The methods to deal with scratches and dents on a new car are: 1. Pull-out method: Insert the hot melt glue stick from the back of the glue gun, plug the glue gun into a power socket, set the glue gun to a higher temperature, preheat for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the hot melt glue to completely melt, pull the trigger of the glue gun, apply the melted glue to the traction pad, and then pull it outward; 2. Pry-up method: Remove the interior panel of the door, pry open the fixing clips of the door panel, disconnect the wiring harness on the door panel, and insert a tool into the door to pry it. The methods to maintain the vehicle are: 1. Do not wash the car under the sun to prevent the paint from cracking due to sudden temperature changes; 2. Regularly inspect the car's paint surface and promptly address any cracks or dents found.

I just bought a new car not long ago and got a small scratch with a dent. It really hurts! How to deal with this depends on the severity of the dent. If it's just a minor dent without paint damage, you can consider using car dent repair tools sold online, like suction cups or hot glue sticks, to try pulling it out yourself. It's low cost and simple to operate. But beginners shouldn't mess around too much—if you make it worse, it'll be more troublesome. It's best to take photos of the scene first for insurance purposes. For serious dents, definitely go to a professional auto shop or 4S store for inspection. They have professional equipment for seamless repairs, with costs ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan. The key is not to delay—new cars exposed to air can rust faster, affecting their lifespan. Safe driving is the golden rule. In the future, park away from debris to prevent problems before they happen.

What Causes Transmission Jerking During Upshifting?

Transmission jerking during upshifting can be caused by: 1. The upshift speed not keeping up with the driver's throttle input; 2. When the driver releases the throttle pedal or steps on the brake pedal, causing the engine speed to be out of sync with the clutch disc speed; 3. Malfunction in the transmission gear program; 4. Internal contamination or presence of impurities in the transmission; 5. Poor transmission cooling. The reason for the jerking sensation in the transmission is: the impact feeling generated by the inertia of the moving parts inside the engine. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine. It can either fix or change the gear ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft, and it consists of the gear transmission mechanism and the control mechanism.

What Does Car Performance Mean?

Under certain usage conditions, the ability of a car to work with the highest efficiency is referred to as its performance. The six major performance aspects of a car are power performance, fuel economy, braking performance, handling stability, ride comfort, and off-road capability. These characteristics determine the efficiency and convenience of a car's utilization. Below is an introduction to car performance: 1. Fuel Economy: The fuel economy of a car is commonly measured by the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under specific driving conditions or the distance a car can travel with a certain amount of fuel. In China and Europe, the unit for fuel economy is L/100km, which represents the liters of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers. The lower this number, the better the fuel economy, meaning the car is more fuel-efficient. 2. Off-Road Capability: Off-road capability refers to a vehicle's ability to navigate through certain road conditions. A vehicle with strong off-road capability can easily climb steep slopes, safely drive through rivers of certain depths, and travel at high speeds on rough mountain roads. In urban settings, it eliminates worries about parking on or off curbs. In short, it allows you to reach places that other vehicles might not, giving you a sense of conquering nature.
