If the alloy wheel accidentally hits a stone causing scratches, or rubs against a raised curb on the sidewalk, etc., these situations may lead to wheel scratches. Whether scratched alloy wheels can be repaired depends on the circumstances. Here is additional information: 1. Wheel material: Chrome-plated or polished wheels cannot be repaired because their surfaces are too shiny to restore. 2. Extent of damage: If the primer coat is not exposed, it only affects aesthetics with no other impact, so repair may be unnecessary; however, if the scratch reveals the primer, repair is needed. Leaving it untreated may cause the damaged area to wrinkle and expand over time, potentially leading to rust and corrosion.

Does Che Xiaojiang have an impact on cars?

There is an impact. It is natural, environmentally friendly, and fuel-efficient for drivers. Che Xiaojiang began collaborating with Dr. Su Tongxing in March 2007 to organize relevant institutions for research on low-carbon gasoline and additives, based on the GB17930-2006 gasoline standard, GB18351 ethanol gasoline standard for vehicles, and M30 methanol gasoline standard. By the end of 2009, breakthrough progress had been made, fundamentally resolving a series of issues such as difficult cold starts in winter, poor weather resistance in summer, engine corrosion, rubber expansion, insufficient power, and high fuel consumption when using GX low-carbon gasoline and automotive additives. A national invention patent was applied for in 2010 and approved in 2011.

What to Do When the Trunk Won't Open Due to a Dead Battery?

First, use the mechanical key to locate the door handle on the driver's side and open it with the mechanical key. After opening the door, there is a lever below the driver's compartment; pull it down to open the hood. Seek professional help or use a nearby vehicle to jump-start the car. After jump-starting, do not turn off the engine; keep the power on and then open the trunk.

What is the real fuel consumption of the RAV4 2.5 4WD?

RAV4 2.5 4WD has a combined fuel consumption of 5L/100km. There are currently 2 models of RAV4 2.5 4WD available for sale: the 4WD Elite PLUS version and the 4WD Flagship version, both with a fuel consumption of 5L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the comprehensive fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The real fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 10L. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What is the difference between Geely BMA and CMA?

Difference lies in the developers: The CMA architecture was jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, while the BMA architecture was independently developed by Geely Auto. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. BMA: The BMA architecture has four major characteristics, namely supporting multiple types of R&D, high space utilization, compatibility with various powertrains, and excellent safety. 2. CMA: The CMA architecture is primarily used for developing compact models, capable of meeting the R&D needs of various vehicle types from A-segment compact cars to B-segment SUVs. Inheriting the safety performance of Volvo's SPA architecture, renowned as the 'world's safest,' vehicles built on this architecture are highly secure in terms of safety.

Is a Little Water in Engine Oil a Serious Issue?

It must be replaced to prevent oil emulsification. 1. Identification: Water-free engine oil appears semi-transparent with a shiny texture; when water is present, the oil will emulsify, turning milky white with foam. In such cases, to prevent engine damage, the engine needs to be cleaned and the oil replaced. 2. Small Amount of Water in the Cylinder: In some situations, the engine may still start if the water intake is minimal, and the owner might not notice. If the owner continues to drive under these conditions, the piston may seize in the cylinder, causing the connecting rod to bend or break, or even puncture the cylinder directly. Such an engine might require major repairs or become scrapped, leading to aftereffects like shaking, reduced power, and malfunctions.

Is the Geely Boyue really fuel-consuming?

Geely Boyue has a relatively higher fuel consumption compared to other vehicles in the same class. Here is a detailed introduction about the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Overview: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value obtained by the manufacturer in an objective environment, using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis to measure and convert it into speed parameters, then driving at the specified speed to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Others: Since most vehicles approach their economical speed at 90 kilometers per hour, the theoretical fuel consumption announced to the public is usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 kilometers per hour.
