Reasons for car water leakage: 1. Air conditioning: Condensation water droplets produced during air conditioning use; 2. Cooling system: A malfunction in the radiator cooling system causing water leakage under the car; 3. Windshield washer fluid: Possibly windshield washer fluid dripping. Inspection and troubleshooting methods: 1. Method one: Check if the radiator coolant is missing, then inspect whether the cooling system pipes are loose or damaged, and check if there is any underbody scratching at the bottom of the radiator. 2. Method two: Ensure the coolant reservoir level is not too full, as it may overflow when the temperature rises. 3. Method three: Check the windshield washer fluid reservoir and its pipes and connections for looseness, damage, etc.

There are several spots in the car where water leaks, which are usually caused by sealing issues or drainage blockages. I've driven many cars, and common leak points are around the door edges, roof, and footwell areas. If the door seals age or deform, rainwater can seep inside; if the sunroof drain tubes get clogged with small leaves or dust, water may drip from the sunroof edges; when the AC drain is blocked, water might back up into the footwell. Checking is simple: after rain, see where it's wet, clean the sunroof channels with a soft brush, and if the door seals harden, spray some rubber protectant. For prevention, park away from trees and rinse the drains during car washes. Long-term neglect can damage the interior and increase repair costs.

Last week, my car had water leakage under the seats and on the roof, likely due to clogged sunroof drainage. Modern cars use plastic tubes for drainage which easily accumulate debris, especially after parking under trees. If left untreated, water can damage electronic components like the audio system or fuse box. After each rainfall, I use a flashlight to check the sunroof channels and remove leaf debris to fix it. The AC drain hole is a small opening under the car, easily cleared with a thin rod. This minor issue can be fixed at a shop for a few dozen dollars—avoid DIY disassembly to prevent more problems. Regular attention can save a lot of hassle.

Finding water leakage in the car always worries me about water stains dirtying the floor mats, causing children or the elderly to slip and get injured. Water mostly leaks in from the door edges or roof, often due to poor sealing or aging windshield adhesive. If the air conditioning drain is clogged, water may flow back to the footwell area, which requires more attention. Keep window seals clean and close the sunroof on rainy days. During inspection, check if the rubber seals have become brittle—replace them immediately if any issues are found. This small issue can easily lead to bigger troubles, but regular maintenance can prevent it.

What is the curved panel above the wheel called?

The curved panel above the wheel is called a fender. Fender: The fender is a body outer panel that covers the wheel, named for its resemblance to a bird's wing in shape and position on older vehicle bodies. Based on installation location, it is divided into front fenders and rear fenders. The front fender is installed at the front wheel area and must ensure maximum clearance for wheel rotation and jumping. Therefore, designers use "wheel travel diagrams" to verify whether the fender's design dimensions are appropriate based on the selected tire model and size. Fender location: The fender is positioned above the vehicle's wheels, serving as the outer panel on the vehicle's side, and is molded from resin. The fender consists of an outer panel section and a reinforcement section integrally formed from resin. The outer panel section is exposed on the vehicle's side, while the reinforcement section extends along the edge of the outer panel section adjacent to neighboring components. Additionally, an engagement section for fitting with adjacent components is formed between the outer panel's edge and the reinforcement section.

Can Temporary License Plate Speeding Violations Be Captured?

Temporary license plate speeding violations can be captured. Here are the detailed explanations: Current surveillance facilities are highly intelligent: High-definition surveillance cameras are installed on highways to capture speeding, illegal parking, and other violations 24/7. Additionally, mobile speed detection vehicles patrol highways continuously. Many intersections are equipped with smart electronic police, and road patrol officers have significantly increased, equipped with body cameras, forming an evidence chain to collaboratively enforce traffic laws. Penalties for speeding: Speeding within 10% results in a warning. Speeding between 10%-20% incurs 3 penalty points, 20%-50% incurs 6 points, and exceeding 50% incurs 12 points, along with varying fines.

Can an A2 driver's license with 9 points deducted be reviewed on 12123?

It cannot be reviewed on the 12123 platform. It is recommended to bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate directly to the traffic police station's violation handling window for verification. Annual Review Considerations: During the annual review, the vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lighting. If the vehicle's lights are found to be too dim or too bright, it will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the annual review. If the lights are too dim, check the lighting circuit and bulbs for aging, and replace the relevant components if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to restore the original headlights before the annual review to pass the inspection. Annual Review Procedures: First, after submitting the review application, the vehicle will undergo an online inspection. The vehicle will be driven into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check whether the exhaust emissions, speed, lighting, side slip, and chassis meet the standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number for accuracy. Then, the body appearance will be inspected, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation status, and the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle registration certificate and qualification label. If any items fail, the owner must repair them and participate in a re-inspection until they pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.

For the C1 license, the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve). Some regions may include a sixth item: highway toll card collection. For the C2 license, the test includes four mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve). Precautions for Subject 2 test: When performing reverse parking, pay attention to controlling the speed. Starting must be completed within 30 seconds; during parallel parking, maintain a proper 30cm side distance and reference points; during curve driving, adjust the vehicle body slowly to ensure the wheels do not cross the lines; during right-angle turns, find the right moment to steer the wheel.

How many inspections per year are required for a car after 15 years?

Twice. Below are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must undergo inspection once every 2 years within the first 6 years; once every year after exceeding 6 years; and once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 2. Requirements: During power inspection for private vehicles, the chassis output power must not be lower than 60% of the engine's rated power or 65% of the maximum net power. Additionally, the new standard stipulates that vehicles failing safety or environmental standards during an inspection cycle will be mandatorily scrapped. The power inspection will replace the current fuel consumption test to phase out vehicles with poor performance indicators.
