It is advisable not to repair and use a burned car. If the vehicle has suffered severe burning, many components may either be rendered useless or experience degraded performance after the fire. While some parts can be replaced, not all can be, and the unreplaced components may still pose risks. Moreover, the repair costs can be extremely high, and even after repairs, there is no guarantee that the vehicle's performance will return to its original state, making the repair effort highly inefficient. The reasons for a car catching fire may include the following: Fuel Leakage: Fuel leakage can lead to severe car fires, especially in vulnerable areas such as where fuel pipes rub against the car body or at junctions between fixed and non-fixed sections of the pipes. Overheating of Ignition Coils: During engine operation, ignition coils can become extremely hot. If there is a leakage, the temperature at the leakage point rises, and contact with oil sludge or other materials can cause a fire. Aging Wiring: Aging, overloaded, or worn-out low-voltage wiring can lead to grounding leakage, generating significant heat at the grounding point. If this heat comes into contact with flammable materials, it can result in a fire. Impact: When a car is involved in a collision, flammable materials may leak and come into contact with an ignition source, leading to a fire.

What to Do When the Caliper Piston Doesn't Retract?

Caliper piston not retracting may indicate an issue with the brake pads, and it's advisable to visit a 4S shop for repairs. The brake caliper is the component that applies force to the brake disc, with the hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder ultimately acting on the piston inside the caliper. In ordinary family cars, the brake caliper piston is located on only one side of the caliper, and from the outside, only the caliper and the brake pads fixed to it are visible.
