Replacing the rearview mirror at a 4S shop does not require repainting. Reasons why repainting is unnecessary when replacing the rearview mirror at a 4S shop: The rearview mirror comes with its own finish. If the requirements are not high, repainting is not necessary. The car's rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the front of the car, as well as inside the front of the car. If the rearview mirror is broken, it will seriously affect the driving safety of the owner and should be replaced promptly. Even if the color of the replaced rearview mirror matches, there will still be a color difference. Precautions when replacing the rearview mirror: When installing the rearview mirror, pay attention to the installation sequence of the clips. First, place the top clip into position, and then install the clips on both sides, followed by the bottom clip in order. A little force is needed during the process. When you hear a "click" sound, it means the clip is in place. Products with good molds can easily install the mirror in place, and the entire process takes about 10 minutes.

What does the car PTC switch mean?

PTC switch in a car refers to the car heater switch. 1. Introduction: Temperature PTC can be used as a ceramic heating element for car startup in low-temperature conditions. We can design it into different structural forms such as tubular and flat-plate types, which results in the full utilization of the heat efficiency generated by PTC. 2. Function: It is generally directly fixed on the inner wall of the vaporization chamber, where it directly heats the gasoline inside the vaporization chamber, rapidly increasing its temperature. This improves the fuel combustion and vaporization effect, which not only helps the car to start normally in low-temperature environments but also reduces pollution caused by car exhaust emissions and decreases fuel consumption.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Releasing the Throttle in a Car?

It often occurs when there is insufficient torque. Most common abnormal noises in the engine depend on the engine's speed condition. 1. Causes of the noise: Excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall; Overly tight piston pin or connecting rod bearing assembly; Excessive clearance between the tappet and its guide hole; Wear on the camshaft profile; Sometimes, a loose starter clutch can cause the pulley to make noise (especially noticeable during speed changes). 2. Identification method: Many abnormal noises in the engine are clearly related to its load. During diagnosis, a method of gradually removing the load can be used for testing, typically employing single-cylinder or dual-cylinder misfire to remove the load from one or two cylinders, to determine the relationship between the noise and the load.
