Aftermarket-installed door sill guards are prone to friction with the car door. Moreover, since the sill guards are attached with strong adhesive, they may start to peel off after some time. Here are some related points: 1. Paint scratches: If the vehicle is an SUV and there are children or elderly people in the family, they often step on the car sill when getting in and out of the car, which can cause scratches on the car's paint over time. Installing sill guards can effectively prevent this issue. 2. Peeling off: If the sill guards frequently peel off, it is likely due to negligence during installation. Before installing the sill guards, the sill area must be thoroughly cleaned, and the paint surface must be kept dry and clean. After applying the adhesive, pressure should be applied to ensure full contact with the adhesive surface. A hair dryer can also be used to heat the adhesive to ensure complete bonding.

How to align the timing belt on a Ford Kuga 1.6T?

The size of the contact gap not only affects the strength of the spark but also the timing of the contact opening and closing. Loosen the spark plug of the first cylinder. If there is an octane selector, adjust it to the "0" scale position. Determine the position where the breaker contacts just begin to open. Loosen the fixing screw of the distributor housing and rotate the housing first in the direction of the distributor shaft rotation. Insert the high-voltage wires of each cylinder in the order of 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4 in a clockwise direction. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal temperature. If the engine emits a short and slight knocking sound and it disappears immediately, the ignition timing is appropriate.

What to Do If Your New Car Gets Scratched Right After Purchase?

If it's just a minor scratch on the paint without damaging the underlying metal and it doesn't affect the appearance, you can hide it by waxing. If the scratch on the new car is severe and was caused by another party, you can ask them to compensate for the repair if they're present at the scene. If the person responsible flees and cannot be found, you'll have to file a claim with your own insurance company, but only 30% of the cost will be covered.
