What are the effects of long-term exposure to sunlight on cars?

The effects of long-term exposure to sunlight on cars are as follows: 1. Severe oxidation and aging of the car: The most severely affected part is the car paint. Prolonged exposure to sunlight reduces the gloss of the paint, making it appear dull and significantly aged. As the color fades, the paint may gradually peel and crack. White cars may turn yellow, which is a clear sign of sun damage and weathering. 2. Interior aging: After the interior materials are exposed to high temperatures, some harmful substances are released, which are detrimental to the health of the driver and passengers. The various components of the interior also age rapidly. Over-aging of rubber parts and seals can lead to water leakage into the car, and poor wiring may cause electrical leakage issues.

What Causes Body Vibration When Accelerating?

Fuel system issues, electrical circuit problems, mechanical reasons. Below are the reasons for vehicle vibration when accelerating hard: 1. Fuel system issues: Generally caused by fuel line blockage, leading to poor fuel supply, manifested as engine vibration, unstable idle, or stalling while driving. Additionally, fuel pump failure can also cause engine vibration. 2. Electrical circuit problems: Check if the timing is accurate. Generally, abnormal ignition is a timing issue. Inspect whether the spark plugs are aged, if the gaps are uniform, and if the gaps have changed. Also, malfunctioning of the distributor can cause engine vibration. 3. Mechanical reasons: Check the engine's operating condition for any abnormal sounds, such as valve noise. Inspect the belt's working condition to see if it's loose.
