The causes of shock absorber noise include shock absorber oil leakage and aging of the shock absorber top mount thrust bearing. Below are the specific reasons for shock absorber noise: Shock absorber oil leakage: When the shock absorber leaks oil, the interior of the shock absorber cylinder cannot be effectively lubricated, resulting in significant friction noise during operation. Aging of the shock absorber top mount thrust bearing: The thrust bearing is located in the engine compartment. Open the hood and press down on the body to check if the noise is coming from the shock absorber top mount. If so, it is likely due to aging of the thrust bearing. If the shock absorber spring is deformed or broken, the only solution is to replace the entire shock absorber spring.

Will the insurance company compensate if the car is scratched?

If the car is scratched, the insurance company will provide compensation. However, with a standard car damage insurance policy, the compensation will not be 100%. The insurance company will only cover 70% of the damages. Below is a detailed introduction to car damage insurance: Car Damage Insurance: Car damage insurance provides compensation for the policyholder. If the insured vehicle is involved in an accident, the losses can be claimed through this insurance. After purchasing this insurance, the car owner does not need to bear the repair costs, making it a crucial policy for the vehicle. Car damage insurance covers unexpected traffic accidents as well. Other Insurance Types: Third-party liability insurance is essential when the policyholder is primarily at fault in a traffic accident.

What Causes the Engine Oil Warning Light to Illuminate and How to Address It?

The main reasons for the engine oil warning light to illuminate are: 1. Excessive oil viscosity; 2. Blockage or improper adjustment of the pressure relief valve; 3. Insufficient oil level; 4. Overheating of the engine; 5. Malfunction of the oil bypass valve; 6. Clogged oil filter; 7. Oil pipeline leakage. When the engine oil warning light comes on, it is crucial to check the oil level immediately and monitor the warning light closely. If the oil light remains illuminated, the vehicle should not be driven further, and a tow truck should be called. It is essential to promptly diagnose and repair any issues causing the oil light to come on. Continuing to drive without identifying the cause can lead to severe engine damage, such as cylinder scoring or crankshaft seizure due to excessive wear.

Why can't the trunk be opened with the remote control?

The trunk may not open with the remote control due to a damaged or dead battery in the remote key, the trunk being blocked or stuck, or a malfunction in the trunk control circuit. Below is an introduction to the car trunk: Maintenance: Keep the trunk clean and use the nets on both sides correctly. Most cars come equipped with these nets to hold items that are prone to rolling, such as flashlights and small fire extinguishers. They don't take up much space, but it's not advisable to pile items together, as they may fall out of the nets due to bumps during driving. Precautions: Flammable and explosive items are prohibited. The car interior is a relatively enclosed space, and in summer, the temperature inside can become very high after being exposed to the sun. Storing flammable or explosive items in the trunk may lead to spontaneous combustion or explosion due to the high temperature.

Can the car still run with 50km of fuel left?

Each car has a different fuel tank capacity, but generally, a car can still run with 50km of fuel left. Methods to reduce fuel consumption are as follows: Properly adjust tire inflation pressure: Maintaining the correct tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, slightly higher tire pressure (about +0.2bar above the recommended value) can also save fuel. Moderate use of in-car auxiliary electrical equipment: Using certain electrical devices can significantly increase fuel consumption, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function. If the heating purpose has been achieved, the seat heater should be turned off promptly. The rear window defroster should also be turned off when there is no fog or ice on the window.
