Water reaching just half of the wheel height can already affect a car. Here are relevant details about water-damaged vehicles: 1. Concept: Refers to cars that couldn't be moved in time by owners during heavy rains and were submerged for extended periods in underground garages or low-lying areas. 2. Hazards: Causes damage to the vehicle's internal electronic control systems. The mixed rainwater is highly corrosive, affecting electrical functions, especially future usage. Since most modern cars are equipped with electronic control systems, water exposure can lead to short circuits in the ECU's internal IC circuit boards and rust formation on connector terminals. This gradually causes metal components to corrode and creates poor circuit connections. In severe cases, it may even result in short circuits and burning.

Are 7-Speed Wet Dual Clutch Transmissions Prone to Faults?

7-speed wet dual clutch transmission issues generally occur in vehicles frequently driven in congested traffic conditions and those habitually kept in D gear for extended periods. Below is more information about dual clutch transmissions: 1. Precautions: Dual clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as these conditions can easily lead to overheating and subsequent malfunctions. If the vehicle's computer issues a warning, it is essential to stop immediately and allow the transmission to cool down. 2. Usage in Traffic Jams: When stuck in unavoidable traffic congestion, it is advisable to use lower gears, including manual mode or S gear, to significantly reduce the risk of excessive clutch overheating caused by continuous gear shifting. 3. Dual Clutch Issues: With technological advancements, while dual clutch transmissions still have some lingering issues such as jerking and sluggish gear shifts, these problems are not widespread. Overall, they are quite reliable in quality and can meet daily driving needs.

How Long is the Warranty for BYD Charging Piles?

BYD charging piles come with a 5-year warranty. Below is additional information: 1. Waterproof performance standards for charging piles: During the construction of charging piles, waterproof materials are applied to the base of the charging facilities, ensuring the lower 20~30 cm of the charging pile body has flood-resistant capabilities. National standards for the waterproof performance of charging piles are very strict. Both the vehicle side and the pile side must undergo insulation testing before charging can commence. If the insulation test fails (due to rain or debris), charging cannot be initiated. 2. Materials used in charging piles: Most charging piles are made of SMC fiberglass, which ensures long-term outdoor use and resistance to complex weather conditions. Moreover, modern charging piles are internet-connected, allowing the operational status of each charging pile to be monitored in real-time via a backend system. In case of any issues or malfunctions, alerts can be received immediately through the backend, ensuring charging safety. Despite the waterproof materials used in charging piles, it is recommended to avoid charging during heavy rain.

Is there a difference between car film and car wrap?

Car wrap is a type of vehicle film application, where high-molecular polymer materials are adhered to the car's paint surface to protect the original paint and decorate the vehicle body. The specific details are as follows: 1. Full car film: This refers to applying film to all the car's windows, excluding the car body and side mirrors. 2. Car wrap: This does not damage the original car paint and enhances its protection. Additional information: Car wrap, specifically designed for vehicle body film application, is a high-performance, low-viscosity PVC film. It fully adheres to the car's paint surface and various substrate surfaces of the interior, offering advantages such as easier application, better flexibility, durability, chemical resistance, and stronger opacity. Full car film includes a wear-resistant layer composed of abrasion-resistant polyurethane, which can withstand friction damage from regular washing. The PET safety base layer is made from high-strength, high-transparency PET polyester and pigments through bi-directional stretching via melt extrusion. Dyes can also be added to produce varieties of different colors.
