It is recommended to have car maintenance done at a 4S shop, as the quality is more guaranteed. Additionally, manufacturers provide a warranty period for new cars, during which any quality issues will be repaired for free. Here is some extended information: 1. Regular maintenance at a 4S shop: If you do not follow the manufacturer's guidelines for regular maintenance at a 4S shop, the warranty will become void. If you go to an external repair shop instead of a 4S shop, the manufacturer cannot determine whether the issue is due to a manufacturing defect or improper maintenance by the repair shop. Therefore, during the new car warranty period, it is essential to have maintenance done at a 4S shop. The length of the warranty period varies by brand; you can check your car's manual or ask the 4S shop directly. 2. More standardized service: Although 4S shops are more expensive, their maintenance staff are professionals who have undergone training before working. Additionally, the costs of repairs and other services are relatively higher, but the service is more standardized. Many parts are sourced directly from the manufacturer, and maintenance is more reliable. If any issues arise, the 4S shop will not let the customer suffer any losses.

What are the reasons why the car door cannot be opened?

The reasons why the car door cannot be opened are as follows: 1. The car or remote key battery is depleted: The receiving sensor or transmitting sensor cannot function properly, so the door naturally cannot be opened. 2. Child lock engaged: As is well known, to protect children's safety, many vehicles are equipped with child locks on the rear doors. When the child lock is engaged, the rear door cannot be opened from the inside and can only be opened using the exterior handle. 3. High-speed driving: The central locking system automatically engages. Many car owners may not be aware that when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h, the central locking system will automatically lock the doors. 4. After washing the car in winter, water was not wiped dry, and the door froze: It will return to normal once the temperature rises. Residual water from washing the car accumulates in the door handles, locks, and door gaps. The extreme cold overnight causes the accumulated water to freeze, firmly freezing the door shut, making it naturally impossible to open in the morning.

The Difference Between Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price and Naked Car Price

The difference between the manufacturer's suggested retail price and the naked car price lies in the factors that determine the pricing. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Suggested Retail Price: The suggested retail price refers to the official price announced by the car manufacturer when the model is released. Generally, the suggested retail price is only for reference, as it is merely a guideline provided by the manufacturer for the vehicle's price. They analyze various factors such as production costs and market positioning to determine the suggested retail price, which usually remains unchanged unless there is an official price reduction. 2. Naked Car Price: The naked car price is the actual price of the vehicle when purchasing (excluding insurance, vehicle and vessel tax, purchase tax, license plate fees, etc.). The naked car price can be influenced by various factors. For example, when a new car is first launched and production is limited, there may be little to no discount on the naked car price, and in some cases, the price may even be marked up.

How to Remove the Thermostat on a Geely Emgrand?

Geely Emgrand thermostat removal method is as follows: 1. Use a pair of pliers to loosen the fixing clip of the lower water pipe and move it to the rear end of the pipe; 2. After loosening, pull out the water pipe and secure it in place. Then, use a specialized tool to remove the first fixing screw of the thermostat cover; 3. Use the specialized tool to remove the second fixing screw of the thermostat cover. At this point, all screws have been removed. 4. Finally, remove the thermostat. Additional information: 1. The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, changing the circulation range of the water to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. 2. The thermostat must be kept in good technical condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the main valve of the thermostat opens too late, it will cause the engine to overheat; if the main valve opens too early, it will prolong the engine's warm-up time, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.

Automatic Transmission: Choosing Between 6AT and CVT?

The differences between 6AT and CVT are as follows: 1. Service life: The 6AT transmission has a longer lifespan. 2. Transmission efficiency: The 6AT transmission combines mechanical and hydraulic transmission, utilizing a torque converter + planetary gear set and electronically controlled shifting structure, allowing it to withstand greater torque. The CVT transmission, or continuously variable transmission, is not affected by gear positions and relies entirely on a steel belt connecting the primary and secondary pulleys to achieve seamless ratio changes, thus offering higher transmission efficiency. However, its torque capacity is inferior to the 6AT transmission. 3. Fuel economy: The 6AT transmission is more commonly used in high-displacement, high-power vehicles and does not have the advantage of fuel efficiency. The CVT transmission is mostly used in household vehicles, excelling in fuel economy and smoothness compared to the 6AT. Overall, the CVT is suitable for daily commuting, while the 6AT is better suited for those seeking a superior driving experience.
