Can the engine be washed with a water gun. It is best not to wash with a water gun in the following situations: Hot car state: The principle of thermal expansion and contraction, in the case of a hot car, high-pressure washing with cold water will cause the engine temperature to drop sharply, which may cause oil seal leakage, and in severe cases, cylinder block rupture may occur. Older cars: When cleaning the engine compartment of a new car, a high-pressure water gun can be used, but for cars that have been used for a long time, although the engine compartment is insulated, there is no guarantee that it will not cause a short circuit. It is best to ask the 4S shop master to blow it with an air gun during maintenance.

Is turning the steering wheel to the lock position while reversing very harmful to the car?

Turning the steering wheel to the lock position while reversing is indeed very harmful to the car. When the steering wheel is turned to the lock position, the steering fluid in the steering gear has difficulty circulating, and over time, this can damage the power steering pump. The steps for reversing are: 1. Press the foot brake firmly and shift from N to R gear; 2. Release the handbrake and check the rear route through the rearview mirror or by turning around; 3. Gently release the foot brake, always ready to press it again to park; 4. If the car does not move backward after completely releasing the foot brake when encountering a small obstacle, lightly press the accelerator while being ready to press the foot brake again to prevent rapid reversing from causing danger; 5. After reversing to the designated position, fully press the foot brake and pull up the handbrake before releasing the foot brake; 6. Press the foot brake and shift from R to N gear; 7.
