Abnormal exhaust pipe noise can’t cure Peugeot 307′ s chronic illness.

  As the saying goes, long-term practice in practical use is the best way to test whether a new car is mature in all aspects. Dongfeng Peugeot 307 sedan is a sedan derived from the prototype hatchback 307, which has been listed in China for more than a year. In the long-term use of many consumers, the domestic Peugeot 307 not only shows its excellent performance in appearance, space and handling, but also exposes some problems.

  As a family car, the car environment of different consumers is naturally different, and it is inevitable that there will be some minor problems in the car. However, what is pointed out here is the "stubborn disease" that the manufacturer still has not solved after Peugeot 307 went on the market for more than one year-the abnormal noise of the exhaust pipe joint of the 1.6 model (the problem has not been found in the 2.0 model). Many car owners have been troubled by this problem. Although it does not endanger the driving safety, the sound of "squeaking and twisting" has a great "spiritual blow" to the car owners-who wants the car that he spent more than 100,000 yuan to drive will "squeak and twist"?

  Performance of "stubborn disease":

  This problem generally appears in the 1.6-displacement car of Dongfeng Peugeot 307. According to relevant network surveys, almost half of the vehicles have this problem. The performance is that after the new car runs about 4000 kilometers (some cars even start to make noises after 1000 kilometers), in the case of "cold car", when the driver performs normal driving operations that can cause the engine to vibrate, such as stepping on the clutch pedal, feeding oil, collecting oil and shifting gears, there is a "squeaking" sound from below the front of the car, and the sound disappears after the car is warmed up. The sound is different according to the severity of the situation. Due to the good sound insulation of Peugeot 307 car body, only a weak sound can be heard after closing the window; However, with the deterioration of the situation, when closing and opening the window, you can hear the obvious and sharp "squeaking" sound (metal rubbing sound, especially in quiet places such as underground garage).

  Abnormal sound is ubiquitous and easy to diagnose;

  For this problem, the after-sales maintenance department of Dongfeng Peugeot is obviously very familiar with it, and even just need to briefly explain the situation on the phone, and the experienced maintenance reception consultant can immediately judge that this is "abnormal noise of the exhaust pipe joint of the 1.6 model".

 

  Dongfeng Peugeot 307 car with 1.6-liter engine, the joint between the head section and the middle section of the exhaust pipe is subject to engine vibration. After a period of time, the gasket at the joint is damaged, and the friction between the metal parts of the head section and the middle section of the exhaust pipe will produce a loud noise. When the car is cold, the exhaust pipe temperature is low and the abnormal sound is obvious; After the hot car, the temperature of the exhaust pipe rises, the metal parts expand, the two sections of the exhaust pipe are closely combined, and the abnormal sound disappears.

  4S shop voice: the solution is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause;

  Strictly speaking, there is no radical solution to this problem so far. The 4S shop said: At present, the solution is to replace the worn gasket at the joint between the head section of the exhaust pipe and the middle section of the exhaust pipe. However, this method treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. After the vehicle travels for about 4,000 kilometers, there will still be obvious abnormal noise, so the gasket can only be replaced.

At present, the method of replacing gasket is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure. 

  Consumer’s voice: Replacing gaskets for free is just a tactic to slow down the war. What should I do after the warranty period?

  As the abnormal sound of the 1.6-liter 307 exhaust pipe is widespread, many 307 car owners in major online forums are also talking about it. Some car owners who bought their cars earlier have carried out two or three maintenance operations for this problem, but practice has proved that replacing gaskets free of charge is only a delaying tactic and cannot cure the problem. This also leads to a rather sensitive question-what should I do after the warranty period?

  At present, the warranty period of Dongfeng Peugeot 307 is 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. During the warranty period, car owners who encounter this problem can go to the 4S shop to replace the related spare parts for free. However, since the problem cannot be cured, after the warranty period, how to solve the spare parts and working hours when encountering similar problems? Since the 307 has been on the market for less than two years, and the mileage of most 1.6-liter vehicles does not exceed 60,000 kilometers, there is no reference method to solve such problems after the warranty period.

  What is the root of "stubborn disease"? Can the root cause be removed? The manufacturer did not make a clear statement:

  There is a common problem of abnormal exhaust pipe noise in 1.6 models, and the manufacturer has not expressed his position at present. Through the communication with the 4S stores of Dongfeng Peugeot, it has been known that this problem does exist widely. However, the relevant parties related to the after-sales service of 307 cars, including manufacturers and 4S stores, did not disclose this incident for more than one year after the new car went on the market, but told consumers that "this is a common problem" and "there is no effective solution" after the vehicle had problems and consumers took the initiative to drive the problematic car to the door.

  It is reasonable for the seller to keep quiet beforehand, and consumers will not complain too much about it, but what consumers are most concerned about is how to solve this problem.

  What is the reason for the abnormal noise of the exhaust pipe of 1.6 model? Whether it is a design defect or the quality of the gasket parts at the exhaust pipe joint is not up to standard, the vehicle manufacturer has not expressed his position. How to deal with it in the future? Can this problem be cured? After the warranty period, do consumers need to bear the burden of repairing at their own expense? Vehicle manufacturers also did not express their views.

  "Illness" does not constitute a recall condition, and consumers expect a perfect solution.

  Presumably, manufacturers must know this problem, and more or less attention should be paid to it. The fact that it took more than a year to cure the problem tells us that there is no effective cure for the abnormal sound of the 1.6-liter 307 exhaust pipe at present.

  The French prototype 307 has been produced and sold for many years, but it has not been heard that the same problem generally exists. In this analysis, it should be that after the domestic sedan 307 lengthens the car body, the middle section of the exhaust pipe that runs through the car body is also lengthened accordingly, which leads to the abnormal noise problem of the exhaust pipe of the 1.6-liter car that was not expected during the design (the structure of the 2.0 car is different, and there is no news of similar situation). As the "leading part" in the incident, it is too early to draw a conclusion whether there is any problem with the quality of the gasket at the joint of the exhaust pipe (after all, it is more than enough time for manufacturers to choose a new supplier who can provide high-quality parts for more than one year).

  1.6 The abnormal sound "stubborn disease" of the vehicle model did not affect the driving safety of the vehicle and did not constitute the domestic recall conditions for car products, so Dongfeng Peugeot did not recall this incident; Even if the manufacturer intends to recall, there is no effective way to solve this problem at present (it is foreseeable that the number of 307 cars involved in this incident will be very high once recalled).

  Consumers who don’t care much about the abnormal noise can continue to use it (it won’t affect the driving safety), but after all, quite a few consumers are still reluctant to drive a squeaky car to attract the attention of passers-by (not to mention more than 100 thousand mid-level cars). Before the warranty period, consumers can "tirelessly" go back to the 4S shop to temporarily solve the abnormal sound by replacing parts for free, but after the warranty period? Consumers should never pay for themselves every 5,000 kilometers and go to a maintenance station-unless the 4S shop makes consumers feel confident before selling the car and the two sides reach a tacit understanding, and tells them: "There is a probability that the exhaust pipe of this car will sound abnormally, and how to deal with it after the warranty period is inconclusive." We don’t expect manufacturers to actively expose the shortcomings of their products before selling cars, but manufacturers always have to solve problems that should not appear in products.

  It’s not a big deal. The key is whether Dongfeng Peugeot can find a thorough solution to the problem-including how to technically solve the abnormal noise problem of the 1.6-liter 307 exhaust pipe (consumers are most afraid to hear: "This car is like this, it can’t be cured, and there is nothing to do." ); It also includes the problem of how to protect the rights and interests of vehicle owners during the warranty period once it can’t be solved in time technically (consumers are also afraid to hear: "Whether to pay at their own expense is still inconclusive, and we will talk about it after the warranty period." )。 As for cars, there are always small problems, but the ubiquitous "chronic diseases" manufacturers should really pay attention to them. It is reasonable to say that more than a year is not short, and the voice that should not exist should still make it disappear.

  The following remarks are from online forums:

  "The original ball head had a graphite layer, but it would soon be rubbed off, and the remaining wire friction would make abnormal noise. Theoretically, Fukang is the same as the silencer ball head used in 1.6 of 307, at least the same thing is installed on the production line, but abnormal noise appeared on 307, which may require a lot of test runs by manufacturers to completely solve it."

  "At present, some 4S are trying some new methods, and the effect is OK. Generally, there will be no problem running for 2 or 3,000 kilometers, but in theory, it is also a temporary solution."

  "Please pay attention to the tx that directly replaces the fixing screw and adopts the method of screwing the fixing screw, which is easy to cause the exhaust pipe to resonate in the speed range of 2600-2800, that is, to make a buzz. 4S experts have already denied this method from practice, ha ha, but it is a kind of high-frequency abnormal sound replaced by another kind of low-frequency abnormal sound, which has not been solved at all … "

  "Although it has been running for 4000 kilometers after trying a new method in 4S, there is no problem. However, 4S also admits that theoretically, this problem has not been fundamentally solved. "

  Because of my keen ears, my situation is quite special. It should be the first one in Beijing to replace the ball head according to the East Standard method. Before that, it was also fixed with replacement screws, which was invalid. Because of the heavy responsibility entrusted by 4s to test the East Standard solution, a total of 6 ball heads were replaced before and after, and the shortest one was forced to be replaced after running 500 kilometers, hehe!

  "Because 4s has almost no imported 1.6 cubs to compare, this important task can only be handed over to the East Standard manufacturers for repeated road tests, alas …"

  "In September 2005, the car changed the exhaust pipe joint ball head twice. It was not obvious for the first time. It felt as if there was abnormal noise on the left front wheel. After 4s, the exhaust pipe joint ball head was replaced. After 2-3 thousand kilometers, there was obvious abnormal noise, which appeared when the car was cold and the gear was shifted in a low gear. Replace the exhaust pipe joint ball head again (the replaced ball head has been worn out). "

The college entrance examination countdown is 10 days! Come on!

Reporter: Zhang Ni

In another 10 days, the national college entrance examination in 2021 will officially kick off.

In view of this year’s college entrance examination, all localities have deployed ahead of schedule, and epidemic prevention and discipline examination are still the key tasks to be closely watched this year.

The college entrance examination returns to June, and the arrangements vary from place to place.

According to the notice previously issued by the Ministry of Education, the national college entrance examination in 2021 is scheduled to start on June 7. This is after the college entrance examination was postponed to July last year due to the COVID-19 epidemic, and the college entrance examination returned to June.

The specific subject examination schedule is: June 7, 9:00 to 11:30 Chinese; Math from 15:00 to 17:00. On June 8, from 9:00 to 11:30, liberal arts comprehensive/science comprehensive; Foreign languages from 15:00 to 17:00.

If there is a foreign language listening test, it should be arranged before the start of the written foreign language test. The names of examination subjects in all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are the same as those in the national unified examination subjects, which must be consistent with the national unified examination schedule.

This year, the unified college entrance examination in Beijing will be held on June 7 and 8, and the general high school level grade examination will be held on June 9 and 10.

In Shandong, three national unified examination subjects (Chinese, Mathematics and Foreign Languages) will be held on June 7 -8, in which the foreign language listening test was successfully completed on January 8, and the foreign language test on June 8 only took the written part; The "6-for-3" ordinary high school level examination will be held on June 9 -10.

The examination time in Hunan is from June 7 to 9, lasting for three days. After the college entrance examination, students will be admitted according to the "3+1+2" mode.

8 places welcome new college entrance examination landing questions to enhance openness

This year, the new college entrance examination was launched in the third batch of comprehensive reform provinces such as Hebei, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong and Chongqing.

According to the previously announced implementation plan, eight provinces will adopt the "3+1+2" model.

"3" is the national unified examination subject Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, which all students must take; "1" is the preferred subject, and candidates must choose one of the physics and history subjects in the high school level examination; "2" is a re-selected subject, and candidates can choose two of the four subjects of chemistry, biology, ideology and politics and geography.

In addition to the above-mentioned provinces will usher in the new college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education has also put forward new requirements for this year’s college entrance examination papers.

In terms of propositions, according to the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Enrollment of Colleges and Universities in 2021" previously issued by the Ministry of Education,In 2021, the college entrance examination proposition should strengthen the examination and guidance of students’ all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor, enhance the openness and flexibility of examination questions, and guide to reduce the phenomenon of rote memorization and "mechanical brushing".

In addition, the Ministry of Education also proposed that the pilot universities of the Strong Foundation Program should improve the enrollment procedures and methods, and strive to select outstanding students who are "ambitious, interested and talented".

Safeguarding the fairness and justice of the college entrance examination and cracking down on the criminal activities of "helping the exam"

After ten years of hard study, I once went to to be no.1. The college entrance examination is related to the fate of every ordinary examinee, and how to maintain the fairness and justice of the college entrance examination is also the focus of social attention in recent years.

The notice previously issued by the Ministry of Education has clearly requested to strengthen the departmental cooperation mechanism.Focus on special actions such as purifying the network environment involved in the examination, cracking down on the sale of cheating equipment, purifying the surrounding environment of the test center, and cracking down on cheating for the test, and comprehensively manage the examination environment.

On May 8th, the Ministry of Education, together with relevant departments, held a national teleconference on the safety of college entrance examination. Chen Baosheng, Minister of Education, pointed out that it is necessary to crack down on the criminal activities of "helping exams", crack down on cheating in exams, and carry out in-depth education on honesty exams.

At the same time, on the eve of the college entrance examination, special actions have been carried out in various places one after another, and the discipline of the examination room has been closely watched.

For example, in Shandong, multi-departments have jointly launched special actions, including strict examination management, cracking down on the production and sale of cheating equipment, cracking down on illegal and criminal activities of cheating in examinations, cleaning up and rectifying training institutions for exam assistance, and purifying the network environment involved in exams.

Hunan requires that candidates should focus on the entrance clearance, and the security requirements should be put in place in accordance with the regulations to prevent candidates from carrying mobile phones and other high-tech cheating tools into the examination room.

At the same time, strengthen the identity verification of candidates, take multi-card verification, man-machine comparison, and conditionally take measures such as face recognition system to prevent substitute exams.

With the deputy examiner for epidemic prevention, vaccination … This year’s epidemic prevention is more stringent.

Last year, the special college entrance examination in the context of the epidemic situation still impressed many people vividly. This year, although the domestic epidemic situation has stabilized, the epidemic prevention work of the college entrance examination has been repeatedly emphasized.

In view of the epidemic prevention work in the examination room, the notice issued by the Ministry of Education requires strengthening epidemic prevention measures in places such as proposition writing, examination center examination room and marking, so as to ensure the life safety and health of the majority of candidates and examination staff.

In addition, the Ministry of Education also requires the daily temperature measurement and physical health monitoring of candidates and examiners.According to the requirements, each test center is equipped with an assistant examiner for epidemic prevention, necessary isolation examination rooms and facilities are set up, and sufficient epidemic prevention materials are equipped.

Conscientiously implement measures such as temperature detection, comprehensive disinfection, ventilation and spacing in the examination room.Carry out full coverage epidemic prevention education and training to ensure that all candidates and examiners are familiar with epidemic prevention knowledge and operation procedures.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the national college entrance examination in 2021, all localities have also made epidemic prevention arrangements in advance.

For example, Jiangxi Education Examinations Institute has previously issued a notice, clarifying that this year’s college entrance examination will fully disinfect, ventilate and keep the distance between the examination rooms, and at the same time, carry out full coverage epidemic prevention education and epidemic prevention training.

In Shenyang, Liaoning, each test center has established a health and epidemic prevention group, which consists of an assistant examiner in charge of epidemic prevention, an epidemic prevention staff and a medical staff.

In addition, the faculty and staff of each test center will all be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine before the end of this month.

Intern: Don’t be an annoying "goose with a dull head"

Intern: Don’t be an annoying "goose with a dull head"

There are always new faces in the office, so don’t ask, either interns or new employees on probation.

After a flash of two months, some of the new faces got what they wanted and became familiar faces in the square opposite; Some of them are a passer-by in the office who is forgotten in a blink of an eye; The worst thing is those who have been away for a long time and are still impressive: "It’s so wise of the boss not to let that person stay!"

In most cases, it’s not because everyone is narrow-minded, nor because that person’s ability is poor, mainly because he or she really doesn’t know how to deal with people. "Being a colleague with this kind of person is a disaster!"

A "goose with a dull head" that won’t roll over.

Audit by Daniel accounting firm

That time, there was a master of economics who was still on probation and went on a business trip with us to do projects in other places. At lunch time, as usual, we have to wait for the customer to have dinner together, but the customer is in a meeting, so we are not in a hurry, while continuing our work, we will wait slowly.

Everyone kept their heads down, but the master stood out from the crowd, looking around with his head held high and fidgeting. Finally, he couldn’t help saying to me, "When shall we finish?" Before he could answer, he changed his excited tone and raised his voice and said to everyone, "Well, I’ll sell it to everyone!" What do you want? " Hey! He didn’t want to think about it either. The client’s company is in the suburbs, and there is no shop within a few kilometers. Besides, we didn’t call ourselves hungry. We came to practice, so we were absent-minded!

That night, I worked overtime in the hotel. I stared at the computer, and he didn’t have much work at hand. He watched TV and glanced at me. Finally, he couldn’t help but ask, "What can I do for you?"

"have you done everything Senior arranged for you?" "Ready! Done! " "Then look at the working papers and learn more." After a silence, he suddenly said, "I’ll go to Senior and see what else she can do for me!" " Dizzy! It’s almost midnight! Sure enough, within two minutes, he turned back despondently. It turned out that Senior was taking a bath when he knocked at the door, so he had to open the door with a bath towel. He didn’t show any signs. At thirteen o’clock, he asked nervously, "What can I do?" Without saying anything, Senior slammed the door tightly …

"capable" "gifted scholar"

Staff of Henry IT company

Half a year ago, our department recruited two new people at the same time, one was a master of computer science in Tsinghua, and the other was an undergraduate in a third-rate university. Now, undergraduate students have turned positive, while master Tsinghua has long since disappeared.

The master’s degree is excellent. On the first day of work, a colleague asked him to use Excel to calculate a batch of data. He took a look and said, "This is too simple. I won’t do it. Do it yourself!" The undergraduate is a little girl with a sweet smile. If she doesn’t understand anything, she will ask her colleagues cleverly. When they answer, she will copy it in a small notebook and take it out for digestion during lunch break.

In the first half month, I didn’t see what the master was doing, except sending some funny emails to everyone with the company’s mailbox and always burying my head in typing. Half a month later, before the end of a regular departmental meeting, the manager fought back a smile and said, "A new employee in our department wrote a copy of" Ten Problems in Marketing Management "and gave it to the boss, who asked me to convey it at the meeting." He greeted the master who sat straight and looked proud. "Remember to send your own writing to everyone after the meeting …"

MM, an undergraduate, sat by and listened with a smile all the time. The meeting was held late that day, and there were only a few plates of leftovers when I went downstairs to eat. She suggested that everyone go to a small restaurant to have a rare tooth, and everyone responded. On the way, she went to the bathroom, and when we asked AA to pay the bill, she smiled and said, "I did. Everyone has a meal sticker, and it’s the same for you next time. "

At the end of the three-month probation period, the manager talked to the master about salary. His old man was rude: "Although I have a high degree, I don’t have high salary requirements, as long as the monthly salary is 7,000." After tax! " The manager’s face changed: "Our company does not talk about academic qualifications, but only about contributions. Even aunts who sweep the floor will get a reasonable salary as long as they do well. I’m sorry, I don’t think you are worth the price … "

"Are you almost finished?"

Miss Wang, media personnel

The most annoying intern I have ever seen in my life is in a public relations company.

That time I went to an activity, I arrived early, and my boss was busy around. She asked a new face standing by to greet me. The little boy introduced that he had just come to this company as an intern. If you need anything, just tell him. Just after a few commonplaces, he pulled into our newspaper: "Oh! Are you from XX? Are you almost finished? "

I froze for a while, making sure I heard it right. "Why do you …?"

"Ah, I used to practice in another newspaper, and they were very prosperous at that time, but it didn’t take long for me to practice, and it went downhill! I think your newspaper is so famous … "

I rolled my eyes and was not interested in talking to him. Later, in a chat, I casually mentioned it to his boss. She gasped and said, "I fired this child the next day. Do you know about verbal abuse? He told a reporter from another magazine that he didn’t have your good temper, so he found me on the spot with a pale face … "

Interns use me as a gun.

Amanda, marketing clerk

That little girl Stella, who has been an intern in our company for three days, "forced" everyone to walk around her-there are too many words!

Some colleagues privately said that she was "a rabbit" and her ears stood high all day. No matter what people were discussing, she would suddenly appear and insert a few words with confidence. Talking about advertising arrangements, she said she could go to the railway station to advertise, because there is a large flow of people there-please! Will the piles of migrant workers there buy our cosmetics? Complaining about the supplier, she interjected and said, "Forget it, do you want me to contact you?"-the activity is halfway through, so what a ghost! The most exaggerated thing is that she will ask "Is there any activity that I can cooperate with you recently"-an intern, how can there be "cooperation"?

At the dinner table, she made an open-minded inquiry, asked about the activities we were doing from the most basic definition of marketing, and then added "just right": "I read a book before, and it said …, is that what you mean?" -all know, why ask!

Later, it was getting too much! That time, she went to Frank, who was in charge of the promotion activities, to make a statement, but he bounced back because her suggestion was completely impossible to implement. "I’m bored to death by suggesting that I don’t’ pick up the scorpion’." Frank complained. Unexpectedly, she turned to me and asked me, "I have a suggestion. Can you help me transfer it to Frank?" "Why don’t you just tell him?" She blurted out, "He doesn’t seem very interested. Maybe it would be better if you helped me?" My heart is on fire-Frank bought my face, and on the surface, he naturally promised. However, as an intern, you dare to use me as a gun?

Be successful in my official career during the probation period.

The first 90 days of entering a new company are the most important. If you follow these principles, you can be invincible in the workplace!

■ Absorb knowledge like a sponge.

You need to do your homework, which includes studying the company’s website, reading the annual report, and understanding competitors, products and services.

■ Remember the names of everyone you meet.

Write down the names of everyone you have seen in the past few months, and remember their characteristics and work-if you can accurately name everyone, you will be liked by the other party, and being liked by everyone is the key to ensuring career development.

■ Study interpersonal relationships like "Eight Bitches"

Make good use of your eyes and ears to get to know the influential people without titles in the company. But in any case, don’t get involved in right and wrong.

■ Learn like idolize.

The boss wears the same clothes as the people at the next higher level, but he can’t dress more ostentatiously than he does. Your job is just to make your immediate superior feel that you look like someone from their company.

■ Work as hard as an ox

As a newcomer, you must make an impression of hard work. You need to arrive early and leave late.

In addition, there are some things that colleagues can do, but if you do, people will think that you are too idle. For example, forwarding humorous emails or making personal calls.

■ Activities that surround the company like flies.

This will show your enthusiasm for the company. But these activities had better be related to your work. If you are an intern in the marketing department, don’t be too interested in the media list of the public relations department, which will make people feel that you are looking forward to it.
