Porsche 911 GT3

Porsche 911 GT3

Porsche has developed a new hybrid version of the model 911 GT3 R. Sport car was equipped with two electric motors as one of the driving force and will be exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Endurance test was started before entering the summer.

Porsche 911 GT3 R is not a full hybrid, like Toyota Prius. The difference, Porsche pinned on the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) as he had used a particular team in F1. Only, activator of flywheel generator used.

Generator rotor spinning to 40,000 rpm, combined with the brake Generative, within 7 seconds the energy was sent to the electric motor.

Machine that were piled in the back of a capacity of 4000 cc powered 480 HP. While the two electric motors mounted on the front and produces 120kW or 161 HP.

For owners of Honda City in Indonesia, the car will be a recall by PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM). The numbers are not small, 3240 units of production in 2007 and 2008. Trigger, there is the potential damage to the frame system (power windows).

Indonesia became the first country to do a recall (recall to repair) of the City, after the principals in Japan, Honda Motor Co. (HMC), announced a similar treatment to the Honda Jazz which amounted to 646,000 units. Both products (Jazz and the City) had the same problems due to short-circuit on the frame components (power windows).

Director of Marketing and After Sales Service PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) to Kompas.com Jonfis Fandy, Monday (1/2/2010), said a recall is only for the City lawas model output in 2007 and 2008. HPM states continue to increase their responsibilities related to consumer product problem.

“Recall is not a crime, a recall is a consumer right to know whether or not their products. So even the slightest problem, even if only potentially harmful to consumers, recall is the obligation of the producers,” said Jonfis.

Explained by Jonfis, damage to the power window started happening in Northern Ireland at the 2007 Jazz products ago. A driver accidentally spilled soda liquid into the window and the water seeped into the side of the window and mengantong near the power window device. When driving, at a certain speed the water can rise to the surface, touching the electrical system, and cause a short-circuit.

“Another reason could also occur if the driver does not decrease as the car windows during rain, so water enters through the side door. It is also potentially short-circuit occurrence. So the components used in Jazz is also used in the old city,” explained Jonfis.

HPM has been supplying the entire product sedans, including the City through imports as a whole (completely built-up / CBU) from Thailand. During 2007 and 2008, recorded at 3240 City units sold in Indonesia so that the amount to be withdrawn.

Don't let something like this

Don't let something like this

You may have stuck in highway. For driver, the traffic queue’s face, may be an indicator pointer suddenly the engine temperature rises toward writing aka “H”. Meanwhile, the car did not have a needle indicator. Notified by the heat engine image “pole with three stripes on the top and underneath as there is water” glowing red.

It indicates the condition of your vehicle through ‘over-heating’. If it were so, do not force the car because it can cause path broken machine. Well, for that, follow the steps below.

1. Pull the car immediately and directly off the engine.

2. Open the hood and turn the ignition key to position “ON”. Note, if the electric fan rotates normally or weakening.

3. If the electric fan was not working, check fuses, thermoswitch, and relays. If constraints are not a fan electrical systems found, then the step is to disconnect the socket EMERGENCY electric fan and connect it directly to pole position (+) and negative (-) battery cables.

Note the direction of fan rotation to match the cable under normal conditions. If the fan does not spin, it means that the electric motor is damaged.

4. Note the leakage that may occur in the machine. If you use radiator coolant, leak detection becomes easier because the young colored liquid is seen.

5. Another possibility of leakage occurs in water pump, radiator hoses, radiator, and hoses stuck.

6. If there are leaks, EMERGENCY step is to remove the radiator cap. Remember, do not jump. Do it slowly until the pressure decreases. If already open, then add water, uncovered, then the engine starter.

Indirectly aimed at installing the radiator cap so that the pressure on the system is not too high. Next, take it to the nearest garage.
