Audi A3 requires approximately 3.5 to 4.0 liters of engine oil. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Taking the 2021 Audi A3 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4351mm, width 1815mm, height 1458mm, with a wheelbase of 2630mm and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The 2021 Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving an Audi A3, and when changing the oil, the amount usually ranges between 4 to 5 liters, depending on the engine model. For the 1.4T, a little over 4 liters is sufficient, while the 2.0T requires around 5 liters. Once, I accidentally added too much oil, which resulted in increased oil pressure, the engine running hotter, and faster oil consumption—costing me a few hundred bucks to fix. Now, I always check the oil level with the dipstick when the engine is cold to ensure it doesn't exceed the midpoint, protecting the engine from wear and making driving more fuel-efficient and worry-free. During regular maintenance, always remember the correct amount—the manual spells it out clearly. Don’t just take random advice that could affect your car’s lifespan and performance. With proper care, driving it for seven or eight years shouldn’t be a problem.

How Long Does It Take for a New Car to Have No Formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde cannot be completely eliminated; only its concentration can be reduced. Generally, it takes 1-3 months to reduce formaldehyde levels in a new car. Here are some relevant tips for using a new car: Avoid Overloading: Carrying too much weight during the break-in period can damage mechanical components. Since the power transmission parts of a new car have not yet fully broken in, aggressive acceleration can cause irreversible damage. Therefore, it is essential to follow the principle of "slow and steady" during the break-in period. Speed Limit: Domestic cars typically have a speed limit of 40~70 km/h, while imported cars are generally limited to 100 km/h. When the throttle is fully open, the speed should not exceed 80% of the maximum speed. During the break-in period, the engine speed should be maintained between 2000~4000 rpm.

Why can't the battery be fully charged?

The reasons why the battery cannot be fully charged: Battery lifespan expired: If the electric vehicle cannot be charged, the first consideration is the battery lifespan issue. Generally, the battery lifespan cycle is 2-3 years, and the main factors determining lifespan are related to the user's usage habits. Perform daily proper battery maintenance. Fuse blown: If the internal fuse of the battery is blown, the battery will have no power. Professional repair is required at a maintenance shop. Poor contact: When there is poor contact between the fuse tube and fuse holder, the electric vehicle battery may also fail to charge or not charge fully.

What is the Difference Between Forging and Casting?

The distinction between forged and cast wheels mainly lies in the manufacturing process, cost, and weight. Different Processes: In terms of mold selection, cast wheels use sand molds, while forged wheels use steel molds. Cast wheels undergo natural cooling followed by machining processes such as deburring, surface finishing, and polishing. Forged wheels, on the other hand, are shaped through stamping before undergoing machining. The casting technology determines performance. From a performance perspective, forged wheels are stronger and lighter, while cast wheels offer better filling properties, fewer shrinkage cavities, and higher density. Different Costs: The casting process is simpler and relatively lower in cost, whereas forging involves more complex procedures, resulting in higher manufacturing costs. In terms of pricing, forged wheels of the same model are typically much more expensive than low-pressure cast wheels. Different Weights: Forged wheels require continuous stamping to take shape, which results in a very tightly packed molecular structure after forming. This allows them to withstand higher pressure, making forged wheels lighter in weight compared to cast wheels of the same size and strength. In summary, forged wheels have a more precise manufacturing process, making them superior to cast wheels. As a result, high-end vehicles often opt for forged wheels.

What are the procedures and precautions for new car inspection at the testing site?

The procedures and precautions for new car inspection at the testing site are as follows: 1. First, visually inspect the body paint surface to check for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. Observe the paint under sufficient sunlight to see if there is any color difference. Open the doors and adjust them to different angles to allow light to shine from various directions, checking if the sheet metal is smooth and if there are any signs of repair. 2. Check the vehicle identification plate, which is located on the side of the driver's door or in the engine compartment. Pay attention to whether the manufacturing date is too far in the past. If it exceeds six months, the car is likely a stock vehicle or a test drive car. Also, ensure that the information on the identification plate matches that on the vehicle certification. 3. Inspect the windshield. The numbers represent the most recent production year, and the dots indicate the production month. If the dots are on the left side of the number, it means the windshield was produced in the first half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 7 to get the specific year. If the dots are on the right side, it means the windshield was produced in the second half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 13 to get the specific year. If the windshield's production date is far from the car's production date—by a year or more—it is likely that the windshield has been replaced. 4. Open the engine hood and check if the engine compartment is clean. If the car has been stored for a long time or used, some areas may have noticeable dust or stains. Also, check if the engine oil level is sufficient and if other fluid levels are within the acceptable range. 5. Open the doors and check if they open and close smoothly and flexibly, with no noise from the hinges. Ensure the gaps between the doors and the front and rear bumpers are consistent and that the doors can be closed in one motion. 6. Check the production date of the tires. Since tires are purchased separately, their production date will naturally differ from the car's production date, which is not a major concern. However, if the tire production date is significantly older than the car's delivery date, it is worth noting. 7. Test the basic functions of the car, such as whether the windows roll up and down properly, the air conditioning cools, the air vents emit any unusual odors, the dashboard functions operate normally, the windshield wipers work, the lights turn on correctly, and the sunroof opens and closes smoothly. 8. Test drive the car if allowed. Observe whether the engine idles smoothly, the steering wheel vibrates noticeably, the front and rear seats shake significantly, or if there is any unusual noise inside the car.

BYD F3 Disabling the One-Minute Auto-Lock Feature

Disconnect the power for 15 minutes, then reconnect to see if it resolves the issue. Alternatively, after unlocking the door, insert the spare key within 15 seconds, turn it to the ON position to illuminate the dashboard (note: only illuminate the dashboard without starting the engine), and then turn it off for 10 consecutive cycles to force disable the feature. You can refer to the key markings: OFF-ACC-ON-START, where OFF-ON and ON-OFF count as one cycle. The working principle is as follows: 1. Integrated chip; most electronic car anti-theft devices contain an integrated chip with internal switches that output a positive voltage to the drive circuit when an external trigger voltage is applied, activating the actuator and alarm circuit. 2. External voltage; the external voltage is applied via sensors or switches, ensuring concealment and tamper resistance. 3. Interconnected circuits; factory-installed anti-theft systems in electric vehicles operate similarly to electronic anti-theft devices but with interconnected circuits primarily designed to lock the system. 4. Network-based anti-theft; these systems offer enhanced functionality compared to electronic anti-theft devices, including sending alerts to the owner's phone and the ability to lock the system. Phone-based GPS can locate the vehicle within a specific range.
