It is necessary to repair a slightly scratched wheel hub. The steps to handle a scratched car wheel hub are: 1. Remove the wheel hub and clean the surface thoroughly; 2. Use sandpaper to smooth out the scratched areas; 3. Apply putty; 4. Spray paint on the wheel hub; 5. After the paint dries, apply a glossy finish. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the wheel core via spokes, and it is the metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle. Methods for maintaining the wheel hub include: 1. Clean the wheel hub frequently when the vehicle is in a humid area to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. After cleaning when necessary, apply wax to the wheel hub to maintain its shine; 3. When the wheel hub is hot, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean it, as this can damage the aluminum hub, deform the brake disc, and affect braking performance. Using cleaning agents on the wheel hub can cause chemical reactions on the surface, leading to loss of shine.

Should Car Air Conditioning Refrigerant Be Added from the Low or High Pressure Side?

Car air conditioning refrigerant should be added from the low pressure side because the system is vacuumed, and the high pressure side is only suitable for adding refrigerant as it retains an interface. The method of addition depends on the substance being added. Here are more details about adding refrigerant from the low pressure side: 1. First, connect the manifold pressure gauge to the compressor and the refrigerant canister. After opening the canister, loosen the nut on the middle injection tube of the pressure gauge. When you hear the sound of refrigerant vapor flowing, tighten the nut. 2. Next, open the low pressure manual valve, allowing the refrigerant to enter the refrigeration system. When the system pressure reaches the specified value, close the low pressure manual valve. 3. Finally, start the engine and turn on the car air conditioning to allow the refrigerant to enter the refrigeration system, and then test the cooling effect.

How to Use Auto Start-Stop?

The usage method of auto start-stop is as follows: 1. When the auto start-stop turns off the engine, quickly shift to P gear, release the brake, and the engine will not start, allowing you to continue waiting. 2. For safety reasons, when the engine is off in D gear, pulling the handbrake and releasing the brake will not keep the engine off. To enable a quicker start, the engine will start even if shifted to N gear. 3. In most vehicles, the start-stop system is designed to maintain the engine-off state by quickly shifting from D gear to P gear. 4. The start-stop system is essentially a "cheating" method adopted by car manufacturers to meet strict emission and fuel economy regulations in various countries. Most start-stop systems do not operate smoothly, with noticeable jerks, resulting in a less-than-ideal experience for drivers and passengers.

Where is the engine number of Hyundai Verna located?

Verna's engine number is located on the lower left front side of the engine, on the side plane where the cylinder block meets the transmission housing. Generally, a car's engine number (referred to as 'engineno' on the vehicle license) can be found in these locations. Below are precautions for car engine usage: 1. Avoid coasting in neutral: The engine itself has a fuel-cut function during deceleration, and using neutral gear actually hinders fuel economy. 2. Regularly inspect your vehicle - if you notice oil stains on the ground, determine whether it indicates engine oil leakage and promptly contact a 4S dealership to eliminate safety hazards. 3. For turbocharged vehicles, don't shut off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing; let it idle for 10 minutes first. Turbocharged engines accumulate carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated engines.

What does the 'i' at the back of BMW stand for?

BMW's 'i' refers to the gasoline direct injection engine, which is BMW's unique fuel injection technology. It can also be said that BMW 'i' represents the standard wheelbase model. The length of the wheelbase mainly affects the comfort and operational stability of the vehicle. Generally speaking, the higher the vehicle class, the longer the wheelbase will be. A longer wheelbase not only improves straight-line cruising stability but also reduces steering agility and increases the turning radius. The BMW xDrive25i has a body size of 4717 mm in length, 1891 mm in width, and 1689 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2864 mm. The BMW xDrive25i features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout with an on-demand all-wheel-drive system. The front suspension is a double-joint spring strut type, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
