If your car is flooded, you should purchase water ingress insurance. Water ingress insurance, also known as automobile damage insurance or engine special loss insurance, is called differently by various insurance companies, but the essence is the same. It is a newly derived type of insurance, all referring to an additional insurance purchased by the car owner for the engine. Below is detailed information about it: 1. Introduction One: Although the coverage of automobile damage insurance is extensive, some insurance companies stipulate that engine insurance requires an additional purchase of 'engine special loss insurance.' 2. Introduction Two: Water ingress insurance covers losses caused by driving through water. Among the insurance products of various insurance companies, there is an additional product called engine water ingress loss insurance, such as compensation for vehicle damage caused by water ingress during driving.

Can I install the vehicle license plate by myself?

You can install the vehicle license plate by yourself. The installation method is as follows: 1. Take out the license plate screws and insert them into the anti-theft caps while rotating; 2. Position the license plate correctly, align the screws with the four gaps on the bumper, and secure them with a cross screwdriver; 3. After tightening, cover the anti-theft caps and press them gently. License plates are plates hung on the front and rear of the vehicle, usually made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. Their main function is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details through the license plate.

What Causes Belt Squealing?

Because the belt slips on the generator, intense friction and vibration occur between the belt and the pulley, producing a noise at a certain frequency. The main reasons for belt slippage are belt looseness or aging. Factors that can cause belt looseness include improper adjustment of the belt tensioner or insufficient tensioner spring force. Below is extended information about the belt: 1. Solution: Adjust the tension of the belt tensioner; if ineffective, replace the tensioner. Belt aging mainly refers to the belt gradually hardening and losing elasticity over prolonged use, reducing friction with the pulley. In this case, the only solution is to replace the belt. 2. Adjustment: If the belt is too loose, it will slip and produce noise; if too tight, it increases the belt's transmission resistance and causes premature wear on the bearings of the driven generator, water pump, and air conditioning. Adjusting the generator belt to the proper tension is crucial.

Can a Car Battery Still Be Used After Getting Wet?

If a car battery is soaked in water and not treated promptly, it cannot be used. Although there is water inside the battery, it is different from ordinary water. The water inside a battery is usually distilled or high-purity water, which has very low conductivity and is essentially non-conductive. However, common water in daily life contains various metals and trace elements that conduct electricity, so water ingress can cause short circuits and other issues in the battery. More details are as follows: 1. Car battery discharge: This can lead to sulfation of the battery. If the discharge is severe, it may even render the battery unusable. Battery discharge refers to deep discharge, where the voltage drops below 10.50V, causing sulfuric acid to react with the lead plates to form lead sulfate. 2. If not recharged in time: Lead sulfate can crystallize. Over time, these crystals will not decompose during recharging, a condition known as battery sulfation. After a car battery discharges, it should be recharged immediately using a battery charger. If a regular charger fails to recharge the battery, a repair device with high-resistance repair must be used to raise the voltage above 10V for successful recharging.

What Are the Impacts of Having 6 Points Deducted from a Driver's License?

Having 6 points deducted from a driver's license only has impacts under specific circumstances. The details are as follows: 1. Points Accumulation: For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, if they accumulate more than 6 points but less than 12 points during the one-year probation period, their probation period will be extended by one year. If they again accumulate more than 6 points but less than 12 points during the extended probation period, their driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. 2. Fines Situation: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates less than 12 points in a scoring cycle and has paid all the fines, the points will be cleared at the end of the scoring cycle; if there are still unpaid fines even though the points are less than 12, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle. 3. Traffic Accident Case Warning Education: For drivers with licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, if they have points deducted in a scoring cycle, they must participate in at least three hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency response, and other knowledge during the review, and receive traffic accident case warning education.

What Causes a Vehicle to Have No Power Even When the Battery Has Charge?

When a vehicle has no power despite the battery having charge, the reasons may include: loose battery group connectors, broken internal battery connection wires, short circuits in the wiring, blown fuses, or the vehicle's power-off switch not being turned on. Below are more relevant details: 1. Battery: The red terminal is the positive pole, and the black terminal is the negative pole. Generally, the left side is positive and the right side is negative. Be cautious to avoid short circuits when connecting the battery. Short-term exposure to water will not affect the battery's performance, as water is a weak electrolyte with poor conductivity. However, it is essential to dry it immediately to prevent oxidation of the terminals, which could lead to terminal detachment and battery damage. 2. Battery Has Charge but Vehicle Won't Start: This symptom is often caused by a blown fuse responsible for the starter motor. It's important to note that if the vehicle fails to start, avoid repeatedly attempting to start it, as this can drain the battery completely, leaving it powerless. 3. Replacing a Fuse: If a car fuse is blown, it must be replaced. You can visit a repair shop to have it replaced. 4. Fuse Location: The location of the fuse varies depending on the vehicle model. Generally, the fuse box is near the battery. The fuse box is usually secured with clips, and some high-end models may have bolts. Carefully remove the box to access the fuses.

What is the difference between internal and external air circulation?

The differences between internal and external air circulation: 1. Different principles: Internal circulation keeps the air inside the car flowing in a closed environment; External circulation brings outside air into the vehicle. 2. Different air intake locations: Internal circulation draws air from inside the cabin, preventing outside air from entering; External circulation's air intake is located below the front windshield wiper, pulling outside air into the car. 3. Different effects: Prolonged use of internal circulation can make the air stale, reduce oxygen levels, cause discomfort like heat and fatigue, and affect driving safety; External circulation maintains air flow between inside and outside the car, preventing excessive carbon dioxide concentration.
