Why is water coming out of a sedan's exhaust pipe?

The reasons for water coming out of a sedan's exhaust pipe are: 1. The water discharged from the car's exhaust pipe is accumulated water from high-speed engine operation; 2. The tailpipe at the rear of the vehicle is actually a main muffler, whose primary function is to reduce engine exhaust noise and minimize environmental pollution from vehicle noise. Since the main muffler is located at the rear of the car where temperatures are relatively low, its multi-chamber structure easily accumulates water; 3. During high-speed engine operation, the accumulated water is expelled by airflow, resulting in the common water spray phenomenon. Vehicles frequently driven at low speeds on congested roads, especially in winter, tend to experience slightly more severe water accumulation in the muffler.

What to Do When a Tire Gets Scratched?

If a tire gets scratched, it must be removed from the rim and inspected by a professional tire dealer to determine if it can be repaired. The following situations indicate that the tire cannot be repaired: 1. The sidewall cannot be repaired. During driving, the sidewall flexes and deforms, which is a deformation zone. Repair materials may fall off, leading to air leakage. 2. If the puncture hole in the tread exceeds 6 mm in diameter, it cannot be repaired. 3. If there is damage or deformation to the bead, tread deformation, rubber corrosion by chemicals, or damage due to running flat. 4. Other abnormal conditions that make the tire unrepairable, such as visible signs of driving underinflated (e.g., sidewall scuff marks, air barrier bubbles, etc.), indicate that the tire structure may already be compromised and no longer usable.
