Here are the reasons for water leakage under the car: 1. Weather or road conditions: It is normal for water to splash onto the chassis when driving on wet roads. 2. Air conditioning system drainage: Water leakage under the chassis when the air conditioning is on during summer is normal. 3. Exhaust pipe leakage: Gasoline mixed with air in the cylinder burns completely in the combustion chamber, mainly producing carbon dioxide and water. The water is discharged into the atmosphere as water vapor at high temperatures. 4. Coolant leakage: This is a serious issue. Check for cracks or deformations at the coolant reservoir hose, radiator, and water tank connections. Immediate repair is recommended. 5. Windshield washer fluid or coolant leakage: Inspect the windshield washer reservoir hose, radiator, and water tank connections for cracks or deformations. 6. Engine oil leakage: Immediate repair is necessary when the engine leaks oil, as it is a severe engine fault.

Why does the water temperature rise when idling with the AC on, but returns to normal when driving?

Because the ambient temperature is relatively high, coupled with the heat generated by the engine and other machinery, the water temperature rises when idling with the AC on but returns to normal when driving. Below are solutions for high water temperature when idling with the AC on: 1. Cleaning: Visit a professional repair shop or 4S store to clean the condenser, radiator, and inspect the fan and other cooling components. 2. Rinsing: When washing the car, you can appropriately rinse with a hose, spraying through the gaps of the car emblem where the condenser is located. Over time, it can accumulate dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris. 3. AC usage: Turn on the internal circulation when using the AC to save costs, maintain a lower temperature inside the car, and avoid waste. 4. Cooling method: Use an intermittent cooling approach—once the car interior temperature drops, you can turn off the AC and turn it back on after some time.

How to Deal with Yellow Paint on Car Wheels?

Here are specific methods for dealing with yellow paint on car wheels: 1. Method one: Use specialized cleaning products such as asphalt removers for tire cleaning. Combined with a stiff brush, you can scrub it off. Car tires are resistant to regular scratches but are vulnerable to substances like gasoline, so caution is essential. Although tires are not expensive, they are crucial for safety. 2. Method two: Use some organic solvents for removal, but be careful to use a small amount. Remove it bit by bit, avoiding large quantities to prevent damage to the tire. 3. Additional information: Regularly check whether the tire has reached the wear indicator (groove depth) warning line. Normally used tires should be replaced promptly when they wear down to this mark. Check the tire pressure at least every two months, and do not rely solely on visual inspection of the sinking amount. If you find insufficient pressure, look for the cause of the air leakage.

Which Interior Cleaner is Good?

Different types of interior cleaners have their own advantages. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Organic Cleaners: Organic cleaners are mainly used to remove grease, lubricants, dirt, silicone polishes, rubber processing aids, and fingerprints from the car body surface. Currently, commonly used organic solvents in China include kerosene, gasoline, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and No. 200 solvent gasoline. Imported organic solvents include Prep-sol, P, etc. When using organic solvents, avoid contact with plastic and rubber parts to prevent aging. Additionally, use imported cleaning solvents to wipe clean on thermoplastic acrylic paint surfaces. Carefully read the product instructions. Due to the above characteristics of organic solvents, it is necessary to choose them reasonably based on actual needs in car detailing. 2. Two-in-One Cleaners: Two-in-one cleaners, also known as two-in-one shampoos, are high-grade surface cleaners. The term 'two-in-one' means both cleaning and care, combining cleaning and waxing functions, meeting the requirements for quick cleaning and waxing. Two-in-one cleaners are mainly composed of various surfactants. The waxing component is a specially formulated water wax that forms a wax film on the paint surface during cleaning, enhancing the car's brightness and effectively protecting the paint. 3. M-2001 Shampoo: The cleaning of vehicle interiors mainly targets seats, floors, ceilings, and dashboards. When using cleaners, choose different cleaners based on the different materials of the vehicle interior. For cleaning pure leather dashboards, do not use plastic cleaners; instead, use leather conditioners. For plastic dashboards, dashboard wax can be used.

What are the advantages of new energy vehicles?

New energy vehicles have the advantages of being environmentally friendly and exempt from traffic restrictions. Environmental Protection: New energy vehicles do not use fuel-powered devices, do not require diesel or gasoline, but instead rely on clean energy sources such as electricity and solar power, reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Exempt from Traffic Restrictions: In large cities, new energy vehicles are exempt from traffic restrictions, making travel more convenient. They save fuel costs; if using fuel, the cost is approximately 6 to 8 cents per kilometer, whereas new energy vehicles only require electricity expenses. They have high transmission efficiency, as new energy vehicles generally use electric motors with high transmission efficiency. Additionally, they benefit from policy subsidies; currently, new energy vehicles enjoy policy subsidies, saving a significant amount of money per vehicle.
