For vehicle damage caused by road potholes and injuries to e-bike riders, both drivers and injured parties can seek compensation from the road maintenance department. In the case of vehicle damage, a traffic police accident report must first be issued, after which the relevant responsible department will assume liability for compensation based on the report. Vehicle owners can claim compensation for repair costs, and if the driver is injured, they can also seek compensation under the "Tort Liability Law." More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: In general insurance terms, tires are not covered for separate claims, and the greatest potential threat from road potholes to vehicles is tire blowouts. Some vehicle owners may have the awareness to seek rights protection, but because the loss from a single tire blowout is minor and the claims process is complex, the effort and time required to obtain minimal compensation may not seem worthwhile. Note 2: If there are potholes or pits on the road that have not been repaired in time and lack construction warnings, resulting in vehicle damage, as long as the vehicle owner weighs the potential time and costs involved in the claims process, the approach to rights protection is certain to receive legal support.

Is it necessary to repair a slightly deformed wheel hub?

It is necessary to repair a slightly deformed wheel hub. The repair methods are as follows: 1. First, pad the dented area with a sponge or cloth, then use a hammer to forcefully flatten the dented part; 2. After smoothing out the uneven areas, sand the inside of the wheel hub with sandpaper; 3. Since the original wheel hub is made of aluminum alloy with its natural color, which cannot be replicated by any paint, the entire hub must be repainted. Use an automotive spray paint that closely matches the original color of the wheel hub to repaint the entire inside, then let the paint dry. The wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle, also known as the rim or steel wheel. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the wheel hub may vary, generally categorized into painting and plating.

What Causes Oxidation White Spots on Wheel Hubs?

The causes of oxidation white spots on wheel hubs are: 1. Residual cleaning agents left on the wheel hubs during regular car washing that are not thoroughly cleaned, leading to oxidation and white spots over time; 2. Scratches or abrasions on the wheel hub surface that damage the protective clear coat, exposing the metal, which then reacts chemically with oxygen in the air, causing oxidation. Methods to remove oxidation white spots on wheel hubs include: 1. Thoroughly clean the wheel hub surface, then spray a specialized cleaning agent onto the oxidized layer; 2. Wait for a period of time, use a toothbrush to clean the gaps, and a sponge to scrub the surface; 3. Dry the wheel hub with a clean towel, then apply wax to protect the alloy surface. A wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from within and is centrally mounted on the axle.

Why is the rear tire wear more severe than the front tires on the Outlander?

The reason for more severe rear tire wear than the front tires on the Outlander is excessive rear wheel camber deviation, which can be corrected through precise 4-wheel alignment. Some rear independent suspension models don't come with factory-installed eccentric bolts for adjusting camber angle, so they need to be purchased separately when performing 4-wheel alignment. Tires are typically mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. Taking the Outlander 2020 2.0L 2WD Touring 5-seater as an example, its body dimensions are 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm, and it features a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body structure.

Why does the car central locking remote not respond when pressed?

The reasons why the car central locking remote does not respond when pressed are: 1. The battery in the key is dead, and replacing the battery will solve the issue; 2. There is a fault in the key's circuit chip or the car's receiver. Method for replacing the car remote control battery: 1. Purchase a battery, ensuring the voltage and model are the same; 2. After taking out the car key, pull out the mechanical key; 3. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to pry open the car key; 4. Remove the old battery, install the new battery, and then reassemble the key. The remote key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing you to unlock and lock the doors from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. Its advantages include the convenience of unlocking and locking from a distance without needing to locate the keyhole, regardless of day or night, eliminating the cumbersome process of inserting a key to open the door.

How to Solve the Jerking Issue When Starting with Audi A6L's CVT Transmission?

Audi A6L's CVT transmission jerking issue when starting can be resolved by promptly cleaning the throttle body to ensure its smooth operation. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. Taking the Audi A6L 2021 40TFSI Luxury Elegance model as an example, its dimensions are 5038mm in length, 1886mm in width, and 1475mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3024mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 140kw and a maximum torque of 320nm. The maximum power speed ranges from 4200 to 6000rpm, and it is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
