Yes, it will damage the car paint. Gasoline is corrosive and can harm the car paint. Clean it promptly to prevent color discrepancies. Here are methods to protect car paint: Reduce sun exposure: Sun exposure significantly affects car paint; the harsher the sunlight, the greater the damage. Regularly dust the car: Cars often accumulate dust, which may seem harmless but can dull the paint's shine over time. Develop a habit of dusting the car regularly to minimize dust impact. Regular waxing: The primary purpose is to inhibit oxidation from external harmful elements, resist UV rays, and enhance the paint's brightness. Wash the car carefully: After rain or snow, wash the car promptly to prevent corrosion from harmful substances like acid rain.

How to Determine Engine Water Pump Failure?

Methods to determine engine water pump failure: 1. Unstable engine idle speed; 2. Water leakage near the water pump area of the engine; 3. Noise from the engine area; 4. Increased engine coolant temperature that does not drop. Working principle of the engine water pump: The engine drives the water pump bearing and impeller through the pulley, causing the coolant to be thrown by the impeller towards the edge of the water pump housing, then flowing out through the water outlet or hose. The automotive water pump consists of the water pump housing, connecting plate or pulley, water pump shaft and bearing or integrated bearing, water pump impeller, and water seal components, and is a major part of the vehicle.

Why does the car display much more mileage than the actual distance traveled?

The inaccurate odometer reading is likely due to an issue with the odometer sensor. Possible causes include internal sensor failure, excessive distance between the sensor and the transmission's induction coil, or the need for adjustment of the vehicle's onboard computer. Since this varies by car model, it's recommended to contact a 4S dealership for inspection. Check the new car's paintwork: Visually inspect the vehicle's paint for scratches and wear. Observe under ample sunlight to check for color discrepancies. Open and adjust doors at various angles to examine sheet metal flatness as light reflects differently. If possible, use a paint thickness gauge for precise measurement. Check the new car's bodywork quality: Inspect uniformity of panel gaps for components like hood, doors, fuel cap, taillights, and headlights. Irregular gaps may indicate replacement parts. Also examine door/window seals for damage to prevent water leakage during rain.
