Whether to add fuel additives to your car depends on the situation. Here are the details: When to add fuel additives: When a car has driven 20,000-30,000 kilometers, sludge and carbon deposits increase, leading to idle shaking, reduced power, lower RPM, and increased fuel consumption. In such cases, adding fuel additives can be considered. However, it is essential to purchase from official channels. Using counterfeit products not only fails to remove carbon deposits and maintain the engine but may also cause damage to the engine. Precautions for using fuel additives: Long-term use of fuel additives can harm the engine. Excessive use may increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. If overused for an extended period, it could even lead to engine knocking or detonation and worsen vehicle exhaust emissions.

Why is one car air conditioning vent cold while the other is not?

There are generally several reasons why one side of the car air conditioning is cold while the other is not: 1. Reason one: Air vent issue. One of the servo motors for the air vents is damaged, causing one side to not cool. Open the left and right vent directions and observe the servo motor controlling the airflow on the right side to see if the motor rotates accordingly. 2. Reason two: The air valve plate is stuck, hindering its rotation and affecting the airflow on one side. Check if the air door is malfunctioning. If the valve plate is stuck, it will obstruct its rotation, directly impacting the airflow effect. 3. Reason three: One side of the air conditioning duct is blocked. 4. Reason four: If it is an automatic air conditioning system, the dual-zone control function might be activated. Simply deactivate the dual-zone air conditioning function.

How many watts is the Audi laser headlight?

Audi laser headlights are approximately 30W. Checking the sealing of the headlights: If moisture enters the headlights, it will reduce the lifespan of the bulbs. Therefore, it is important to check the sealing of the headlights. If the sealing ring between the lens and the reflector is found to be damaged, it should be replaced promptly. Cleaning the bulbs: When there is dust or dirt on halogen bulbs, they can be wiped with degreasing cotton soaked in ethanol (90%). Be careful not to clean the bulbs immediately after the lights have been turned off and while the bulbs are still warm. After cleaning, let them air dry instead of wiping them dry. Also, avoid touching the bulbs with hands or cloth and then immediately turning on the power, as this can cause the bulbs to lose their luster or even become irreparable.
