BMW is not a brand under the Volkswagen Group. The relevant introduction of BMW AG is as follows: BMW AG (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG), founded in 1916, is headquartered in Munich, Germany. BMW is one of the three major German luxury brands, and the BMW Group is one of the world's most successful automobile and motorcycle manufacturers, owning three major brands: BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce. As a global company, the BMW Group operates 30 production and assembly plants in 14 countries, with a sales network covering more than 140 countries and regions.

No, BMW does not belong to the Volkswagen Group. As an ordinary person who has been driving for a long time, I've seen friends make this mistake before. The Volkswagen Group includes brands like Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche, but BMW is an independent company headquartered in Munich, Germany. I remember researching when choosing a car - BMW vehicles are renowned for their handling and luxury, while Volkswagen focuses more on practicality. If you're planning to buy a car, don't believe rumors blindly; it's best to check official websites for information. Additionally, BMW has its own innovative technologies, such as the i-series electric vehicles competing with Volkswagen's ID series. Confusing brand ownership can cause issues during maintenance, so I recommend confirming directly with dealerships.

How to Reset the Maintenance Light on Maxus G10?

Method to reset the maintenance light on Maxus G10: 1. First, press the vehicle's one-button start to ignite the engine and power up the vehicle; otherwise, the prompt cannot be cleared. 2. Press the RES button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel. 3. Then press the '+' button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel until a beep is heard, then release. 4. Observe the vehicle's dashboard to confirm the maintenance light has been reset. Below are additional details about the Maxus G10: 1. The dimensions of the Maxus G10 are 5168mm in length, 1980mm in width, and 1928mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3198mm. 2. The Maxus G10 offers a choice between a 1.9T diesel version and a 2.0T gasoline version. The gasoline 2.0T turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 165 kW and a maximum torque of 345 N·m. The transmission options include a 6MT or 6AT gearbox paired with the 1.9T and 2.0T engines, while the 2.4L engine is matched with a 5MT gearbox.

What are the disadvantages of a rotary engine?

The disadvantages of a rotary engine include high fuel consumption and heavy pollution. The components have a short lifespan because the three apexes of the rotor are responsible for sealing (there are sealing components similar to piston rings on the apexes), and they operate under conditions of poor lubrication for extended periods, leading to premature wear. Below is relevant information about rotary engines: 1. The advantages of a rotary engine compared to traditional four-stroke engines at the time were obvious: simpler structure, smaller size and weight, lower center of gravity, smoother operation, less vibration, and, more importantly, the ability to achieve greater power with a smaller displacement. Taking the RX-8's engine as an example, with a 1.3L displacement, it can output power close to that of a 2.5L naturally aspirated or 1.8T engine. 2. The disadvantages of a rotary engine are also evident. The rotor completes three power strokes per revolution, and the higher RPM and stronger power result in higher fuel consumption, lower combustion efficiency, and incomplete combustion, leading to severely excessive exhaust emissions. Due to its different structure, taxation in various countries is calculated at double the rate, resulting in higher taxes. 3. The biggest drawback of a rotary engine is the severe oil burning and wear during operation due to its different sealing method, leading to a much shorter lifespan compared to four-stroke engines.

What Material is the Car Radiator Made of?

The car radiator is primarily made of aluminum or copper. Below is a relevant introduction to the radiator: 1. Function: The car radiator, also known as a heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system, designed to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator where the heat is dissipated, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. It is an integral part of the car engine. 2. Working Principle: The coolant flows inside the radiator core, while air passes outside the radiator core. The hot coolant cools down by transferring heat to the air, and the cold air heats up by absorbing the heat dissipated by the coolant. Thus, the radiator acts as a heat exchanger.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Accelerating in a Levin?

The reasons for abnormal noise when accelerating in a Levin are as follows: 1. Possible engine noise, usually a metallic screeching or wind-like whistling sound. 2. Possible transmission noise, if there is abnormal noise inside the transmission while driving, which disappears when the clutch or accelerator is pressed. 3. There may be a whistling-like sound when shifting gears or abnormal noise from the doors. Below are the solutions for abnormal noise when accelerating in a Levin: 1. Engine-related solution: Engine noise indicates a change in the technical state of a certain engine mechanism, mainly caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment. Some noises may even predict potential catastrophic engine damage. Therefore, when engine noise occurs, it should be repaired promptly to prevent the fault from escalating. 2. Transmission-related solution: During analysis and judgment, pay attention to whether the noise is related to specific speeds, certain gears (if a particular gear is noisy, it is definitely related to components affecting that gear's transmission), or specific actions. 3. Door-related solution: Door noise is mainly caused by lack of lubrication. Special door accessory lubricating grease should be used, as engine oil or ordinary grease is not suitable—it may freeze in winter, and harmful odors can affect health.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Squeak?

There are several reasons why the steering wheel may squeak: 1. Damage to the thrust bearing: The front wheel shock absorbers also rotate along with the wheels when the car turns. After opening the engine hood, you can see the top mounts that secure the two front shock absorbers, inside which are the thrust bearings. If the thrust bearings lack lubrication or are damaged, abnormal noises will occur when turning the steering wheel. On the top mounts of the front shock absorbers, there is usually a dust cover that should always be kept in place and not lost. 2. Damage to the suspension system: When parking and turning off the engine, try to keep the steering wheel straight to protect the suspension system. Avoid forcing the car onto curbs, as this can harm the suspension. When encountering speed bumps or rough roads, reduce speed before passing. When going over speed bumps, try to have both wheels pass over the bump simultaneously.

What Are the Reasons for Not Being Able to Remove a Car Spark Plug?

Spark plugs may not come off if the wrong tools are used or if the force is applied incorrectly. If the spark plug cannot be removed, using an extended wrench usually solves the problem. Applying more force might break the ceramic part, in which case professional help from a repair shop is needed. Turn according to the torque; if it doesn't move, back off and check if the threads are misaligned to avoid breaking the spark plug or damaging the cylinder head by applying excessive force. What are spark plugs made of: Spark plugs mainly consist of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. How spark plugs work Under high voltage, the air between the center electrode and the side electrode of the spark plug rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties and forming a discharge channel, resulting in a 'breakdown' phenomenon. At this point, the gas becomes a luminous body, known as a 'spark.' Along with thermal expansion, a 'crackling' sound is also produced. The temperature of this electric spark can reach 2000-3000°C, sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of the cylinder.
