Adding soundproofing cotton to a car has some effect, but it is unlikely to significantly impact the noise level inside the vehicle, as there are multiple sources of noise, and soundproofing cotton alone cannot bring about substantial improvements. Waterproof Performance, Preventing Metal Corrosion: After soundproofing the doors, the soundproofing cotton is directly adhered to the door panels. Utilizing the excellent waterproof performance of the soundproofing cotton effectively prevents moisture from coming into contact with the door metal, thus providing rust-proof benefits. Effectively Alleviating Metal Fatigue in the Chassis: Metal fatigue occurs due to the uneven internal structure of the metal, leading to an imbalance in stress distribution, with certain areas becoming stress concentration zones. Additionally, there are many microscopic cracks in the internal defects of the metal. Under continuous force, these cracks expand, reducing the portion of the material capable of transmitting stress until the remaining part can no longer bear the load, resulting in complete failure of the metal component.

Why Does a Brand New Car Have a Burnt Smell?

It is normal for a brand new car to have a burnt smell. Here are some explanations regarding the burnt smell in a new car: 1. Reasons: Many parts of a car operate at high temperatures during use. Some plastic and other material components in a new car may emit odors under high heat, which will dissipate over time. However, during the break-in period, it is important to avoid sudden acceleration and keep the engine RPM within a reasonable range. 2. Other related reasons: (1) If the smell resembles burning plastic, it is likely caused by overheating electrical wiring. Burnt wires are usually accompanied by localized heat or smoke. With careful inspection, the source of the issue can be identified. If the wiring is overheating, the car must be stopped immediately to determine the cause. Although the smell of burnt wiring may not be strong, the risk is significant. Failure to detect it promptly can lead to circuit damage, engine seizure, or even a vehicle fire. (2) If you consistently smell unburned gasoline while driving, you must stop and check for fuel leaks and their severity before continuing. Both fuel-injected and carbureted vehicles may experience aging and cracking in fuel lines after prolonged use. Under slight vibration or changes in line pressure, fuel may leak from these areas. (3) Electrical issues, such as short circuits, aging wires, or excessive load, can also cause a burnt smell. The wiring may burn out shortly afterward. However, such problems are unlikely in a brand new car, so this possibility can be ruled out.

Is it normal for newly applied car window film to appear blurry?

It is normal for a car with newly installed window film to have some moisture visible immediately after application. Below is an explanation about the blurriness of newly applied car window film: 1. Principle: It is common to experience this situation within 7 days of film application. This occurs because water is used during the installation process, leaving some moisture trapped under the film. As the moisture gradually dries, the film will become increasingly clear. If the blurriness persists after 7 days, it is advisable to consult the installation shop, as it may be due to installation issues or the quality of the film itself. 2. Causes: (1) Poor clarity of the film itself: Clarity and light transmittance are not entirely equivalent. Some films with high light transmittance may still cause visual distortion. The clarity of car window film depends on the material and manufacturing process, such as V-KOOL's optical PET base material, multiple precious metals, and molecular-level magnetron sputtering technology. (2) Scratches or corrosion during use: Although car window film is applied to the interior of the car, operations like rolling the windows up and down or cleaning the glass can easily scratch or damage the film. Once damaged, the film's clarity will naturally decrease. Therefore, when cleaning the glass, it is recommended to use non-corrosive cleaning solutions and soft, grit-free towels for wiping. Additionally, for car models with narrow gaps in the side windows, avoid applying overly thick security films. Instead, opt for car window films with excellent scratch-resistant coatings.

What is the reason for not being able to shift gears?

The reasons for not being able to shift gears: internal failure of the gear lever assembly; failure of the P-gear lock solenoid valve inside the gear lever, or failure of the brake switch. Here is some additional information: 1. Gear shifting: Gear shifting refers to the transmission, which is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the different requirements of traction force and speed for driving wheels under various driving conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming road obstacles. 2. Function: Gear shifting allows the car to drive at a very low and stable speed, which is difficult to achieve solely by the minimum stable speed of the internal combustion engine. The reverse gear of the transmission enables the car to move backward, and its neutral gear allows the engine to be separated from the transmission system for a long time when starting the engine, parking, or coasting.
