If a vehicle is damaged by hail, the owner can claim compensation from the insurance company if they have purchased vehicle damage insurance. Owners without vehicle damage insurance will not be eligible for compensation. Below is relevant information regarding the scope of auto insurance claims: Natural Disaster Claims: Hail damage often occurs in localized areas and can cause vehicle damage. As a type of natural disaster, it falls under the coverage of vehicle damage insurance. Additionally, vehicle damage caused by other natural disasters such as heavy rain, storms, floods, earthquakes, and mudslides can also be claimed under vehicle damage insurance. Third-Party Liability Insurance: The coverage of third-party liability insurance includes compensation for accidental incidents caused by the insured or a qualified driver permitted by the insured while using the insured vehicle, resulting in bodily injury, death, or property damage to a third party. The insurance company will provide corresponding compensation according to the 'Road Traffic Accident Handling Measures' and the terms of the insurance contract.

How to Remove Water Stains from a Car?

Water stains on the car can be effectively removed using alcohol or clay bar. When the paint layer comes into contact with water droplets before it has fully dried, the water mixes with the solvents in the paint and seeps into the surface, leaving water marks. Even on paint that has dried for more than 7 days at normal temperature, frequent contact with water droplets can leave water marks on the surface.

Which batch of Sagitar vehicles experienced rear suspension fractures?

Sagitar rear suspension fractures primarily affected approximately 560,000 vehicles produced between May 2011 and May 2014. Below is detailed information about the Sagitar suspension fracture incident: 1. Sagitar Suspension Fracture Incident: This refers to the 2012, 2013, and 2014 models (excluding the latest 2014 facelift), all equipped with non-independent torsion beam suspensions. The incident: According to China Economic Net's report on November 4, 2014, the 'Top Ten Economic Buzzwords' for October were released, with 'Volkswagen recalls Sagitar due to suspension fractures' ranking first. On October 17, the General Administration of Quality Supervision announced that FAW-Volkswagen would recall 563,600 new Sagitars and 17,400 imported Beetles nationwide due to rear axle longitudinal arm fractures. This marked the final resolution of FAW-Volkswagen's 'suspension fracture' incident after more than 10 months of controversy. 2. Suspension Fracture: Typically refers to the breakage of a vehicle's longitudinal arm. If a vehicle's chassis design is flawed, forces from bumps, collisions, steering, or tilting during use can cause the longitudinal arm to twist and deform, potentially leading to fractures in severe cases.

Does Using 92 Octane Gasoline Affect the Passat?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Passat should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the Passat's fuel tank cap also indicates the recommended octane rating. Typically, the engine's compression ratio can also determine the appropriate gasoline grade. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade, as high compression ratios can be adjusted to use lower octane gasoline. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Passat occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct octane rating after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using a higher octane rating will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power and thermal efficiency, manifesting as poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using a lower octane rating can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number reduces the gasoline's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without significant engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.
