The thermostat valve not opening may be due to the vehicle's thermostat being installed in the wrong direction, or it could be an issue with the quality of the thermostat itself, requiring replacement of the thermostat. Below is an introduction to related knowledge about the thermostat valve: 1. Function: The car thermostat's role is to remain closed when the vehicle's temperature has not yet reached the normal operating temperature. At this time, the engine's coolant returns to the engine via the water pump, creating a small internal circulation within the engine to facilitate rapid warming up. 2. Thermostat location: The thermostat is generally located at the junction of the engine and the radiator hose. Some are on the upper side, while others are on the lower hose. If it appears slightly oval in shape, it is inside. Some thermostats are located in the hose leading from the cylinder head to the radiator, with a small hose connected to the water pump nearby.

Door Deformation: Sheet Metal Repair or Door Replacement?

After an accident, it's generally advisable to avoid replacing the car door if possible and opt for sheet metal repair instead. 1. Sheet Metal Repair: However, sheet metal repair can have some impact, and the restoration may not be perfect, largely depending on the technician's skill. If the door is severely damaged with significant dents and deformation, repair is usually not recommended due to limited effectiveness. 2. Door Replacement: Since car doors are not considered wear-and-tear parts, any replacement can reasonably lead to suspicion of prior collision damage, classifying the car as an accident vehicle. This significantly depreciates the car's value, potentially resulting in a steep price drop if sold as a used car. Additionally, replacement doors are never as good as the original. Some owners report issues like large door gaps, noise, and possible looseness after replacement, which can also affect the car's structural rigidity to some extent.

What to Do If You Find Water in Gasoline?

If you have refueled with water-contaminated gasoline and experience failure to start, it is recommended to tow the vehicle to a repair shop for cleaning the fuel tank and fuel lines, replacing the gasoline filter, and inspecting the fuel pump, fuel injectors, cylinders, and exhaust oxygen sensors. Replace any damaged components if necessary. 1. Standards for Water-Contaminated Gasoline: Water-contaminated gasoline refers to gasoline containing water content exceeding national standards.

Methods for Rights Protection: Vehicle owners can file complaints with the petroleum company to obtain corresponding compensation. Retaining fuel receipts and obtaining a gasoline inspection report from the testing department serve as the basis for claiming compensation from the petroleum company.

Should the City use 5w30 or 5w40 engine oil?

Both 5w30 and 5w40 engine oils are suitable for the City. Naturally aspirated engines have lower requirements for oil performance, so mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. If the consumer's budget allows, fully synthetic oil can be adopted. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and more complex operating conditions, requiring higher oil performance and better-flowing lubricants, so fully synthetic oil is recommended. Engine oil brand selection: 1. If prioritizing oil longevity, Mobil oil can be chosen. 2. If emphasizing the oil's engine cleaning capability, Shell oil can be used. 3. For oil with strong film toughness, Castrol can be selected.

Can Car Welcome Lights Cause Vehicle Spontaneous Combustion?

Car welcome lights can indeed cause vehicle spontaneous combustion for the following reason: As a type of vehicle lighting system, welcome lights require wiring modifications.

Welcome lights come in two main types: LED format and laser format, and their wiring installation methods are categorized as: surface-mounted and concealed. The working principle of car welcome lights is: when the driver or passenger prepares to enter the vehicle and opens the door, the door bottom light activates instantly. Similarly, when turning off the engine and opening the door, the welcome light illuminates immediately to light up the ground area, then turns off promptly when the door is closed.
