Whether a new car should be equipped with an engine guard plate depends on the owner's driving habits. If you enjoy road trips, off-roading, or frequently drive on poor road conditions, installing an engine guard plate is necessary to prevent damage to the undercarriage components. However, if the car is mainly used for daily commuting and mostly driven on well-maintained urban roads, there is no need to install an engine guard plate. The engine guard plate can protect the engine, oil pan, transmission, and other components from damage caused by scraping or impacts, providing excellent protection. Nowadays, many new cars come with an engine guard plate installed from the factory. Although these are generally basic, they still offer some level of protection.

How Often Should You Add Water to the Car Radiator?

Water should be added to the car radiator every two years or every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers driven. The water referred to here is coolant, not tap water. If the coolant level in the reservoir drops below the minimum mark (the normal level should be between MIN and MAX), it should be replenished promptly. When purchasing coolant, choose the appropriate type based on the region where your vehicle is operated. Below is additional information: Notes on coolant: Coolant prevents the freezing and expansion of the cooling liquid during cold winter stops, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. It should be used year-round. It also protects engine performance, extends service life, and provides anti-freeze, anti-boil, and anti-scale functions. Especially when outdoor temperatures drop below zero, it ensures that vehicle components do not malfunction due to cold conditions.

Why is there water accumulation under the carpet of the Volkswagen Lavida?

Water accumulation under the carpet of the Volkswagen Lavida is caused by reduced door sealing, air conditioning drainage failure, clogged drainage holes at the bottom of the door, or improper installation of the waterproof membrane after door disassembly. Reasons for reduced door sealing: Decreased adhesive strength of the sealing strip, leading to insecure attachment. Causes of car air conditioning drainage failure: Insufficient cooling of the car air conditioning, resulting in no condensation in the evaporator box. Clogged drainage pipe beneath the air conditioning evaporator box prevents water from draining out. This can also occur if the air conditioning cooling is not turned on or if there is a malfunction in the car air conditioning system. Reasons for clogged drainage holes at the bottom of the door: Accumulation of debris is the primary cause of clogged vehicle drainage holes.

What does the letter kpa on the dashboard mean?

The letter kpa on the dashboard refers to a unit of air pressure. Factors affecting car tire pressure are as follows: 1. Winter: Based on the standard tire pressure, it is advisable to increase it by approximately 0.2 bar. 2. Summer: For cars parked outdoors, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 3. Empty/Half Load: Adjust the tire pressure to the lower limit of the standard car tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's sticker can serve as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). 4. Full Load: When fully loaded, adjust the tire pressure to the upper limit of the standard car tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure value on the tire's label can serve as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure).

Should the Corolla Door Drain Plug Be Removed?

The Corolla door drain plug should be removed to prevent the door from rusting. Here is the relevant information: Drain Plug: The drain plug, also known as a drain stopper, features a rotatable conical plug with holes inserted into the central bore of the valve body. When the holes in the plug align with the valve body's inlet and outlet, fluid can pass through. Rotating the plug 90 degrees blocks the holes completely, preventing fluid flow. This mechanism allows it to function both as an on-off switch and a flow regulator. Advantages: Simple structure, quick operation, minimal resistance to fluid flow when fully open, and suitability for fluids containing solid particles.
