There are two methods to repair a dented rear fender: The first method: If the car body is dented and the paint is chipped, it is recommended to perform bodywork and repainting, which costs approximately 300 to 500 RMB. The second method: If there is no paint damage, you can try dent repair technology: 1. Use a wooden stick to reach into the gap and pry outward with force to roughly push out the dent and restore it to its original shape. 2. Use a dolly inside to support the smaller protruding parts, then use a hammer to tap the protruding parts from the outer surface. 3. For the edges of the fender, use a specialized dolly to support from the inside, gradually moving the dolly to restore the edge to its original shape.

Last time I backed into a utility pole and dented the right rear fender about the size of my palm – it broke my heart. I drove to my regular repair shop, and the mechanic said this area connects to the body frame, so it couldn’t be removed and hammered separately. They first used a strong suction cup to pull it outward, then carefully pushed it back into shape with professional tools through the door frame gap. After the repair, I couldn’t feel any trace by hand, and the key was the excellent paintwork—the paint-matching technician spent half an hour comparing color cards, applied three layers of clear coat after spraying, and now it looks completely untouched. The whole process took two days and cost 1,800, but the result was definitely worth the price.

What are the effects of small parts falling into the engine compartment?

If small parts fall into the engine compartment, there is no impact as long as they are not flammable or explosive items. The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, serving as the heart of the car, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids, among others. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other maintenance areas. 3. Purpose of car maintenance: The goal of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

How long does it take for a car to cool down from overheating?

It takes about half an hour for an overheated car to cool down. Here are the specific reasons for car overheating: 1. Insufficient coolant: Coolant leakage or low coolant levels can cause the engine temperature to rise. In this case, check the coolant level and top it up if necessary. Recheck the level after a few days to see if it has dropped significantly. If so, locate the leak. 2. Faulty cooling fan: When the vehicle is running at high speeds, heat cannot be effectively transferred to the coolant, affecting heat dissipation and causing the coolant temperature to rise, which may lead to boiling. 3. Faulty water pump: Water pump failures can include seized bearings or damaged impellers. Seized bearings are rare, but damaged impellers, such as cracked impellers or impellers loosened from the pump shaft, can slow down coolant circulation, leading to engine overheating. 4. Faulty thermostat: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, changing the water circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity and ensure the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. If the thermostat fails, the car's cooling system may not enter the major circulation mode, causing the water temperature to rise.

Is There a 1-to-3 Compensation for Buying a Flood-Damaged Used Car?

There is a 1-to-3 compensation for buying a flood-damaged used car. If you discover that the vehicle you purchased is flood-damaged, the first thing to do is to stop using the vehicle immediately and seek a professional, qualified assessment agency for evaluation. Use the inspection report as corresponding judicial evidence. Additionally, in cases of consumer fraud such as flood-damaged cars, it is recommended to first contact the local consumer association for solutions. Here are some methods to check for flood-damaged cars: 1. Open the hood: Check the radiator, air conditioning heat sink, and front radiator panel (viewed from below) for any remaining sludge. 2. Front and rear seats: Inspect the springs and inner burlap for residual sludge and a musty smell. 3. Check the trunk seats: Look for hidden sludge in the dead corners of the rear wheel wells on both sides. 4. Middle of front and rear doors: Visible sludge lines indicate the flood water level (due to too many hard-to-clean seams in the door pillars). 5. Front and rear windshield rubber seals: Use a screwdriver to pry them open (from inside the car). If there is sludge inside, it is a fully submerged car. If the water level exceeded the hood, it is considered a fully submerged car.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound in the Engine Compartment?

The squeaking sound in the engine compartment may be caused by belt slippage. It could also be a sharp noise from dry friction between metal components during engine operation. This is generally due to damage to the bearings of the generator, water pump, or power steering pump. If the sound resembles engine air leakage, it might result from a blocked exhaust system, a leaking or broken vacuum tube. Below is an introduction to car engines: 1. Engine Classification: Based on the power source, car engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors for electric vehicles, and hybrid systems, among others. 2. Engine Principle: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement to output power. Gasoline engines have high rotational speeds, are lightweight, produce less noise, are easy to start, and have lower manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have a higher compression ratio, better thermal efficiency, and superior economic and emission performance compared to gasoline engines.

Can the clutch be released after ignition?

Yes, the clutch can be released after ignition. Here are the specific details about the car clutch: 1. Cause of failure: It usually starts with excessive wear of the clutch plate and ends with engine idling and clutch damage. Therefore, in terms of response, it mainly involves judging the wear stage and damage degree to prevent further deterioration of the wear. 2. Maintenance: Reduce the frequency and duration of half-clutch. Manual transmissions are different from dual-clutch transmissions, as the frequency and duration of half-clutch can be completely controlled, thereby reducing clutch wear. Most of the wear in dual-clutch transmissions occurs during low-speed driving, so mastering the manual mode during low-speed stages can extend the service life of the clutch.
