Because the bumper is made of a special plastic material that softens when heated, hot water can be used. Prepare the tools, place the repair tool on the dented area, and pull it out with force.

Last time I accidentally scraped the front bumper and cracked a seam. Simple cracks can actually be repaired: clean the crack thoroughly, use a special plastic welding gun (similar to a heat gun) to melt the plastic welding rod, letting it seep into the crack and fuse, then sand it smooth after cooling, and finally spray on the matching color paint. However, if a large piece of the plastic is shattered or severely deformed, welding repairs become pointless, and you’ll basically need to replace the whole thing. Before attempting a repair, check carefully whether the internal clips or mounting tabs are broken—if they are, you’ll need a new bumper. DIY fixes are fine for minor scratches, but for major damage, it’s best to leave it to a professional shop.

What Are the Causes of the Engine Malfunction Light?

The engine malfunction light may illuminate for the following 7 main reasons: Sensor failure: The sensors mentioned here include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or their signals are interrupted, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which may trigger the engine malfunction light. Fuel or oil quality issues: If the fuel or engine oil is not added as required by the manufacturer, it may cause engine wear and trigger the malfunction light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines can cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging problems: Issues with the intake boost piping or turbocharger can also cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. The most common issue is a damaged turbocharger, accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake problems: If the vehicle's intake system has issues, it may lead to blocked engine pipes, and in severe cases, trigger the engine malfunction light. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can cause intake problems. Exhaust problems: Exhaust system failures can also cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. Common causes include faults in the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearings, with the catalytic converter being the most frequent issue. Using leaded gasoline, lead- or silicon-containing lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions can easily lead to catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system failure: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally and trigger the engine malfunction light. If the engine malfunction light is on, follow these steps: First, check whether the engine is running normally, and if there are issues like shaking or black smoke, avoid restarting the engine. Particularly, do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can start, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The vehicle will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait for 5-10 seconds to see if the malfunction light on the dashboard turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.

Is the Trunk Hotter Than the Car Interior?

Generally, the car interior is hotter because it has windows while the trunk does not. However, if exposed to prolonged sunlight, the temperature inside the trunk can also become quite high. During summer, try to avoid parking your car in direct sunlight as this will significantly increase the interior temperature. Additionally, do not leave bottled water, perfume, or lighters in the cabin during summer months, as these items can be hazardous. It is recommended to park your car in an underground parking lot during hot weather. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can accelerate the aging of rubber components on the vehicle body as well as the tires.

At what sub-zero temperature does No. 0 diesel freeze?

No. 0 diesel freezes at zero degrees Celsius. The freezing of diesel is referred to as crystallization. The grade of diesel is named after the freezing point of the oil product, so No. 0 diesel begins to crystallize at 0 degrees Celsius. Automotive diesel is the specialized fuel for diesel engine vehicles. Compared to gasoline engines, diesel engines have higher thermal efficiency, better power performance, greater power output, durability, reliability, and superior cleanliness. The main difference between diesel and gasoline engines lies in the ignition method. In diesel engines, diesel fuel ignites spontaneously upon contact with compressed high-temperature air, hence they are called compression-ignition engines. Gasoline engines, on the other hand, ignite the air-fuel mixture using spark plugs, making them spark-ignition engines.
