Wheel hub deformation can be repaired, but replacement is recommended. Below is a partial introduction Wheel Hub Correction: The stress point of the wheel hub is the spoke. If the spoke is not bent or deformed, it does not affect usage. Rim deformation can be corrected. Wheel hub deformation repair involves using a correction machine to adjust the up-and-down and left-and-right wobble values within the standard range. Correction Method: First, pad the dented area with sponge or cloth, then use a hammer to flatten the dented part, followed by applying body filler (putty). Find the roundness on the wheel hub, smooth out the uneven areas, then roughen the inside with sandpaper in preparation for painting. Let the putty dry completely, then spray the entire wheel hub. After the paint dries, a "new" wheel hub is born. Influencing Factors: Wheel hub deformation is often caused by driving too fast over potholes. It is advised that car owners take care of their wheel hubs by slowing down when encountering potholes and avoiding excessive speed in general. If the edge of the wheel hub is deformed, it is recommended to repair it promptly to avoid affecting usage.

Where is the drainage hole of the Kodiaq door located?

The drainage hole of the Kodiaq door is located under the door panel. Here is a related introduction about the door drainage hole: Concept: The vehicle drainage hole is the outlet for draining accumulated water from the vehicle during rainy days. Generally, the drainage holes of a vehicle are located in the following areas: in front of the engine compartment at the windshield, in the four corners inside the sunroof, at the lower part of the front and rear doors, inside the fuel tank cap, at the bottom of the spare tire in the trunk, and in the gaps between the front and rear headlights and the body fenders. Precautions: There is usually a drainage hole under the fuel tank cap. If it gets clogged, water may accumulate in the fuel tank during car washing or rainy weather, potentially causing damage to the fuel tank. The spare tire in the trunk is generally located in a relatively low part of the vehicle. When the car passes through water, if the water level rises above the headlights, water may seep in and reach the interior of the car. The drainage holes in this area are rarely used.

Why does the BMW 5 Series show a coolant warning when the coolant level is sufficient?

BMW 5 Series shows a coolant warning when the coolant level is sufficient due to insufficient water in the engine cooling system. Here is some relevant information about coolant: Main functions of coolant: It provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system. It prevents scale formation and reduces radiator temperature. It ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Therefore, when the coolant is low, it directly affects the radiator's cooling efficiency. When the water temperature is too high, the red coolant warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. If the engine is not turned off and continues to run, it may cause engine seizure and damage. Coolant replacement cycle: The coolant replacement cycle should follow the manufacturer's manual. Typically, it should be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers, with the longest interval being every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers. A few car manufacturers offer coolant that supports lifetime replacement, only requiring regular checks. Since this type of coolant has slightly poorer fluidity, it is important to ensure the cooling system's circulation and heat dissipation are functioning properly. Regularly monitor the coolant level to ensure it stays between the minimum and maximum marks.
