Rain will not cause water to enter the engine. The engine's air intake goes through the air filter, which is located in the engine compartment and is covered by the hood, so water cannot get in. Unless the hood is left open or the air filter is removed during rain. If water enters the engine, it can easily cause the engine to stall. If the engine does not stop running, water may enter the spark plugs, leading to engine stalling. Restarting the engine in such a condition can cause the engine valves to be damaged, and in severe cases, the engine may be completely ruined. Additional information: 1. Water ingress insurance: Also known as engine special loss insurance, it is a derivative of vehicle damage insurance. This insurance is an additional coverage that car owners can purchase specifically for the engine. It mainly provides compensation for engine damage caused by driving through waterlogged roads or submersion. 2. Applicable scenarios: When the insured vehicle is submerged up to the exhaust pipe or intake pipe due to heavy rain or flooding, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or uses inertia to start it; or when the vehicle is started without necessary repairs after being exposed to heavy rain or flooding.

What are the steps for replacing spark plugs?

Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, and then secure the cover. Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended at 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the user manual. Refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

What are the precautions for adding coolant?

Here are the precautions for adding coolant: 1. Do not mix different types of antifreeze: Mixing antifreeze can easily cause chemical reactions, producing sediment or bubbles, which reduces its effectiveness. Additionally, leftover antifreeze should be labeled with its name on the container to avoid confusion later. 2. Avoid running the engine without sufficient coolant: During high-temperature weather, the coolant in the radiator evaporates more quickly. Always check the coolant level and monitor the coolant temperature gauge. If the radiator is not completely filled, the internal circulation of the coolant may be compromised, leading to an increase in water temperature and causing the engine to "overheat."
