What is a reasonable compensation for paint defects in a new car?

Generally, 4S stores will not compensate for paint defects in new cars. At most, they will help with repairs or offer a replacement. Here are some precautions to avoid vehicle defects when picking up your car: Inspect the car in a well-lit area: Many 4S stores take customers to relatively simple garages for inspection, where the lighting is insufficient, making it difficult for the owner to see minor defects on the car body. Therefore, always remember to inspect the car carefully under good lighting conditions. Observe the paint from different angles: A good paint surface should be smooth and clean, without wave-like patterns. Metallic and pearlescent paints can also be judged by the uniformity of internal aluminum powder and particles to determine the integrity of the paint. Remember to check for color differences between each panel.

How to Determine if the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve is Faulty?

Methods to determine if the EGR valve is faulty are as follows: When the EGR valve is damaged, it cannot control the amount of exhaust gas recirculation: Excessive exhaust gas participating in recirculation will affect the ignition and performance of the air-fuel mixture, thereby impacting the engine's power output. Especially during engine idling, low-speed operation, small load conditions, and when the engine is cold, the recirculated exhaust gas will significantly affect engine performance, leading to engine warning alerts. Oil burning: A damaged EGR valve can cause the car to burn oil, resulting in severe blue smoke from the exhaust. The reason is that the EGR valve also functions as an oil-gas separator. When working properly, it only draws in exhaust gas and not oil. If the EGR valve is damaged and loses its oil-gas separation function, it will draw in oil along with the air, allowing oil to enter the intake manifold and combustion chamber, causing oil burning and severe blue smoke from the exhaust.

What to Do If the Outside of the Windshield Fogs Up and Won't Go Away?

Solutions for removing fog from the outside of the windshield are as follows: Anti-Fog Spray Prevention Method: Spray a small amount of anti-fog agent on the car windows (inner surface), then wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains from the glass. While polishing the glass, a thin transparent protective film is formed on the surface, which effectively prevents the condensation of water vapor on the glass, thereby avoiding fog formation. Air Conditioning Cooling Method: Use the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car, if the air conditioning is not turned on in time, the high humidity of exhaled air can quickly cause the windshield to fog up. Air Conditioning Heating Method: In winter, use the heater to blow warm air onto the glass, quickly raising the temperature of the front windshield. This reduces the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the glass, preventing excessive fogging. However, it should be noted that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it takes longer to completely remove all the fog.
