You can use a touch-up paint pen for repairs. Here are the measures for car paint repair: 1. Waxing: For minor scratches where the damage is not deep and only the top layer of paint is affected, waxing can be used to repair the scratched paint. 2. DIY Touch-up Painting: If the damage has reached the base coat and some of it has chipped off, you can try DIY touch-up painting. You need to purchase a touch-up paint pen kit online with the same color code, which will include all necessary tools such as sandpaper, putty, polish, etc. 3. Applying Toothpaste: When the scratch is more severe, applying toothpaste is a remedial method to avoid further erosion. The method is simple: just apply toothpaste to the scratch and rub it counterclockwise with a soft cloth. This can slightly reduce the visibility of the scratch and prevent air from eroding the car paint.

Why Does a Car Lose Power When It Rains?

Rain can cause a car to lose power possibly due to aging wires leading to short circuits in wet conditions, thereby increasing the battery's self-discharge. It is advisable to check the car's wiring. Additional Information: If the car battery is dead, you can seek assistance from another vehicle to jump-start the engine. Once the engine is running, the alternator will operate, allowing the battery to recharge. When a car is left unused for an extended period, the battery will self-discharge, potentially leaving it without power when you next try to use the car, making it impossible to start the engine. For long-term storage, you can disconnect the battery's negative terminal. During regular maintenance, have a technician use professional equipment to test the battery's internal resistance and voltage. If the voltage and internal resistance do not meet standard values, it indicates that the battery needs replacement.

What is the difference in fuel consumption between 4WD and 2WD?

4WD and 2WD have different fuel consumption levels, with 4WD having higher overall fuel consumption and 2WD having lower overall fuel consumption. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Overview: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain distance at a specific speed. It is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. Manufacturers measure this value under controlled conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, convert it into speed parameters, and then calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Others: Since most vehicles approach their most economical speed at around 90 km/h, the publicly announced theoretical fuel consumption is usually based on the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h.

How to Check for Undercarriage Scratches?

You can directly use a lift to raise the vehicle and inspect for any scratches on the undercarriage. Below is relevant information about the vehicle undercarriage: 1. Introduction: The vehicle undercarriage consists of four parts: the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. The undercarriage's function is to support and mount the vehicle's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the vehicle, receiving the engine's power to enable movement and ensure normal driving. 2. Methods to Protect the Vehicle Undercarriage: (1) If the protective area of the engine guard is deemed too small, consider applying a layer of undercarriage armor to the vehicle's undercarriage. (2) Install an engine guard. The engine guard can protect the engine from road debris impacts and foreign object scratches, but this practical configuration is not available on all vehicle models.

What is the thickness of the front and rear anti-collision beams of the Tiggo 8plus?

The Tiggo 8plus is equipped with a relatively thin front and rear anti-collision beam. Below is relevant information about the Tiggo 8plus: 1. Body dimensions: The Tiggo 8plus has a length, width, and height of 4722/1860/1745mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. It is 22mm longer than the Tiggo 8, with minimal changes in width and height. It supports three seating layouts: 5-seat, 6-seat, and 7-seat. 2. Vehicle configuration: The high-end models of the Tiggo 8plus come with 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, while the base models offer 18-inch wheels with a slightly less stylish design compared to the photographed model. The tires are Continental UltraContact UC6-235/50-R19.

Can People Stay in the Car While Charging an Electric Vehicle?

People can stay in the car while charging an electric vehicle, but it is not recommended to remain inside for extended periods. During charging, the car is connected to a high-voltage interface, and the charging voltage is relatively high, making it unsafe for occupants. Although the probability is extremely low, electric vehicles have a certain leakage rate. For safety reasons, it is best not to sit in the car while it is charging. Additionally, if you choose to stay in the car, it is advisable to avoid using the air conditioning, audio system, or video displays, as these may affect the charging current speed, leading to simultaneous charging and discharging. Reasons why charging speed significantly slows down when the battery reaches around 80%: Safety considerations: To enhance charging speed, many modern pure electric vehicle chargers feature fast-charging capabilities, typically reaching 80% in about half an hour. However, this method often employs high currents, which can easily cause circuit short circuits or even overload. To mitigate risks, the battery temperature must be maintained within a safe range. Thus, charging speed slows down noticeably once the battery reaches approximately 80%. Extending battery lifespan: As temperature rises, chemical reactions inside the battery accelerate, and the chemical activity of the battery cells diminishes. This manifests as increased internal resistance, reduced output power, and degraded performance. Therefore, during charging, the speed is reduced around the 80% mark to maintain optimal battery performance by lowering the temperature and slowing internal chemical reactions. Cycle life limitations: Battery lifespan is typically measured in charge-discharge cycles. Lithium-ion batteries gradually degrade with each cycle. After a certain number of cycles, battery performance declines significantly. Excess heat and rising temperatures during charging can also impact cycle life and trigger unwanted side reactions within the battery.

What are the reasons why a Verna won't start without any fault codes?

Verna won't start without any fault codes for the following reasons: 1. Battery failure: The battery is faulty and cannot store power. 2. Starter motor failure: The starter motor is faulty and cannot drive the flywheel to rotate. Check if the starter motor is working when starting the vehicle. 3. Ignition system failure: The vehicle's ignition system is faulty. Disconnect one of the ignition high-voltage wires on the engine. 4. Fuel supply system failure: The vehicle's fuel supply system is faulty. Disconnect the fuel pipe connector on the engine, turn the ignition switch to the position where the dashboard lights come on (without the starter operating), and observe whether fuel flows out. If fuel flows out, the fuel supply system is fine; if not, continue checking.
