A slightly deformed small car wheel hub can have significant impacts and is highly likely to cause direct fracture of the hub if it hits an obstacle while driving. About wheel hub material: Aluminum alloy, as a metal material, can be bent back into shape like a straightened wire, but after two or three attempts, it will break—let alone a large wheel hub. If the hub is forcibly restored to its original shape, it may look new externally, but its internal structure becomes very fragile. If the repaired area is impacted again during driving, the hub could fracture directly, leading to a serious traffic accident. Repair method: First, cushion the dented area with sponge or cloth, then use a hammer to forcefully flatten the dent. The flattened area will be uneven, so use body filler (commonly known as putty) to smooth it out. Afterward, roughen the inside of the hub with sandpaper to prepare for the next step—painting.

How Does Water Damage Insurance Work?

First, the vehicle is parked on the roadside or in an underground garage, and water enters the vehicle due to excessive water depth; second, the vehicle drives into a waterlogged area while in motion, causing it to stall. You need to call the insurance company to report the claim. Due to heavy rain causing large-scale vehicle water damage, the insurance company may not arrive on time, so it's important to take photos promptly. When a vehicle is parked on the roadside or in an underground garage and gets submerged, as long as it does not involve starting the vehicle in the water, you can file a claim under the vehicle damage insurance in this situation.

What Causes the Jerking Sensation When Pressing the Throttle at Low Speed in a Civic?

Civic experiencing a jerking sensation when pressing the throttle at low speed can be a normal phenomenon in some cases, while in others, it may indicate a vehicle malfunction that requires timely inspection. The specific causes and precautions are as follows: Specific reasons for jerking when pressing the throttle: Normal phenomenon: The jerking sensation when pressing the throttle may occur in manual transmission models when driving in a semi-clutch state, where both accelerating and decelerating can cause jerking—the deeper the throttle is pressed, the more pronounced the jerking. For automatic transmission models, there may be a slight jerking sensation during upshifting, which becomes more noticeable when forcefully downshifting and then upshifting with a heavy throttle. Another normal phenomenon: Jerking when pressing the throttle can also be due to excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, fuel injectors, and intake manifold. Carbon buildup can lead to various malfunctions, and in some vehicles, it may cause jerking. Regular carbon cleaning is recommended. Other causes include substandard fuel quality leading to incomplete combustion, or faults in spark plugs and ignition coils causing cylinder misfires. These issues require inspection and repair at a service center to avoid further safety hazards. Precautions for jerking when pressing the throttle: Engine power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, more gears usually mean better fuel efficiency. When towing an automatic transmission vehicle due to a malfunction, it is best to lift the drive wheels before towing. Additionally, the towing speed should not be too fast—preferably no more than 35 km/h—and the towing distance should not be too long, ideally within 65 km.

How to Shift Gears in the Subject 3 Road Test?

Here are the techniques for shifting gears in the Subject 3 road test: 1. When starting the vehicle, use first gear: Always depress the clutch fully when shifting gears; otherwise, you may encounter difficulty engaging the gear. 2. Shift gears progressively: Accelerate to upshift and decelerate to downshift. Ensure that the speed matches the gear, and shift gears one step at a time without skipping. When decelerating, reduce the speed first before shifting. If you accidentally shift into the wrong gear, fully depress the clutch and shift again. 3. Shift quickly but smoothly: When adjusting gears, shift promptly once the speed drops. Speed is crucial, especially during the 100-meter acceleration and deceleration test, which evaluates the driver's shifting speed.
