6-month-old tires cannot yet be considered stock tires. Generally, tires with a production date over one year old are classified as stock tires. More knowledge about stock cars is as follows: 1. Introduction: The so-called 'stock car' does not have a clear legal definition, but in the automotive sales industry, there is indeed a term 'stock car', which generally refers to cars that have not been sold for more than three months after leaving the factory. 2. Reasons for Few Stock Cars: As a commodity, cars are huge in size, expensive in price, and have high storage costs, while occupying a large amount of dealers' funds. Therefore, dealers generally do not allow commercial vehicles to be stocked for a long time. However, due to various reasons, there are indeed many cars on the market that have been out of the factory for more than three months.

Can You Still Drive with a Transmission Oil Leak?

You cannot drive with a transmission oil leak, as continued driving may cause transmission damage. Solutions for transmission oil leaks include: 1. Replace aged or deformed oil seals; 2. Check the installation direction of the oil seals; 3. Replace or repair the shaft neck; 4. Adjust driving speed appropriately to ensure the transmission operates within an acceptable power range; 5. Perform regular maintenance on the transmission. Causes of transmission oil leaks are: 1. Corrosion or aging deformation of oil seals; 2. Detachment of oil seal springs or incorrect installation direction of oil seals; 3. Partial wear or indentation of the shaft neck; 4. Prolonged high-speed, high-power operation of the transmission; 5. Lack of regular maintenance on the transmission; 6. Shrinkage and hardening of sealing components, leading to loss of elasticity; 7. Damage to pipelines; 8. Excessive axial clearance, loose bearing seats, or bearings.

What Causes Engine Oil Leakage in a Car?

Reasons for engine oil leakage in a car: 1. Drain plug leakage, where oil seeps externally, lubricant leaks at the engine sump drain bolt, or the sealing performance of the engine sump gasket fails, causing lubricant leakage; 2. Incorrect oil level or inaccurate dipstick reading; 3. Blockage or component failure in the crankcase ventilation system, such as turbocharger failure. Solutions for engine oil leakage: 1. Replace aging gaskets, including the oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, front and rear crankshaft oil seals, camshaft oil seals, etc.; 2. When adding oil at the oil filler port, be careful and steady each time to avoid overflow and dripping; 3. When tightening the drain bolt after an oil change, avoid excessive force, especially with aluminum oil pans, as this can lead to poor sealing and oil leakage after a few instances; 4. If the oil filter housing seal is not tight and leaks oil, replace the sealing gasket.

Where is the Focus carbon canister located?

The Focus carbon canister is located on the side of the intake manifold. Below are specific symptoms of a damaged carbon canister in a vehicle: 1. Gasoline odor inside or around the vehicle: If the carbon canister is damaged, the adsorbed fuel vapors inside will directly escape into the air, causing a gasoline smell inside or around the vehicle. 2. Fluctuating idle speed: If the air inlet or filter of the carbon canister is clogged, the adsorbed fuel vapors inside will be difficult to be drawn into the cylinders by the intake manifold vacuum, resulting in fluctuating idle speed. 3. Difficulty starting the engine: Since the carbon canister purge valve remains open continuously, the intake manifold will be filled with fuel vapors. When starting the engine, the overly rich air-fuel mixture can cause difficulty starting or even stalling. 4. Fuel vapor leakage: If the carbon canister purge valve remains closed continuously, the adsorbed fuel vapors cannot be released, leading to increased pressure in the fuel tank and eventual leakage of fuel vapors through the fuel tank cap pressure relief valve.

What Causes the Transmission Noise in Sagitar?

Sagitar transmission may produce abnormal noises due to worn or damaged bearings, insufficient or excessively viscous lubricant causing uneven lubrication, or prolonged failure to replace automatic transmission fluid. Below are detailed reasons for transmission noise: 1. Worn or damaged bearings: When bearings wear out, the clearance increases, leading to reduced precision in component fit. Damaged bearings cannot operate normally, resulting in abnormal sounds and potentially damaging other transmission components, thereby escalating the fault. 2. Insufficient lubricant or excessively viscous lubricant causing uneven lubrication: In such cases, the corresponding lubricant (grease) must be replaced; otherwise, it will accelerate transmission wear and shorten its service life. 3. Prolonged failure to replace automatic transmission fluid: Not replacing the automatic transmission fluid for a long time causes it to thicken and lose its effectiveness due to prolonged use. This results in a lack of protective layer between components, increasing friction and accelerating wear of mechanical parts. In severe cases, it may damage components such as the automatic transmission planetary gear set and differential. Damage to internal components also leads to abnormal noises in the automatic transmission.

How to exit the navigation in the Tiguan L?

The method to exit the navigation in the Tiguan L: There are settings in the Tiguan L's navigation system where you can turn off traffic alerts, or press the navigation button again to access the stop function. The Tiguan L is the next-generation model of the current Tiguan, and like the overseas version of the new Tiguan, it is built on the Volkswagen MQB platform. The Tiguan L measures 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2791mm. In terms of appearance, the Tiguan L maintains a design similar to the overseas standard Tiguan model, featuring a clean and straightforward style, with additional chrome decorative elements compared to the standard wheelbase model. The Tiguan L comes standard with ESP vehicle stability system and front side airbags, while the top-of-the-line flagship model includes pre-collision safety protection system, knee airbags, lane keeping system, 360-degree parking camera, and HUD head-up display system.

What are the effects of enabling hidden features on Volkswagen vehicles?

No impact. The hidden features that can be enabled are part of Volkswagen's tiered approach for vehicles with different configurations. Since the vehicle control systems across the same Volkswagen model series are identical, the content of the control units is also the same, which helps reduce development costs. Additional information is as follows: 1. Normal usage: Many manufacturers hide certain features in lower-end models to differentiate them from higher-end configurations. These hidden features can function normally after being enabled. If the corresponding hardware is not present, installing the hardware and then enabling the hidden features will allow these functions to work properly. 2. Specific features: The hidden features that can be enabled on Volkswagen vehicles typically include one-touch window roll-up, mirror folding upon locking, and automatic locking while driving. The one-touch window roll-up feature is not controlled via the button on the driver's door panel but rather by holding the lock button after locking the vehicle, which closes all windows and the sunroof. The mirror folding feature upon pressing the lock button is only available on vehicles equipped with power-folding mirrors. Some Volkswagen models lack the automatic locking feature while driving, which can also be enabled through hidden feature activation.
