Flood-damaged vehicles require the following replacements: Engine: Do not attempt to start or turn over the engine. Tow it to a repair shop as soon as possible for disassembly and cleaning. The engine must have all spark plugs removed and undergo a cylinder pressure test. Typically, gasoline engines should have cylinder pressure within the range of 900 kPa to 1100 kPa. Transmission: After disassembly, clean the oil passages, valve body, friction plates, and torque converter. It is best to send the transmission to a professional automatic transmission repair shop for cleaning, inspection, and repair. Replace the transmission fluid, friction plates, check valves, and the transmission repair kit. Wiring Harness: For vehicles submerged for several days, it is advisable to replace all wiring harnesses, including those for electric motors, audio systems, air conditioning control panels, ABS modules, and other electronic components.

What Causes the Gurgling Sound in the Sagitar's Exhaust Pipe?

The gurgling sound in the Sagitar's exhaust pipe is caused by carbon dioxide and water produced during gasoline combustion, which is the main source of the moisture. Solutions are as follows: 1. Drive at high speeds or during midday when temperatures are higher, secure the vehicle with the handbrake before starting the engine. 2. Quickly press the accelerator in neutral to rapidly increase the engine speed to between 2000 and 4000 RPM. 3. Release and repeat several times until no more water is discharged. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The exhaust system is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system, thereby reducing vibration and noise, facilitating installation, and extending the life of the exhaust muffler system. 2. The exhaust pipe primarily functions to reduce vibration and noise (muffling) and decrease pollution from harmful gases. During driving, the pressure of exhaust gases leaving the engine is high, resulting in significant noise. The exhaust pipe contains a muffler, which helps to reduce the noise to some extent.

When not needed, the exterior rearview mirror heater must be turned off to avoid wasting fuel. When the exterior rearview mirror heating is activated, the heater operates at maximum power for approximately two minutes before adjusting the heating temperature based on the outside temperature. Be cautious not to touch the mirror surface during heating, as the temperature can reach up to 60 degrees Celsius, which may cause burns, especially in children.

What are the reasons for the non-display of the reversing camera in the 2021 Bora?

If the reversing camera of the Bora does not display, it is usually due to a disconnected video extension cable connector or a broken video cable caused by frequent opening of the trunk, which requires replacing the cable to resolve. If the reversing light also does not illuminate at the same time, it is generally because the reversing fuse has blown. Below are the specific details of related content: 1. The camera is damaged or blocked. If the camera is damaged, the image cannot be transmitted to the computer, and naturally, it cannot be displayed. It is recommended that the owner promptly go for inspection and repair, and replace the camera if necessary. 2. Poor electrical contact. If the owner frequently drives on rough roads, the bumpy environment may cause the internal wiring of the vehicle to loosen or fall off. When the wiring has poor contact, the image mapped by the camera cannot be transmitted to the host. In this case, it is necessary to check the wiring inside the central control panel. 3. The battery is dead. When the car is in the off state, prolonged use of lights or multimedia can lead to a drained battery. When the battery is low on power or dead, the car's multimedia system will not function, and the reversing camera will disappear. In this situation, it is necessary to recharge the battery or replace it with a new one.

What lights should be used when overtaking on the highway?

When overtaking on the highway, you should turn on the left turn signal in advance and switch between high and low beams. The following is a detailed introduction about turn signals: 1. Function of turn signals: To indicate to pedestrians or other vehicles the direction of the upcoming turn, either left or right; on the highway, it also indicates the direction of overtaking and lane changing; when both left and right turn signals are on simultaneously, it indicates that the vehicle has an emergency situation to alert other vehicles. 2. Usage of turn signals: (1) Entering a roundabout: Turn on the left turn signal in advance to alert the following vehicle. (2) Exiting a roundabout: Turn on the right turn signal in advance and pay attention to yielding to vehicles on the right rear. (3) Inside the roundabout: When driving inside a roundabout, the principle of 'exit before entry' should be followed, avoiding forced entry, with safe driving being the top priority. When approaching a general flat intersection, depending on the road width, traffic flow, and current driving speed, turn on the turn signal in the direction of the turn 30-10 meters before the intersection. For right turns or changing to the right lane, the right turn signal must be turned on; for left turns or changing to the left lane, the left turn signal must be turned on. When entering an intersection with guide lanes, the turn signal should be turned on before entering the guide lane. Where is the throttle located?
