There are several reasons why a car's air conditioning cannot blow hot air: 1. Clogged heater core: The heater core is a simplified version of the engine radiator, with multiple small cooling pipes inside. Like the radiator, it is prone to clogging. When the coolant flowing through the heater core gets blocked internally, it slows down the airflow, reduces the flow rate, and results in insufficient heat, leading to poor heating performance. 2. Insufficient coolant in the cooling system. 3. During parking and driving, the car's air conditioning intake sucks in a large amount of dust and dirt, which then adheres to the evaporator. These deposits, under the high-temperature and high-humidity conditions of the evaporator, breed a large number of fungi, causing dizziness and nausea for passengers and posing health risks. Additionally, they affect the cooling and heating performance of the car's air conditioning.

What happens if you suddenly switch from 95 to 92 octane gasoline?

95 suddenly switching to 92 octane gasoline can cause certain damage to the car's engine, and in severe cases, may lead to engine failure. 95 octane gasoline has higher anti-knock properties than 92 octane but lower than 97 octane. Gasoline can be categorized into different types based on its source: straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracked gasoline, thermal cracked gasoline, reformed gasoline, coker gasoline, alkylate gasoline, isomerate gasoline, aromatized gasoline, etherified gasoline, and polymerized gasoline. The working principle of the gasoline supply system is as follows: the fuel pump draws diesel from the fuel tank, filters out impurities through the filter, and then enters the low-pressure oil chamber of the injection pump. After increasing the fuel pressure, it is delivered to the injector through the high-pressure fuel pipe. The injector sprays the fuel into the combustion chamber in a mist form, forming a mixture that burns and performs work, and then the exhaust gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust system.

Do I have to repair my car at a designated repair shop when filing an insurance claim?

When filing an insurance claim for vehicle damage, you can choose the repair location independently and are not required to use the repair shop designated by the insurance company. Filing a claim: After an accident occurs, preserve the accident scene and immediately report the incident to your vehicle's insurance company. If the third-party damage involves road facilities or another vehicle, you must also report the incident to the traffic police. On-site handling: Insurance company personnel will arrive at the scene and issue a "Survey Report," while the traffic police will arrive and issue an "Accident Determination Certificate." Third-party repairs: If the third party is a non-motor vehicle, it is best to request that the insurance company personnel, during on-site handling, directly agree on a mutually recognized damage assessment price among the three parties (the third party, the insurance company, and the vehicle owner). If the damage cannot be assessed on the spot, request that the insurance company provide a damage assessment price during or after the third-party damage assessment process.
