Automotive plastic parts scratch repair methods are: 1. For minor scratches, you can apply toothpaste to these slight abrasions and wipe them clean; 2. You can use a touch-up pen, which is designed for small areas of damage. Car owners need to carefully select the color, as some touch-up pens may have significant color differences from the paint surface and may not adhere for long periods, potentially peeling off over time. Uneven application can also affect aesthetics; 3. If the scratch has damaged the primer, you can use colored putty. Sand the scratched area with sandpaper, being careful not to unnecessarily enlarge the damaged area. It's important to thoroughly clean off any dirt. Apply the putty carefully to ensure it fully penetrates the surface, then apply a compound and finish with wax.

What to Do If the Car Leaks Water During the Warranty Period?

First, if it's a sunroof leak, it may be caused by loose sealing strips or clogged sunroof drainage pipes. If water enters the interior, the leak should be identified and repaired as soon as possible, while also removing and drying the floor mats. Then, clean up any remaining water on the cabin floor and check for corrosion or rust on the wiring under the floor. If the vehicle's computer has been soaked in water, it may need replacement. For non-human-caused faults during the warranty period, the manufacturer should cover the repairs. Additionally, there is a drainage pipe near the passenger seat; leaks could be due to loose pipe connections or blockages from dust and debris in the sunroof drainage outlets.

What is the difference between a car DSP amplifier and a regular amplifier?

The functions of both car DSP amplifiers and regular amplifiers are to drive speakers for sound output, but they differ in performance and effects. The following are the differences between the two: 1. Whether they can connect to a computer: Regular amplifiers can only adjust gain, high and low pass, and cannot connect to a computer. DSP amplifiers, on the other hand, can be better managed via a computer. 2. Different effects: Amplifiers do not have DSP processing functions, resulting in poorer sound quality; DSP can actively perform frequency division, delay processing, EQ tuning, etc., making the sound from the speakers more pleasant. 3. Different costs: Integrating the DSP module into the amplifier saves on cable costs and interference, as well as installation space in the car.

Why is the Thermostat Prone to Failure?

Due to prolonged warm-up time, electric flatbed trucks operate at lower water temperatures, causing combustion gases to react with condensed water on the cylinder walls, forming acidic substances that corrode the cylinders and lead to thermostat failure. Below is an introduction to the thermostat: 1. Device Introduction: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, altering the water circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. 2. Working Principle: The most commonly used thermostat is the wax-type thermostat. When the coolant temperature is below the specified value, the refined paraffin inside the thermostat's temperature-sensing body remains solid, and the thermostat valve, under the action of a spring, closes the passage between the engine and the radiator. The coolant then returns to the engine via the water pump, initiating a small internal circulation within the engine.
