If the car is only slightly scratched and the scratch is not deep, merely affecting the outermost layer of paint, then the scratched paint can be repaired by waxing. However, if the base coat has been damaged and some of it has come off, you may try to repair it by repainting it yourself. Below is information about the cost of car repainting: 1. Area of the scratch: Car repainting is calculated by "panel." Even if your scratch is small but spans two or three panels, the repainting work and charges will be calculated based on two or three panels. 2. Paint quality: The paint used for repainting varies depending on the car's grade. Generally, domestic paint can cover a large area for just two to three hundred yuan, but for high-end, premium paint, the cost can easily exceed a thousand yuan. 3. Spraying process: Professional painting centers use computer-mixed paint, ensuring a more precise paint mixing ratio. Nowadays, with careful operation, computer color matching can produce paint with a color difference indistinguishable from the original paint by the naked eye of an average person.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jade?

The fuel tank capacity of the Jade is 50L, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Jade can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Jade is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.3-7.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 704 to 794km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank's safety space. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.

What Causes Squeaking Brakes in Snowy Weather?

The reasons for squeaking car brakes in snowy weather include: rusted brake discs or pads, new brake pads, excessive wear of brake discs and pads, and assembly issues. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Rusted brake discs or pads: After parking for a long time, especially in humid climates or after rain, some rust or dirt may form on the brake discs or pads. This issue can usually be resolved by driving for a while or by applying butter or specialized lubricant at the connection between the brake pads and calipers. 2. New brake pads: New cars or those with newly replaced brake pads may produce similar noises. New brake pads and discs require a break-in period, and such noises during braking are normal. However, if the noise persists after some time, it indicates a problem. 3. Excessive wear of brake discs and pads: Both brake discs and pads are high-wear components that experience friction with every brake application. Over time, they naturally wear out, leading to unusual noises when excessively worn. Regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-80,000 kilometers, while brake discs last between 100,000-120,000 kilometers. 4. Assembly issues: If brake pads are installed incorrectly or are of the wrong model, they can also cause noise. Reinstalling the brake pads may help. Car owners should always have brake pads installed at professional auto repair shops, especially those who have had them replaced at roadside stalls, as this requires extra attention.
