When a car is driving on the road, if the driver does not pay attention to the road conditions and encounters scattered glass shards, the tires generally will not be damaged after running over them. This is because during driving, car tires often come into contact with small stones and glass shards. Unless the debris is extremely sharp, it usually does not significantly affect the tires, as the tire tread is structurally robust and contains steel wires. Below are some precautions regarding tire purchase and usage: 1. When purchasing tires, always check the production date: Avoid buying tires with outdated production dates. Tires are rubber products and will age even if unused. 2. During regular use, frequently inspect tire pressure and the tire surface for any damage: The tire sidewall is relatively fragile, and if it is cut or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is minimal.

Can the VIN be changed?

Normally it cannot be changed, and even if altered, it won't match the original factory database. The VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric code, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. Through its combination of letters and numbers, the Vehicle Identification Number ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have identical numbers within 30 years, providing unique identification for each vehicle, hence it's often referred to as the "car's ID card". Here's what can be queried from the VIN: 1. Manufacturer information: It can reveal the manufacturer, brand, and type, as well as vehicle characteristics. 2. Body type details: It can show the vehicle category, series, body type, engine type, and restraint system type. 3. Model year information: It can display the vehicle's gross weight rating, braking system, check digit, model year, assembly plant, and serial number.

How to Claim Insurance Compensation for a Flooded Car Without Purchasing Water Wading Insurance?

If the car owner only purchases vehicle damage insurance, when the car is flooded, they can only receive compensation for damages to parts other than the engine. The repair costs for engine damage must be covered by the car owner themselves. Here are methods to identify a flooded car or an accident-damaged car: 1. Check the car locks: Look for signs of being pried open, damaged, or filled with glue. Then use the key to open each door to see if the locks are from the same set and if each door lock can be turned easily. Note that if turning is very difficult, or the key almost breaks before the door opens, it might be due to flooding, causing the central control motor to rust and malfunction. 2. Engine compartment: Inspect the mounting brackets for the lighting and signal lamp groups in the engine compartment for breaks or looseness. Check the wire connectors and sockets; if they contain a lot of mud or show rust spots, it may indicate a flooded car. 3. Engine compartment inspection: Examine the wires and vacuum pipes on the engine body, and check for mud traces in the gaps between the high-voltage ignition coils and spark plugs. Assess whether the aging and cracking of the pipelines match the car's age and if the fuel injector is securely fixed. Rust on springs can also help determine the likelihood of the car being flooded.

What are the symptoms of AT transmission slipping?

The symptoms of automatic transmission slipping are as follows: 1. When starting and pressing the accelerator pedal, the engine speed increases quickly, but the vehicle moves slowly; 2. When the vehicle is going uphill or accelerating sharply, the engine speed is high, but the vehicle moves slowly. The causes of internal slipping in an automatic transmission are as follows: 1. Long-term lack of maintenance: The accumulated sludge, impurities, and metal powder can cause severe wear on the clutch, brake, or one-way clutch, leading to slipping. 2. Adding or replacing with non-specified oil: Automatic transmissions require vehicle-specific oil. If a different type of oil is used, if the friction coefficient increases, it may cause gear shift shock; if the friction coefficient decreases, it may cause slipping.

Is It Harmful to Restart a Car After It Stalls in Water?

Restarting a car after it stalls in water may lead to water entering the exhaust pipe or engine damage. Here are methods to identify water-damaged or accident vehicles: 1. Inspect the car locks: Check for signs of forced entry, tampering, or glue injection. Then, use the key to open each door to verify if all locks are from the same set and if they turn smoothly. Note that if turning the key is difficult or nearly breaks it, this could indicate water damage causing rust in the central locking motor, leading to poor operation. 2. Engine compartment: Examine the mounting brackets of the compartment's lighting and signal lights for breaks or looseness. Inspect wire connectors and sockets; the presence of significant mud or rust spots may suggest a water-damaged vehicle. 3. Engine compartment evaluation: Check the wiring and vacuum pipes on the engine block, as well as the gaps between the high-voltage ignition coils and spark plugs for mud traces. Assess whether the aging and cracking of pipelines match the vehicle's age and inspect the fuel injector mounts. Rust on springs can also help determine the likelihood of water damage.
