Insurance companies will compensate for vehicles flooded by natural disasters. Here are the details: 1. Compensation: If you have purchased waterlogging insurance, the repair costs for the engine after flooding will be covered. 2. Coverage: Compensation is provided, but not for all damages. According to the relevant provisions of the national motor vehicle insurance clauses, vehicle damage caused by natural disasters falls under the scope of commercial auto insurance's vehicle damage insurance. The compensation only includes rescue costs, cleaning costs, electrical losses, and interior part losses. The most critical part of the car, the engine, is not included and will not be compensated. Repairs for the engine must be paid out of pocket. Only if you have purchased waterlogging insurance will the repair costs for the engine after flooding be covered. Damage to the engine caused by a second start will not be compensated by the insurance company.

Last year during the heavy rainstorm, my neighbor's car got flooded. Luckily, he had purchased auto damage insurance. After the auto insurance reform, the auto damage insurance now directly covers water-related damage. As long as the water damage is caused by natural disasters like typhoons or floods, the insurance company will generally compensate. Remember to call 110 and the insurance company immediately to report the incident, and take photos of the flooded car on the spot. But there's one big mistake you must avoid: never attempt to restart the engine after it stalls, or the insurance won't cover engine damage. When filing a claim, bring documents like the insurance policy and driver's license. The loss assessor will determine the compensation based on the extent of water damage.

Is the paint spraying process noisy?

Paint spraying itself is not very noisy. The primary noise comes from the air compressor (also known as the air pump), which produces sound similar to a small diesel generator. Paint spraying method: First is the paint mixing process, where color matching must be carefully checked. Protective measures are crucial - any areas not being painted must be covered with newspaper or other masking materials. During spraying, attention should be paid to the spray gun pressure and working environment. Finally comes the baking time. Complete painting sequence: The standard painting procedure typically involves: 1) Metalwork (hammering and leveling the metal body), 2) Sanding down the original paint and base layers on the target area to create a surface two paint layers lower than standard, 3) Applying filler putty (spreading body filler into depressions and leveling to create a primer base), 4) Paint mixing and spraying, 5) Baking in the paint booth, followed by 6) Air drying for about ten hours until completion.

What are the differences between AMG Mountain Grey and Electrolight Metallic Grey?

The difference between AMG Mountain Grey and Electrolight Metallic Grey is that Mountain Grey has a matte finish, while Electrolight Metallic Grey has a glossy finish. Below is an extended introduction: Brand Introduction: The history of Mercedes-AMG began in 1967. Two Germans, Aufrecht and Melcher, started their modification business in the small town of Grosaspach, with AMG derived from the initials of their names. Mr. Aufrecht had previously worked in engine testing at Daimler-Benz and was highly knowledgeable about Mercedes' powertrain systems. In 1971, at the Belgian SPA 24-hour endurance race, AMG secured second place overall with a 300SEL-6.9-AMG race car, which brought the company into the limelight. In 1978, the flagship sports car with the code R107 was developed by AMG into a touring car for the European Touring Car Championship. Although it did not reach the highest podium, it still performed at a leading level. In 1980, the 450SLC won its first championship at the Nürburgring, becoming a milestone in AMG's racing history.

What needs to be replaced for a new car at 100,000 kilometers?

Replace engine oil, oil filter, air conditioning filter, etc. Replacing the oil filter: Replace the oil filter and fuel filter. This can prevent impurities from mixing into the engine during use and avoid oil passage blockages. Generally, semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 5,000-8,000 kilometers, synthetic oil every 8,000-10,000 kilometers, and mineral oil should not exceed 5,000 kilometers. Function of the air conditioning filter: It ensures the air filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption. It prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also has strong antibacterial and deodorizing properties.

Why is the air conditioning in the Trumpchi GS4 not cooling?

If the air conditioning in the Trumpchi GS4 is not cooling or blowing cold air, first check whether the A/C button has been pressed to activate the cooling system. Next, verify if the fan speed and temperature settings are at their minimum values. If these issues are not the cause, the problem might be due to the following reasons: 1. Refrigerant: Insufficient refrigerant. 2. Heat dissipation: The radiator and condenser are crucial components for heat dissipation in the vehicle. If they are excessively dirty, it can lead to poor heat dissipation, which not only causes the engine to overheat but also directly affects the cooling efficiency of the air conditioning. 3. Blower motor malfunction or damage: The blower motor is the power source for the air conditioning's airflow. If there is an issue, the air conditioning may not blow air. To check if the blower motor is damaged, owners can turn on the air conditioning at maximum fan speed and listen to the blower motor's location in the vehicle to determine if it is functioning or if there are any obstructions inside. 4. Air conditioning filter: The air conditioning filter's role is to prevent dust from entering the cabin. Over time, the filter can accumulate dirt, develop odors, or even become clogged. When the filter is blocked with dust and debris, it severely impacts the airflow of the air conditioning. This can result in high fan speed settings producing loud noises but delivering very little actual airflow, significantly reducing the cooling effect.

What are the techniques for B2 reverse parking and garage shifting?

B2 reverse parking techniques are as follows: 1. Clutch: Press the clutch pedal with the ball of your foot, not the arch, then use your heel as a pivot to control the clutch engagement. Generally, when the clutch is fully depressed, the position of your heel is not convenient as a pivot. In this case, you can move your entire foot back to find a suitable pivot point. 2. Alignment: Observe the distance between the two corners of the rear of the car and the two rear poles of the garage. Steer towards the side that is farther away, usually turning the steering wheel half a turn, and quickly straighten the wheel once aligned. 3. Head position: It's best to turn your head to the middle of the car. Ensure that each time you look back, your head is in the same position to accurately identify any errors. 4. Speed: This is crucial—the slower, the better. You should start to get the hang of it after about three days. Especially when turning the steering wheel, the clutch may move with it, so always be mindful of pressing the clutch.
