New Fit engine is a four-cylinder. What are the characteristics of Fit engine: The Fit 1.3L is equipped with an I-DSI engine featuring a four-cylinder eight-valve, single overhead camshaft design. Its valve rocker arms must be positioned directly above the cylinders, which determines that the spark plugs cannot be placed in the center of the cylinders, reducing ignition efficiency. In this case, this engine adopts a dual-spark-plug structural design to enhance ignition efficiency while ensuring more complete combustion, thereby improving fuel economy. How to protect the engine: Use high-quality engine oil, use qualified coolant (antifreeze), regularly clean the radiator scale, periodically remove carbon deposits from the car, replace the three filters on time, and maintain a reasonable engine speed.

Is it necessary to go to a 4S shop to replace the bumper?

It is not necessary to go to a 4S shop. Replacing the bumper itself does not pose any technical difficulties, and general mechanics can handle it. The main difference is that the bumpers at 4S shops are usually sourced directly from the manufacturer, offering better quality, while repair shops outside typically use aftermarket parts, which are often of inferior quality. Here are some related introductions: Introduction to car bumpers: The car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. Many years ago, car bumpers were made of steel plates pressed into channel steel, riveted or welded to the frame rails, leaving a noticeable gap from the body, which looked quite unattractive. With the development of the automotive industry and the widespread use of engineering plastics, car bumpers, as an important safety device, have also undergone innovation. The role of car bumpers: Today, the front and rear bumpers of cars not only maintain their original protective functions but also strive for harmony and unity with the vehicle's styling and pursue lightweight design. The front and rear bumpers of cars are made of plastic, commonly referred to as plastic bumpers. Generally, a car's plastic bumper consists of three parts: the outer panel, cushioning material, and crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed from cold-rolled sheet metal pressed into a U-shaped channel; the outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam.

Can I Start the Car If It's Flooded?

No. Theoretically, as long as the water does not submerge the air intake, the engine won't be affected. However, there are too many unpredictable factors. For example, when another car passes by, it may create waves that could splash into the air intake. Additionally, you must drive slowly through the water, and the underwater environment is unknown—even if the surface appears calm. If the car stalls while driving through water, you must not attempt to restart it. Extended Information: During heavy rain, car owners should avoid driving if possible. If driving is necessary, they should steer clear of low-lying areas, such as underpasses, overpasses, or poorly drained roads. Before setting out, plan your route and timing carefully, especially during rush hours, to avoid these low-lying areas where water can accumulate quickly, potentially leaving your car immobilized.

Can I claim insurance if my car is flooded without purchasing water ingress coverage?

Typhoon damage to a vehicle is covered by insurance. One of the insurance liabilities under the vehicle damage insurance is accidental damage or natural disasters. If the car is flooded without water ingress coverage, the claimable scope includes all parts except the engine. Below are specific details about water ingress coverage: Definition: Water ingress coverage, also known as automobile damage insurance or engine special loss insurance, varies in name among insurance companies but is essentially the same. It is a newly derived type of insurance, referring to an additional coverage purchased by the car owner specifically for the engine. Function: It primarily provides compensation for engine damage caused by driving through waterlogged roads or being submerged in water. However, if the car owner forcibly starts the engine after submersion, resulting in damage, the insurance company will not compensate. Additional auto insurance coverages include comprehensive theft insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, vehicle downtime loss insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, and water ingress insurance, among others.
