Yes, a car being involved in an accident does affect its resale value, as accident vehicles are depreciated by a certain percentage. Here are specific details about accident vehicles: 1. Definition of an accident vehicle: It refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage due to non-natural wear and tear accidents, leading to a decline in mechanical performance and economic value. Generally, it indicates a vehicle with structural damage, where the performance is not as good as before. An accident itself proves there are issues with the car, and driving such a vehicle poses safety risks. 2. Identification methods: Visual inspection, light inspection, insurance record check, and interior examination. 3. Hazards: The dangers of driving an accident vehicle include reduced performance post-accident. The occurrence of an accident already indicates problems with the car, and driving it may lead to safety hazards.

Can Automotive Refrigerant and Household Refrigerant Be Used Interchangeably?

Automotive refrigerant and household refrigerant cannot be used interchangeably, as they are different types of refrigerant media. Do not cross-fill them. Below is additional information regarding automotive and household refrigerants: 1. Older Household Refrigerant: If it is a very old household air conditioner, the refrigerant used is different from that in automotive air conditioners. Older household air conditioners use R12, which is an obsolete refrigerant. 2. New Household Air Conditioners: New household air conditioners mostly use R134. This is a newer refrigerant, primarily due to environmental concerns. In fact, mixing the two refrigerants is not a problem, except that the high-pressure side may be slightly higher, but the compressor oil must be replaced. Currently, automotive air conditioners use either R134 or R407—407 is rare, while 134 is more common. R407 is a relatively new refrigerant. Modern automotive air conditioners use the same refrigerant as household air conditioners.

What is the fuel consumption of Wuling?

MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption: 7.0 to 7.6L/100km. Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Engine performance degradation: When the car engine performance significantly declines, it will be accompanied by increased fuel consumption. This is caused by prolonged failure to replace engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion. Prolonged idling: Leaving the car running without turning off the engine for extended periods consumes a considerable amount of fuel, especially when idling with the air conditioning on during summer while waiting. In addition to driving the operation of components such as the water pump, oil pump, flywheel, and transmission input shaft gears, the engine also needs to maintain the operation of the air conditioning compressor. When the air conditioning is clogged, it consumes even more fuel, and the air discharged from the air conditioning vents can also affect the body.
