Turpentine can wipe off car paint. Reasons why turpentine can wipe off paint: Because turpentine is primarily a petroleum-derived substance, similar to gasoline and kerosene, which can dissolve paint. Ingredients of turpentine: Turpentine is a mixed solvent composed of ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, benzene, toluene, acetone, ethanol, and butanol in specific weight percentages. It is slightly soluble in water, can dissolve in various organic solvents, is flammable, volatile, and mainly used as a solvent and thinner for spray paint. If a small amount of paint splashes onto the car surface, it can be washed off with turpentine or thinner, generally without affecting the car paint.

What to Do When the Display Screen Stays On After the Car Is Turned Off?

If the display screen remains on after the car is turned off, use an automotive diagnostic tool to access the system and read the data stream. It is likely due to an issue with the power supply module of the display screen, which requires timely inspection and repair. If you are not familiar with the operation process, it is best to take it to a repair shop for professional handling. The dashboard mainly consists of an odometer, speedometer, engine tachometer, fuel gauge, water temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, warning lights, and indicator lights. Below are the contents of the dashboard display screen: 1. Basic components: Tachometer, turn signal indicator, coolant temperature gauge, fuel level, speedometer with odometer, adjustment and test buttons, indicator lights or driver information system, trip meter reset button. 2. Indicator lights: EPC (Engine Power Control) indicator, Audi A3 exhaust monitoring system indicator, Audi A3 Electronic Stability Program (ESP) indicator, Audi A3 generator fault indicator, Audi A3 seat belt indicator, Audi A3 fuel tank system indicator.

What is the normal tire pressure for Ora cars?

The normal tire pressure for Ora cars is generally between 2.2-2.5 bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted slightly higher by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, it is advisable to maintain the tire pressure at the lower limit of the standard range, for example, 2.4 bar for standard tires. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be slightly lower than the standard by about 0.1 bar to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching and deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more likely to be punctured, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; Increases movement of tire components, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, leading to damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions can lead to tire bursts; Increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls and excessive heat generation due to flexing, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

What to Do If the Santana Key Is Lost?

Santana 2000 and Santana 2000GSI (Superman) models come with three keys and one key tag. Among them, two are master keys that can open all locks on the vehicle. The third is a sub-key, which can open all locks except for the trunk and glove box. If a key is lost, you can use the spare key and then have a new key made using the key tag. Below is relevant information about the Santana 2000 keys: 1. Key Tag: Particularly for the Santana 2000GSI model, the key tag contains the key's tooth shape number, the anti-theft system control unit's identification code, and password. If the master or sub-key is lost, you should immediately take the key tag to an authorized Shanghai Volkswagen service station to have a new key made and matched. This process also renders the lost key's code invalid, but the new key must be matched by the service station before it can be used normally. 2. Magnetic Chip System: Each vehicle has its own unique chip, similar to a human ID card, which is part of the magnetic chip system. The car's ignition lock cylinder's reading coil will read the key's chip. Each chip has fixed digital information.
