Electric cars can get wet in the rain. If it's just rain, it generally doesn't affect the wiring, but it can cause discoloration of the outer panels. You can cover the car with something. Here is some additional information: 1. The most water-sensitive parts: The circuit in the head cover (find something to cover the front of the car to prevent water from entering); the controller part, which is usually waterproofed during manufacturing, so no need to worry; the battery connection wires (if the seal is poor, the battery may short-circuit). 2. Precautions: If the electric car has been exposed to rain, use a cloth or paper towel with strong absorbency to dry the battery and connectors. Do not turn on the power before doing this, as it may cause a short circuit. Additionally, never force your way through flooded areas—drive normally only if the water level does not exceed half of the electric car's wheels. If the motor gets wet, place it in a ventilated area to dry before use. After heavy rain, try to keep the electric car in a well-ventilated and dry place.

What to Do If You Don't Want to Continue After Passing Subject 1 in Driving School?

After enrolling in a driving school and passing Subject 1, if you haven't taken Subject 2 or Subject 3, according to regulations, any unutilized vehicle management fees can be refunded. Here's an extended explanation: 1. Refund Policy: When signing up for driving lessons, the driving school will have a contract with the student that includes terms regarding refunds. If a student withdraws, the refund should be negotiated based on the signed contract. Although terms may vary, there's a fundamental principle across all driving schools: any unused training fees must be refunded. 2. Refund Disputes: If a dispute arises between the student and the driving school over refunds and no agreement can be reached, the student can call the local Transportation Bureau's Driving Training Department for mediation.

Can Fuel Additives Clean Engine Carbon Deposits?

Fuel additives have a significant effect on delaying the formation of engine carbon deposits and removing carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. Of course, the fuel additive must be a clean type. The so-called fuel additive is actually a gasoline additive. Generally speaking, there are two types of gasoline additives: octane boosters and cleaning agents. The main function of octane boosters is to increase the octane rating. For example, in remote areas where only 92-octane gasoline is available, but the engine requires 95-octane, this type of fuel additive is needed.

There are two types of carbon deposits in car engines. One is the "sludge" that deposits on the throttle body, intake manifold, and the back of the valves. These sludges are a mixture of colloidal substances (olefins) in gasoline, engine oil from the exhaust gas recirculation system, and dust from the air. These carbon deposits are located in the low-temperature parts of the engine. The other type of carbon deposit is located inside the combustion chamber, i.e., the high-temperature parts. These carbon deposits are solid carbides produced when the olefins in gasoline undergo incomplete combustion. As the engine combustion process continues, these carbon deposits gradually accumulate on the piston tops and cylinder heads, which can reduce the combustion chamber volume and lead to engine knocking.

What Sound Does a Faulty Tensioner Make?

A faulty tensioner typically produces a buzzing or squeaking abnormal noise. Symptoms of a damaged tensioner include increased fuel consumption, lack of power, engine knocking, and other malfunctions. The tensioner's function is applied to the engine's timing belt or timing chain, providing guidance and tension to maintain them in an optimal tensioned state. Tensioners are generally categorized into hydraulic and mechanical types, both capable of automatically adjusting the tension of timing belts and chains. The removal method for a tensioner involves: driving the vehicle onto a lift, disconnecting the battery, removing the hose bracket, inserting a tool into the dedicated opening of the belt tensioner, then using a wrench to turn the automatic belt tensioner clockwise and loosening the engine auxiliary system belt. Finally, loosen the fixing screws according to the belt tensioner wheel to be removed.

Will PU Invisible Car Film Leave Adhesive Residue?

PU invisible car film may leave adhesive residue. Here is more relevant information: 1. Reasons for adhesive residue: (1) During installation, if the paint surface is not thoroughly cleaned (or improper cleaning agents are used), residues on the paint surface may react chemically with the adhesive, causing peeling. (2) The adhesive layer of the invisible car film lacks sufficient heat resistance. Under high temperatures and sunlight, chemical reactions occur, altering the material and leading to peeling. Therefore, apart from incorrect installation, the issue of adhesive residue after removing the invisible car film is primarily due to problems with the product's adhesive layer. 2. Materials of invisible car film: (1) PVC material is relatively hard, prone to yellowing, mostly domestically produced, with very sticky chemical adhesives. (2) TPH material is very soft and easily torn, offering slight scratch repair capability but also very prone to yellowing. (3) TPU material significantly improves toughness, has good yellowing resistance, and offers strong scratch repair capability.
