If the vehicle has already met the criteria for being totaled, the insurance company will provide full compensation under the comprehensive coverage, deducting only a portion of the residual value. If the vehicle does not meet the criteria for being totaled, the insurance company will compensate based on the actual damage within the coverage limit. If the vehicle is submerged while driving, it can easily cause engine damage. In this case, an engine-specific water damage coverage (commonly known as "flood insurance") is required for the claim.

What is the wading depth of the Audi Q5?

600mm. Below are the specific details regarding the relevant content: Depth: The wading depth of a car refers to the height of the engine's air intake. For most compact and small cars with low ground clearance, the position of the air intake serves as the benchmark when driving through flooded roads. Note: The function of the air intake is to draw in air. If the water depth exceeds the height of the air intake, a large amount of water will be sucked into the engine, causing severe damage to the car. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to the water depth and driving speed when navigating through flooded areas. Characteristics: The car is easy to drive in daily use, with sufficient low-end torque. The engine responds immediately to even slight changes in throttle input, and you can feel a noticeable increase in torque without downshifting. Thus, there is no need to worry about the engine's performance, as it performs exceptionally well.

How to Determine if the Clutch is Faulty?

Methods to determine if the clutch is faulty: 1. If you cannot shift gears when pressing the clutch, it indicates a clutch problem; 2. Engage first gear, hold the brake, and slowly release the clutch. If the engine does not stall easily, there is a clutch issue; 3. With the handbrake engaged, release the clutch. If the car stalls immediately, the clutch is functioning properly. If the RPM drops and then the engine stalls, there is a clutch problem. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission.

How much more fuel can be added after the tank is full?

After the fuel tank is full, an additional 3 to 6 liters of fuel can be added, depending on the specific vehicle model. Different models have varying capacities for continued fueling after the pump nozzle automatically shuts off. Things car owners should pay attention to when refueling include: 1. Before refueling, check if the fuel pump display has been reset to zero; 2. Qualified fuel pumps are labeled with a "Mandatory Inspection Passed" tag, while unqualified ones are labeled with an "Out of Service" tag. The fuel tank is a container in the vehicle for storing fuel, specifically designed for holding hydraulic oil or fluid in hydraulic systems. It can be categorized into open-type and closed-type tanks. The fuel tank must have sufficient volume, with the suction and return pipes inserted below the minimum liquid level to prevent air suction and splashing that can create bubbles. The distance between the suction and return pipes should be as far apart as possible, with a partition installed between them.
