The second car maintenance includes servicing the transmission, engine, body suspension, braking and steering systems, as well as tires, etc. If the inspection and maintenance during the second service are done properly, it can significantly improve the overall vehicle condition and greatly enhance driving safety. The specific items for the second car maintenance are: 1. Change the engine oil, oil filter, and fuel filter. 2. Check tire pressure to ensure it is normal. 3. Inspect the suspension arms and shock absorbers to ensure they are securely fixed and functioning properly, with the wheel hub bearings not overheating after driving. 4. After performing the 'three cleans and three filters' operation on the engine, check that it starts easily, runs smoothly, has normal exhaust, and that the coolant temperature and oil pressure meet requirements. Ensure the engine speed is stable, there are no abnormal noises, all belts are properly tensioned, and there are no leaks of water, oil, electricity, or gas. 5. Check that the steering free play and toe-in meet requirements, ensuring the steering is light, flexible, and reliable, with no wobbling or deviation of the front wheels during driving. 6. Verify that the clutch free play meets requirements, ensuring the clutch is easy to operate, fully disengages, engages smoothly and reliably, with no abnormal noises, and no oil leaks in the hydraulic system. 7. Inspect the transmission, drive axle, or half-shaft drive device to ensure good lubrication, secure connections, no abnormal noises or overheating, smooth gear shifting without jumping or oil leaks.

Can I add vehicle damage insurance later if I didn't purchase it initially?

Yes. Additional extended information is as follows: 1. The "Motor Vehicle Damage Insurance Clauses" has corresponding provisions: Article 15 states that unless otherwise agreed, the insurance period of this contract is one year. If the insurance period is less than one year, the premium shall be calculated according to the short-term monthly rate approved by the insurance regulatory authority. The insured shall provide the insurance company with the insurance policy, the driver's license, the insurance vehicle's driving license, accident certificate, traffic accident determination letter, loss list, and other certificates and materials related to confirming the nature, cause, and extent of loss of the insurance accident. 2. Relevant provisions of the "Motor Vehicle Damage Insurance Clauses": Article 22 states that the insured vehicle damaged in an insurance accident should be repaired as much as possible. Before repair, the insured must inspect with the insurance company to determine the repair items, methods, and costs. Otherwise, the insurance company has the right to re-evaluate, and if re-evaluation is impossible, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation.

Why are the production dates of the new car's windows different?

It is normal for the production dates of the new car's windows to be different, as long as the production date of the windows is earlier than the manufacturing date of the entire vehicle. The car's windows are purchased externally and then assembled onto the vehicle. During installation, they are randomly installed according to the production batch of the windows, so different dates are normal. Here's how to interpret the production date of car windows: 1. Currently, the most common method for indicating the production date of windows on the market is a combination of numbers and dots, where the numbers represent the year and the dots represent the month; 2. The dots can be placed either before or after the numbers. Dots before the numbers indicate the first half of the year, and the month can be calculated by subtracting the number of dots before the numbers from 7; 3. Dots after the numbers indicate the second half of the year, and the month can be calculated by subtracting the number of dots after the numbers from 13.

What to Do When Vehicle Air Conditioning Repair Causes One-Button Start Failure?

Vehicle air conditioning repair causing one-button start failure can be resolved by analyzing and inspecting two major components: the circulation system parts and the electrical control system. If the air conditioning system is not cooling, check the control system first. If the control system is functioning properly, proceed to inspect the air conditioning circuit, and finally diagnose the cooling system faults. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in vehicles, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. The method for maintaining car air conditioning is: a few minutes before reaching the destination, the owner should turn off the air conditioning and switch to natural air to allow the temperature inside the air conditioning pipes to rise, eliminating the temperature difference with the outside environment, thereby maintaining relative dryness in the air conditioning system and preventing mold growth.

How to Deal with Musty Smell in Car Air Conditioning?

Here are some methods to address the musty smell in car air conditioning: 1. Before turning off the engine, turn off the air conditioning compressor in advance and switch the mode to external circulation, allowing hot air to dry the moisture in the air conditioning ducts. This prevents the air conditioning from becoming damp and breeding bacteria, which can cause odors. 2. First, open all windows and doors, then turn on the fan to accelerate air circulation. After a few minutes, close the windows and doors and turn on the air conditioning. This releases toxic substances and helps cool the car quickly. 3. Choose to direct the airflow diagonally upward. Utilize the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, allowing cold air to cool the car from top to bottom. 4. Switch between internal and external circulation. If the vehicle is in a congested urban area, to prevent exhaust fumes and other pollutants from entering the car, the driver can use the air conditioning's internal circulation function.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioning Suddenly Stops Cooling?

There are 5 solutions for when the car air conditioning is not cooling: 1. First, check if the compressor is still working: if it is not, then check if it is damaged. If it is damaged, it needs to be replaced with a new compressor; 2. Next, inspect the refrigerant pipes to see if there are any leaks or damage: if they are damaged, the ventilation pipes need to be replaced; 3. Then, check if there is still refrigerant (commonly referred to as 'snow' in Chinese), as refrigerant is essential for cooling: after prolonged use, some may be lost due to various reasons, so check if there is still refrigerant. If not, add two bottles of refrigerant; 4. After that, clean or replace the air conditioning filter. Over time, the filter can accumulate impurities: thus, it should be cleaned in a timely manner, as this is one of the reasons why the car air conditioning may not be cooling; 5. Finally, check the battery to see if it has power.
