Interior modifications can pass the annual inspection, but seats cannot be removed, and the vehicle's structure cannot be altered. The structural characteristics registered with the vehicle management office must not be changed without authorization. Modifications that can pass the annual inspection include: 1. Enlarging the throttle to significantly improve air intake flow, though excessive modification may cause engine knocking due to an overly lean air-fuel mixture; 2. Lightweight pistons with a high compression ratio, reducing the load on the engine crankshaft and connecting rods, resulting in quicker engine response and stronger explosive power; 3. Camshafts with optimized angles, increasing valve lift and opening angles to ensure more combustible mixture enters the cylinder and exhaust flows more smoothly; 4. Adjusting the final drive ratio and gear ratios, increasing the final drive ratio and tightening the gear ratios from 1st to 4th gear to enhance the vehicle's acceleration; 5. Upgrading the spark plug wires, replacing the original high-resistance wires (typically around 5,000 ohms) with low-resistance wires to maximize the energy transfer from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, though precautions must be taken to prevent spark jumping and interference.

Can Flood-Damaged Vehicles Be Insured?

Flood-damaged vehicles that are no longer drivable cannot be insured. If the vehicle is still operational, some insurance companies with more lenient policy terms may continue to provide coverage, but the insurance premium rates will increase. Here are the correct steps to handle a water-damaged vehicle: 1. Do not let the engine stall: Avoid forcibly starting the engine in water to prevent further damage (if the engine is damaged due to forced restart, the repair costs will not be covered by insurance). 2. Contact the insurance company to report the incident: Take photos of the scene and report the claim through multiple channels such as the insurance company's official website, app, or WeChat public account. 3. If the vehicle is swept away by floodwaters: Immediately call the police and wait for the insurance company's arrangements to determine if rescue services are available. Additionally, you must report to the police to assist in locating the swept-away vehicle. 4. For water-damaged vehicles: Actively contact the insurance company's rescue service to have the vehicle towed to a designated repair shop as soon as possible for prompt cleaning, repairs, and damage assessment.

Why is the engine noise loud in the new Sportage?

The loud engine noise in the new Sportage is caused by carbon deposits. It is necessary to clean the carbon deposits in the engine combustion chamber, fuel injectors, intake valves, and throttle body. Finally, pour a fuel system cleaner into the fuel tank to remove all carbon deposits in the fuel lines. Reasons for increased engine noise: Engine mount aging or loosening: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the vehicle frame. Their purpose is to reduce vibration and provide cushioning during engine operation, as well as to secure the engine. Once these mounts age or become loose, the engine will vibrate, and the faster the speed, the louder the vibration noise. Inappropriate engine oil usage: If the viscosity of the engine oil does not match the engine, it can easily lead to carbon deposits, resulting in increased engine noise. Engine misfire: An engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly. Common symptoms include: intermittent exhaust flow from the vehicle, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and a clear "popping" or thumping sound from the engine.

What Causes the Brake Noise in the TACQUA?

There are many reasons for brake noise, such as sand particles entering the brake disc, loose screws fixing the brake disc, or degraded brake fluid quality. Braking Techniques to Prevent "Lurching": If the braking distance is sufficient, you can slowly and steadily press the brake pedal to decelerate. As the car is about to come to a stop, gently release the brake pedal until the car completely stops. Braking Techniques on Slopes: Actually, braking on an uphill slope is similar to braking on a flat road—both require gently pressing the brake pedal. However, when releasing the brake, it should be done faster than on a flat road. When braking on a downhill slope, avoid pressing the brake pedal for an extended period, as this can easily lead to excessive wear of the brake friction pads and reduced effectiveness. Instead, you can use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) to decelerate and bring the car to a stop.
