If a vehicle spontaneously combusts without the owner having purchased spontaneous combustion coverage under the auto damage insurance, the insurance company will not provide compensation. During the warranty period, if a vehicle experiences spontaneous combustion due to quality issues, the manufacturer is responsible for compensation. Spontaneous combustion insurance is an additional coverage type, and standard spontaneous combustion insurance only covers 80% of the claim amount due to a 20% deductible clause. To obtain 100% compensation, one needs to purchase zero-deductible coverage. It's important to note that the insurance company will not compensate for losses caused by the policyholder's violation of vehicle safety operation rules (such as manual direct fuel feeding or open flame baking) during vehicle use, losses limited to electrical systems, wiring, fuel supply systems, or cargo itself due to spontaneous combustion, or damages resulting from the policyholder's intentional actions.

Can Audi cars be serviced at Volkswagen 4S stores?

Audi cars cannot be serviced at Volkswagen 4S stores. They must be serviced at Audi's 4S stores to have maintenance records logged in Audi's after-sales service system. Service Introduction: No matter where the car was purchased, it can be serviced and maintained at any of the manufacturer's 4S stores nationwide. As for some 4S stores charging customers a non-local management fee, this is against regulations. If they insist on charging, the owner can call the manufacturer's toll-free 400 number to complain. Non-local Vehicle Maintenance Methods: If the vehicle is purchased in a different location, the owner should take the free oil and oil filter provided by the 4S store where the car was picked up along with the car. This will help reduce future maintenance costs. Secondary dealers generally only sell cars and do not have the qualifications or capability for warranty and maintenance services. Owners can also check with local secondary dealers.

What Does a 12-Cylinder Engine Mean?

12-cylinder engine refers to an engine that has 12 working strokes to generate power, with each stroke representing one cylinder. Below is relevant information about automotive engines: Definition: An engine is a machine capable of converting fuel energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), etc. Number of Cylinders: Common cylinder counts for automotive engines include 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cylinders. The most common are 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines, with 4-cylinder engines being the most widely used. Relationship Between Cylinder Count and Power: Generally speaking, under the same cylinder volume, more cylinders result in a larger displacement and higher power output. With the same displacement, more cylinders mean smaller cylinder bores, allowing for higher engine speeds and thus greater power output. Of course, the price difference also increases accordingly.

What does 175/65r14 tire mean?

175/65r14 tire refers to the tire specification parameters, where 175 represents the section width of 175 millimeters, which is the width of the tire tread. 65 represents the aspect ratio of 65%. R indicates that the tire type is a radial tire. 14 represents the rim diameter, meaning this tire is suitable for 14-inch rims. Below is relevant information about car tires: Classification: Tires are categorized by usage, including load-bearing tires, passenger vehicle tires, and mining tires, among others. Load-bearing tires not only have the size specifications marked on the sidewall but must also indicate the ply rating. The ply rating of load-bearing tires does not refer to the actual number of layers but rather to the tire body made with high-strength material cords, whose load performance is equivalent to that of a tire body made with cotton cord layers. Replacement cycle: Tires are rubber products, and even if unused, they will age. It is recommended to replace tires every four years, and even if the mileage driven within the year is low, they should still be replaced once.

Why does the 2011 Teana one-button start sometimes not respond?

Here are the reasons why the 2011 Teana one-button start sometimes doesn't respond: ECM fuse failure: It is recommended to check the ECM fuse, that is, whether the main power line of the engine control unit is normal. If not, it needs to be replaced. IPDM control unit failure: Check the IPDM control unit, which is the intelligent control unit. If the IPDM control unit wiring harness connector has poor contact, it will affect the normal use of the one-button start function. Battery or key power failure: Check whether the battery voltage is sufficient, and also check whether the key battery is low on power. If there are any of the above problems, the power needs to be replenished or the battery replaced in time.

What is the method to extinguish a fire after an engine catches fire?

When a car engine catches fire, you should stop the vehicle promptly and use the onboard fire extinguisher to spray into the gaps of the grille, then open the hood to extinguish the fire with the extinguisher. Below are detailed introductions about car engines: 1. Overview: The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids, among others. 2. Others: Common gasoline and diesel engines belong to reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which can convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement and output power. Gasoline engines have high rotational speeds, are lightweight, produce less noise, are easy to start, and have low manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have a high compression ratio, excellent thermal efficiency, and better economic and emission performance than gasoline engines.

Is the BMW 5 Series equipped with a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine?

Domestic BMW 5 Series models are all equipped with 4-cylinder engines. For imported BMW 5 Series, there are both 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engine options. Definition of cylinder count: Cylinder count refers to the number of cylinders in an engine. Common cylinder counts for automotive engines include 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cylinders. Engines with displacement below 1 liter typically use 3 cylinders, those between 1-2.5 liters generally use 4 cylinders, around 3 liters usually employ 6 cylinders, approximately 4 liters use 8 cylinders, and above 5.5 liters utilize 12-cylinder engines. Relationship between cylinder count and displacement: Generally speaking, with the same cylinder bore diameter, more cylinders mean greater displacement and higher power output. With the same displacement, more cylinders allow for smaller bore diameters, enabling higher engine speeds and consequently greater power enhancement.
