Here are specific methods and solutions for determining if a car has water intrusion: 1. Check the oil dipstick: If the dipstick is pulled out, wiped clean, reinserted, and comes out whitish, it indicates water intrusion. Solution: Replace the engine oil and oil filter. 2. Observe the oil color: If it appears milky white, it means water has entered and emulsified the oil. Solution: Replace the engine oil immediately to avoid engine damage. 3. Check for difficulty in ignition: Inspect if the coolant in the radiator is cloudy, has oil droplets, or has increased in volume. Solution: Seek after-sales service for repairs or replacement.

What is the correct operation method for a manual transmission car?

The correct operation method for a manual transmission car is: 1. When starting, press the clutch pedal all the way down, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, slowly release the clutch, and lightly press the accelerator while releasing the clutch; 2. Shift gears quickly and avoid looking down during gear changes; 3. Do not skip gears when shifting. Always shift up or down one gear at a time. Skipping gears during shifting can cause discontinuous power delivery; 4. Do not coast in neutral when going downhill, as it reduces the engine braking effect; 5. Drive at a slower speed in rainy or snowy conditions. The principle of a manual transmission is to manually move the gear lever to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. Precautions for starting a manual transmission car: 1. Do not release the clutch too quickly; lift it slowly; 2. Press the accelerator only after the engine and drive shaft are connected; 3. Lightly press the accelerator during the semi-engagement phase, then release the clutch.
