If the car is fine, there's no need to worry. Here are the relevant details: Impact resistance: During the design phase, the car's chassis is built with a certain level of impact resistance. Drive the car to a repair shop and have the chassis thoroughly inspected. If the pipes are undamaged and only the steel plate has minor scratches, applying some paint to prevent rust will suffice. Chassis impact: As long as the speed during the impact was low and the scraping sound wasn't loud, the issue is generally minor and unlikely to cause significant problems. However, if there was a loud "bang," it might have dented or even punctured the oil pan. The oil pan holds the engine oil, and if all the oil leaks out, the engine, lacking lubrication, could suffer from cylinder scuffing. Symptoms of cylinder scuffing include: the vehicle struggling to move and difficulty accelerating; the engine's water temperature rising, unstable operation speed, accompanied by signs of stalling.

How to Purchase Commercial Insurance for a Total Loss Vehicle After Repair?

Total loss vehicles cannot purchase commercial insurance again. A total loss vehicle refers to an insured vehicle that has been completely destroyed or severely damaged, losing its repair value. Additional information: The following are common types of total loss vehicles: 1. Vehicles that have suffered severe collisions, damaging the engine compartment and the passenger compartment; 2. Vehicles where the body has been submerged in water exceeding half of the body height, or where water has entered the passenger compartment; 3. Vehicles where the body has been burned over 60% of the surface area (burned area) and still pose safety hazards after repair. 4. Total loss of a vehicle is divided into two situations: one is actual total loss, meaning the vehicle is completely destroyed and cannot be repaired; the other is constructive total loss, meaning the vehicle can still be repaired, but the repair cost reaches or exceeds the actual value of the vehicle, making repair worthless and unnecessary, thus it can be treated as a total loss.

How Much Fuel Should You Add to Your Car Each Time?

It is generally advisable to fill your car's tank to about 80% capacity. Below are methods to assess fuel quality: Check the Octane Rating: The octane rating of gasoline indicates its resistance to knocking. The appropriate octane rating should be chosen based on your engine's compression ratio. Mid-range cars with a compression ratio between 8.5 and 9.5 typically require 93-octane gasoline, while cars with a compression ratio above 9.5 should use 97-octane gasoline. Smell the Gasoline: Sulfur content is a key indicator of fuel quality. Strong-smelling gasoline is undesirable as it indicates high sulfur content. Observe the Color: Color is one of the most obvious indicators of fuel quality. Dark-colored gasoline is poor, but extremely light color isn't necessarily better. High-quality gasoline usually appears light yellow and is transparent or semi-transparent.

Which fuse is for the Haima Family wiper?

Haima Family wiper fuse is located inside the fuse box in the engine compartment. The following is a detailed introduction to the fuse: 1. Function: The fuse box is an overcurrent protection switch, mainly used to control the circuit operation. There are many circuits in a car, and the fuse serves to protect the circuits. When the circuit temperature is too high or the current is too large, the fuse can blow to protect the circuit. 2. Impact of blowing: There are many fuses and relays in the car fuse box. When a fuse blows, certain functions of the car will be affected. After the fuse blows, it needs to be replaced with a new one. 3. Replacement precautions: When replacing a fuse, use a special clip to remove the fuse. The fuse box in the engine compartment is generally located near the battery, while the fuse box in the cabin is usually located in the main driver's position or the glove box of the co-driver.

Can You Continue Driving After the Coolant Warning?

You should not continue driving after the coolant warning. The warning light indicates that the coolant level is low and needs to be refilled. Insufficient coolant can affect the engine's heat dissipation, and continuing to drive may cause the engine to overheat, leading to internal component failures. The method for replacing coolant: 1. Drive the vehicle into the lift operation area and open the coolant expansion tank cap. 2. Raise the vehicle to a suitable working height, then unscrew the plastic drain plug on the engine radiator to drain the coolant. 3. After the coolant is completely drained, lower the vehicle and tighten the drain plug on the radiator. 4. Pour new coolant into the expansion tank until it is full, then start the vehicle. The coolant level will drop significantly; simply top it up as needed. 5. After turning off the vehicle, raise it again and check for any leaks around the drain plug.

How many liters of engine oil does the Geely Xingyue require?

Geely Xingyue requires 3.5 to 4 liters of engine oil. Below are the specific functions of engine oil: 1. Shock absorption and cushioning: When the pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, it suddenly increases the load on the piston, piston chips, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings. This load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, providing a cushioning effect against impact loads. 2. Rust and corrosion prevention: Lubricating oil adheres to the surface of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 3. Lubrication and wear reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear, an oil film must be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the relatively sliding surfaces, reducing wear. 4. Cooling: Engine oil carries heat back to the oil tank and dissipates it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine.
