After car window tinting, you need to wait one month before reinstalling the ETC. The process for installing ETC in a car is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Sign Invalid" and "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly with your hand for 2-3 minutes to eliminate air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Where can ETC be installed: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the OBU device should be installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. ETC installation position requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters. The installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane).

What are the symptoms of a bad catalytic converter?

Symptoms of a bad catalytic converter: decreased engine power performance, increased fuel consumption, increased exhaust channel resistance, deteriorated emissions, engine mixture concentration disorder, difficulty in ignition or incomplete combustion, engine overheating, lack of engine power, and unpleasant exhaust odor. The catalytic converter is an important external purification device installed in the automobile exhaust system, which converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted by automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. When high-temperature automobile exhaust passes through the purification device, the purifying agent in the catalytic converter enhances the activity of the three gases CO, HC, and NOx, promoting certain oxidation-reduction chemical reactions.

How to Remove the ABS Sensor on a Passat Lingyu?

The ABS sensor is located at the inner side of the vehicle's knuckle hub and requires the removal of the wheel hub for clear visibility. The chrome-plated part of the sensor is inserted into the knuckle, with its wiring harness merging with the brake pad wiring harness, passing through the interior of the knuckle arm, and then entering the cabin through the rear of the wheel liner. During installation, avoid inserting it too deeply to prevent scraping the CV joint's tone ring, nor too shallowly, as this could cause the ABS to engage with light brake application.
