Why is the water in the radiator decreasing?

The reasons for the decrease in water level in the radiator are: 1. Water pipe joints or the pipes themselves are leaking, requiring pipe replacement or reinforcement of the seal; 2. Cracks in the engine block, or an improperly sealed or damaged cylinder head gasket causing water leakage; 3. Damaged seals or sand holes in the oil cooler leading to water leakage; 4. A loose radiator cap; 5. Leakage in the heater radiator; 6. Leakage in the three-way connector. The radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket in a continuous cycle, achieving the effect of heat dissipation and temperature regulation.

Will replacing one shock absorber have any impact?

Replacing one shock absorber will have an impact. The functions of a shock absorber are: 1. To suppress the vibration deformation absorbed by the spring and the oscillation during the spring rebound; 2. To absorb the impact force from the road surface, improving the ride comfort and handling of the car. Methods to check if the shock absorber is working properly include: 1. If the shock absorber does not get sufficiently hot when the car is driven on poor road conditions, it indicates the shock absorber is not working; 2. Press down hard on the bumper and then release it—if the car bounces 2 to 3 times, it indicates the shock absorber is working well; 3. If the car vibrates violently when braking sharply at a slow speed, it indicates there is a problem with the shock absorber.
