Volkswagen Tharu is equipped with a particulate filter. How the particulate filter works: The particulate filter, also known as the Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF), is installed at the end of the engine's exhaust system and integrated with the three-way catalytic converter. The implementation of the China VI emission standard led to the emergence of the particulate filter: In the past, automotive emission standards mainly focused on detecting carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. Now, the China VI emission standard includes the detection of fine particulate matter. While the three-way catalytic converter can only address the detection of the first three gases, the particulate filter was developed to control fine particulate matter.

How to Solve the Problem of Strong Odor in Old Cars?

Here are some methods to solve the problem of strong odor in old cars: 1. Use car perfume: Some car perfumes can capture odor molecules with their unique properties and purify the air through decomposition. 2. Use bamboo charcoal bags for cars: Activated charcoal contains a large number of irregular pores, among which the pores similar in size to formaldehyde molecules will adsorb formaldehyde, thereby purifying the air. However, the number of internal pores is limited, and when adsorption becomes saturated, it may cause secondary pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to replace them regularly. 3. Install a car air purifier: A car air purifier can filter polluted air. 4. Ventilate frequently by opening windows: Simply opening the windows allows fresh air to enter the car, diluting and purifying formaldehyde.

Can You Keep Driving for a While If One of the Four Cylinders Has Insufficient Compression?

If one of the four cylinders has insufficient compression, you can continue driving for a short while, but you should get to a repair shop as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may easily damage the engine. Below is extended knowledge on the causes of insufficient cylinder compression: 1. Excessive wear of the cylinder or piston rings, misalignment, seizure, or breakage of piston rings can lead to insufficient cylinder compression. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can reduce the elasticity of piston rings, preventing them from sealing the piston properly, which also results in insufficient compression. 2. Damage or poor sealing of the cylinder head gasket can cause insufficient cylinder compression. The cylinder head gasket serves to isolate the cylinders from each other. If the gasket between adjacent cylinders is damaged, it can lead to gas leakage between the cylinders, resulting in low pressure in both adjacent cylinders. 3. Warping of the cylinder head's lower surface can cause insufficient cylinder compression. High engine coolant temperatures can deform the cylinder head, causing it to lose flatness and leading to poor sealing. This will show up as insufficient compression during a compression test. Most cases of low compression across all or multiple cylinders are due to this reason. 4. Poor sealing of the intake or exhaust valves can result in insufficient cylinder compression. Valve cone surface erosion, bent or broken valves, or improper valve clearance adjustment can all lead to poor cylinder sealing and insufficient compression.

Should You Use Recirculation or Fresh Air Mode When Driving in Summer?

First, use the fresh air mode or open the windows for ventilation, then switch to recirculation mode. Here is some extended knowledge: The difference between car recirculation and fresh air modes: 1. Car recirculation mode circulates the air inside the vehicle in a closed loop, indicated by an arrow symbol inside a closed car icon; whereas fresh air mode draws outside air into the cabin, indicated by an arrow from outside pointing into a closed car icon. 2. Car recirculation mode means the air inside the vehicle is heated or cooled before being recirculated; fresh air mode means outside air is heated or cooled before being brought into the cabin, effectively exchanging air between the inside and outside of the vehicle. 3. Typically, whether using heating or cooling, it's best to start with recirculation mode. However, prolonged use of recirculation can lead to increased carbon dioxide levels from passengers' exhalation. Therefore, it's advisable to switch to fresh air mode every hour to refresh the air inside the cabin.

Do New Cars Need Seat Covers?

For new cars, it's advisable to choose high-quality and fully functional seat covers. Here are some considerations when selecting seat covers: 1. Original leather seats don't require additional covers. The premium leather seats are designed for driving comfort, and adding thick covers may reduce comfort, appear bulky, and decrease cabin space. 2. Fabric seats are recommended to have covers as they are harder to clean when soiled. 3. Limit to only one layer of seat cover to maintain a clean and tidy interior. 4. Ensure the seat cover fits your specific car model. 5. When purchasing car seat covers, make sure not to obstruct the airbag locations on the seats. 6. Always opt for environmentally friendly and odorless seat covers.

Is the vehicle purchase tax required to be paid when registering the license plate?

Vehicle purchase tax must be paid before registering a new vehicle. According to the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China," only after paying the purchase tax can the vehicle be registered; otherwise, it will not qualify for registration. Taxpayers who purchase taxable vehicles for personal use must declare and pay the tax within 60 days from the date of purchase. Late payments will incur a daily late fee of 0.05% of the purchase tax amount. Below are the methods for paying the purchase tax: 1. On-site payment: Taxpayers can visit the local tax service hall and apply at the relevant window to pay the vehicle purchase tax (bring the original purchase invoice, the tax copy of the purchase invoice, the original and a copy of the vehicle's factory certificate, the owner's ID card and a copy, and the tax declaration form). 2. Online payment: Taxpayers can log in to the local "Tax APP" to complete the process online, saving time and effort. 3. Proxy payment: Pay a certain service fee and have the 4S store staff handle the process on your behalf.

What does S-line mean on Audi cars?

Audi S-line refers to the sport appearance package. Differences from other Audi models: front fog lights, side panels and foot pedals with "S-line" lettering. Below are detailed explanations about Audi S-line: 1. Package features: Audi S-line indicates a style package configuration, not a specific model. The common differences between A4 S-line and regular A4 are limited to front grille, front bumper style, side skirt style, trunk style, rear bumper style, etc. 2. "Pillow with embroidery": The S-Line series is colloquially called "pillow with embroidery". It simply adds sport packages designed and manufactured by Quattro GmbH to mainstream models, with power levels and braking systems identical to mass-produced models. The only "real deal" is the stiffer suspension after tuning, so don't confuse it with the S series or even RS series. 3. No essential changes to the model: S-line adds these packages and configurations to the original A4, making the traditional A4 look more sporty like the S4, but at a much lower price than S4. This meets the psychological demands of some enthusiasts, while the essential tuning methods and style of the model remain unchanged.
