There is one spark plug per cylinder, so a 3-cylinder car has 3 spark plugs, and a 4-cylinder car has 4 spark plugs. A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, pole spark plugs, and surface gap spark plugs. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage wires in the firing order, and then snap the cover back into place.

Do Automatic Cars Require Clutch Pedal Operation?

Automatic transmission vehicles do not have a clutch pedal and thus do not require clutch operation. They only feature two pedals: the brake pedal on the left and the accelerator pedal on the right. Automatic transmissions primarily rely on the hydraulic torque converter's fluid coupling principle to perform gear shifts automatically. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions, making gear changes safer. Automatic cars have six gear positions arranged from top to bottom: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). Working principle of automatic transmissions: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Automatic transmissions typically consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Types of automatic transmissions: There are two main types of automatic transmissions used in vehicles. One is the stepped automatic transmission, and the other is the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The most commonly used in passenger cars is the mechanical CVT, which utilizes a V-shaped metal belt or chain to transfer torque between the driving and driven pulleys with V-shaped grooves. This transmission type is typically employed in smaller vehicles.

How to Conduct Annual Inspection for a Backdoor Vehicle?

First, settle any traffic violations and pay the fines. If the vehicle requires an out-of-town annual inspection, you need to apply for an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization in advance, specifying the vehicle management office where the inspection will take place. During the annual inspection, bring the vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the triangular warning sign. Some locations may also require the vehicle owner's ID card. If the vehicle has unresolved traffic violations, an expired annual inspection, a lost vehicle license, or an unrenewed compulsory traffic insurance policy, these issues must be resolved before proceeding with the inspection.

What kind of oil should be added to an Audi A4?

Audi A4 requires 5W-40 oil. Here are the detailed instructions: 1. The original factory oil used in Audi A4 complies with VW standard 502-00 and has a viscosity of SAE-5W-40. 2. Approximately 5L of oil is needed for maintenance replacement. If the maintenance is not performed at a 4S shop, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the oil used is of inferior quality. 3. The operation of the Audi A4 engine is highly efficient, with a high compression ratio that results in higher internal engine temperatures. Using oil with a higher viscosity value can protect the engine and cool the components to reduce the operating temperature. 4. The Audi A4 is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Compared to a naturally aspirated engine, its engine structure is more compact and the operating environment is more demanding, requiring higher-quality oil. It is advisable to use lubricants with better fluidity and preferably fully synthetic oil.
