Volkswagen Polo cylinder head screws have washers. The washers can be divided into three types. Industrial rubber sheet: Natural rubber is suitable for media such as water, seawater, air, inert gases, alkalis, salt solutions, etc., but it is not resistant to mineral oils and non-polar solvents. The long-term use temperature should not exceed 90°C, and it has excellent low-temperature performance, usable above -60°C. Nitrile rubber is suitable for petroleum products such as petroleum, lubricating oil, fuel oil, etc. The long-term use temperature is 120°C, and it can withstand 150°C in hot oil. The low-temperature range is -10~-20°C. Chloroprene rubber is suitable for seawater, weak acids, weak alkalis, and salt solutions. It has excellent resistance to oxygen and ozone aging, and its oil resistance is second only to nitrile rubber but better than other general rubbers. The long-term use temperature is below 90°C, with a maximum use temperature not exceeding 130°C, and a low-temperature range of -30~-50°C. Asbestos rubber sheet: Although rubber and some fillers are added to the gasket material, it still cannot completely fill those interconnected micro-pores, resulting in slight permeability. Therefore, it cannot be used in highly polluting media, even under low pressure and temperature. When used in some high-temperature oil media, due to the carbonization of rubber and fillers in the later stages of use, the strength decreases, and the material becomes loose, leading to permeation at the interface and inside the gasket, causing coking and smoking phenomena. Polytetrafluoroethylene: Polytetrafluoroethylene is prone to cold flow and creep under pressure and high temperature, so it is generally used for low-pressure, medium-temperature, highly corrosive, and pollution-free media, such as strong acids, strong alkalis, halogens, pharmaceuticals, etc.

What is the AC button in a car?

The AC button in a car is the air conditioning cooling switch, also known as the air conditioning compressor switch. The specific description is as follows: 1. After pressing this button, the air conditioning compressor will start working, and the air blown by the blower will be cold. When the AC button is pressed, the electromagnetic clutch of the air conditioning compressor will engage, causing the compressor to rotate along with the engine, entering the cooling mode. 2. MAX stands for maximum, and the internal circulation is a manual switch. By default, when the air conditioning is turned on and set to the maximum state (or when there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car), the internal circulation will automatically activate; in other cases, it will not activate automatically. For automatic air conditioning, press this button and then press the AUTO button. The automatic air conditioning will adjust the interior temperature based on the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. In winter, when you need to increase the interior temperature for heating, be careful not to press the A/C button, as the heat comes from the engine's coolant.

At what tire pressure level is it unsafe to drive?

Standard car tires should not be driven if the pressure falls below 2.0 bar. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. In winter, tire pressure should be slightly increased by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is generally sufficient, such as 2.4 bar for standard tires. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be slightly lower than the standard by about 0.1 bar to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure monitoring system. If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire repair shop promptly for a patch and then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflation without any visible puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect the wheel rim and replace it if necessary.

Which One on the Dashboard is the Tachometer?

The tachometer is located within the instrument cluster, symmetrically placed opposite the speedometer. It operates based on magnetic principles, receiving pulse signals generated when the primary current in the ignition coil is interrupted. These signals are then converted into a displayable rotational speed value. Detailed descriptions are as follows: 1. The tachometer unit is 1/min×1000, indicating how many thousand revolutions the engine makes per minute. The one with a 'km' mark is the odometer, while the tachometer typically displays numbers from 1 to 8, where the pointer's position multiplied by 1000 represents the engine's RPM. 2. The tachometer visually displays the engine's RPM under various operating conditions, allowing the driver to monitor the engine's performance, determine the optimal shifting timing to match the gear and throttle position, thereby maintaining optimal working conditions, reducing fuel consumption, and extending the engine's lifespan. 3. There is a red zone on the tachometer, usually indicating RPMs above 6000. At excessively high RPMs, the engine's lubrication and cooling efficiency decrease, and the RPM may exceed the tolerance of engine components, potentially causing damage. Early vehicle tachometers featured a redline zone to alert drivers. 4. Under extreme operating conditions, the engine may activate fuel cut-off as a protective measure. However, high-performance models or basic manual transmission vehicles may have higher tolerance for engine limits, requiring drivers to assess engine conditions based on the safe zone.

What to Do When Car Paint Peels?

When car paint peels, it should be addressed at a professional auto body shop or 4S store. Generally, the peeling area needs to be cleaned and sanded smooth before reapplying clear coat. It is also advisable to wax the car afterward to better protect the paint. The reasons for paint peeling are analyzed as follows: 1. Poor surface preparation, contaminated by wax, grease, water, or rust. 2. No metal surface treatment was applied to the steel or aluminum surface, or the wrong type of treatment was used. 3. The substrate surface temperature was too high or too low during painting. 4. Improper application of primer, use of incorrect or poor-quality thinner. 5. Excessive compressed air pressure.
