New car inspection
When buying a new car or picking up a car, we only need a flashlight. It can help us to find out more easily the oil leakage in the engine compartment, the installation defects of the vehicle and the damage of the interior. It is definitely the "good product" for selecting a car or picking up a car.
● Changing the car and picking up the car. How to pick a qualified new car?
Although the individual differences in automotive products are not large, we will put an end to the hidden dangers of big problems before buying, and will be more worry-free after buying a car. Let me talk about my car inspection experience.
New car inspection
Xiaobian bought a compact car of the second-line brand, so he did not expect much from its quality and workmanship. However, in order to save trouble in the future, it was carefully checked during the car pick-up to prevent major problems. Detecting a car is like looking at a beautiful woman. First of all, you must start with the appearance, check if the body has a depression and whether the paint surface has scratches. The body recess can be identified by viewing the scene reflected on the body from the side. The defects of the car paint can only be checked after careful observation after washing the car.

Most low-end self-owned brands have problems with uneven installation clearance. This problem is particularly prominent on the bonnet and trunk lid. Since the installation gap is uneven, it can be adjusted, so you don't have to worry too much about this. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the problem of uneven gaps, you can ask the sales to take you to another car. Xiaobian this car has such a problem. When buying a car, there is only one white car in the store, and another buyer suspects that the car has an uneven installation interval and refuses to purchase. I waited for the buyer to leave the car and immediately bought the car, thus avoiding waiting for the next batch of cars to go to the store (the next batch of cars will wait for 1 week before arriving at the store).

In general, the data line of the test drive dashboard will be pre-empted first, so that the mileage of the odometer will not increase because of the vehicle. It is not reliable to judge the actual mileage of the vehicle through the data on the dashboard. We can basically understand the mileage of the vehicle by observing the condition of the tire. If the tires are not worn away, the vehicle will not travel more than 100 kilometers. For the owners who are eager for 0 mileage vehicles, Xiao Bian has the opinion that when the vehicle is produced, the completed vehicle will undergo a series of tests, so 0 mileage is impossible. In addition, there is a situation of shunting between the sales stores, so it is normal to have a few tens of kilometers on the vehicle odometer.
Some new tire products have no such thing as tires, and they are replaced by circular ones. After a certain mileage, these marks will disappear. Through these details, we know whether the mileage on the new car's odometer matches the actual mileage.
The tail box tool generally includes a spare tire, a triangular reflector, and a tool for replacing the spare tire. Everyone should pay attention to whether the spare tire is brand new, and whether the tool and the tire bolt correspond.
In general, the engine compartment of the new car will be dirty, and the car will be placed for a long time. There will be traces in the place where the oil leaks. So if we don't find obvious traces of leakage, the general problem is not big. Start the engine and listen to the engine sound is normal, look at the engine for abnormal jitter (shake is very serious). If there is no such problem, then look at the liquid level of various oil storage tanks.
The best way to check the chassis is to drive through the speed bump or the pavement to see if there is a strange noise or vibration in the chassis. If the above problem occurs, it is recommended to change a car, because the chassis problem is not solved.
The lighting inspection generally requires two people to cooperate. One person turns on the headlights and fog lights in the car, hangs the reverse gear, and removes the brakes; the other person observes whether the vehicle lights are normally lit outside the car. Nowadays, new cars are equipped with LED lamps, so we have to pay attention to whether each LED lamp is normally lit.
For manual transmission models, we can try to hang into different gears to see if the gearbox gear is smooth. For the automatic transmission model, we can perform a linear acceleration test to see if there is any setback and abnormal noise when the transmission is upshifted.
When checking a new car, you should turn on the sound and air conditioning of the new car. See if the sound is normal and there are no speakers. Look at the air conditioning refrigeration is normal, the minimum temperature of the air outlet when the air conditioner is cooled can reach below 10 °C. The air conditioner of the new car may have insufficient cooling or odor, and the owner needs to pay more attention.
We want to test whether the window lift buttons on each door panel work properly and see if the buttons are secure. The driver of the car bought by Xiaobian has a loose window (normal function) on the door of the car, which is the result of not carefully checking the car.
