The water pipe behind the cylinder head of a Mercedes-Benz E300 can be removed. Removal method: After removing the vacuum pump, the pipe will be visible. There is a small spline screw on the pipe; remove it to pull the pipe out. Then, the pipes on both sides, along with the heater pipe and wiring harness on the transmission, may be slightly obstructing. Push them aside to take the pipe out. Generally, it is removed and reinstalled from below. Function of the water pipe: Water pipes are divided into upper water pipes, lower water pipes, and auxiliary tank connecting pipes. When a car is running, it generates heat, so water is used for cooling. There are many small interconnected passages inside the cylinder block, and the radiator's role is to store reserve water. When the water in the cylinder block reaches a certain temperature, the thermostat automatically opens. The water pump then circulates the reserve water into the cylinder block. At this point, the upper water pipe is needed to transport the reserve water to the cylinder block, and the cylinder block sends the water back to the radiator via the lower water pipe. The water pipes are like roads transporting a car from one place to another.

How to Handle Temporary License Plate Violations?

Generally, violations involving temporary license plates are penalized on the spot by traffic police. Drivers caught in such violations will be issued a ticket, and the driver is aware of the illegal act, so no further inquiry is needed. Temporary license plates cannot be used to check for violations. Temporary license plates are paper-based and do not have the electronic eye detection function of standard reflective license plates, making them incapable of being recognized or captured by cameras.

How to Deal with Water Ingress and Corrosion in Automotive Connectors?

Effective, but prone to scratching the connector. After wiping for 5 minutes, the oxidized liquid on the connector will fall off, but some scratch marks may also appear on the connector. Oxalic acid (i.e., ethanedioic acid) can be used to remove rust. WD-40 can easily handle cleaning capacitor circuit boards. You can either polish or clean with weak acid, but make sure to wipe it clean thoroughly after use to avoid corroding the connector.

Can Chassis Armor Provide Waterproofing?

Chassis armor can provide waterproofing. Below are the functions of chassis armor: Weather Protection: In summer, the heat from the road surface, acid rain, atmospheric moisture, salt, and the corrosion from de-icing agents on winter roads can all erode the vehicle's undercarriage. Chassis armor effectively prevents rust and premature aging. Even in the warm, humid climates of coastal cities, the salty sea breeze won't leave the metal chassis battered and scarred. Defense Against Gravel Impact: When driving on rough roads, gravel and stones kicked up by vibrations can continuously strike the chassis and wheel hubs. Chassis armor protects the original anti-rust paint and galvanized layer of the chassis, preventing metal from being exposed to moisture and acid rain in the air, which can cause rust. It also strongly resists the rapid spread of rust, which can corrode internal mechanical components. Enhanced Driving Safety: A damaged chassis may lead to deformation of certain components, especially the upper and lower control arms and tie rods, which are prone to bending. Even minor impacts can cause slight leaks in the oil pan or transmission fluid pan. These deformations and leaks are hard to detect but can severely compromise driving safety. With chassis armor's anti-collision and anti-rust treatment, the chassis remains undamaged, ensuring safety naturally.
