Vehicle nameplates cannot be counterfeited, as each car has a nameplate that specifically documents its identity. Most vehicle nameplates are located in the engine compartment, and by directly checking this nameplate, the production date of the vehicle can be determined. Here is additional information: 1. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN, is a unique set of seventeen alphanumeric characters used on automobiles to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. The first three characters are always letters, representing the manufacturer, with the first character being the country code (China is "L"). This is followed by codes for the vehicle's performance structure and an anti-counterfeiting check digit. 2. Vehicle Nameplate Locations: (1) Located below the front passenger door when opened. (2) A certificate of conformity provided at the time of purchase contains detailed information, including the production date and factory data. (3) The location varies by vehicle model. Generally, it can be found on the nameplate under the engine hood, but some are located near the right front door or below the windshield. The 10th digit of the chassis number indicates the model year.

Is it necessary to replace the connecting rod after water immersion in the engine?

In such cases, as long as there is no secondary startup, it is generally not necessary to replace the connecting rod. Simply removing the spark plugs and draining the water from inside the engine is sufficient. Below are some potential hazards associated with water-damaged vehicles: Damage to computer integrated circuits: These circuits can oxidize due to immersion, often requiring inspection and replacement; otherwise, the vehicle may not operate properly. Since many electronic components cannot be opened at once, they may appear fine during repairs but could develop faults during later use. These issues mean that some 'water-damaged vehicles' may experience malfunctions even after repairs. Damage to the engine: Water immersion can harm the vehicle's internal electronic control systems. The engine is particularly vulnerable; after water immersion, never attempt to start or turn over the engine, as this can cause severe deformation of the connecting rod. Additionally, interior components like carpets and seats may deform, become rough, or develop odors and bacterial growth due to prolonged soaking.
