Can a dent in the rear fender be repaired? Introduction to fenders: The fender is the outer body panel that covers the wheels, named for its resemblance in shape and position to bird wings on older car bodies. Based on installation location, they are divided into front fenders and rear fenders. The front fender is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum space for wheel rotation and movement. Therefore, designers use "wheel movement diagrams" based on the selected tire model and size to verify if the fender's design dimensions are appropriate. Precautions for rear fender repair: Confirm the cutting range—avoid cutting too much or too little, generally erring on the larger side, but be careful not to damage the inner lining or interior trim. When fitting the new part, pay attention to the alignment and overall aesthetics with the rear windshield, rear door, rear bumper, rear hood, and rear taillights, ensuring a perfect fit and a clear understanding of the process. Temporarily secure the part in all directions (up, down, left, right, front, and back). During welding, monitor for immediate deformation, especially when welding two or more surface joints. Remember to weld while observing and pay attention to welding techniques to avoid thermal expansion and contraction affecting the overall result, which could lead to irreversible errors.

What Causes Vehicle Body Shaking When Cold

Cold start shaking is fundamentally caused by poor combustion in the cylinders. Here are the key explanations regarding engine shaking:1. Low ignition energy at low engine temperatures: Insufficient engine temperature leads to inadequate fuel and lubricant temperatures, requiring more fuel injection during cold starts to meet power demands. Larger spark plug gaps result in weaker ignition energy.2. Improper air-fuel mixture ratio: Inaccurate fuel-air mixture occurs in both open-loop and closed-loop control systems. In closed-loop vehicles, the oxygen sensor requires a minimum operating temperature of 370°C. During cold starts, the exhaust pipe temperature doesn't reach this threshold, preventing the oxygen sensor from functioning.

What is the standard leakage current for a car?

The normal leakage current value for a car is 45 milliamperes. Below is a related introduction to the functions of a vehicle battery: 1. When starting the engine, it provides a strong starting current to the starter. 2. It assists the generator in supplying power to electrical equipment. 3. When the generator's terminal voltage is higher than that of the battery, it charges the battery. Below is a related introduction to vehicle battery maintenance: 1. Drive the vehicle regularly. Prolonged parking causes the battery's charge to gradually decrease, leading to potential discharge issues over time. 2. Minimize electrical usage after the vehicle is turned off. 3. Clean the vehicle battery regularly. 4. Replace the battery periodically.

What to Pay Attention to When Parking During a Typhoon?

Precautions for parking during a typhoon are as follows: 1. Do not park near unstable walls: Unstable walls include broken walls, thin red brick walls, temporary walls at construction sites, etc. Although these unstable walls are not as heavy as large trees or billboards, they can still cause noticeable damage if they collapse onto a car. 2. Do not park under large trees: Parking under trees during a typhoon is a risky behavior. Trees that usually appear sturdy may have hollow trunks, and their branches or even trunks may not withstand the strong winds of a typhoon. During typhoons, these trees can be blown down and fall onto parked cars, potentially denting the car body or scraping off paint. Therefore, avoid parking under large trees during a typhoon. 3. Do not park near temporary roadside structures: Areas next to temporary structures like security booths, telephone booths, or newsstands are also unsuitable for parking during a typhoon. Many of these structures are not anchored by foundations, increasing the likelihood of them collapsing onto nearby cars. If these structures have additional components, such as metal canopies or rooftop water tanks, the damage to the car can be even more severe.

Roewe Logo

Roewe's logo features a lion. Here is a relevant introduction about the Roewe logo: 1. Animal imagery: The Roewe car emblem showcases two standing oriental lions in the center. As the king of beasts, lions in Chinese culture are often seen as stone or bronze sculptures guarding the main entrances of imperial palaces and private mansions, symbolizing majesty, dignity, and inviolability, representing auspiciousness, authority, and solemnity. 2. Symbolism: The central part of the emblem depicts two lions guarding a Huabiao (a traditional Chinese ornamental pillar). The Huabiao is a classic totemic symbol in Chinese culture, embodying not only the nation's prestige but also the vision for foresight, praying for the prosperity and harmonious development of the society.

How Often Should Car Bushings Be Replaced?

Car bushings generally do not wear out during normal use, so they do not require frequent replacement. Below is an introduction to related information about the car differential: 1. If the differential bushing is damaged, it is likely due to abnormal gear meshing in the differential. In such cases, it should be replaced promptly. If there is an issue with the differential bushing, the vehicle may exhibit unusual behavior during turns while driving. 2. The car differential is a mechanism that allows the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It primarily consists of two side gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. When driving on rough road conditions, the differential enables the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds, ensuring the vehicle operates smoothly.

What Causes the Car Body to Shake When Lightly Pressing the Accelerator?

The reasons for car body shaking when lightly pressing the accelerator: 1. Damaged half-shaft: Under long-term torsional fatigue and impact forces, the car's half-shaft is prone to bending, twisting, breaking, or wear and misalignment of the spline teeth, which can cause rhythmic shaking in the front of the car. The shaking disappears or lessens when the accelerator is released. 2. Fuel system malfunction: The car's fuel system is relatively large and has many components. Any abnormality or failure in one of these components can cause the car engine to shake during acceleration. 3. Spark plug failure: In the engine ignition system, ignition high-voltage wires rarely have issues, so the main problems usually lie with the ignition coil and spark plugs. Since both are wear-prone parts, degraded spark plug performance or the use of inferior spark plugs can lead to weak acceleration and shaking during acceleration. 4. Fuel line issues: Fuel line problems are generally caused by blockages, leading to poor fuel supply, manifested as engine shaking, unstable idle speed, or stalling while driving. Additionally, fuel pump failure can also cause engine shaking. To diagnose fuel pump issues, disconnect the fuel line and check the flow rate and volume.
