The reasons and solutions for car air conditioning leaking water into the car are as follows: 1. Poor drainage pipe: Long-term use of the drainage pipe can cause aging, loosening, or bending, forming a wavy shape, leading to poor drainage and local blockages, which will cause water to flow into the car. Solution: Replace the drainage pipe. 2. Clogged drain outlet: The drain outlet leading outside is blocked by dirt, preventing condensation water from draining, which will slowly cause the water level to backflow and then flow into the car. Solution: Clean the debris in the drainage pipe. 3. Improper installation of the unit: Excessive tilting of the indoor unit or the direction of the pipe being too high can prevent water from flowing, causing the water level to accumulate and eventually flow into the car over time. Solution: Reinstall the unit.

After driving for so many years, I've encountered the issue of air conditioning leaks several times. Water leaking onto the car's carpet makes it all wet, which is particularly annoying. The most likely cause is a clogged drain pipe. When the air conditioner is running, it produces condensation water, which can backflow into the cabin if it can't drain properly. I remember one summer when I turned on the AC, water immediately pooled at my feet. I quickly checked the drain hole location under the car, usually found below the driver's seat or near the engine compartment. Using a thin wire or an air spray pipe to gently clear the blockage often works, but be careful not to damage the pipe. If that doesn't help, it might be due to a cracked pipe, a leaking evaporator, or installation issues, which require professional repair. Don't delay fixing it, as prolonged water accumulation can lead to mold, rust, and even short circuits, affecting both health and driving safety. I make it a habit to check the drain port every time I wash my car, as regular maintenance can prevent problems. Keeping the driving environment clean and preventing leaves and debris from entering the pipes has helped me avoid such issues ever since I adopted this habit.

What is the pass rate for Subject 2?

In 2021, the one-time pass rate for Subject 2 could basically reach 50%. Because Subject 2 is relatively difficult, requiring both practical skills and psychological factors, fewer people actually pass. Preparation before the test If you don't want to travel long distances to the vehicle management office to take the test, you can choose to stay in a hotel near the vehicle management office the night before the test, preferably with a companion. Being well-rested and not having to rush to queue for a number is a good start to the test, allowing you to stay relaxed and unhurried. Waiting before the test The vehicle management office usually opens at 7 AM, and the test starts at 8 AM. The numbers are assigned in chronological order, and the position in the queue can give you a rough idea of the test time. If there are people around who are extremely nervous and affecting your mood, immediately distance yourself to avoid catching their nervousness.

Are there many people who score 100 points in the Subject 1 test?

Scoring 100 points in the Subject 1 test is rare, as it's quite difficult to answer all 100 questions correctly. Three sets of numbers to remember: Remember the three sets of numbers "261", "145", and "520": visibility of 200 meters, speed limit of 60 km/h, and distance of 100 meters; visibility of 100 meters, speed limit of 40 km/h, and distance of 50 meters; visibility of 50 meters, speed limit of 20 km/h, and exiting the highway as soon as possible. Right-of-way principles: Turning vehicles yield to straight-moving vehicles; at intersections without traffic signals, yield to vehicles coming from the right; right-turning vehicles yield to left-turning vehicles.
