Below are the differences between a flooded car and a waterlogged car: Different concepts: A flooded car refers to a vehicle that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with the water depth exceeding the wheels and body seats, and the vehicle's bottom components being in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical circuits are prone to short circuits and fires. A "waterlogged car" refers to vehicles that, due to heavy rain, were not moved in time by their owners from underground garages or low-lying areas and were submerged in water for an extended period. Different degrees of water ingress: A flooded car refers to a vehicle directly submerged in water, with the water depth exceeding one-third of the wheel height. In reality, both wading and submersion affect the vehicle, with the extent of the impact depending on the water depth. A waterlogged car has been submerged for a long time, with a higher degree of water ingress than a flooded car.

What Are the Correct Steps for Cleaning a Car Air Conditioner?

The correct steps for cleaning a car air conditioner are: 1. Remove the air filter and blower of the vehicle to be cleaned (depending on the vehicle model, some may not require removing the blower); 2. Place a clean water basin under the air conditioner's drain outlet at the bottom of the car to collect dirty water; 3. Adjust the endoscope camera's bend at the designated folding position on the cleaning machine to an appropriate angle; 4. Insert the cleaning machine's endoscope camera and nozzle through the blower motor hole to clearly observe the location and contamination around the car's evaporator; 5. Load the degreaser onto the cleaning gun, connect the spray gun to the air pump, and hold the spray gun nozzle close to the upper part of the evaporator, evenly spraying the degreaser. Wait for about 1 minute until the stains foam, soften, and loosen; 6. After cleaning, first reinstall the blower and start the vehicle to dry the evaporator, then use a fogging antibacterial machine to sterilize the air conditioner ducts through fogging.

How to check tire pressure on the Volkswagen New Sagitar?

You can check the tire pressure on the Volkswagen New Sagitar through the car's central control display and dashboard. The new Sagitar is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, which can monitor the tire pressure in real-time during driving, providing more comprehensive protection for driving safety. Below is an introduction to tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. 2. Nowadays, many tires are not filled with air, and for these tires, the tire pressure requirements are quite strict. For tires filled with air, the pressure is related to seasonal changes. Moreover, tire pressure is closely linked to the car's performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and also affects the lifespan of the tire. 3. Air pressure is the lifeblood of a tire; both too high and too low pressure will shorten the tire's service life. Low pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, easily causing cracks on the tire side, and generates flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and breaking of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.

Why does the car shake and stall frequently at idle when warmed up?

The reasons for unstable idle, shaking, and stalling are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits. The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. 2. Ignition system issues. Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor ignition system performance or weak spark plug firing can also lead to such symptoms. 3. Unstable fuel pressure. If you have already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience shaking at idle, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can cause the car to shake. 4. Aging engine components. Car shaking can also be related to worn engine mounts (also known as engine mounts). Engine mounts are essentially the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and the interior, causing shaking at idle.
