Vehicle total loss is divided into two situations: one is actual total loss, which means the vehicle is completely destroyed and cannot be repaired; the other is constructive total loss, which means although the vehicle can still be repaired, the repair cost reaches or exceeds the actual value of the vehicle. The following is the relevant introduction to vehicle damage insurance: 1. Benefits: The insured vehicle can receive compensation for repair costs due to damage caused by insurance liability accidents, as well as reasonable rescue measures taken by the owner for the vehicle. When rescuing the insured vehicle, the insurance company should compensate for the reasonable costs of using others' firefighting equipment. 2. Meaning: Vehicle damage insurance refers to the loss of the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability, which is the most expensive insurance type in most private car insurance policies.

What is the reason for no fuel coming out when unscrewing below the carburetor?

Reasons for no fuel coming out when unscrewing below the carburetor are as follows: Excessively lean combustible mixture: The carburetor backfire phenomenon is caused by the combustion flame returning from the intake pipe to the carburetor after the spark plug ignites the mixture, which is attributed to an excessively lean combustible mixture. Carburetor backfire: The mixture becomes so lean that the combustion speed is too slow. The time from the start of mixture combustion to its completion extends until the beginning of the next cycle's intake stroke when the intake valve opens, igniting the mixture in the intake pipe and causing carburetor backfire. Intake valve malfunction: The intake valve is stuck in the open position and cannot close. Reasons for valve sticking include scoring of the valve guide, bending of the valve stem, or loosening of the valve seat, all of which prevent the intake valve from closing properly. The spark plug ignites the mixture, which then ignites the mixture in the intake pipe, leading to carburetor backfire, and the intake valve being stuck open, resulting in incomplete closure.

Should You Apply Brakes When Making a U-Turn in Subject 3?

You can apply brakes when making a U-turn. Below is an introduction to the U-turn method: 1. Decelerate first, then shift gears. Before making a U-turn, the car is usually moving relatively fast, around 30-40 km/h. Therefore, after completing the light operation, first apply the brakes to reduce the speed, then press the clutch to downshift (it's important to note that a U-turn must be done in second gear, so be sure to downshift to second gear). 2. Check the rearview mirror to ensure there are no surrounding hazards. To ensure a smooth U-turn, always check the rearview mirror to confirm it's safe behind you before proceeding. Then look forward; if there are oncoming vehicles, let them pass first. If there are no special circumstances, you can proceed with the U-turn. 3. Do not steer left prematurely. Although you need to turn the steering wheel fully to the left for a U-turn, remember not to start turning left too early. The earlier you begin turning, the harder it becomes to complete the U-turn. Keep the car moving straight, and when preparing to make the U-turn, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to easily complete the maneuver.

What kind of shops can clean car chassis?

Cleaning a car chassis requires machines to lift the car, sufficient water pressure, and specialized chemical tools to remove specific substances. Types of chassis stains: Mud-type stains can be directly washed away with the pressure of a high-pressure water gun, but curved areas may require multiple rinses to ensure complete removal. Grease-type stains generally cannot be cleaned with water alone. When washing these types of stains, a small shovel tool is needed for initial scraping. If necessary, degreasers and other tools may be used. Inspection and repair: After cleaning, a thorough inspection is required. If rust is found during the inspection, it must be sanded and removed. After derusting and cleaning, the car chassis should be dried and wiped clean, then evenly sprayed with a rust-proofing agent to form a durable protective film. After completion, allow it to air dry naturally. Finally, apply a protective coating. Since the car chassis is made of metal, it is prone to rust in the air, making it harder to clean. The protective coating helps resolve these issues.
