It should be stuck at the place where the door is closest to the body sheet metal when closed. Below is some related information about car door shock absorber shims: 1. Function: They prevent the shock absorber from coming into contact with the car body. When the car turns and the center of gravity shifts to one side, causing the body to tilt and compress the springs, the shims provide support, thereby reducing the car's body roll. 2. Materials Used: The shims are made of paper, rubber sheets, or copper sheets, serving as sealing materials placed between two flat surfaces to enhance sealing. They act as sealing elements installed between static sealing surfaces to prevent fluid leakage. They are attached to the car body using adhesive, and the adhesive materials are mostly very mild, so they will not cause damage to the car body's surface.

What is the reason for the incorrect intake manifold flap position signal in the Magotan?

This situation requires using a computer diagnostic tool to check the fault codes. If there is an intake manifold air leak, the intake manifold needs to be replaced. Relevant introduction about the Magotan: 1. Interior: The new Magotan features a 10.3-inch full LCD digital instrument panel, displaying driving data, navigation, and other vehicle information in high definition. The instrument theme can even change with the ambient lighting color, showcasing dynamic fun. 2. Powertrain: The new Magotan adopts three "T+D" powertrain combinations, where the engine and transmission work in perfect harmony, significantly improving power while reducing fuel consumption. 3. Collision Prevention System: The vehicle is equipped with an MKB multi-collision prevention system. When a collision occurs, the system provides additional braking force to assist in reducing the vehicle speed to a state controllable by the driver, mitigating or avoiding injuries caused by secondary collisions.

How to Check the Manufacturing Date of a Motorcycle?

Check the vehicle's conformity certificate, which contains the accurate manufacturing date down to the year, month, and day. Alternatively, look for the frame nameplate that indicates the production year and month. The nameplate is a small black-and-white metal plate riveted to the frame. Its location varies by brand and model, with the first few pages of the owner's manual typically providing its position. Regarding the frame number (VIN): 1. Description: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to every vehicle, identifying its manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. 2. Note: To avoid confusion with numerals 1, 0, and 9, the letters 'I', 'O', and 'Q' are excluded. The 10th character (denoting model year) additionally omits 'U', 'Z', and '0'.

Is it normal for antifreeze to decrease in winter?

Antifreeze will naturally deplete over time. However, excessive consumption is not normal and requires the car owner to promptly investigate the cause of the reduction to prevent it from affecting the vehicle's normal operation. If antifreeze levels drop significantly in winter, it may lead to freezing and cracking of the cooling system pipes. In summer, insufficient antifreeze can more commonly cause the engine to overheat, negatively impacting its lifespan. Antifreeze actually serves two main functions: 1. When the engine is running, it circulates to provide cooling and maintain the engine at its optimal operating temperature. 2. During winter, it prevents freezing, allowing it to immediately perform the first function as soon as the engine starts.

Can Applying Engine Oil Prevent Rust After It Has Already Formed?

No, you need to grind off the rust layer, perform anti-rust treatment, and then apply paint protection. Below are the precautions for preventing rust on car bodies: 1. Wash the car frequently: Regular cleaning helps maintain the car's cleanliness and prevents rust or corrosion. When driving on roads with salt or alkali in winter or near coastal areas, ensure the car is washed at least once a month to minimize rusting. 2. Repair damaged paint promptly: If cracks or other damage are found on the car body's paint layer, use quick-drying paint to repair them immediately to prevent rust from starting. If rust has reached the metal part, take the car to a repair shop for repainting. 3. Install mudguards: If driving long-term on salt-alkali or gravel roads, install mudguards on the car to effectively maintain cleanliness. Larger mudguards provide better protection.

How many kilometers can a car drive?

New regulations for private car scrappage have abolished the mandatory retirement age, replacing it with a guideline for scrappage after reaching 600,000 kilometers. If the car can still pass the annual inspection after exceeding 600,000 kilometers, it can continue to be driven, but it requires four on-site inspections per year. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. Depending on the nature of the vehicle's use, the inspection items and scope vary. 2. Inspection items: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for the Qualification and Competence Assessment of Inspection Bodies—Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions", motor vehicle inspections include three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection of automobiles.

What is the Appropriate Tire Pressure for SUVs?

suv tire pressure normally ranges between 2.2 to 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is considered the heart of the vehicle, and engine damage can lead to the end of the car's lifespan. Below are factors to consider when adjusting tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, it's advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Road conditions: For roads with significant bumps, it's appropriate to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2 bar from the standard pressure. For smoother roads, this can be ignored. For long-distance high-speed driving, the tire pressure should not be too low; it's advisable to increase it by about 0.2 bar from the lower limit of the standard tire pressure.
