Is it necessary to go to a 4S shop for maintenance?

1 Answers

Maintenance can be chosen to be done at a 4S shop or an external repair shop based on personal needs. However, maintenance involving the electrical system should still be done at a 4S shop. Here are the relevant details: 1. Choosing a maintenance location: Even during the warranty period, car owners can choose where to have their cars maintained. Maintenance outside a 4S shop does not void the warranty, thereby reducing maintenance costs. However, there are practical risks, such as the need to retain maintenance invoices, repair records, and certificates for replaced parts. For new cars, it's advisable to go to a 4S shop for maintenance until the warranty expires before switching to an external repair shop. If you plan to maintain a new car externally, ensure you choose a reputable repair shop that can provide relevant documentation. 2. Considerations: Additionally, when maintaining at a repair shop, try to avoid too many procedures. For instance, modern car electronic control systems are highly advanced. Many cars require specialized diagnostic tools to reset after cleaning the throttle body; otherwise, issues like unstable idling may occur. Such specialized tools are generally not available at ordinary repair shops. Therefore, maintenance procedures at repair shops should be kept as simple as possible, and maintenance involving the electrical system should still be done at a 4S shop.

Where is the engine number located on the Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi M5?

The engine number of the Fengxing M5 is located on the right side of the engine, on the engine block below the exhaust manifold. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The purchase invoice will include the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also state the engine number. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique number, and no two engines share the same number.

What is the difference between DM and DM-i?

Here are the specific differences between BYD's DM-i and DM technologies: 1. Advantages: The DM-i Super Hybrid system is based on a high-capacity battery and high-power electric motor, relying primarily on the electric motor for vehicle propulsion. The gasoline engine mainly functions to charge the battery and only directly drives the wheels when additional power is needed, working in tandem with the electric motor to reduce load. This hybrid technology differs from traditional hybrid systems that depend heavily on the engine, resulting in more effective fuel consumption reduction. 2. Core components: The key component of BYD's DM-i Super Hybrid technology is the newly developed Xiaoyun plug-in hybrid dedicated engine, which comes in two versions – a 1.5L engine mainly used in Qin PLUS and Song PLUS models, and a 1.5T turbocharged engine for larger models like the Tang DM-i. 3. Driving modes: When the battery is sufficiently charged, the DM-i model's electric motor provides adequate power for all road conditions. When battery power is low, the DM-i system automatically determines whether to use electricity or fuel, or a combination of both, based on system operating conditions.

Why is a three-day wait required after painting?

A standard automotive paint booth takes approximately six hours to paint a car, with the actual painting process lasting about one hour. However, due to tasks such as disassembling protective coverings, the entire painting process typically requires 6 to 12 hours. Additionally, different automotive paint finishes require varying baking times, which is why most professional paint shops request customers to collect their vehicles three days later. Automotive paint application must be performed in a fully enclosed, specially treated compartment to prevent dust or other contaminants from causing surface roughness. The baking temperature is controlled at around 200 degrees Celsius, with both the spray gun and temperature regulated by specialized computer systems to ensure optimal paint gloss. How to inspect after painting: First, examine whether the painted surface perfectly matches the original car paint color. Check for surface smoothness, ensuring there are no pinholes, impurities, or paint runs. Second, evaluate the color match. The new paint should closely resemble the factory paint color. It's recommended to inspect under sunlight as lighting significantly affects color perception. Third, pay special attention to component assembly gaps if extensive bodywork repairs were performed.
