If your car is hit and the other party is fully at fault, the claim history of your vehicle can still be traced. You might think that since the other party is fully liable and their insurance is covering the damages, there would be no claim record on your side. However, this is not the case. Since your vehicle requires repairs funded by the insurance compensation, a claim record will indeed be generated. Many people prefer to avoid having too many claim records on their vehicles, primarily because they fear significant depreciation when selling the car in the future. Indeed, if a vehicle has multiple repair records, especially major repairs, its resale value tends to be considerably lower. Understanding this, it's advisable to drive as cautiously as possible to minimize accidents. In fact, 80% of accidents are avoidable. Therefore, by driving carefully and adhering to traffic rules, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of encountering major issues.

What is the reason for one side of the LED daytime running light suddenly not working?

When one daytime running light is on and the other is not, the reasons may include abnormal voltage at the wiring connector, a short circuit in the daytime running light circuit, a malfunction, or a burnt-out bulb. Below are the relevant details: 1. Inspection: Check whether the voltage at the wiring connector is normal. Generally, passenger cars have a voltage of around 12V, while buses and trucks have around 24V. If the voltage is normal, inspect the daytime running light circuit for loose connections, short circuits, or blown fuses. Repair or replace as needed. If none of these issues are found, the daytime running light bulb is likely burnt out and needs replacement. 2. Repair method: If the daytime running light is not working, it is advisable to have it inspected at a 4S shop, as issues involving the lighting system and wiring can be complex. If you are not familiar with the wiring, you may easily damage the original vehicle wiring. Generally, it is difficult to repair such issues on your own.

What fault codes will be reported if the timing is incorrect?

No fault codes will be reported. However, fault codes will be recorded. Generally, there won't be any reports, but incorrect timing can cause issues such as the vehicle not starting or being difficult to start. The following are the symptoms of incorrect ignition timing: 1. Ignition too early: The air-fuel mixture burns too early, which can easily cause knocking and affect normal combustion. When suddenly accelerating the engine, there will be a "clattering" metal knocking sound, which may even damage engine components. There is also a knocking sound at idle, though it is not very loud. If the distributor housing is slightly turned in the direction of the rotor rotation, the sound will reduce or disappear, indicating the ignition timing is too early. When manually cranking the engine, there may be a reverse rotation (backfire) phenomenon. When using the starter, the resistance is high, making it difficult to turn the engine. 2. Ignition too late: This reduces the gas pressure above the piston, leading to decreased power, weak and sluggish engine operation, and an inability to increase speed when accelerating. The engine runs unevenly at high speeds. If the ignition timing is too late, the carburetor may backfire, the muffler may pop, the engine temperature may rise, fuel consumption may increase, and the engine may be difficult to start. 3. Erratic ignition timing: The engine may shake and produce knocking sounds, lose power, the carburetor may backfire, the exhaust pipe may pop, and the engine may even fail to start or operate normally.

What Causes the Failure of the Parking Distance Warning System in BMW 5 Series?

BMW 5 Series Parking Distance Warning System failure is mostly caused by a malfunctioning sensor radar. Below are the specific reasons and solutions: 1. Specific Reasons: The failure of the BMW 5 Series Parking Distance Warning System is mostly due to a malfunctioning sensor radar, which cannot accurately estimate the parking distance, leading to the failure of the parking distance warning system. There are two possible scenarios for sensor radar malfunction: one is an issue with the radar itself, and the other is obstruction by foreign objects. 2. Solutions: Have the car radar inspected at a 4S shop, where technicians will carry out the necessary repairs; clean the radar to ensure its surface remains clean and free from any foreign object obstruction.

How many kilograms is 30 liters of 92-octane gasoline equal to?

One liter of 92-octane gasoline is approximately 0.727 kilograms, so the weight of 30 liters of 92-octane gasoline is: 30 × 0.727 = 21.81 kg, which is 21.81 kilograms. Gasoline appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5–C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane rating (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades based on octane ratings, such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95, respectively. The calorific value of gasoline is approximately 44,000 kJ/kg (the calorific value of a fuel refers to the amount of heat produced when 1 kg of fuel is completely burned). The weights of one liter of 90#, 93#, and 97# gasoline are 0.72 kg, 0.725 kg, and 0.737 kg, respectively. Due to seasonal climate variations, the density of gasoline may slightly change. Different grades of gasoline also have different densities: 90-octane gasoline has a density of 0.72 g/ml; 93-octane gasoline has a density of 0.725 g/ml; and 97-octane gasoline has a density of 0.737 g/ml.

What is the MIL light?

MIL stands for Malfunction Indicator Lamp, which represents the engine fault light. When the MIL fault is displayed, it may indicate an engine malfunction. Common engine faults in automobiles can be summarized as follows: Engine stalling fault: Fault phenomenon: During engine operation, the speed fluctuates between high and low. This phenomenon is called engine stalling, and the fault is referred to as an engine stalling fault. Solution: Check for any air leaks in the intake pipe. Inspect all hoses and connection joints, PVC valve pipe, EGR system, oil dipstick socket, and oil filter cap. Engine fails to start: Fault phenomenon: When turning the ignition switch to the start position, the engine does not start. Neither the starter nor the engine rotates when attempting to start. This should be inspected as a starting system fault. Solution: Check the battery charge level and the connection and contact of the terminals. If the battery is normal, inspect the starting circuit, fuses, and ignition switch.
