and power. Stay vigilant to address these issues early and keep your engine running smoothly! 🔧 #CarMaintenance #EngineCare #AutomotiveTips #VehicleHealth #AutomotiveDiagnostics #CarCare #VehicleMaintenance #AutoTips #EngineProblems

Have you checked your brake fluid recently?🛢️ Don't wait until it's too late, get your brake fluid topped up today! 🔥 SCT Brake Fluid (SCT4) Only £3.00 + VAT = £3.60! Call in store for your top up! 🏍️ How to Check Your Brake Fluid Level 🔍 Park Safely: Ensure your vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool. Locate the Brake Fluid Reservoir: Open your car's hood and find the brake fluid reservoir. It’s usually a small, translucent container located near the back of the engine bay, close to the driver's side. Check the Fluid Level: Look at the side of the reservoir to see the "MIN" and "MAX" lines. The brake fluid should be between these two marks. If it's below the "MIN" line, it's time to add more fluid. Inspect the Fluid Condition: Brake fluid should be a clear, amber colour. If it looks dark or dirty, it may be contaminated and should be replaced. #BrakeFluid #CheckYourBrakeFluid #HowToCheckBrakeFluid #BrakeFluidTopUp #AutobitsMotorstore

Did You Notice Water Dripping From Your Car Exhaust Pipe. Is this completely normal? When is it Not Normal? While water coming out of your car exhaust system will be normal in most cases, there are situations where it is not. For instance, if your car’s engine is discharging a lot of water, such as a cup of water per minute, it is gas a good sign that you’ve got a deeper problem. If you notice that the water isn’t clear, it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out, and is a sign of a damaged gasket in the engine (usually a head gasket). It could also be a sign of a cracked head. Both of these can allow engine coolant to leak in. Book Your Slot Today. Daniel Laban The Automotive Doctor, +254 722 949 906 www.automotivedoctor.co.ke

Is “leakage” a problem in your exhaust manifold?   In truck engines, exhaust manifolds are divided into two or three pieces which need to be connected by slip joints. The extremely high temperatures and pressures during operation cause thermal expansion of the system: if the connections aren’t sealed tightly, leakage will happen and the manifold might warp or crack.   Our slip joint seals assure extremely low leakage under these utmost conditions.   Click https://lnkd.in/e9HcVHyS to read how our seals take your challenge. #TruckEnginesMarket #DieselEngines #EngineParts

Two more areas to check if your boat engine isn't starting: Check the starter motor. If the battery and ignition are in good working order and you turn the starter key, and the engine doesn't turn it could be the starter. I have used a hammer to tap the starter a few times and then try to start the engine again. If the engine cranks, then there may be a dead spot in the starter, and it would need to be rebuilt or replaced. If the engine doesn't turn you could remove the starter and have it tested. You will also want to check the engine to see if there are any loose or damaged parts. #powerboats

🔧 Tech Tip: Distributor Rotor 🔧 When diagnosing issues with your distributor rotor, watch for signs like engine misfires, rough idling, or a decline in fuel efficiency. These symptoms often indicate that the rotor may be worn or damaged, disrupting the precise timing necessary for optimal engine performance. To ensure your distributor rotor functions correctly, regularly inspect it for signs of wear or carbon buildup and check the alignment with the distributor cap. Replacing the rotor as part of routine maintenance can prevent more serious engine problems and maintain your vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency. #DistributorRotor #AutoRepair #CarMaintenance #VehicleCare #EnginePerformance #CarRepairTips #IgnitionSystem #AutomotiveMaintenance #PerformanceAuto

Vehicle vibrating?! Please read below 👇 . . . Worn or dirty spark plugs could be the cause a petrol car's engine to misfire in one or more cylinders, which can possibly cause vibrations when the car is idling or at running speeds. The easiest solution is to replace your spark plugs and check the related wiring. Engine vibrations can also be due to the air and fuel systems foe the vehicle. . . . #explore #fyp #vehiclevibrating
