Currently, Borgward is considered a domestic brand in China. Here is some extended information: 1. The origin of Borgward: Borgward (BORGWARD) was founded in Bremen, Germany in 1919 by German engineer Carl Borgward. By the 1950s, Borgward had reached its peak, with annual sales exceeding 1 million units, rivaling Audi and BMW. However, in 1961, Borgward suddenly faced financial difficulties, and its arrogant attitude left banks unwilling to assist, ultimately leading to bankruptcy. It wasn't until 2015 that Borgward made a sudden comeback. 2. The return of Borgward: Borgward's revival was primarily due to its acquisition by China's Foton Motor. Under Foton's ownership, Borgward established its global headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, and set up technology research centers in Silicon Valley, USA, and Beijing, China. After its revival, Borgward first launched the BX7 SUV in the Chinese market, followed by models such as the BX5, BX6, and BX7 SUVs.

Does the Magotan GTE have a particulate filter?

The Magotan GTE does not have a particulate filter. The Magotan has launched a total of 6 models. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which can capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the Magotan GTE is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following 3 methods: Check the "Owner's Maintenance Manual" and "Owner's User Manual" to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly states the use of 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Check if there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

How to Handle Insurance Transfer for Motor Vehicles?

After the transfer of a vehicle, the insurance company can be applied for policy cancellation or endorsement. The following are specific details: 1. Apply for cancellation: Cancel the original vehicle insurance and then apply for a new vehicle insurance policy on the Changwang Auto Insurance platform. This method allows the original owner to cancel the previous policy and deduct this part of the value from the vehicle price. Additionally, it is important to note that as the new owner, you will need a new vehicle registration certificate or proof of vehicle transfer to re-insure. 2. Endorsement: Make some changes to the original policy elements, primarily endorsing the insured and the owner. This requires specifying in the vehicle sales contract that the original owner must bring the policy and the vehicle transfer proof to the original insurance company's service outlet for processing. Otherwise, any resulting consequences will be borne by the original owner. Generally, the insurance company will process the endorsement upon receiving a written application. If the insurance company does not approve, it will notify the original owner to cancel the policy and refund the premium. The new owner can then deduct this part of the value from the vehicle price and choose another insurance company for coverage.

Reasons for Insufficient Cooling in the Car

Here are the reasons for insufficient cooling in the car: 1. Insufficient cooling: First, determine if the issue is caused by a clogged air filter, which results in reduced airflow. Many cases fall into this category. If the air is cool enough but the airflow is insufficient, it will feel like the cooling is inadequate. Replacing the air filter can resolve this issue. 2. Clogged air filter: If the airflow remains low even after replacement, and the air conditioning system shows no faults, the issue may be due to excessive dust in the evaporator. In this case, the air conditioning system needs to be cleaned. Generally, it is recommended to replace the air filter twice a year—once in winter and once in summer. Cleaning the air conditioning system should be done once every one or two years, depending on usage frequency, and is best performed in summer, as cleaning is unnecessary for the heating system in winter. 3. Insufficient refrigerant: If the refrigerant level in the air conditioning system's pipelines is too low, the pressure decreases, reducing the amount of heat removed and leading to insufficient cooling. If there is no refrigerant at all, the system will not cool at all. In this case, the refrigerant needs to be refilled, and any leaks should be checked and repaired.

What to Do If You Hit Someone While Reversing?

Here are the steps to take if you hit someone while reversing: 1. Stop immediately: After a traffic accident, the vehicle must stop immediately. After stopping, engage the parking brake as required, turn off the engine, turn on the hazard warning lights, and if the accident occurs at night, also turn on the width lights and tail lights. If the accident happens on a highway, set up a hazard warning sign behind the vehicle as required. 2. Report the incident promptly: The involved party should call "122" promptly after the accident or ask passing vehicles or pedestrians to report to the nearby police station or traffic officer on duty. Provide the time, location, the vehicle involved, and the extent of injuries or fatalities. Do not leave the accident scene before the police arrive. 3. Provide first aid to the injured: If someone is injured in the accident, arrange for them to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Unless the person with minor injuries refuses to go to the hospital for diagnosis, generally, you can stop passing vehicles or notify the emergency services or hospital to send an ambulance for rescue.

What Causes the Front Shock Absorber Noise in Mercedes-Benz GLC?

Mercedes-Benz GLC front shock absorber noise may be caused by loose screws leading to parts colliding. Below is relevant information about the Mercedes-Benz GLC front shock absorbers: 1. Concept: The purpose of shock absorbers is to stabilize springs that cannot settle immediately—meaning after a spring is compressed and released, it continues to oscillate for some time. Shock absorbers absorb vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces, enhancing ride comfort. 2. Impact on the Vehicle: Unilateral shock absorber oil leakage can cause body imbalance, with one side higher than the other, leading to automatic vehicle drift during driving and accelerating irregular tire wear; aging or detachment of the shock absorber top mount can result in collisions with other components, producing abnormal noises—this is often the primary cause of chassis noise; weakened shock absorber springs with insufficient tension can significantly reduce damping and cushioning effects, increasing hydraulic pressure on the shock absorbers and leading to oil leakage.

Will Insurance Cover Water-Damaged Vehicles in Zhengzhou?

Insurance companies will compensate under the premise that the insured vehicle has collision coverage and the policy is valid. If the vehicle was parked and submerged in water, as long as the policy was issued after the comprehensive reform, the collision coverage includes engine water damage coverage, thus making it eligible for compensation. For policies issued before the comprehensive reform, there is a deductible waiver clause, and full compensation will be determined based on actual circumstances. Here are the relevant details: 1. Vehicle stalling due to water while driving: If the driver attempts to restart the engine (secondary ignition), causing engine damage, it will not be covered. Therefore, never attempt to restart the engine during water submersion. 2. Comprehensive auto insurance reform: The reform took effect at midnight on September 19, 2020. It added seven new coverage items to the existing policy, including theft, standalone glass breakage, spontaneous combustion, engine water damage, deductible waiver, designated repair shops, and coverage for cases where the third party cannot be identified.
