Main determining points include the vehicle's ABC pillars, front and rear longitudinal beams, and shock absorber mounts. Below is an introduction to relevant automotive repair content: Definition of Sheet Metal Repair: Sheet metal repair for motor vehicles is performed when the vehicle's exterior is damaged or deformed, requiring the use of sheet metal repair methods to restore the damaged areas. Sheet metal repair places relatively high demands on technicians, who must understand the characteristics of body materials, the stress properties of the vehicle body, and the welding techniques involved. Only with this foundational knowledge can a technician properly perform sheet metal repairs. Post-Repair Precautions: After an accident-damaged car is repaired, it is advisable to keep the engine speed below 4,000 rpm. Newly replaced parts require a break-in period and are not suitable for high-intensity operation; vehicle speed should also be kept moderate. After driving a certain distance, the vehicle should be taken to a repair shop for testing of relevant data, such as whether the tires are wearing evenly or if the suspension components are deformed, with necessary corrections made as required.

How Long Can China 5 Vehicles Be Driven After China 6 Emission Standard Takes Effect?

The implementation of China 6 emission standard does not mean China 5 or China 4 vehicles will be immediately phased out. As long as the vehicles can pass annual inspections and meet all required standards, China 5 vehicles can continue to operate normally. The differences between China 5 and China 6 standards are: 1. Different CO emission requirements: China 5 allows 1000mg/km CO emissions while China 6 reduces it to 500mg/km. 2. Different letter representations: China 5 uses "V" while China 6 uses "VI". 3. Different issuing authorities: China 5 was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, while China 6 was jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and General Administration of Quality Supervision. 4. Different control levels: China 5's emission control level is equivalent to Euro 5 standard, while China 6 establishes stricter standards to prevent environmental pollution from compression-ignition and gas-fueled engines and protect public health.

How to Determine the Position of Left and Right Wheels of a Car

There are left wheel judgment methods and right wheel judgment methods for determining the position of the left and right wheels of a car. The following are the specific methods for determining the position of the left and right wheels of a car: Left wheel judgment method: First, press the left tire onto the yellow line, then get into the car to observe the relationship between the car body and the yellow line. When sitting in the driver's seat, you can see the leftmost part of the car's front, which is the position of the car's headlight, just aligned with the yellow line. When the vehicle is driving normally in its lane, when the midline on the ground overlaps with the left washer on the hood, the left wheel will press on the midline. Right wheel judgment method: Press the right tire onto the yellow solid line, then get into the car to observe the positional relationship between the car body and the yellow line. From the driver's side, you can see that when the right tire presses on the yellow line, the middle position of the car's front coincides with the yellow line. This indicates that when the middle position of the car's front coincides with an obstacle ahead, the right tire will pass over the obstacle. When the vehicle is driving normally in its lane, when the midline on the ground overlaps with the right washer on the hood, the right wheel will press on the midline.

Where could the oil leakage at the bottom of a car come from?

It is usually caused by a scratched fuel tank. Below is relevant information: 1. General classification: Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open tanks and closed tanks. Open tanks have the liquid surface inside connected to the atmosphere, and an air filter is installed on the tank cover. Open tanks have a simple structure and are easy to install and maintain, making them commonly used in hydraulic systems. Closed tanks are generally used for pressurized tanks, filled with a certain pressure of inert gas, with a charging pressure of up to 0.05MPa. 2. Classification by shape: They can also be divided into rectangular tanks and cylindrical tanks. Rectangular tanks are easy to manufacture and convenient for placing hydraulic components, so they are widely used; cylindrical tanks have high strength, are lightweight, and easy to clean, but they are harder to manufacture and take up more space, often used in large metallurgical equipment.
