Whether it is normal for a car's air conditioning to leak water depends on the situation, as follows: 1. Normal: It is normal for water to leak from the rear exhaust pipe or other external parts of the car when the air conditioning is on. This is condensation from the air conditioning and does not harm the car or the air conditioning system. 2. Abnormal: If water leaks inside the car, such as under the passenger seat, it is abnormal, and the car should be taken to a repair shop for maintenance. Here are some car air conditioning maintenance tips: 1. Do not frequently adjust the direction of the air conditioning vents. 2. In winter, the air conditioning should be turned on periodically. 3. In summer, ventilate the car to cool it down before driving, then use the internal circulation mode. Avoid using the internal circulation mode for extended periods.

Why Does the Door Stopper Make Noise?

The reason for the abnormal noise from the door stopper is lack of lubrication. The simplest solution is to use lubricants such as grease for lubrication and rust prevention, reducing friction and wear on mechanical components and extending fatigue life. Below are the relevant details: 1. The function of the door stopper is to limit the degree to which the door can open. 2. On one hand, it restricts the maximum opening angle of the door, preventing it from opening too wide; on the other hand, it keeps the door open when needed. 3. There are two common types of door stoppers: torsion spring stoppers and tension spring stoppers. 4. In terms of both production and maintenance costs, tension spring stoppers are superior to torsion spring stoppers.

What is the validity period of a car fire extinguisher?

The shelf life of a car fire extinguisher is as follows: the extinguisher cylinder has a validity period of 8 years; the extinguishing agent has a shorter validity period, around one year. Therefore, car owners should regularly check the condition of the fire extinguisher. Below is the relevant information: 1. Currently, the main types of car fire extinguishers on the market include dry powder fire extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, and water-based fire extinguishers. 2. However, dry powder fire extinguishers are the most commonly used. Dry powder fire extinguishers use carbon dioxide liquid or nitrogen to spray dry powder for fire extinguishing. 3. Car fire extinguishers are equipped with a pressure gauge. If the pointer on the gauge is within the green range, it indicates normal pressure and proper functioning; if it is in the yellow range, it indicates excessive pressure, and if it is in the red range, it indicates insufficient pressure. Both conditions can affect the fire extinguishing performance, and the extinguisher should be replaced promptly. When using the extinguisher, aim directly at the fire source.

How Long After Window Tinting Can You Roll Down the Windows?

After car window tinting, you should wait 3 to 7 days before rolling down the windows. Here are the detailed instructions: 1. After the car window tinting is completed, avoid rolling the windows up and down for 3 days in summer and 7 days in winter. 2. The reason is that the glass is usually tight right after tinting, and during the process of opening and closing the windows, the edges of the tint film can easily roll up or peel, causing damage to the film. 3. After front windshield tinting, avoid directing the air conditioning toward the windshield for 7 days; after rear windshield tinting, do not use the rear defroster for a week. 4. Also, note that you should not wipe the tinted windows for a week after application. Newly applied window tint may develop fogging, which is a normal phenomenon during the drying process. This usually occurs within a week to half a month and will gradually disappear on its own—do not attempt to wipe it away.
