Serious Here are the relevant introductions about stalling when wading through water: 1. Road condition issues: Due to unclear underwater road conditions and increased resistance, improper handling can also lead to stalling. Just like beginners may stall even under good road conditions. 2. Electrical short circuit: Water causing a short circuit in the electrical system leads to vehicle stalling. 3. Water intake into the air inlet: Stalling due to water entering the air intake is the most harmful. It is recommended to immediately stop the vehicle and wait for third-party rescue. Attempting to restart the engine in water is not advisable. After a car stalls in water, water will inevitably flow back into the exhaust pipe, leading to the same consequences as water entering the air intake.

Is it necessary to replace the tensioner when changing the generator belt?

Replace the tensioner when changing the belt. Here are the specific details: 1. Belts: There are two belts in a car, the timing belt and the accessory belt. The replacement cycle for the timing belt is similar for all cars, which is every three years or 60,000 kilometers. 2. Replacement: When replacing the belt, the tensioner and idler pulley should be replaced at the same time. The lifespan of the belt and the tensioner is almost the same. When the belt's lifespan ends, the tensioner may still be usable, but it's unclear how much longer it will last. 3. Safety: Do not wait another 20,000 kilometers to replace it. The labor cost for replacing the belt is very high, effectively doubling the expense. For safety and cost-saving reasons, it's best to replace them simultaneously. The water pump does not need to be removed for replacement.

Does prolonged parking in N gear with the engine off harm the car?

It does not harm the car. Parking in N gear with the engine off carries the risk of the car rolling, but in P gear, there is an internal locking mechanism that prevents the car from rolling even if you forget to engage the handbrake or press the brake pedal. Here is some relevant information: 1. The function of N gear: The N gear in an automatic transmission car is the same as the neutral gear in a manual transmission car. When shifted into N gear, the engine and transmission are separated. When towing, you can place the gear in N gear, but automatic transmission cars are not allowed to be towed for long periods. 2. Reason why it doesn't harm the car: In N gear, the transmission gears are disengaged, allowing the input and output shafts to rotate freely. For the transmission, this is the safest state, even safer than P gear, as P gear locks the transmission output shaft.

Will Insurance Cover Water Damage to Cars During Heavy Rain?

If the car owner has purchased auto damage insurance or water ingress insurance, the insurance company is required to compensate according to the policy terms. However, with only auto damage insurance and water ingress insurance, the insurance company does not provide full compensation; there is an absolute deductible rate of 15%-20%. Full compensation requires the car owner to additionally purchase a waiver of deductible clause. The main classifications of auto insurance are as follows: 1. Introduction One: Motor vehicle insurance can be divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance, with commercial insurance further categorized into basic insurance and additional insurance. 2. Introduction Two: Basic insurance includes vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, comprehensive theft insurance, and passenger liability insurance. Additional insurance covers standalone glass breakage insurance, scratch insurance, etc. 3. Introduction Three: Passenger liability insurance, no-fault liability insurance, and cargo falling liability insurance are additional insurances under third-party liability insurance. These can only be purchased after securing third-party liability insurance, and each insurance type's waiver of deductible can be purchased independently. 4. Introduction Four: Compulsory traffic insurance is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injury, death, or property damage (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by the insured vehicle in a road traffic accident, within the liability limits.

Is the Automotive Fuel Pump Covered Under the Three Guarantees Policy?

Automotive fuel pumps are covered under the Three Guarantees policy. Below is more information regarding automotive fuel pumps: 1. Function: The role of an automotive fuel pump is to draw gasoline from the fuel tank and deliver it through pipelines and the gasoline filter to the float chamber of the carburetor, providing the car engine with the power to start and operate the vehicle. It is precisely because of the fuel pump that the gasoline tank can be placed at the rear of the car, away from the engine and positioned lower than the engine. 2. Purpose: The purpose of the fuel pump is to supply the necessary fuel to various injectors and cold-start injectors. In electronically controlled gasoline injection systems, two types of electric fuel pumps are commonly used: roller-type electric fuel pumps and vane-type electric fuel pumps. In a roller-type electric fuel pump, one end of the pump housing is the inlet, and the other end is the outlet. The roller pump on the inlet side is driven at high speed by a drive motor located in the middle of the pump housing. The rotor is eccentrically installed within the pump body, and rollers are placed in the grooves of the rotor.
