The methods to repair a cracked car bumper are: 1. If the paint has chipped, use a touch-up paint pen to cover it, apply paint, and then add a polishing wax; 2. When the bumper is subjected to significant force, it may dent. Heating the dented area with a hairdryer's hot air can help restore it; 3. First, weld the cracked area using plastic welding rods, then smooth and repaint it. After the paint dries, polish it. The principle is that plastic becomes elastic when heated, allowing the deformed plastic to return to its original shape under external force. Bumpers are installed at the front and rear of a car, not only for decorative purposes but also as safety devices that absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the vehicle body and ensuring passenger safety.

Will Insurance Companies Compensate for Flooded Vehicles?

According to the relevant provisions of the national motor vehicle insurance clauses, vehicle losses caused by natural disasters such as rainstorms and floods fall under the coverage of auto damage insurance, and the insurance company should provide compensation. However, for engine damage caused by flooding and secondary ignition, auto damage insurance does not cover the loss, but waterlogging insurance does. Below is an introduction to waterlogging insurance: Vehicle Waterlogging Insurance: Also known as engine special loss insurance, it is an additional insurance purchased by the car owner for the engine. Relevant regulations: If the engine damage caused by waterlogging insurance is due to the car owner's belief that the engine was flooded after immersion, the insurance company may not compensate. Determining whether the damage was caused by intentional behavior is difficult, which can easily lead to insurance fraud. Considering their own operational efficiency, insurance companies are reluctant to recommend waterlogging insurance.

Can an out-of-town vehicle be registered locally?

Documents and precautions required for vehicle registration are as follows: Documents required for vehicle registration: The documents needed for vehicle registration include the original and photocopy of ID card, original and photocopy of car invoice, original and photocopy of vehicle qualification certificate, duplicate of compulsory insurance and its photocopy, and tax payment certificate. Bring the relevant documents, drive the car to the vehicle management office, and complete the registration process. Precautions for vehicle registration: It should be noted that county-level vehicle management offices cannot register vehicles for out-of-town owners; registration must be done at the city-level vehicle management office. After purchasing a car, the registration must be completed within 15-30 days according to the validity period of the temporary license plate. New cars must be registered before driving on the road. Driving a new car without registration will result in a fine and 6 points deducted from the driver's license.

What does EBD mean and what are its functions?

EBD stands for Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. Its function is to quickly calculate the varying friction values of the four tires due to different adhesion during vehicle braking, adjust the braking system to make high-speed adjustments according to the set program during movement, achieve the matching of braking force and friction, and ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle. Essentially, EBD can be considered an auxiliary function of ABS. Below is related information: 1. Function: Vehicles equipped with the EBD system will automatically detect the adhesion condition between each wheel and the ground, and appropriately distribute the force generated by the braking system to the four wheels. 2. Enhanced braking force: With the assistance of the EBD system, braking force can achieve optimal efficiency, significantly shortening the braking distance while maintaining vehicle stability during braking, thereby improving driving safety. Additionally, the EBD system also has the function of maintaining vehicle stability when braking in curves, enhancing safety during curve driving.

What Causes Front Wheel Noise When Starting to Turn?

Depending on the vehicle model and design, there are several possible reasons for front wheel noise when starting to turn: 1. Faulty half-shaft or CV joint components; 2. Suspension component failure, such as lack of lubrication, wear, or deformation; 3. Steering mechanism component failure, including tie rods, upper/lower control arms, ball joints, etc.; 4. Front/rear wheel bearing failure due to wear, lack of lubrication, or burnout; 5. Tire deformation or irregular wear caused by wear or quality defects; 6. Front/rear axle (differential) issues from lack of lubrication, component damage, or quality defects; 7. Poor engagement between half-shaft splines and differential internal keys, or spline wear/missing; 8. Shock absorber problems; 9. Issues with thrust bearings (or top mounts).
