Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noises after a car goes through water: 1. Water on brake pads: If the vehicle does not go through deep water and water splashes onto the brake pads, it is normal to hear abnormal noises when braking. 2. Foreign objects between brake pads and calipers: If the vehicle does not go through deep water, foreign objects such as plastic bags or mud in the water may get stuck between the brake pads and calipers, causing abnormal noises when braking. 3. Water ingestion in the exhaust pipe: If the vehicle goes through deep water, water may enter the engine through the exhaust pipe, preventing the fuel and air mixture from burning properly, leading to abnormal noises. 4. Foreign objects stuck in the chassis: If foreign objects get stuck in the chassis after the vehicle passes through a waterlogged area, abnormal noises may occur while driving.

Will Insurance Cover Modified Headlights?

Whether insurance covers modified headlights depends on the following two scenarios: 1. If the accident is the owner's fault, the insurance company will not cover the modified headlights because the vehicle damage insurance only covers the factory configuration of the vehicle; 2. If the accident is someone else's fault, the other party's insurance company should compensate according to the modified configuration of the accident vehicle. Precautions for modifying xenon lights: 1. Do not install the ballast near a heat source. It can generally be installed above the bumper to help dissipate heat. 2. Do not install the ballast near some wires or close to water sources. 3. Place it in a well-ventilated location to allow air flow to reduce the temperature of the ballast. 4. Avoid coiling the high-voltage wires of the ballast to prevent generating excessive magnetic fields, which could affect other electrical equipment in the car.

Implementation Time of China VI Emission Standards in Tianjin?

Tianjin implemented the China VI emission standards on July 1, 2019. Here are some relevant introductions about the China VI standards: 1. Stringent limit requirements of China VI standards. The limit requirements of China VI standards are about 40% to 50% stricter than those of China V. 2. China VI adopts a fuel-neutral principle. This means that regardless of the type of fuel used, the emission limits are the same. In the previous China V stage, the emission standards for diesel and gasoline vehicles were different. 3. Compared with China V, China VI standards reduce nitrogen oxides by 77% and particulate matter by 67% in terms of emission standards. The limit requirements for particle number (PN) are introduced, and the durability of emission control devices and the requirements for onboard diagnostic systems (OBD) are tightened.
