Automotive trunk seals, also known as liquid sealing adhesives, serve to create a seal between mating surfaces. Below is a classification of automotive sealing adhesive strips: 1. Vulcanized Rubber Sealing Strips: Typically made of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). These offer excellent comprehensive performance, outstanding ozone resistance, superior weather resistance, good high and low-temperature performance, remarkable chemical resistance, compatibility with various polar solvents, and low relative density. The drawback is significant expansion in general mineral oils and lubricating oils, and they are usually dark-colored products. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +150°C. Due to their wide applicability and excellent comprehensive performance, they are recognized by domestic and international industry enterprises. 2. Silicone Rubber Sealing Strips: Feature outstanding high and low-temperature resistance, ozone resistance, and weather resistance; excellent hydrophobicity and appropriate breathability; unparalleled insulation properties; meet food-grade hygiene requirements and can be produced in various colors. The downside is the poorest mechanical strength among rubber materials and poor oil resistance. Operating temperature range: -100°C to +300°C. Suitable for high-temperature, cold, and intense UV exposure regions, as well as mid-to-high-rise buildings. 3. Chloroprene Rubber (CR) Sealing Strips: Compared to other specialty rubbers, they may lag in certain individual properties but offer balanced overall performance. They provide excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, heat aging resistance, oil and solvent resistance, good chemical resistance, and outstanding flame resistance, along with good adhesion. However, they have poor storage stability, may harden over time, and exhibit poor cold resistance.

Will a Damaged Turbocharger Affect Fuel Consumption?

Turbocharger damage can indeed affect fuel consumption. When a turbocharger is damaged, it may result in engine power loss, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, significantly reduced vehicle power, and increased fuel consumption. Below are related details: 1. Symptoms of turbocharger damage: Symptoms include blue or white smoke from the exhaust pipe, increased oil consumption, unstable turbo pressure, unusual noises, high water temperature, and unstable engine speed. 2. Causes of turbocharger damage: Turbocharger damage is generally related to temperature and cooling issues, such as the use of inferior engine oil, poor-quality air filters, substandard oil filters, and delayed engine shutdown after prolonged aggressive driving.

What is a Rear Parking Radar?

Rear parking radar refers to the parking radar installed at the rear of a vehicle. If a car is equipped with a rear parking radar, the radar detectors can be seen on the rear bumper. The parking radar is a very useful device that detects the distance to obstacles behind the vehicle when reversing. If the distance is too close, it will emit a warning sound to alert the driver. The working principle of the parking radar is very simple: the radar probe emits sound waves, which are reflected back when encountering obstacles. The radar probe can calculate the distance between the obstacle and the rear of the car based on the time it takes for the sound waves to be reflected back.

Which sections of urban roads are prohibited from overtaking when driving a motor vehicle?

When driving a motor vehicle through sections of urban roads with heavy traffic flow, overtaking is not allowed. The specific situations where overtaking is prohibited are as follows: 1. When the vehicle ahead is making a left turn, turning around, or overtaking. 2. When there is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle. 3. When the vehicle ahead is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency tasks, overtaking is not allowed, and the right of way should be yielded to ensure their emergency passage. 4. When passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections of urban roads with heavy traffic flow where overtaking conditions are not met.

How to Unscrew the Engine Oil Cap of a Car?

You can use pliers or go to a repair shop to use specialized tools to open it. Below is more information about the car engine oil cap: 1. Reasons: Due to negative pressure and being screwed too tightly, as air cannot enter under negative pressure, leading to excessive suction, making it difficult to unscrew the oil cap. Additionally, the oil cap might be too tight, and you can wait until the car has cooled down before opening it. The second scenario where it cannot be opened by hand may require tools like pliers. 2. Function: It isolates the engine oil from the air, covers and seals the cylinder head, keeps the oil inside, and prevents contaminants such as dirt and moisture from entering.

Is It Harmful If the Car Gets Moldy?

It is necessary to conduct a thorough cleaning and ensure the normal functioning of car components. Here are the details: 1. Causes of mold: Mold in the car is caused by prolonged lack of ventilation or excessively humid environments, leading to the growth of mold. The interior parts of the car, such as seats, carpets, and door panels, are more prone to mold. 2. Cleaning: When mold appears on the interior components, you can first wipe it off or use a vacuum cleaner for initial surface cleaning, then clean with a specialized car interior cleaner. For genuine leather interiors, it is best to use neutral or alkaline cleaners to avoid damaging the leather. After cleaning, let it dry naturally, or you can turn on the car's heating mode to dry it.
