I went to the bank the other day and parked my car in the parking space. When I left, because I was in such a hurry, I forgot that there was a blocking post on the side of the parking space. I turned directly to the left and listened to the bang, thinking: it’s broken, I hit it. Get out of the car and check it out. Sure enough, there was a hole on the side of the left rear door.
Although we have already passed the rookie stage, we have not encountered this kind of situation after so many years of driving. After calming down for a while, I remembered to contact the 4S store. The day before, the 4S store also contacted me and said that my car should be maintained and let me pass. Later, I added Wechat and sent them live photos and videos. After-sales brother said that there is no need to change accessories, direct sheet metal spray painting can, about 1200 yuan of the cost. Ask me if I have a voucher in the store. If I have a voucher, it is not worth applying for insurance, or it will affect the premium for the next year. I do have a voucher. I renewed it in the store before. Just drove the car to the store without applying for insurance.
In sheet metal
Prepare to spray paint.
The little brother is very nice and responsible. He has been sending me photos to tell me the specific maintenance progress. The vehicle is in sheet metal. The putty is ready to be sprayed. The door needs to be removed and painted.
The car was repaired on the third day, and I went to the store to pick up the car. The effect after painting was good. There was no chromatic aberration. I could not see that I had been hurt before. Satisfied!
Filter element with 50% discount for manufacturer’s service section
The younger brother reminded me that it was time for car maintenance, and it was all right to come and do it, so that I wouldn’t have to run again. Catch up with the manufacturers in the summer service festival activities, the replacement of air-conditioning filter element can be 50% discount, decisive start.
Gold bucket, 398 yuan per barrel
Black bucket, 258 yuan per barrel
For this black bucket of 5W20’s all-synthetic oil, the 0W20 oil of the gold bucket costs 398 yuan per barrel, which is still a little expensive for me. Since the golden bucket can not be exchanged, we have to choose the ratio of performance to price. According to the front desk sister, the viscosity of these two oils is the same at high temperature, but compared with gold buckets, the cold resistance of this black barrel is several degrees lower than that of gold buckets, and there is no problem this season.
Charging
Slow filling
My little card is a green card punk. Many friends asked me how the car was. Take this opportunity to introduce to you, the small card officially announced pure electricity to continue the 55KM, to my car situation to calculate. The total commute is about 40 kilometers. When you don’t turn on the air conditioner in spring, you can save 20% of the electricity when you go back and forth. Not in winter, if the warm wind is turned on, about 35 kilometers, the power will be exhausted and automatically switch to a mixed state. The worry-free place is that you don’t have to control it yourself. as long as the power battery pack has electricity, priority will be given to the use of electricity. It has nothing to do with the speed of the car, even if you run for 100KM/ hours, it is all electricity. (before, I heard a lot of people say that electricity is used below 40KM/H and oil is used above 40KM/H. Here I refute the rumor for Cass. I’m sure I haven’t actually turned on the plug-in card.)
Please ignore the dust in the cabin
If charging is not convenient, it doesn’t matter if you don’t charge it, you can think of it as a mixture of oil and electricity, refueling and you can run, number 92 is fine. If you don’t recharge, the fuel consumption is about 4-5 oil. The main purpose of this car is to save fuel, and if you run at high speed, it will not be lower than this value. Fast charging is not supported, slow charging piles are full in 3 hours. If you sign up for FAW Toyota APP, a message will be pushed to inform you that the charge has been completed. The disadvantage of this car is that the meter does not show mileage, but it can be checked in APP.
As a hint, the fully charged engine does not work and is very quiet. But once the air conditioner is turned on, the engine will start even though it is fully charged. Because you are used to its stillness, the noise of suddenly starting the engine will make you uncomfortable. After consulting the maintenance master, the air conditioner needs to be driven by the engine. Maintenance, than the gasoline version of more than a battery filter, dozens of pieces. There is no difference in other respects.
