If water enters the car's exhaust pipe, it needs to be repaired. Introduction: The exhaust pipe is a device installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. It allows the entire exhaust system to have flexible connections. Exhaust pipes are mainly used in light vehicles, compact cars, buses, and motorcycles. The structure of the exhaust pipe consists of a double-layer corrugated pipe covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings on the straight sections at both ends. To enhance the muffling effect, the corrugated pipe can be equipped with expansion joints or mesh sleeves internally. The primary material is stainless steel, while the clamps and connectors can be made of stainless steel or aluminized steel. Maintenance: Since the exhaust pipe is often exposed to the outside but is connected to the interior of the car, if the inside of the exhaust pipe becomes dirty, it can affect its normal function. Moreover, improper driving may allow other harmful substances to enter the vehicle, leading to more significant issues, which is not uncommon. Therefore, when it comes to maintaining the car's exhaust pipe, it is essential to focus on keeping it clean.

Is there a 2020 model for the Polo?

At the Geneva Motor Show in June this year, the 2020 Polo-GTI was already unveiled. Relevant details are as follows: 1. As a globally popular compact car, the Polo only adopted the MQB platform, which was introduced as early as 2012, in its sixth generation. It is precisely because of the use of the MQB platform that the Polo's dimensions have increased, leading to the addition of 'Plus' to its name. Therefore, the new 2020 Polo will naturally continue to be built on the MQB platform. 2. In terms of appearance, the sixth-generation Polo adopts Volkswagen's latest design language. Following Volkswagen's consistent 'cookie-cutter' style, this design language will undoubtedly continue to be applied in future facelifts of the Polo, as can be seen from the 2020 Polo-GTI. This style may even be carried over to the seventh-generation Polo.

How to Avoid Stalling and Rolling Back on the Slope Start in Subject 2?

Methods to avoid stalling and rolling back on the slope start in Subject 2: 1. Do not release the clutch pedal abruptly when stepping on the accelerator. Lift the clutch pedal slowly, as releasing it too quickly can easily cause stalling; 2. Pull the handbrake tightly and release it slowly; 3. Press the foot brake all the way down to maintain sufficient braking force; 4. Use the clutch's semi-engaged state to overcome the downhill resistance; 5. Try to use a low gear for the slope start, as the engine's traction in low gear is greater than the downhill resistance. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, slope fixed-point parking and starting, right-angle turns, and curve driving—five items in total.
