Cars are not afraid of getting wet in the rain. The only part that might get damaged by rain is the car's paint. Although current environmental pollution is quite severe, and rainwater contains some acidic substances that can cause certain damage to the car's paint, this damage is negligible. Rainwater Testing: Before leaving the factory, cars undergo similar rainwater testing to prevent the paint from being corroded by water. Heavily Polluted Areas: In some heavily polluted areas, the air contains a lot of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and dust particles. These rise into the clouds and condense into acid rain, which falls on the car body. Prolonged exposure to rain without timely cleaning can corrode the car's paint. Car paint corroded by acid rain will age, lose its luster, or even crack. Therefore, it's advisable to rinse the car body after rain. If the car is parked outdoors, you can buy a car cover to protect it from rain, dust, and sunlight, effectively safeguarding the car.

At what sub-zero temperature does No. 0 diesel freeze?

No. 0 diesel freezes at zero degrees Celsius. The freezing of diesel is referred to as crystallization. The grade of diesel is named after the freezing point of the oil product, so No. 0 diesel begins to crystallize at 0 degrees Celsius. Automotive diesel is the specialized fuel for diesel engine vehicles. Compared to gasoline engines, diesel engines have higher thermal efficiency, better power performance, greater power output, durability, reliability, and superior cleanliness. The main difference between diesel and gasoline engines lies in the ignition method. In diesel engines, diesel fuel ignites spontaneously upon contact with compressed high-temperature air, hence they are called compression-ignition engines. Gasoline engines, on the other hand, ignite the air-fuel mixture using spark plugs, making them spark-ignition engines.

What to Do When the Roadside Emission Test Shows Exceeding Limits?

If caught with excessive emissions, you will be subject to corresponding fines and a deduction of 3 points. Below are the reasons for excessive emissions: 1. Use of inferior fuel: Using low-quality fuel can lead to incomplete combustion in the engine, resulting in carbon deposits. When we notice an unusually strong smell from the exhaust, we should go to a certified repair shop for inspection and timely resolution. 2. Clogged catalytic converter: A clogged catalytic converter and malfunctioning oxygen sensor are also causes of excessive emissions. We should first check the OBD system, then flush the catalytic converter, clean the fuel injectors, clean the throttle body, intake manifold, etc., and add a lubrication system repair and protection agent.

DCT Transmission: Dry or Wet Type?

DCT transmissions are divided into two categories: dry and wet types. More information about DCT transmissions is as follows: Dry Clutch: A dry clutch uses air to cool the clutch. In use, the clutch must engage and disengage from the power source smoothly and effortlessly. It should not overheat even when operating under short periods of partial engagement. The advantages include lower manufacturing costs and higher mechanical transmission efficiency. The disadvantages are that operation requires mastering certain techniques, can be more cumbersome, and has a higher failure rate. Wet Clutch: The advantages are ease of operation and a lower failure rate. The disadvantages include higher manufacturing costs and lower mechanical transmission efficiency.
