Changan CS35PLUS rust issue has been resolved. Methods to address chassis rust problems: An electrochemical approach can be adopted. This method is still relatively uncommon. There is an electronic rust-proof product that utilizes the car's battery for power supply. Through a microprocessing system, it outputs negative charges directly into the metal, balancing the metal's atomic structure, thereby achieving anti-oxidation, rust prevention, and resistance to metal fatigue. Its most significant feature is full-vehicle rust prevention with no dead angles, maintaining the metal's original hardness and resistance to bending. It also enhances the adhesion between metal and paint, making the paint less prone to peeling and preserving the car's aesthetic appearance. Chassis rust prevention methods: Promptly repair damaged paint surfaces on the car body. If cracks or other signs of damage are found on the paint layer, they should be immediately patched with quick-drying paint to prevent rust from starting. If rust has already reached the metal part, it should be taken to a repair shop for repainting.

I've been driving the Changan CS35 PLUS for over two years, and body rust is indeed a common issue, mainly occurring on the chassis and wheel arches. The usual causes are rainwater, moisture buildup, or lack of maintenance, leading to prolonged metal surface exposure and corrosion. I've tried DIY solutions: first sanding or using rust removal tools to grind off the rust, then applying anti-rust paint, which works well. If not repaired promptly, rust can spread and weaken the body, compromising safety. I recommend regular car washes, especially after rain or driving on muddy roads, and using anti-rust spray on vulnerable areas. Try to park in dry places to avoid water accumulation. Remember, small issues left unattended can become big problems—spending a little time on maintenance can save you a lot of money.

How many kilometers should a car run before replacing brake pads?

It depends on the car's mileage. Generally, they should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. Here are methods to check if a car's brake pads need replacement: 1. Thickness - A new brake pad is typically about 1.5cm thick. With continuous friction during use, the thickness gradually wears down. Professional technicians recommend that when visual inspection shows the brake pad thickness has reduced to about 1/3 of the original (approximately 0.5cm), the owner should increase self-inspection frequency and prepare for replacement. 2. Listen for sounds - If a metallic scraping sound (like "iron rubbing iron") accompanies light braking, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. This indicates the wear indicators on both sides of the brake pads are directly contacting the brake disc, proving the pads have exceeded their limit. In such cases, the brake disc should also be inspected during replacement, as this sound often means the disc is already damaged. Simply replacing the pads may not eliminate the noise, and severe cases may require disc replacement. 3. Feel the braking force - As pads thin, braking efficiency decreases. You'll need to press the pedal deeper to achieve the same braking effect that previously required light pressure. When the initial braking response weakens noticeably (many drivers describe this as "soft brakes" or reduced stopping power), it's time to check if the pads need replacement.

What to Do When the Gear Exclamation Mark Appears on the Dashboard?

Dashboard gear exclamation mark is the transmission system warning light. TCU, which stands for Transmission Control Unit, refers to the automatic transmission control unit. This function enables automatic transmission control, making driving simpler. The appearance of this symbol indicates an abnormality in the transmission. If this light comes on while driving, you should stop driving immediately and seek professional assistance at a 4S shop as soon as possible. Generally, only cars equipped with automatic transmissions have this light. Cars with manual transmissions do not have this light because manual transmissions lack computers and sensors, making them less prone to malfunctions.

What Causes the Oil Warning Light to Illuminate When the Engine Overheats?

Engine oil warning light illumination during engine overheating is caused by excessively high engine temperature, insufficient oil level, sensor malfunctions, and other factors. Below is the classification of automotive engine types: Classification by Fuel Type: Internal combustion engines can be categorized into gasoline engines and diesel engines based on the fuel used. An internal combustion engine using gasoline as fuel is called a gasoline engine, while one using diesel is called a diesel engine. Gasoline and diesel engines each have distinct characteristics: gasoline engines feature higher rotational speeds, lighter weight, lower noise levels, easier starting, and lower manufacturing costs; diesel engines have higher compression ratios, greater thermal efficiency, and better fuel economy and emission performance compared to gasoline engines. Classification by Cooling Method: Internal combustion engines can be divided into water-cooled engines and air-cooled engines based on their cooling methods. Water-cooled engines utilize circulating coolant within the cylinder block and cylinder head water jackets as the cooling medium, whereas air-cooled engines use air flowing between the cooling fins on the outer surfaces of the cylinder block and cylinder head as the cooling medium. Water-cooled engines provide uniform cooling, reliable operation, and effective cooling performance, making them widely used in modern automotive engines.

Can I Still Take the Test After Failing Subject 2 Five Times?

You cannot retake the test after failing Subject 2 five times. Here are the precautions for taking Subject 2: 1. Reverse Parking: The main points for deduction in reverse parking include pressing the line while reversing, the car not entering the parking space, exceeding the time limit, and not following the prescribed route. Reverse parking must be completed within 210 seconds; exceeding the time limit results in failure, and not following the sequence also leads to failure. Pay attention to the 30cm margin when reversing. 2. Parallel Parking: The main points for deduction in parallel parking involve the turn signal, the 30cm margin, and pressing the line. 3. Right-angle Turn: The main points for deduction in the right-angle turn are the turn signal and pressing the line. Operating the turn signal incorrectly after entering the test area deducts 10 points.

What are the reasons for a battery not charging?

The reasons for a battery not charging include: dried-up electrolyte in the battery, broken plates, short-circuited plates, etc. The most common reason is plate sulfation, which hinders the normal flow of electrons, leading to a decrease in battery capacity, inability to function properly, and gradual aging. In this case, the battery needs to be replaced. The method for removing the battery is as follows: 1. The battery is located in the engine compartment. First, open the compartment and locate the battery. 2. Remove the battery terminal protective cover and the nuts on the fixed bracket. 3. First disconnect the negative terminal, then remove the positive terminal. The negative terminal is disconnected first to avoid short circuits, as it is connected to the vehicle body. 4. After removing all the fixing screws on the battery, the old battery can be taken out.
