Start-stop batteries can last up to 5 years. Frequent use of the auto start-stop feature does affect battery lifespan, but most start-stop batteries are not conventional lead-acid batteries. They utilize a sulfuric acid aqueous solution as the electrolyte contained within glass fiber separators, making them a special type of battery with superior cyclic charging capability compared to standard batteries, thus offering extended service life despite requiring frequent charge-discharge cycles. AGM batteries, equipped with Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) technology, meet the demands of high-end vehicles and components. Compared to conventional batteries, AGM batteries boast triple the cycle life, making them ideal for start-stop vehicles and premium luxury cars. With outstanding performance, AGM batteries offer twice the lifespan of traditional flooded lead-acid batteries, deliver robust power output even under harsh conditions, and require no maintenance.

What are the length, width, and height dimensions of the Touareg X?

The body dimensions of the Volkswagen Touareg X are 4905 mm in length, 1989 mm in width, and 1719 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2980 mm. Vehicle Height: The distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle support plane. Vehicle Width: The distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle (excluding rearview mirrors, side marker lights, position lights, turn signal indicators, etc.). Vehicle Length: The distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. Wheelbase: The distance between two vertical lines of the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane when the vehicle is in a straight driving position, measured from the ground contact center points of the wheels on the same side of adjacent axles.

How to Determine Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Failure?

Automotive cylinder head gasket failure refers to the rupture of the gasket between the cylinder head and the engine block, also known as gasket burn-through. Common symptoms of a blown head gasket include: reduced engine power, sluggish vehicle performance, bubbling or boiling in the radiator, white or blue exhaust smoke, and abnormal noises. The manifestations of gasket burn-through are as follows: 1. Burn-through between two adjacent cylinders: The engine lacks power, the vehicle performs poorly, and acceleration is sluggish. When removing the air filter, a "popping" sound can be heard at the intake pipe opening during engine idle. 2. Burn-through connecting to the water jacket: Bubbles appear in the radiator, coolant boils over, and white exhaust smoke is observed. 3. Burn-through connecting to the oil passage: Some engine oil enters the combustion chamber and burns, resulting in blue exhaust smoke. 4. Burn-through connecting to the external atmosphere: The engine exhibits poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and produces loud popping sounds from the damaged gasket area.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure on a Cruze?

Cruze has a tire pressure reset switch on the side of the gear lever. With the ignition switch turned on, pressing this switch button can eliminate the tire pressure monitoring indicator. Below is a detailed introduction to the Cruze tire pressure monitoring system: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system uses the ABS sensing function to compare the rotation counts of the tires. Insufficient tire pressure shortens the tire circumference, causing the rotation count to differ from other tires during driving. 2. The Cruze tire pressure monitoring alerts based on the comparison of wheel speed sensor readings. Tire pressure can be checked using a pressure gauge. While driving, the tire pressure loss display monitors the tire inflation pressure. If the inflation pressure in a tire is significantly lower than others, the system will alert. When the internal tire pressure decreases, the working radius of the wheel changes accordingly, thus altering the wheel's rotation speed. 3. To obtain accurate tire fault information, the system requires the tires to have appropriate initial pressure. Initialization must be reset after each tire pressure correction, tire or wheel replacement, and when towing a car or after towing in trailer driving mode.

Can the license plate be retained after selling the car?

License plates can be retained. Here is the relevant information: 1. Required documents for retaining the license plate: Whether the car is scrapped or transferred, you can apply to retain the original license plate. The required documents include your ID card and a copy, the "Motor Vehicle Transfer or Registration Application Form", proof of compulsory traffic insurance, annual inspection certificate, whole vehicle factory certificate, proof of the vehicle's origin, import certificate for imported vehicles, proof of purchase tax payment, and all documents submitted during vehicle registration. 2. Conditions: If you want to continue using the original license plate, you need to check with the vehicle management office how long the transfer has been completed and whether it is still within the validity period. Within the validity period, you can apply to continue using the original license plate for both new and used cars. You just need to apply to the vehicle management office staff during the final step of selecting the license plate number.

What to Do When the Starter Doesn't Work?

The main reasons for the starter not working are: insufficient battery charge, and excessive resistance caused by poor wiring or connections, leading to reduced current. Here are the diagnostic methods for a non-working starter: 1. Use a conductor to bridge the two terminals on the starter switch. If the starter speed increases significantly, it indicates poor contact at the starter switch contacts, increasing resistance. If the starter speed does not change, check if the battery is sufficiently charged, if the brushes are excessively worn, or if the brush spring is too weak. 2. Local short circuits in the starter's armature coil or field coil can also cause the starter to lose power. Carefully inspect the starter circuit wires and connections. Poor wiring and loose, corroded connections will heat up due to increased resistance. 3. Mechanical faults inside the starter can also affect its normal operation. If the power supply, starter circuit, and starter switch are all intact, check for issues like friction between the armature and magnetic poles. 4. Under low-temperature conditions, the internal resistance of the battery increases, the terminal voltage drops, and engine resistance rises, which can also lead to symptoms of a weak starter.

Why is the tire pressure requirement for the Vezel so low?

Tire pressure should not be lower than the recommended value for half load, and not higher than the recommended value for full load. Within this range, adjustments can be made according to daily load, road conditions, and requirements for comfort, fuel consumption, etc. The tire pressure should be set according to the manufacturer's recommended value: The manufacturer's recommended tire pressure can usually be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label next to the driver's door, in the drawer next to the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The manufacturer's recommended tire pressure refers to the cold tire pressure: Measured after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or if the tires have not been driven more than 2 kilometers. If tire pressure must be measured when the tires are hot, subtract approximately 0.3 bar (=4psi) from the measured value to obtain the cold inflation pressure.
