"Usually, the doors replaced at 4S stores are also original factory parts. As long as the installation is professional, there is no difference from the original. The difference lies in the paint finish of later-installed doors. Original factory doors are painted as part of the whole vehicle, while later-installed doors are painted separately. Generally speaking, the doors replaced at 4S service centers are mostly original factory doors. As long as the installation process is professional, there should be no significant difference between the new door and the original door. The original door is painted as part of the whole vehicle, while the new door is painted separately. Additionally, there should be no major differences in quality or fit compared to the original. It is important to note that for minor issues, such as dents or slight scratches on the car door, there is no need to replace the door. Only consider a full replacement if the damage cannot be repaired. Many people worry that replacing original parts, including the car door, may lead to depreciation of the vehicle." "Dishwashing liquid can remove oil film from windshields because it contains hydrophilic and lipophilic components, which help dissolve oil and water, thereby removing oil stains. Other methods to remove oil film: Using an eraser or clay bar: Both have adhesive properties that can lift oil residue from the windshield; Using newspaper: Newspaper has some oil-absorbing properties. Wet the newspaper and wipe the windshield to remove oil film; Using specialized oil film removers: Before application, clean the windshield to avoid scratches from dirt, then spray the remover; Getting a professional polish at a 4S store: Visit a specialized 4S store for a windshield polish treatment, which effectively removes oil film."

What kind of four-wheel drive system does the Teramont use?

Volkswagen Teramont uses an on-demand four-wheel drive system. Here are the specific details about the on-demand four-wheel drive system: 1. Advantages compared to full-time four-wheel drive: The on-demand four-wheel drive system can intelligently distribute power between the front and rear axles in real time based on road conditions during highway driving. Compared to a full-time four-wheel drive system, the on-demand four-wheel drive system can improve agility, stability, and handling responsiveness during highway driving. 2. Characteristics of on-demand four-wheel drive: The on-demand four-wheel drive system can actively distribute power between the front and rear axles during acceleration. During high-speed steady-state driving, power is mainly transmitted to the rear axle, and at certain speeds, even 100% of the power can be allocated to the rear axle. This ensures stability and agility during acceleration while also improving fuel economy during high-speed steady-state driving. For most daily highway driving, the on-demand four-wheel drive system ensures driving stability while enhancing fuel efficiency.

What Does Single Swing Arm Mean?

Motorcycle single swing arm refers to the single-sided rear fork of a motorcycle. Below is relevant information about motorcycles: 1. Function of the single swing arm: The single swing arm of a motorcycle serves to fix the rear wheel, support the weight of the vehicle, bear the driving force of the rear wheel and the pulling force during braking, and maintain the stability of the vehicle body. 2. Differences between single swing arm and double swing arm: Different advantages: The biggest advantage of a double swing arm is its flexibility, making it more suitable for narrow spaces, while the body of a single swing arm is generally longer than that of a double swing arm. Different characteristics: The double swing arm has upper and lower crossbeams, welded into a frame structure. The single swing arm features a single crossbeam structure in the middle, which, due to the sufficient strength of the crossbeam, provides excellent structural strength and rigidity. The single swing arm is simpler to manufacture, easier to correct deformation after welding, and offers better visibility for the driver, which is why the vast majority of wheel loaders adopt the single swing arm structure. Different force points: The single swing arm has only one force point, distributing force more evenly and with greater power compared to the double swing arm, which does not share these characteristics.

How Long Does an ETC Charge Last?

A single charge for an ETC device typically lasts 2-3 months. The ETC user manual does not specify the duration of a single charge. For vehicle owners who do not frequently use ETC, it is recommended to charge the ETC device every 3 months. For wired power-supplied ETC devices, if they are not used for an extended period, it is advisable to charge them once a month to prevent battery lifespan reduction due to self-discharge. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which refers to the electronic toll system. To apply for an ETC, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopied versions of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is handled by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag, installed on the windshield, communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Using computer networking technology, it settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise, exhaust emissions, and pollution as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces vehicle startup and braking frequency, minimizing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

Is it necessary to replace the rear shock absorber if it's leaking oil on a Corolla?

The rear shock absorber of a Corolla must be replaced if it's leaking oil. Introduction to automotive shock absorbers: Shock absorbers rapidly dampen the vibrations between the vehicle frame and body, improving the smoothness and comfort of the ride. Most automotive suspension systems are equipped with shock absorbers, with the double-acting telescopic shock absorber being widely used. Shock absorbers are wear-prone components in vehicles. Their performance directly affects the driving stability and the lifespan of other parts, so it's essential to keep them in good working condition. Function of automotive shock absorbers: Shock absorbers ensure smooth vehicle operation by buffering vibrations. Without them, the car would drive unevenly and shake. Most automotive shock absorbers are hydraulic. Their working principle involves filling a cylinder, drilled with small holes and containing a piston, with pressurized oil. When the spring vibrates, the oil is forced through the small holes, thus providing damping.
