After repairing quality issues in a new car, you can request compensation from the 4S store. Legal Provisions: The new automobile three-guarantee regulations stipulate that if the vehicle has issues with major (important) components such as the transmission or engine due to inherent defects, and after diagnosis by the dealership and manufacturer, the product cannot meet functional and usage requirements, the consumer is entitled to request repair, return, or compensation. New Automobile Three-Guarantee Rules: If a newly purchased car is found to have quality issues, consumers can request replacement or return from the seller by presenting the three-guarantee certificate and purchase invoice. During the warranty period, if there are product quality issues with a family car, consumers can receive free repairs from the repairer by presenting the three-guarantee certificate, including labor and material costs.

I've handled quite a few car issue cases. Whether you get compensation after quality problems with new cars are fixed depends on the specific situation. China's auto three-guarantee policy clearly states that dealers must provide free repairs during the warranty period. Compensation usually isn't automatic unless you've suffered additional losses due to quality issues, such as lost wages from multiple repair delays or extra transportation costs. You need to keep all repair records and evidence of losses, then proactively file complaints with dealers or manufacturers. Some car owners have negotiated small compensations, but that's based on goodwill. I recommend carefully reading contract terms before purchase to understand compensation details. For serious recurring issues, you can escalate complaints to consumer associations or legal proceedings. Compensation is possible but not guaranteed. The key is having the car properly repaired for safe driving.

I remember the first time I encountered a problem with my new car, there was no compensation after the repair. Generally speaking, compensation is minimal. The three-guarantee policy only covers repairs and does not include automatic compensation unless under special circumstances. If the repairs cause me additional expenses, such as taxi fares or taking time off work, I can present the receipts to the dealer to argue my case and maybe get some compensation. But don't expect much—most of the time, it's over once the repair is done. It's advisable to keep detailed records of each repair for easier negotiation or complaints. Compensation isn't guaranteed, so it's better to drive carefully and avoid trouble. If you've had similar experiences, feel free to share some tips.

From a long-term car owner's perspective, compensation is rare. It's uncommon to receive compensation after a new car is repaired unless there are major issues like repeated ineffective repairs. The three-guarantee policy covers repairs but not compensation. Try to communicate calmly to avoid disputes. Discuss and resolve any inconveniences to maintain a good relationship. Compensation isn't the priority; normal car usage is sufficient. Sharing thoughts from similar experiences.

Will the RPM Increase When the Air Conditioning is Turned On?

Yes. It is normal for the engine RPM to increase when the car's air conditioning is turned on. Below is some relevant information about the air conditioning system: 1. Air conditioning requires dust removal: The air conditioning system is prone to inhaling dust and bacteria during use, so after prolonged use, the system should undergo a dust and bacteria removal treatment to ensure the health of the passengers. 2. Working principle: When the air conditioning is turned on, the air conditioning compressor is driven by the compressor belt, and the belt's driving force comes from the engine. Therefore, to prevent the engine from stalling due to the additional load at idle, vehicles with electronically controlled fuel injection and belt-driven air conditioning compressors will experience an increase in idle RPM.

When encountering what vehicles should motor vehicles yield the right of way?

When driving a motor vehicle, you should promptly yield the right of way to police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles that are performing emergency tasks. Below is relevant information: 1. Large vehicles yield to small vehicles: When large trucks meet small vehicles, they should yield to small vehicles first. 2. Turning vehicles yield to straight-going vehicles: At intersections without directional signal lights or traffic signs, turning motor vehicles should yield to straight-going vehicles and pedestrians. 3. Downhill vehicles yield to uphill vehicles: On narrow slopes, the vehicle going uphill has the right of way. 4. Vehicles yield to pedestrians: When encountering a crosswalk, vehicles should slow down. If pedestrians are crossing the crosswalk, vehicles should yield.

What do 92, 95, and 98 mean?

92, 95, and 98 represent these three grades of gasoline. 92-octane gasoline is suitable for vehicles with mature engine technology and no excessive fuel requirements; 95-octane gasoline is generally suitable for turbocharged and high-compression ratio vehicles, and it is compatible with the vast majority of models on the market; 98-octane gasoline is suitable for high-horsepower sports cars. The differences between 92, 95, and 98 gasoline: Different gasoline quality levels: The octane rating of gasoline represents the octane value of the fuel. A higher octane rating indicates a higher octane value, which means the gasoline has better anti-knock performance. This results in smoother engine operation, reduced wear and tear on the car, and better protection for the engine. Different fuel consumption: 98-octane gasoline has superior combustion value, allowing for more complete combustion and improved fuel efficiency, which helps reduce fuel consumption. Different environmental benefits: 98-octane gasoline is more environmentally friendly. It contains lower sulfur levels, reducing the likelihood of carbon deposits and resulting in relatively lower tailpipe emissions, making it more eco-friendly. It is recommended that vehicles designed for lower octane gasoline will not be damaged if higher octane gasoline is accidentally used. However, the increase in octane value may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This can reduce the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. It is recommended that vehicles designed for higher octane gasoline should not use lower octane gasoline, as this can cause engine knocking. If the octane value is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance will be encountered during the upward stroke. This resistance can make the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring. If you accidentally mix or add the wrong octane gasoline, simply refuel with the correct octane gasoline next time to restore normal operation. Some car owners believe that using higher octane gasoline can improve performance, but this is unnecessary. If the engine's compression ratio does not meet the required standard, even the best gasoline will not make a difference. At most, it may be slightly more environmentally friendly and cleaner.

What is the Difference Between a Station Wagon and a Sedan?

Most station wagons are based on sedans, with the trunk raised to the same height as the roof to increase luggage space. In contrast, sedans have trunks that are lower than the roof. Station wagons are designed for long-distance travel, offering ample space to carry sufficient travel gear, while sedans have smaller storage capacity and interior space compared to station wagons. Below is relevant information: 1. Station Wagon: Station wagons are very popular in Europe, occupying an important position in the product lines of various European car brands. Examples include Audi's AVANT, Mercedes-Benz's Estate, BMW's WAGON, and Volvo's V series. In Europe, especially in the comfortable Nordic countries, Volvo station wagons are particularly popular and are the most commonly seen car brand in daily life, with almost every household owning a Volvo station wagon. 2. Sedan: Sedans feature a distinctively long hood and trunk in addition to the passenger compartment, making it easy to visually distinguish the engine compartment, passenger area, and luggage compartment (in some regions, this body style is referred to as a "three-box" design). The sedan's shape resembles ancient sedan chairs, with long handles at the front and rear of the passenger compartment, hence the name "sedan."
