Radiator leakage is a serious issue. The car radiator is a crucial component, and if there's a problem with the radiator, the vehicle will be significantly affected. The radiator must be replaced if it's leaking: Radiator leakage is usually caused by cracks in the radiator or ruptured pipes, which are relatively severe faults. If radiator leakage is not addressed promptly, it can lead to complete leakage of the coolant, triggering a high-temperature warning in the car and severely affecting the vehicle's operation. Do not continue driving: After radiator leakage, the vehicle is prone to overheating. If the temperature gets too high, it can cause engine block damage or cylinder scoring issues.

What is the optimal tire pressure?

Tire pressure between 2.4 and 2.5 bar is most suitable. Here are specific details about tire pressure: 1. Reinforced tire pressure: The reinforced tire pressure ranges from 2.8 to 2.9 bar, with the maximum tire pressure not exceeding 3.5 bar. 2. Overview of tire pressure: Tire pressure, also known as air pressure, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The load capacity of a vehicle depends on the tire pressure, which plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. 3. Maintaining normal tire pressure is important: Excessive tire pressure reduces the friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance, and can also cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. Insufficient tire pressure increases the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption, heavier steering wheel operation, and deviation, all of which are factors that adversely affect driving safety.

What Causes the D Gear Not to Move While the R Gear Functions Normally?

When the D gear does not move while the R gear functions normally, it is typically due to issues with the forward gear or a malfunction in the solenoid valve that controls the forward gear signal. Below are the possible causes: 1. Forward Gear Teeth Damage: This occurs when two metal gears collide harshly, accelerating wear on the gear teeth. Solution: A major transmission overhaul is required. 2. Faulty Forward Gear Signal Solenoid Valve: You may notice difficulty in starting the car. Even when pressing the accelerator, there is no noticeable increase in speed. Solution: Visit a professional repair shop promptly for inspection and to add transmission fluid, ensuring better lubrication for the transmission gears.

Is it necessary to repair a small scratch on the wheel hub?

Whether to repair a scratch on the wheel hub depends on the extent of the damage. Here are specific details about the degree of wheel hub damage: 1. No extension to the inner side of the wheel hub: Carefully check if the scratch extends to the inner side of the wheel hub. If it does not, it means you only need to use paint thinner to gently wipe around the scratch for simple repair and remove dirt. 2. Deep scratch on the wheel hub: Dirt near the scratch is difficult to clean. 3. Repairing the scratch: Before repairing the wheel hub scratch, use tape to cover the undamaged areas to avoid accidentally painting unrelated parts. After trimming the brush tip, apply touch-up paint and let it dry slightly, which will cause it to shrink. After painting, let it dry completely. Once dry, use waterproof paper soaked in soapy water to smooth the surface. After wiping with waterproof paper, use a compound to restore shine, and then apply wax.

How much longer can a 2004 car be driven?

Currently, as long as it is a non-commercial private vehicle, it can continue to be driven indefinitely until it reaches 600,000 kilometers in mileage, with no time restrictions. Therefore, a 2004 car can still be driven as long as it remains functional and has not exceeded the mileage limit. According to Article 5 of the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," the service life for various types of motor vehicles is as follows: 1. Taxi passenger vehicles: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a service life of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years; rental passenger vehicles have a service life of 15 years. 2. Training passenger vehicles: Small training passenger vehicles have a service life of 10 years, medium-sized training passenger vehicles 12 years, and large training passenger vehicles 15 years. 3. Other vehicle types: Other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles have a service life of 10 years, while large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a service life of 15 years.

What is the difference between No. 0 gasoline and No. 92 gasoline?

No. 0 is diesel, not gasoline. Gasoline has a higher octane rating and is classified into No. 89, No. 92, and No. 95 based on the octane level. There is no No. 0 gasoline. Diesel is a light petroleum product and a complex hydrocarbon mixture, serving as fuel for diesel engines. It is mainly composed of diesel fractions produced through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking. Below are the characteristics of diesel: 1. Diesel has a higher carbon content compared to gasoline: It also has a higher density, which means that the same mass of diesel will burn longer, in other words, diesel is more "fuel-efficient" than gasoline; 2. Diesel has a lower auto-ignition point: Therefore, diesel engines use compression ignition, eliminating the need for spark plugs to ignite. By compressing air to raise the temperature to the diesel's ignition point and then injecting diesel, it can combust on its own; 3. Diesel is less volatile: It offers greater power and excellent fuel economy performance.

Is it mandatory to purchase comprehensive insurance for the first year when buying a new car?

It is not mandatory to purchase comprehensive insurance for the first year when buying a new car. There are no regulations requiring comprehensive insurance; the only compulsory purchase is compulsory traffic insurance and the payment of vehicle and vessel tax.

Third-Party Liability Insurance: Covers losses due to third-party injuries or deaths caused by the owner, a must-have for protection. 3. No-Deductible Insurance: An add-on that transfers the owner's liability to the insurance company, reducing losses; recommended if both Vehicle Damage and Third-Party Liability insurances are purchased. 4. Theft and Robbery Insurance: Covers damages from vehicle theft or robbery, recommended for owners without garages. 5. Passenger Liability Insurance: Covers losses of drivers and passengers due to accidents, usually charged per seat; recommended for new drivers or family vehicles. 6.
