Garage dampness can cause body corrosion, severe rusting of the brake system, and affect electronic components. The specific impacts of a damp garage on a car are as follows: 1. Body: High moisture concentration in humid air can corrode the car's paint, reducing its gloss and even causing rust in areas with minor scratches. 2. Vehicle components: Dampness in key parts such as shock absorbers, suspension springs, and drive shafts in the chassis can reduce functionality and affect driving. 3. Electronics: Excessive humidity can make CD reading difficult, especially affecting the chips inside car audio systems, which become very fragile in damp environments, leading to distorted sound output.

What are the reasons for increased fuel consumption after an engine overhaul?

After an engine overhaul, the increased fuel consumption is due to the new parts being more precisely machined and tighter, which increases the engine's workload, leading to higher fuel consumption. This is a normal situation. Reasons for increased fuel consumption after an engine overhaul: The viscosity of the engine oil used increases, and higher viscosity oil is generally better. The primary function of engine oil is lubrication, and higher viscosity indicates better quality. However, if the oil viscosity is too high, the engine will encounter greater resistance during high-load operation, consuming more power and, consequently, significantly increasing fuel consumption compared to before. Precautions after an engine overhaul: Avoid high engine speeds; it's best not to exceed 3,000 RPM. After a cold start, it's advisable to warm up the engine for a while before driving, typically about 5 minutes, until the water temperature begins to change. Adhere to the vehicle's specified load capacity, preferably not exceeding 70% of the maximum load. Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking whenever possible. Hard braking can cause significant impact damage to the new engine, especially during sudden acceleration, which can severely affect the break-in of new engine components and directly impact the fit between parts. Anticipate sudden situations while driving, maintain a steady speed, and drive smoothly. Keep the speed between 50-80 km/h, but avoid prolonged low-speed driving. Pay attention to gear changes and avoid driving in a single gear for extended periods.

Should Gear Shifting Be Fast or Slow?

Gear shifting speed should vary from person to person. Faster shifting is more beneficial for the durability of manual transmissions; slower shifting keeps the clutch in a semi-engaged state for a longer time, which can easily wear out the clutch plates. Precautions for gear shifting: When shifting gears, keep your eyes on the road ahead and avoid looking down at the gear lever. Always depress the clutch pedal fully when shifting; otherwise, gear grinding may occur. If you can't engage a gear, fully depress the clutch, lightly tap the accelerator, and then try shifting again—avoid forcing it. Generally, avoid skipping gears when upshifting. Only shift into reverse after the car has come to a complete stop to prevent damage to the transmission. Gear shifting techniques: For manual transmission cars, remember the principle: "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Before upshifting, rev the engine to increase speed, and before downshifting, ease off the accelerator to reduce speed. Always fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting, and operate the gear lever gently, quickly, smoothly, and accurately. Time your shifts correctly—shift when the engine is around 2000 RPM. Press the accelerator slightly before depressing the clutch to prevent forced disengagement, then shift. Skipping gears is not recommended. Downshift based on vehicle speed and your car's condition; generally, downshift when the engine RPM drops below around 1500.
