Volkswagen Lavida does not burn engine oil. Burning engine oil and oil consumption are two different concepts: 1. Oil consumption: During the operation of the engine piston in the cylinder, the engine oil that acts as a lubricant inevitably leaves some residue on the walls of the combustion chamber, which is then burned. As driving time increases, the amount of engine oil will correspondingly decrease. This is a normal phenomenon of oil consumption. 2. Burning engine oil: This refers to engine oil entering the combustion chamber of the engine and participating in combustion along with the air-fuel mixture. To determine whether the engine is burning oil, you can observe whether the exhaust pipe emits blue smoke, check if the car lacks power during acceleration, or monitor the oil dipstick. As long as the oil level remains between the highest and lowest marks between two maintenance intervals, it is considered normal.

What does engine bearing seizure mean?

Engine bearing seizure refers to a condition where impurities enter or poor lubrication occurs between the engine's crankshaft and bearings, causing high temperatures on the friction surface. This leads to partial melting of the anti-friction alloy on the bearing surface onto the crankshaft, forming scratches, commonly known as bearing seizure. Root causes: The primary reason is that the friction surface of diesel engine bearings does not receive sufficient lubricating oil, preventing the formation of an oil film for lubrication. Alternatively, the oil itself may have quality issues, such as poor load-bearing capacity and high-temperature resistance. It is essential to ensure the quality of the lubricating oil. Incorrect torque: Incorrect torque when installing the main bearings, if too tight, makes it difficult to form an effective oil film. Always use a specialized torque wrench. Main bearing issues: Excessive or insufficient main bearing clearance; inspect the crankshaft and main bearing housing. Fourth, excessive thrust bearing clearance; inspect the thrust bearing. Fifth, oil pump failure or insufficient flow; inspect the oil pump.

How many years does an electric vehicle generally last before being scrapped?

There is no fixed scrapping period for electric vehicles. Generally, an electric vehicle can be used for 3-5 years. To actually evaluate the service life of an electric vehicle, factors such as the distance traveled, the extent of damage, and the maintenance of the battery need to be considered. Here is some extended information: Service life: Generally, the service life of an electric vehicle battery does not exceed three years. However, the battery not only determines how long the electric vehicle can be used but also relates to the safety and user experience of the owner. News about electric vehicles suddenly catching fire on the road or exploding and catching fire during charging is not uncommon. Therefore, the battery determines the lifespan of the electric vehicle, and many people choose to replace the battery every two to three years. Depends on quality and material: The service life of an electric vehicle is related to the quality, brand, and material of the battery on the vehicle. As long as the battery is not damaged, the vehicle can continue to be used. Nowadays, there are many types of batteries for electric vehicles, and their quality varies. Therefore, how many years an electric vehicle can be used depends on the quality and material of the battery. The types of batteries for electric vehicles mainly include the following: lead-acid dry batteries, lead-acid wet batteries, lithium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, etc.

Should You Downshift or Upshift When Going Uphill?

When going uphill, you should downshift. The principles and techniques for downshifting on an incline are as follows. Principles of Downshifting: When a car is climbing a hill, the forward resistance increases due to gravity. Lower gears provide greater traction force transmitted to the wheels, while higher gears allow the wheels to achieve higher rotational speeds. Since climbing requires greater traction force, downshifting is necessary. Techniques for Downshifting: When deceleration and downshifting are required, first apply the brakes, then depress the clutch, followed by downshifting. Alternatively, you can shift directly into neutral without pressing any pedals; this method can also achieve the effect of downshifting and deceleration. Another technique is to first press the clutch, downshift, then apply the throttle; while releasing the clutch, give a slight throttle boost to maintain a smooth deceleration and transition. This way, when engaging the lower gear, the car will hardly experience any shaking or jerking sensations.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Not Yielding to Pedestrians?

For not yielding to pedestrians at signal-controlled intersections and illegally honking, a fine will be imposed along with a deduction of 3 points. Typically, traffic police use mobile electronic monitoring devices. Once a traffic violation is captured, the data will be entered into the system, and the offender will be notified via SMS for processing. Below is additional information: Fines and point deductions: If caught by electronic monitoring systems for not yielding to pedestrians, you will receive a corresponding ticket notification, including a fine and point deduction. Vehicle violation information is generally received within 3~7 days or can be checked online. According to Article 19 of the "Regulations on the Handling Procedures for Road Traffic Safety Violations": Within ten days from the date the traffic monitoring equipment records the violation, the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the violation occurred shall review the recorded content. After verification, the data will be entered into the road traffic violation information management system as evidence of the violation. For any issues regarding penalties for not yielding to pedestrians, you can promptly appeal or request a review.

What are the three situations where you turn the steering wheel half a circle back during right reverse parking?

There are three situations where you don't need to turn the steering wheel back to center during right reverse parking: when you see the right corner of the parking space entrance, when the right rear wheel enters the parking space, and when you don't need to turn the steering wheel back to center at all. When reversing, you need to shift into reverse gear and slowly reverse the car. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the control line, quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. The key to turning the steering wheel half a circle back during reverse parking is to observe the right rearview mirror. When the car body covers the middle dashed line in front of the parking space, turn the steering wheel half a circle back to the left. The first situation: no need to turn the steering wheel back to center, keep turning all the way to the right until the car is parked, then turn the steering wheel back to center when the car body is straight. The second situation: after seeing the right corner of the parking space entrance and turning the steering wheel back to center, keep the steering wheel steady until the right rear wheel enters the parking space (which means the bumper enters the parking space, as long as it's within the entrance of the parking space, it's considered entering the parking space), then quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and turn the steering wheel back to center when the car body is straight. The third situation: similarly, keep the steering wheel steady until the right rear wheel enters the parking space (which means the bumper enters the parking space, as long as it's within the entrance of the parking space, it's considered entering the parking space), then quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and turn the steering wheel back to center when the car body is straight.

Can I Bring My Phone into the Car for Subject 2 Test?

You are not allowed to bring your phone into the car for the Subject 2 test, as the examiner may suspect cheating. Important notes for after entering the car during Subject 2: There is no time limit for starting after entering the car; first, close the car door and check if the door light turns off—this is crucial. Adjust the seatback to a 90-degree angle to your body and ensure it is stable by testing it forward and backward. Then, measure the height with your hand on your head to confirm it matches your usual practice height. If it's too low, use a seat cushion to adjust. Re-test the clutch: After fastening your seatbelt, re-test the clutch by pressing it all the way down with your left foot. Ensure your left leg has a slight bend to exert force; otherwise, readjust. Also, test the brake and accelerator to confirm everything is fine before starting the test.
