During a minor collision between two vehicles, it is not always the case that both will show scratches simultaneously. Below are the reasons why scratches may not appear on both vehicles in a minor collision: 1. In the case of a very light scrape, the vehicle may not show any scratches, or only very superficial ones that are hard to notice. 2. If the vehicle's paint is durable or the car has a protective film, minor contact may not leave any scratches. 3. If the driving speed is high, the inertia and gravitational acceleration during the collision can make the scratches more noticeable. Below are methods to assess the severity of a scrape: 1. Vehicle scrapes can be categorized into three levels: minor scrapes, moderate scrapes, and deep scrapes. 2. A minor scrape refers to superficial scratches, a moderate scrape means the damage has not reached the primer layer, and a deep scrape indicates that the primer layer has been penetrated. 3. For any level of scrape, it is advisable to visit a professional 4S shop and consult relevant staff for proper handling.

What Causes Oil Leakage from the Valve Cover Gasket?

Oil leakage from the valve cover gasket may be caused by corrosion and aging of the seal. The leaked oil flows into the spark plug, which is why there is oil in the spark plug as well. The solution is to replace it with a new gasket. Continuing to use the aged gasket may lead to major malfunctions. The valve cover gasket is primarily used to seal and prevent oil leakage. The material of the valve cover gasket is mostly rubber, which can harden and age over time, resulting in oil leakage. In the structure of an automobile engine, the end of the valve is connected to the camshaft via a tappet or pushrod, and the camshaft controls the movement of the valve. In modern engines, the camshaft is often positioned at the top of the cylinder head, so the valve chamber is also the camshaft chamber. Above the valve chamber is the camshaft cover, which, together with the cylinder head, forms a nearly enclosed cavity. There are also oil return passages, oil supply passages, and other oil circuits connecting to other chambers.

What are the reasons why the BYD S7 won't start?

Reasons why the BYD S7 won't start: 1. The battery is dead, possibly due to prolonged headlight use or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. The solution is to replace the battery immediately. 2. Check the vehicle's spark plugs. The proper functioning of the spark plugs is crucial for the car's performance and efficiency. The solution is to unscrew the spark plugs and clean them. 3. Incorrect gear position. For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P or N position to start. If it's in R or D, the car won't start. Some manual transmission cars also won't start if the clutch isn't depressed. 4. Fuel quality issues. Owners should use standard gasoline. When refueling outside, a gauze can be used to cover the fuel nozzle to filter impurities. 5. Excessive carbon buildup in the car can also prevent it from starting. The solution is to frequently drive at high speeds to reduce carbon buildup.

What does AC in the car's center console mean?

The AC in the car's center console is the switch for the car air conditioning cooling system. Only when this button is pressed will the car air conditioning compressor start working, blowing cold air from the vents to lower the temperature inside the car. In summer, when using the air conditioning, the AC button should be turned on, which activates the compressor to blow cold air. In winter, when using the car's heating system, the AC light being on does not help with heating and may cause unnecessary power loss due to the compressor's operation. The car AC switch is essentially the compressor switch for the car air conditioning, also known as the cooling switch. The car air conditioning system includes not only the compressor but also components like the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. However, the compressor is one of the main components in the refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and transporting the refrigerant vapor.

Can You Still Drive When the Airbag Warning Light Is On?

Can You Still Drive When the Airbag Warning Light Is On? If the airbag warning light comes on while driving, do not panic. You can continue to drive the vehicle steadily to the nearest 4S shop or repair shop for inspection and timely repair to eliminate potential safety hazards and avoid greater risks. The airbag mainly consists of sensors, a microprocessor, an electronic control unit, an airbag cover and support ring, the airbag itself, and an airbag module. The electronic airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, the airbag can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%.

What Causes High Pressure in Car Air Conditioning?

High pressure in car air conditioning may be caused by incomplete evacuation during maintenance, leading to air mixing into the system and increasing the condensation pressure. Other causes include the use of inferior refrigerant, the condenser's electric fan not opening properly or having insufficient airflow, the condenser being blocked by foreign objects and unable to dissipate heat normally, or slight blockage of the expansion valve. To better diagnose high pressure in car air conditioning, it's also necessary to check the low pressure. If the high pressure reading is too high and the low pressure reading is too low, there are two possible causes: first, the expansion valve may be blocked due to the failure of the receiver-drier, allowing contaminants to enter and clog the valve; second, the power element may have failed, often because the temperature-sensing bulb has lost its charge, keeping the valve in a constantly closed state. The solution is to replace the expansion valve and the receiver-drier.
