The reasons for abnormal noises when a new car turns are: 1. The brake pads have not yet been properly worn in, and the noise will disappear after the break-in period; 2. During driving, small sand particles may enter between the brake disc and brake pads, causing abnormal noises due to friction. Generally, these particles will fall out after some driving. The first 1,000 kilometers of a new car's usage is the break-in period, during which the focus is on the break-in of the braking system. If not properly worn in, abnormal noises are likely to occur. Some owners may slam on the brakes frequently to speed up the break-in process. While this can quickly wear in the brake pads, it also shortens their lifespan, so it's best to avoid this practice.

Is the Rear Vehicle Fully Liable for a Rear-End Collision When the Front Vehicle Brakes Suddenly on the Highway?

When the front vehicle brakes suddenly on the highway, resulting in a rear-end collision, the rear vehicle is generally liable. However, if evidence proves that the front vehicle braked abruptly, the front vehicle may also share responsibility. Related details: 1. Liability Determination: Even if the front vehicle brakes suddenly, the rear vehicle must always maintain a safe distance and speed. If a rear-end collision occurs, the rear vehicle is typically at fault. However, if evidence shows the front vehicle braked abruptly, the front vehicle may also be held accountable. 2. Prevention Measures: Generally, vehicles on the road should maintain sufficient distance between each other. The rear vehicle should not follow too closely, as adequate space and reaction time are necessary to prevent accidents.

Does the vehicle owner need to be present for re-stamping the VIN?

Re-stamping the VIN does not require the vehicle owner to be present in person, but the owner's ID card is required for the procedure. Relevant information: 1. Required materials: The vehicle registration certificate, purchase certificate, and the owner's ID card need to be brought to the vehicle management office to apply for the procedure, and then the re-stamping will be done at a designated location. 2. Additional information: The full name of the VIN is the Vehicle Identification Number, which is a unique set of alphanumeric characters assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. It consists of a 17-character code, also known as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The combination of characters in the VIN ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, making it a unique identifier for the vehicle, hence it can be referred to as the 'vehicle's ID card'.

What Causes the Car Air Conditioner to Alternate Between Hot and Cold?

Introduction to the reasons why a car air conditioner alternates between hot and cold: 1. Damaged compressor capacitor: For the air conditioner to function properly, both the internal and external units need to work together. If the car air conditioner exhibits alternating hot and cold air, check if the external unit's compressor start capacitor is damaged. If so, it needs to be replaced. 2. Dirty filter: If the air conditioner hasn't been cleaned for a long time, it can also cause the air conditioner to alternate between hot and cold. A dirty filter or evaporator can easily lead to poor ventilation and heat dissipation, causing the compressor to overheat and shut down. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary to maintain cleanliness. 3. Insufficient refrigerant: The air conditioner requires an adequate amount of refrigerant, commonly known as Freon, to cool. If the temperature inside the car alternates between hot and cold, check if the refrigerant in the air conditioning system is insufficient. If so, use other methods to address the issue. 4. Moisture in the air conditioning system: When high-temperature, high-pressure liquid passes through the expansion valve, all the liquid undergoes a rapid change, turning into low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. This low-temperature, low-pressure liquid causes the temperature of the evaporator to drop rapidly, so the air blown by the air conditioner motor becomes cold after passing through the evaporator.

What Can Be Used to Clean Paint Off a Car?

Paint on a car can be cleaned using the following methods: 1. Olive Oil: If you have olive oil at home, apply some to the painted area of the car and gently rub it a few times. Let it soak in for a while, then wash it off with soap after a few minutes. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, and this method avoids harming your hands. 2. Floral Water: If you can't find olive oil, you can use floral water on the painted area. After a while, wash it with soap to clean it. The main ingredients of floral water are neroli oil, rose geranium oil, lemon oil, benzoic acid, bergamot oil, and alcohol. 3. Peanut Oil or Salad Oil: If neither of the above is available, you can use peanut oil or salad oil. Rub it on the painted area, add some dishwashing liquid, and rub again. Finally, wipe it off with a cloth, and the paint will be removed. 4. Banana Oil: Also known as thinner, its main component is xylene, which is highly volatile, flammable, explosive, and toxic, making it a hazardous material. However, if you are concerned about strong odors, you can use banana oil on the painted area and wash it off. Banana oil does not leave a bad smell. Alternatively, you can directly purchase some turpentine from a paint store for cleaning.

Where Can I Check the Vehicle Environmental Protection List?

Vehicle environmental protection lists can be queried by opening the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network of the Motor Vehicle Emission Monitoring Center under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on a computer. Below is relevant information about the environmental protection list: 1. Introduction: The full name of the environmental protection list is "Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Information Accompanying Vehicle List," such as the Light Gasoline Vehicle Environmental Protection Information Accompanying Vehicle List, Electric Vehicle Environmental Protection Information Accompanying Vehicle List, etc. According to the "Announcement on the Disclosure of Environmental Protection Information for Motor Vehicles and Non-Road Mobile Machinery" issued by the National Environmental Protection Department, starting from January 1, 2017, motor vehicle manufacturers and importers are required to disclose major environmental protection information in the form of a "Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Information Accompanying Vehicle List" before the product leaves the factory or the goods enter the country. 2. For parallel imports: Import companies need to disclose the information of imported vehicles before the commodity vehicles enter the country to prove that the vehicles comply with national environmental protection standards.
