The handbrake not holding is due to the presence of air in the brake fluid. Below is an introduction to the related content of brake shoes: 1. Brake Pads: Brake shoes, also known as brake pads, are consumable items. The wear of brake shoes means that during the use of the car, the brakes will gradually wear down the brake shoes. When the wear reaches its limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, it will reduce braking effectiveness and may even lead to brake failure, causing accidents. 2. Replacement: Some cars have a warning light on the dashboard when the brake shoes are worn, reminding the driver to replace the brake shoes promptly. Generally, new brake shoes are about 1.5 centimeters thick. If the brake shoes wear down to less than 5 millimeters, it is recommended to replace them.

How Does the Insurance Company Compensate After a Car is Scrapped?

To apply for a vehicle scrapping claim, the primary prerequisite is that the car owner has purchased the corresponding vehicle damage insurance; otherwise, they must bear all consequences themselves. The details regarding vehicle scrapping are as follows: 1. For vehicle damage caused by traffic accidents: Insurance companies generally adhere to the principle of "repair first." If the vehicle does not meet the scrapping standard, compensation will be made according to the terms stipulated in the insurance contract, with the insurance company paying the repair costs. However, if the vehicle damage has reached the scrapping standard—meaning the estimated repair costs are equal to or exceed the actual value of the vehicle—the insurance company will process the claim as a vehicle scrapping insurance case. 2. If only the car owner believes their vehicle is scrapped: They cannot apply for a scrapping claim, as this primarily depends on the assessment results from the evaluation department. For novice drivers, due to their lack of experience, traffic accidents are more likely to occur, and vehicle part repair costs are generally high. Minor accidents may result in partial body deformation, while severe accidents could lead to vehicle scrapping. In such cases, having purchased vehicle damage insurance can help the owner receive some compensation.

How to Determine if a Car Meets China 5 Emission Standards

China 5 and China 6 are abbreviations for automotive emission standards. The methods to check whether a car meets China 5 or China 6 standards are as follows: 1. Online inquiry: Search for 'Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website' online. After entering the website, there is a prominent 'New Vehicle Compliance' section. Enter the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the car in question and click the search button to find out the specific emission standard of the new car. The VIN is usually the chassis number or engine number, which is stated in the vehicle's accompanying documents. 2. Check the vehicle's certificate of conformity: When picking up the car, the dealer should provide the certificate of conformity for the vehicle. Normally, it will contain information related to 'emission standards,' usually noted in the form of a specific national standard number. 3. Check the environmental information list: Similar to the certificate of conformity, the environmental information list is included in the vehicle's pickup documents. In the first part of the vehicle information, there is a sub-item specifically listed as 'Emission Stage,' which will directly indicate whether it is China 5 or China 6.

What to Do When Half of the Car Key Breaks Inside

Here are the methods to remove the key: 1. When the key breaks inside the lock, borrow a hammer. Gently tap the lock seam with the hammer to try to return the key to its original position, then use the remaining half of the key to open it. 2. If the lock is a cross lock, prepare a small electric drill with the smallest drill bit. Drill a few holes around the lock to slightly enlarge the keyhole. Prepare a piece of wire, apply 502 glue on it, insert the wire, wait a few minutes for the glue to dry, then use the wire to pull out the key. 3. If the lock is a flat lock and the key breaks at the entrance of the keyhole, use a specialized single hook to reach inside the lock and hook out the broken key. If the key is not broken at the entrance, use a small wire to reach in, hook the key, and pull it out.
