If the car water pump is broken, it should be replaced with a new one promptly as it cannot be repaired. Symptoms of a broken car water pump: 1. Water leakage can be minor or severe. Minor leakage will only leave traces of coolant color on the pump's ventilation holes, while severe leakage leads to rapid coolant loss, causing the engine temperature to rise and damaging various components, potentially resulting in cylinder explosion or even engine destruction; 2. Weak circulation ability. If the water pump's circulation ability is weak, the water temperature will rise, especially noticeable during summer in southern regions; 3. If there is an issue with the internal bearings of the water pump, abnormal noises may occur under the drive of the belt.

What is the normal water temperature when driving?

The normal water temperature while driving is around 90 degrees. The engine temperature is usually sensed by the water temperature sensor, and the normal engine temperature is linked to the water temperature. Typically, the optimal engine water temperature is around 90 degrees. The engine temperature varies under different operating conditions: in a cold state, the temperature is around 85 degrees, while in a hot state, the water temperature can exceed 100 degrees. Reasons for high water temperature in a car: 1. Insufficient coolant; 2. Radiator leakage; 3. Cooling fan malfunction; 4. Thermostat failure; 5. Water pump failure. Reasons for low water temperature: 1. Damaged thermostat preventing it from closing; 2. Cooling fan malfunction causing it to run continuously.

What is ACC?

ACC stands for Adaptive Cruise Control, which is generally applied to higher-end vehicles. Below is relevant information about ACC: 1. Introduction: The Adaptive Cruise Control system is an intelligent automatic control system developed from the existing cruise control technology. 2. Principle: During vehicle operation, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensor collects speed signals. When the distance to the vehicle in front becomes too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to apply appropriate braking to the wheels and reduce engine output power, ensuring the vehicle maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

Is It Normal to Have Moisture Inside the Headlights?

No, it is not normal. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Large temperature differences in winter can cause condensation inside the headlights: In the structure of car headlights, there is a ventilation tube connected to the outside. Its purpose is to allow the expanded gas inside the headlights to escape when the headlights are turned on and the temperature rises. When the headlights are turned off, the temperature drops, creating a pressure difference inside, which draws in outside air through the ventilation tube. If the air is humid, it can cause condensation inside the headlights, forming moisture. 2. Moisture is likely to form after heavy rain or car washing: If care is not taken during car washing, such as directly spraying the engine compartment or headlights with a high-pressure water jet, water droplets can flow directly inside. When the vehicle wades through water, since the engine and exhaust system are significant heat sources, rainwater falling on them can generate a large amount of steam. Some of this steam may enter the headlights through the ventilation tube.

What is the Lifetime Warranty for the First Owner?

The first batch of owners who purchase designated vehicle models can enjoy a lifetime warranty. Here are the relevant details: 1. The conditions for these restrictions include: the first owner; the vehicle must be maintained at a 4S shop for its entire lifetime; only the three major components are covered, and already damaged parts are not covered; the lifetime warranty will be voided if major components are replaced. The lifetime warranty is not the same as the vehicle warranty. 2. Additional information: The lifetime warranty is the manufacturer's commitment to the quality of the vehicle at the time of production, and not all damaged parts are covered for free repair. If the vehicle incurs a series of maintenance and repair costs due to normal wear and tear or component deterioration during regular use, and not due to the product itself, these are not covered under the lifetime warranty. This includes but is not limited to oil changes, fluid top-ups, tire rotation, engine carbon cleaning, oil and fuel filter replacements, and engine belt replacements. In summary, the lifetime warranty covers the replacement of parts damaged under non-human circumstances, excluding already damaged components.

What does the FAW-Volkswagen Dual Protection 1699 Package include?

It refers to the additional protection cost beyond the free warranty, with a total payment covering a 6-year warranty. Typically, the warranty period for vehicles is 3 years, but with the Dual Protection, the warranty period extends to 6 years. Here are the relevant details: 1. Vehicle warranty period: During the warranty period, not all repair costs are waived; it depends on the free items specified by the manufacturer. Usually, the owner's manual and the after-sales departments of various car 4S stores have relevant written explanations. 2. Warranty service: Failure to follow the prescribed maintenance schedule. After purchasing a new car, if the owner does not take it to the designated 4S store or the manufacturer's authorized service station for regular maintenance as specified in the transaction price model details, any issues that arise, even within the warranty period, will require the owner to pay a certain repair cost. Unauthorized vehicle modifications. Not covering modified vehicles is almost a consensus among all manufacturers regarding warranty issues. Some brands even stipulate in their warranty terms that if the owner changes the vehicle's purpose without authorization, such as for rental, leasing, or competitive racing, it will be considered an automatic forfeiture of the warranty rights.
