Full car paint refurbishment takes 7 days. Whole car sanding: Use 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper with circular motions to sand the original clear coat until it loses its gloss. Ensure even pressure across all areas, paying special attention to edges and corners. After sanding, use compressed air to remove dust in a top-to-bottom, inside-out sequence, being particularly careful to blow dust out of edges and crevices. Then wipe the surface clean with tack cloth, wash with purified water, and dry (do not use tap water as metal particles in the water can remain in the paint film and cause defects). Spraying preparation: The environment is crucial. Poor conditions will result in many defects after painting, and subsequent repairs will always affect the paint's gloss and other effects. Therefore, the environment should be clean, with minimal air circulation and low dust levels. The compressed air and water used must also be clean.

How many multiple-choice questions are there in Motorcycle Subject 4?

Subject 4 has 10 multiple-choice questions. Subject 4 consists of 50 questions, divided into true/false questions (1--20), single-choice questions (20--40), and multiple-choice questions (41--50). The test primarily uses case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is colloquially called Subject 4. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Failing Subject 4 does not require retaking the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). Applicants can schedule a retake on their own, and no additional fees are required for the retake. There are no restrictions on the number of retakes, but the driving skills test permit is valid for three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within this period, the passed subjects' scores will be invalidated.

What Maintenance Should Be Done at 50,000 Kilometers?

At 50,000 kilometers, routine maintenance is sufficient. The only additional item that needs inspection and possible replacement at this mileage is the brake fluid. Additionally, if the vehicle has an externally mounted fuel filter, it is typically recommended for replacement at 30,000 kilometers. If it hasn't been replaced yet, it should be done at the 50,000-kilometer mark. Below is a detailed overview of relevant car maintenance items: 1. Oil and Filter Change: The frequency should be determined based on the usual driving conditions. Under normal circumstances, the oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers, but in dusty environments, it should be changed every 3,000 kilometers. 2. Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement: Generally, brake pads last about 4-5 years or 40,000 kilometers, though wear can vary depending on driving habits, environment, and speed. 3. Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement: Spark plugs typically last 2-3 years or 20,000-30,000 kilometers. However, if the vehicle shows signs of power loss or acceleration shuddering, the spark plugs may need attention. 4. Throttle Body and Fuel Injector Cleaning: Over time, the throttle body and fuel injectors can accumulate dirt or carbon deposits, requiring periodic cleaning. Vehicles with over 50,000 kilometers should have these components inspected and cleaned. 5. Brake Fluid Replacement: Along with brake pads, the brake fluid should be replaced regularly, either in conjunction with the pads or based on mileage. 6. Tire Inspection, Including the Spare: Tires generally have a lifespan of four to five years. Even with low mileage, exposure to sunlight can cause aging, making regular checks essential.

What Causes the ABS Sensor Warning Light to Stay On in a Magotan?

ABS warning light can indicate various conditions, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: Condition 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding wheel speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle speed or the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the contaminants from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the tone ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal transmission due to loose connections in the system wiring or faulty ABS relay contacts. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. Condition 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As engine speed increases, voltage rises, and the ABS light turns off. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check battery specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine power supply components (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). Condition 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine start until the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body; faulty wiring connections at the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS control unit malfunction. Solution: Loosen and retighten the hydraulic valve body grounding screw, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check for enlarged connector gaps; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. Condition 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: The ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speed signals during high-speed driving; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's specified tire and wheel rim sizes, typically listed on the fuel filler cap sticker. Condition 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improperly adjusted brake light switch; internal contact issues in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal fully, manually push the brake switch linkage downward to its limit, then release the pedal to complete self-positioning; replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advisable to avoid continued driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, wheel lock-up may occur, causing loss of vehicle control and skidding, which prevents the driver from decelerating or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.

What is the mileage and time for the first maintenance of the Magotan?

The first maintenance mileage for the Volkswagen Magotan is 5,000 kilometers, with a maintenance interval of every 10,000 kilometers. The manufacturer provides one free maintenance service, which includes engine oil, oil filter materials, and labor costs. The Magotan's warranty period is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Notes: During summer, when temperatures are generally higher, gasoline and water evaporate more easily than usual. It is important to regularly check the radiator and fuel tank, and promptly refill them when gasoline or water levels are low. The car engine should be cleaned at appropriate intervals. Prolonged use can lead to the formation of a thick layer of carbon deposits on the engine surface, which can significantly corrode the rubber components in the engine.
