What is the difference between factory paint and repaint?

From the perspective of paint layers, factory paint consists of four layers, while repaint only has three layers, lacking the electrophoretic layer. As a result, repaint may develop color differences after some time of use. In terms of application techniques, factory paint is applied by machines, ensuring even spraying, excellent adhesion, and high-temperature resistance. In contrast, repaint is done manually, which can lead to issues like peeling and fading. Below are some advantages of factory paint: Factory paint has a very thin coating: The thickness does not exceed 0.1 millimeters, equivalent to the diameter of a strand of hair. Despite its thinness, factory paint boasts strong adhesion, high hardness, and good wear and corrosion resistance. Factory paint provides uniform color: During production, manufacturers use the same type of paint, sometimes even custom-made specialized paint. Whether in terms of color or type, the paint is perfectly matched to the product, ensuring consistent thickness and uniform color without any color discrepancies.

What Causes Transmission Whining Noise?

Excessive gear meshing clearance in the transmission. When the gear meshing clearance is too large, the driving gear impacts the driven gear during rotation, producing knocking sounds that typically worsen as transmission temperature rises. Conversely, when the meshing clearance is too small, the abnormal noise tends to be continuous - sometimes uniform, sometimes irregular - intensifying with vehicle speed and often causing transmission lubricant overheating. Additional note: Gear noise may also result from damaged gear tooth surfaces, producing irregular yet rhythmic sounds that amplify with throttle input. In severe cases, transmission vibration may be felt.

How to Turn On Low Beam and High Beam?

The switch for high beam and low beam is located on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel. The middle position is for low beam, while the first and third positions are for high beam. The high beam indicator is blue with a straight line shape, while the low beam indicator is green with a downward-sloping line. Both high beam and low beam are part of the headlights, primarily used for nighttime driving illumination. The high beam has a higher angle and longer illumination distance, suitable for poorly lit roads with no streetlights. The low beam has a lower angle and shorter distance, often used on well-lit roads with good visibility. In addition to headlights, the vehicle's lighting system also includes parking lights, brake lights, fog lights, etc., each serving different purposes.

Will tire aging increase tire noise?

Tire aging can indeed increase tire noise. When a vehicle is in motion, tire noise is generated, which is determined by the interaction between the tire and the road surface. Severe wear on the tire tread can amplify the vibration noise of the tire. Factors such as road roughness, road structure, road material, tire pressure, and tire size are all significant contributors to tire noise levels. The specific factors are as follows: 1. Road structure: Friction and vibration occur when the tire tread meets the road surface. 2. Tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure affects tire noise, which is also why new cars may have louder tire noise. 3. Tire tread pattern design: The design of the tire tread plays a dominant role in tire noise. 4. Tire size directly determines the level of tire noise: Generally, larger tire sizes result in louder tire noise.

What Causes Water Leakage in the Trunk?

Generally, there are two common scenarios that can lead to water leakage in the trunk. The first is a faulty trunk seal strip. To test this, you can use a spray method, but someone must spray water from outside the trunk to observe any leakage. The second, less likely scenario is damage to the negative pressure vent caused by water splashed up by the tires. It's recommended to conduct a thorough inspection. Here are some additional tips: 1. Self-inspection for leakage causes: You can simulate rainwater flowing from the roof using a garden spray bottle to identify potential leakage points. 2. Common leakage causes to check: Inspect whether there are issues with the tail light seals, leaks around the rear windshield rubber strip, cracked seal strips, clogged drainage holes near the seals, or aging and cracked metal panels, among other potential problems.

Is Driving Through Water Harmful to Cars?

Yes, it is harmful. Driving through water can potentially damage the engine. Here is some information about engines: 1. Introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The first external combustion engine was invented by R. Stirling in the UK (Scotland) in 1816, which was later improved by Watt into the steam engine. 2. Applicability: Engines can be used as power generation devices or refer to the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). 3. Types: Types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), electric motors, etc.
