Volkswagen has many different types of vehicles, and the amount of engine oil to be added should be determined based on the actual situation. It is recommended to add the oil in multiple small increments to avoid overfilling, which could damage the engine. Examples: For the Volkswagen Tiguan, usually about 4L of engine oil is added; for the Volkswagen Tayron, approximately 5.5 liters of engine oil is typically added. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Choosing Engine Oil for Volkswagen: Volkswagen vehicles should use engine oil products that meet the VW502.00 standard or higher, meaning the oil should have a dynamic viscosity greater than 12 at 100°C and a high-temperature high-shear viscosity greater than 3.5 at 150°C.

How many kilometers should the timing chain of the Tiguan be replaced?

The timing chain of the Tiguan should be replaced every 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers. During this period, the owner should have it inspected at a professional repair shop. If the timing chain is severely worn or there are other engine issues, timely repair and replacement are necessary. The timing chain drive system offers reliable transmission, good durability, and space-saving benefits. Its main function is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate times to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. Signs of timing chain failure include engine noise, weak starting, increased fuel consumption, increased oil consumption, severe exhaust emissions, sluggish acceleration, the engine's yellow warning light, and insufficient power, among other issues. Methods for inspecting the timing chain: Check the timing chain for elongation, wear, or breakage. If there is minor damage, replace it immediately. Use a spring scale to measure the elongation of the chain in three or more places. If it exceeds the usable length, it should be replaced promptly.

How to Remove ETC Device Without Damaging the Film?

The following methods allow for perfect ETC removal without damaging the car film: 1. Use a hairdryer's hot air: Direct heat at the contact area between the OBU device and the windshield. The adhesive tape on the back of the device will soften when heated, reducing its stickiness. Gently twist and remove the OBU device by hand or use a plastic scraper to slowly pry it off. 2. Use a hot towel: Soak a towel in hot water and place it on the outside of the windshield to heat the adhesive tape on the back of the OBU device. Wait for the tape to soften before removing the device. 3. Utilize sunlight to heat the adhesive tape: On a hot, sunny day, park the car in an open area to expose the device to direct sunlight until it softens, then remove it. 4. Visit the ETC service center for professional assistance: Staff can spray some tar remover and use a plastic scraper to gradually remove the OBU device. Note: Once the OBU device is detached, the anti-tamper button on the back will pop up, rendering the ETC device label invalid. The owner must visit the service center to reactivate the ETC for continued normal use.

How to Buy Points for a Driver's License?

Points for a driver's license cannot be bought or sold, as it is illegal. Below are the steps to handle a driver's license that has been deducted 12 points: 1. Process at the traffic police station within 15 days: If a driver's license is deducted 12 points within a year or at once, the driver must go to the traffic police station within 15 days to handle the matter. If the driver fails to do so within 15 days, the traffic police station will publicly announce the revocation of the license online. 2. Reapply and retake the driver's license test: Within 15 days, the driver needs to take the study voucher issued by the traffic police station to the local vehicle management office to complete the study procedures. After paying the fee, the driver must study for 7 consecutive days and then take the theoretical test (Subject 1) at the driving school designated by the vehicle management office. 3. Pass the test to retrieve the license: Upon passing the test, the driver can use the pass notification to retrieve the license from the traffic police station. The deducted points will be cleared, and the driver can continue to drive. If the driver accumulates more than 24 points (i.e., two instances of 12 points) within a year, the second time will require passing both Subject 1 and Subject 3 tests before the license can be retrieved.
