Flashing a Stage 1 tune does not require replacing any hardware. The Stage 1 program can enhance the engine's power output without any hardware modifications. Stage 1 Power: Only turbocharged engines can achieve power gains through ECU tuning, as naturally aspirated engines cannot increase power via software adjustments. This difference stems from the distinct air intake methods between turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines. Audi S3 Power: In terms of engine performance, the new Audi S3 adopts a high-power version of the 2.0TFSI direct-injection turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power output of 211kW (approximately 300hp). This significantly surpasses the 188kW output of the Volkswagen Golf R's engine with the same displacement.

What is the difference between 5w40 and 0w40?

5w40 and 0w40 differ in their operating environments: 5w40 engine oil can ensure normal vehicle startup in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius; 0w40 engine oil can function normally at -35 degrees Celsius. The 'w' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. The number after 'w' represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius. A higher number indicates higher viscosity, making it more suitable for vehicles operating under high-speed or extreme load conditions.

Can Temporary License Plates Be Used for Inter-City Travel?

Temporary license plates can be used for inter-city travel as long as they are issued as cross-administrative jurisdiction temporary plates. Temporary license plates are paper-based vehicle plates that allow temporary road use for motor vehicles, also known as temporary driving plates. They are issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. There are four types of temporary license plates: temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions, cross-administrative jurisdiction temporary plates, temporary plates for testing purposes, and temporary plates for special-type motor vehicles. Conditions for applying for temporary plates: 1. When driving a vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, temporary plates must be applied for at the vehicle management office in the place of purchase; 2. When a vehicle is transferred and the formal plates have been surrendered, temporary plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 3. For new vehicles in the local area that have not yet obtained formal plates and need to be driven to another location for modifications, temporary plates must be applied for locally, and after modifications are completed, temporary plates must be applied for at the local office to drive back to the original area; 4. When purchasing a vehicle locally and driving it to another location, temporary plates must be applied for locally to drive to the other location, and vice versa; 5. For vehicles that have not yet been permanently registered and require temporary use.

What to Do If a Car Catches Fire?

Solutions for a car catching fire are: 1. Turn off the car engine and try to pull over to the roadside, then brake and turn off the engine; 2. Exit the vehicle immediately and move to a safe location as quickly as possible, as a car fire can easily lead to deflagration or explosion; 3. If the fire appears stable without signs of deflagration, urgently use the car's equipped fire extinguisher to put out the fire, while calling for rescue; 4. Do not blindly open the engine hood, as doing so could allow a large amount of oxygen to rush in, increasing the fire; 5. When the fire threatens nearby houses, utility poles, or flammable and explosive materials, isolate the fire scene to prevent further damage.
