First, use a wrench to pry off the surface casing of the damaged rearview mirror. Insert your hand behind the glass and pull outward to remove the mirror. Then, unscrew the four screws to detach the frame and rear casing. Prepare the new rearview mirror, align it with the screw holes, and tighten the screws.

What are the reasons for high car water temperature?

The reasons for high car water temperature are: 1. Insufficient coolant: Coolant leakage or insufficient coolant can cause the engine water temperature to rise. Check the coolant level and add it to the appropriate level if necessary. Then, check the level again after a few days to see if it has dropped significantly. 2. Cooling fan failure: When the vehicle is running at high speed, the heat generated cannot be transferred to the antifreeze in time, affecting heat dissipation and causing the antifreeze temperature to rise, leading to boiling issues. 3. Water pump failure: Water pump failures include bearing seizure and impeller damage. Bearing seizure is relatively rare, while impeller damage is more common, such as impeller cracking or detachment from the pump shaft, which slows down the coolant circulation and can easily cause the engine to overheat.

What Causes Rapid Antifreeze Consumption?

The main reasons for rapid antifreeze consumption are: 1. Radiator damage, where poor sealing of the upper and lower water chambers causes coolant leakage; 2. Overflow tank, water pump joint surfaces, and loose connections in the cooling system pipes leading to coolant leakage. Solutions for rapid antifreeze consumption: Regularly inspect all sealing points and connections, ensure tight fastening where necessary, and avoid reusing leak-proof gaskets or tape. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, thereby avoiding radiator cracking and engine cylinder block or head damage due to freezing.

How to Repair Small Dents on a Car?

Methods to repair small dents on a car: 1. Point the nozzle of a hair dryer at the dented area of the car, keeping the distance neither too close (to avoid melting the paint due to high temperature) nor too far (to ensure the repair effect); 2. After using the hair dryer, prepare a cover to shield the dented area—aluminum foil is recommended due to its excellent heat insulation, which helps maintain the temperature at the dent; 3. Place dry ice on the aluminum foil, wearing thick gloves to prevent burns, and use a stand to hold the dry ice in place; 4. For small dents, there's no need to move the dry ice back and forth, but for larger dents, move the dry ice around to ensure even cooling of the dented area; 5. After some time, if you hear a metallic sound, it indicates that the car dent is returning to its original shape. This method utilizes the principle of thermal expansion and contraction—the significant temperature difference between high heat and extreme cold causes the car's metal to deform, thereby restoring the dent.

Are all cars automatic transmission now?

Not all cars are automatic transmission now. Currently, basically all types of vehicles have both automatic and manual transmissions. Many car owners now prefer automatic transmission models. The advantage of automatic transmission over manual transmission is that it is easier to drive. Automatic transmission cars do not have a clutch, and both the accelerator and brake pedals are operated with the right foot. When driving, you only need to hold the steering wheel with your hands and control the accelerator and brake with your right foot. Automatic transmission cars usually use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the liquid is limited and insufficient to push the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the forward gear and the brake pedal is released, as the accelerator is pressed and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.

What is the normal temperature displayed for car coolant?

The normal temperature displayed for car coolant is between 80 degrees Celsius and 90 degrees Celsius. When the car engine is operating normally, it requires a certain working temperature. Temperatures that are too high or too low are not conducive to the normal operation and performance of the engine. On the other hand, the heat generated by the engine's operation is difficult to meet the demand with conventional air cooling. Therefore, water-cooling heat conduction design is widely used in car engines. The function of the cooling system is to keep the engine working within the most favorable temperature range, thereby improving the engine's power, reducing engine wear and fuel consumption. Both excessively high and low temperatures will have adverse effects on the engine's operation.
