If the person who hit your car has left a phone number, contact them promptly to proceed with the insurance process. Immediately notify your own insurance company, informing them that your car has been hit. The first thing to do now is to take photos to collect evidence. Take a picture of the front of the vehicle (including road signs, license plate numbers, etc.). If no one contacts you after the collision or the person who hit your car cannot be found, you will need to bear the costs of the damage or repairs yourself. If the car is slightly damaged, it is recommended to handle the matter privately. If the damage is more severe, it is advisable to go through the insurance process, as minor damages can be repaired.

What to Do About Engine Cylinder Scoring?

Engine cylinder scoring treatment method: Replace the cylinder block and piston. Engine cylinder scoring is a very serious engine failure, referring to deep grooves being scratched on the inner wall of the cylinder, causing the piston, piston rings, and cylinder wall to lose their sealing ability due to friction. This results in reduced cylinder compression pressure and loss of power. If the symptoms of cylinder scoring continue to be used, the condition will only worsen. Causes of engine cylinder scoring failure: 1. Engine cooling system leaks or lacks water, failing to replenish in time, leading to engine overheating; 2. Engine oil level is too low, causing loss of cylinder sealing and lubrication function; 3. Piston ring breaks, scratching the cylinder wall; 4. Piston pin retaining ring falls off, scratching the cylinder wall; 5. Use of inferior fuel; 6. Piston pin protrudes, scratching the cylinder wall; 7. Foreign objects enter the cylinder; 8. The fit clearance between the piston and cylinder wall is too small; 9. Piston pin assembly is too tight, causing piston deformation; 10. Engine operates at high speed or under overload for a long time; 11. Severe thermal deformation or melting of the piston top.

What are the symptoms of a small amount of water entering the engine?

Symptoms of a small amount of water entering the engine: 1. Vehicle stalling while driving: When the vehicle experiences a loss of power during acceleration or suddenly stalls while driving, it is generally due to water entering the engine combustion chamber, causing the spark plugs to malfunction; 2. Brake failure: If the vehicle exhibits symptoms of weak braking or complete brake failure, it is possible that water has entered the brake fluid, causing it to vaporize under high temperatures; 3. Engine oil turning white: Normal engine oil is light yellow or colorless. If the oil turns white or becomes cloudy, it may indicate the presence of water; 4. White smoke from the exhaust pipe: When water enters the engine fuel or cylinders, the high temperatures generated by the engine's operation will vaporize the water, forming steam that is expelled through the exhaust pipe.

What is engine misfire?

Engine misfire may be caused by issues such as poor valve sealing, spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, or piston ring sealing problems. Engine misfire primarily refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not functioning properly, typically manifested as: 1. Noticeable abnormal engine operation or insufficient power; 2. Uneven engine operation and rhythmic shaking at high, medium, and low speeds; 3. Black smoke and backfiring from the muffler. Engine misfire operation can cause significant harm: 1. Decrease in engine speed and power; 2. Increased fuel consumption and emission pollution; 3. Accelerated wear of operating components, shortening the service life of lubricating oil.

What is the difference between parking gear and handbrake?

The differences between parking gear and handbrake are: 1. The engine can only be started when the gear lever is in the P or N position. To move out of these positions while the ignition is on, you must press the brake pedal and simultaneously press the handle button. 2. Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions cannot be started by towing. Due to the flexible connection between the torque converter and the engine, the transmission cannot rotate the crankshaft in reverse. 3. The P gear can serve as an auxiliary brake to the handbrake but cannot replace it. For prolonged parking, the gear lever should be placed in the P position while the handbrake must be engaged. 4. For short-term stops while driving, you can leave the gear in D and hold the brake pedal; there is no need to shift to P gear.

What are the symptoms of engine misfire?

Symptoms of engine misfire: 1. Abnormal engine operation or insufficient power; 2. Uneven operation with rhythmic shaking; 3. Black smoke from the muffler. Hazards of misfire: 1. Decreased engine lubrication; 2. Increased fuel consumption and emission pollution; 3. Accelerated wear of moving parts and increased abnormal shaking. Engine misfire can lead to high fuel consumption, black smoke, lack of power, decreased horsepower, inability to accelerate, severe shaking, increased driving noise, and poses significant safety risks, especially on uphill starts where the engine load increases, making the body shake more noticeably and prone to sudden stalling.

How to Determine if the ABS Pump is Damaged?

Judgment Method: If the ABS pump is damaged, the brake pedal will feel very hard when pressed, and the sound will be strange, not the usual crisp and short sound. You can find a flat, uninhabited road, maintain a speed of about 60 mph, and slam on the brakes. If the brake pedal kicks back, it indicates that the ABS is functioning normally; if it doesn't kick back, it means the ABS is not working and there is a fault. If you remove the ABS fuse and apply the brakes at around 40 km/h, you will notice obvious brake marks on the vehicle. Here are the consequences of a faulty ABS: 1. If the ABS is damaged, there is a very serious hidden danger: in the case of emergency braking, the ABS function will not perform its role. 2. The ABS system prevents the tires from locking during sudden braking, avoiding accidents. If the ABS pump is damaged, the ABS warning light will come on, the anti-lock function will fail, and the brake pads will not reset. 3. If the ABS function is lost, you should use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) when braking, avoid sudden braking, and go to a professional repair shop for repair or replacement. 4. Modern cars are extensively equipped with anti-lock braking systems. The ABS not only has the braking function of a conventional braking system but also prevents wheel lock-up, allowing the car to steer while braking, ensuring directional stability during braking, and preventing skidding and deviation. It is currently the most advanced and effective braking device in automobiles.
