If the owner only purchases vehicle damage insurance and the vehicle is flooded, they can only receive compensation for damages to parts other than the engine, while the repair costs for engine damage must be borne by the owner themselves. If the owner purchases the main vehicle damage insurance and additionally buys water damage insurance, the insurance company will compensate for all damages caused by flooding, including the engine. Below are methods for identifying flood-damaged and accident vehicles: 1. Check the car locks: Look for signs of being pried open, damaged, or filled with glue. Then use the key to open each door to see if the locks are from the same set and whether each door lock can be turned easily. Note that if turning the key is very difficult or the key almost breaks before the door opens, it might be due to flooding causing the central control motor to rust and malfunction. 2. Engine compartment: Inspect the mounting brackets for the lighting and signal light groups in the engine compartment for breaks or looseness. Check the wire connectors and sockets; if there is a large amount of sediment or rust spots inside, it may indicate a flood-damaged vehicle.

Can a Car Key Still Work After Being Washed in the Washing Machine?

If a car key has been washed in the washing machine, it can generally still be used. Additional Information: Precautions: When a car key has been accidentally washed in the washing machine, avoid shaking it forcefully, as this can spread the moisture inside the key and potentially increase the damage. Additionally, do not rush to press the buttons to check if it still works—testing the key while it is wet significantly raises the risk of malfunction, as the circuit chip inside may get damaged or burned. Car Key Functions: Car keys typically include features such as a car locator, the ability to close windows after turning off the engine, automatic trunk opening, remote window control, and the option to unlock only the driver's door.

What are the effects of ethanol gasoline on cars?

Effects of ethanol gasoline on cars: 1. Corrosion of metal. During the combustion process, ethanol produces acetic acid, which can corrode metal or plastic components of the car; 2. Increased fuel consumption. The calorific value of ethanol is about 30% lower than that of gasoline, reducing combustion efficiency and increasing the car's fuel consumption; 3. Reduced power performance. The evaporation temperature of ethanol is higher than that of gasoline, leading to slower vaporization during combustion, which affects the formation of the air-fuel mixture and results in decreased power. When using ethanol gasoline, note the following: 1. Before filling up with ethanol gasoline for the first time, be sure to clean the fuel system and remove engine carbon deposits; 2. Avoid mixing ethanol gasoline with regular gasoline or alternating between them.
