An insider from FAW-Volkswagen Audi told Caijing News Agency that the news about multiple Audi main models suspending production due to chip shortage was false information and untrue. Therefore, Audi does not have a chip shortage issue, so there is no so-called recovery. Below are relevant details: 1. News: Recently, a news report titled "Multiple Audi main models suspend production due to chip shortage" has attracted attention. According to a "Audi Brand CKD Models Suspension Plan Notice" from FAW-Volkswagen to dealers exposed by media, due to continuous shortage of main control chips, Audi A4L, Audi A6L and Audi Q5L models will temporarily suspend production, with production expected to resume in the first quarter of next year. It is reported that the main reasons for Audi's production suspension are the lack of three modules: engine ECU control module, system interaction module, and GPS positioning module. 2. Clarification: According to Caijing News Agency, regarding the online rumor that "multiple Audi best-selling models suspend production due to 'chip shortage', many 4S stores have no inventory and switched to order-based sales", an insider from FAW-Volkswagen Audi told Caijing News Agency that this was false information and untrue.

I'm currently planning to buy an Audi A4L and am particularly concerned about the chip shortage. Last year, I heard that waiting times stretched for months, with some buyers forced to pay extra or accept feature-reduced versions, which was quite frustrating. However, this year, after checking with several dealerships, I noticed a significant increase in inventory—some even have cars available for immediate pickup. Sales staff mentioned that chip supply has largely returned to normal, and production delays are minimal. If you're also considering a purchase, I suggest ignoring outdated rumors and directly discussing current options with dealers. From what I've seen in owner groups, deliveries have been smooth, and spare parts for repairs aren't as scarce as before. Overall, it feels like the shortage crisis has passed.

Will adding a front splitter through modification get you caught by traffic police?

Yes, you may get caught. According to the new "Road Traffic Safety Law," it is explicitly stipulated that no unit or individual may assemble motor vehicles or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. The structure of a vehicle includes the body color, length, width, height (four rigid standards), and relevant technical parameters of the engine. Below is more related information: 1. Vehicle Modification: Vehicle decoration relates to the safety performance of the vehicle, and modifications may have an even greater impact on safety. When performing vehicle decoration or modification, one should fully understand its impact on the vehicle's safety performance. If applying to change the body color, replace the body or frame, Car Accessories Home recommends that the owner fill out the "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form" at the vehicle management office and submit the required legal certificates and proofs. The vehicle management office will decide whether to approve or deny the modification within one day of receiving the application. If the modification is approved, the owner must submit the vehicle for inspection within ten days after the modification. The vehicle management office will confirm the motor vehicle within one day of receiving the application, reclaim the original driving license, and reissue a new one. For body or frame replacements, the office will also verify the imprint of the vehicle identification number (frame number) and retain the origin certificate of the body or frame. 2. Penalties for Illegal Modifications: According to the relevant provisions of the Ministry of Public Security's "Motor Vehicle Registration Measures," changing tire specifications, modifying the intake system, or modifying the exhaust system of in-use vehicles are not permitted modifications under national regulations. If modifications affect driving safety, the owner of the illegally modified motor vehicle will be fined 500-1,000 yuan and ordered to restore the vehicle to its original condition.

What is Tire Data?

Tire data includes the manufacturer's logo, ply rating, maximum load and corresponding air pressure, and production number. Here is more relevant information: 1. Ply Rating: Ply rating refers to the nominal number of cord layers in the tire rubber, which may not exactly match the actual number of cord layers. It is an important indicator of tire strength. The ply rating is marked in Chinese, such as 12-ply, or in English, such as "14P.R" meaning 14-ply rating. 2. Tire Performance: Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions. During driving, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance. Additionally, they require high wear resistance, flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

What does car trip A mean?

The trip on the car dashboard represents the sub-total mileage, which can be used to record the kilometers traveled for each trip. Here are the relevant details: 1. Specific meaning of trip A: The trip represents the mileage before the current stage is reset to zero. If you want to restart recording the mileage, you can long-press to reset it. The smallest unit of the sub-total mileage trip is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The manufacturer also provides this parameter, which is calculated by dividing the actual fuel consumption by the actual mileage traveled. 2. Significance of recording trip A: Fill up the tank before departure, and reset A and B to zero. From point A to point B, a total of 280 kilometers is traveled, at which point both A and B display 280. From tank A, 280 kilometers have been traveled. The distance from point A to point B is 280 kilometers.

How long after a car has been painted can it be washed?

If the painting was done in a paint booth, you can wash the car as soon as it is driven out, because the car has already stayed in the booth for 3 to 4 hours. If the painting was done at a professional shop, you can wash the car when the staff hands it over to you, as professional shops follow standard painting procedures, and washing the car after painting will not affect the finish. If the car was painted and picked up on the same day, it is recommended to wait 2 days before washing. Ensure sufficient ventilation and humidity, and the car can be washed after 6 to 7 hours. If the paint has dried completely, you can wash the car after two days. Below is more related information: Precautions: At lower temperatures, it is recommended not to wash the car for a week, as the fresh paint is still fragile. Washing the car may cause external dirt and sand to scratch the clear coat on the paint surface during the cleaning process. Generally, after standard painting procedures, the paint can be touched after 2 hours, and the hardness of the paint surface reaches 80% after 24 hours, at which point the car can be washed.
