Fill the dented area with putty. After the putty dries (approximately two hours), use sandpaper with water to sand the filled area; 3. Use masking tape to cover areas that should not be painted with newspaper or tape, prepare for painting, and test the color by attaching the paint pen to the spray can; 4. If the paint pen solution is too thick or the color is too dark, use a straw to add thinner to the paint pen. Pay attention to the color transition when spraying; 5. Prepare clear coat, remove the paint pen and straw, replace with a new straw, and attach the clear coat to the spray can; 6. Spray the clear coat on the repaired area, wait for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove the newspaper or tape to complete the repair.

Do New Energy Vehicles Have Manual and Automatic Transmissions?

Pure electric new energy vehicles do not have manual transmissions, only automatic transmissions, which are continuously variable transmissions. Hybrid new energy vehicles, on the other hand, come with both manual and automatic transmissions. Below is additional information: 1. Pure Electric Vehicles: These are vehicles that use a single battery as the energy storage power source. They utilize the battery to store power and provide electricity to the motor, which drives the vehicle. Deceleration is not achieved through a transmission clutch but rather functions similarly to a continuously variable transmission. 2. Hybrid Electric Vehicles: These are vehicles whose drive system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The vehicle's driving power is provided by either a single drive system or multiple drive systems working together, depending on the actual driving conditions. Due to differences in components, layout, and control strategies, hybrid vehicles come in various forms.

What Causes a Gasoline Smell in the Air Conditioning?

Here are the specific reasons for a gasoline smell in the air conditioning: 1. Overfilled gasoline tank: Gasoline may enter the carbon canister through the pipelines. The carbon canister, originally designed to collect gasoline vapor, will release excess gasoline vapor through the vent hole when invaded by liquid gasoline. When the air conditioning is in external circulation mode, the gasoline smell can enter the car interior. 2. Gasoline pipe leakage: The gasoline smell may enter the car through the air conditioning system. Leakage usually occurs at the joints between pipes. If there is leakage at the joints when the engine compartment is opened, dust will adhere to the surface, forming oily sludge. 3. Replacement or disassembly of the gasoline pump: A gasoline smell in the car may be caused by residual substances not being cleaned properly after disassembly. It is necessary to visit a repair shop to check if the gasoline pump is installed correctly.

Why Are License Plates Starting with 9 Considered Good?

In ancient times, emperors were referred to as the "Ninth Five Supreme," and the phrase "as weighty as nine tripods" signifies an unbreakable promise, indicating that the number "9" has always represented the highest status. In the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, "9" belongs to water, capable of dissolving all hardships, symbolizing a prosperous and flourishing momentum in feng shui. In love, it signifies "everlasting," and in career, it represents "long-lasting wealth and honor." Choosing a license plate starting with "9" can bring smoother financial investments to the car owner, with the potential for unexpected wealth amidst stability. Here are some important points to note when registering a license plate: 1. Vehicle certification is required for registration: When registering the vehicle at the DMV, the vehicle’s certification must be submitted to the staff for archiving. 2. Purchase invoice is required for registration: Whether buying from a 4S store or an auto trade company, the car owner will receive a purchase invoice after the purchase. This invoice must be kept safe, as without it, the vehicle cannot be registered. The purchase invoice must also be submitted to the DMV staff during registration and will be archived.

What is the difference between China V and China VI standards?

The differences between China V and China VI emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: The China VI emission standard is more than 30% stricter than China V. Excluding the influence of working conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China V standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth stage of national motor vehicle emission standards. The China VI standard has been implemented since July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China V stage, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards, but China VI adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Different issuing departments: The China V standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, while the China VI standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China V is represented by "V," and China VI is represented by "VI." Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China V, China VI has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulations. The China V standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM (fine particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China VI has two standards: China VIa and China VIb. The details are as follows: China VIa standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM (fine particulate matter) per kilometer driven. China VIb standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 milligrams of PM (fine particulate matter) per kilometer driven. Affected by the China VI emission policy, although China V vehicles are not currently restricted from normal use, such as road restrictions or license plate limitations, their resale value will be significantly impacted. For car owners, if they purchase a truck for freight transport with a loan, the depreciation of the vehicle after paying off the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China VI vehicles, which have a longer lifespan and more road rights, are more advantageous.
