Engine, transmission, all vehicle fluids, and bearing components. Below is relevant information: 1. Definition of a Flood-Damaged Vehicle: A flood-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the wiring harness has been soaked, with water immersion depth exceeding one-third of the wheel height, and the vehicle's underbody components have been in prolonged contact with water. Based on the extent of water immersion, it can be classified into three levels. 2. Water-Damaged Vehicle: When the water level exceeds the vehicle's chassis, it is called a water-damaged vehicle. 3. Semi-Flooded Vehicle: When the water level exceeds the oil dipstick, it is termed a semi-flooded vehicle. 4. Fully Flooded Vehicle: When the water level exceeds the engine hood or the dashboard panel, it is called a fully flooded vehicle.

What is the difference between red and green antifreeze?

There is essentially no difference between red and green automotive antifreeze. Antifreeze itself is a colorless and transparent liquid, and the different colors are due to dyes added to the liquid. The bright colors are simply meant to help users distinguish between different types of antifreeze during selection, preventing the mixing of different antifreeze types, which could damage the engine. Below is a related introduction to antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is generally green, propylene glycol is red with a hint of orange, and diethylene glycol is blue. The chemical properties of antifreeze can vary significantly depending on the color and brand, and their compositions also differ. Currently, ethylene glycol antifreeze is widely used in the market, with some phosphate-based variants available. If these two types of antifreeze are mixed, they can produce highly corrosive substances, causing significant damage to the engine. Even if the main components are the same, if the minor components differ, mixing is still not advisable. Therefore, when switching to a different brand of antifreeze, it is necessary to flush the system before refilling. Especially during summer use, never replace antifreeze with tap water or other liquids, as this can cause severe damage to the engine. The color of antifreeze is artificially added and should not be used as a criterion to evaluate its quality. When selecting antifreeze, choose based on the local temperature, generally ensuring it is at least 10 degrees Celsius below the region's lowest temperature.

Can the car still be driven if the thermostat is broken?

If the thermostat is broken, it is generally not recommended to continue driving the car. If there is no repair shop nearby, short-distance driving is possible, but it is necessary to constantly monitor the vehicle's temperature gauge and find a nearby repair shop as soon as possible to fix the issue. Only drive again after ensuring the vehicle is in good condition. Below is some relevant information about the thermostat: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, changing the circulation range of the water to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. The thermostat must maintain good technical condition; otherwise, it can severely affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the main valve of the thermostat opens too late, it can cause the engine to overheat; if the main valve opens too early, it prolongs the engine's warm-up time, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.

They refer to temporary vehicle driving certificates issued by the public security vehicle management department for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. Generally, when purchasing a new car, it is necessary to simultaneously apply for license plates for the new vehicle, which is equivalent to obtaining the "ID card" of the motor vehicle, allowing it to be driven on the road. Validity period: The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed thirty days. There are four types: temporary license plates for administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for cross-administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special-type motor vehicles.
