The fuel tank capacity of the Passat is 66 liters, and the fuel gauge is divided into 8 segments, so each segment represents 8.25 liters. Types of fuel gauges: Generally, there are two types: one is the mechanical pointer fuel gauge, and the other is the electronic fuel gauge. Mechanical pointer fuel gauge: This is the traditional fuel gauge, which senses the level of fuel in the car's tank through a fuel float and a pull wire, then feeds back to the dashboard, displaying the remaining fuel via a pointer. Electronic fuel gauge: This operates through electronic devices in the car's tank and the digital processing system of the driving computer, displaying information such as the remaining fuel and the car's driving range on the central control screen or dashboard.

Why is the Electric Power Steering Wheel Slow and Weak to Return?

Here are the reasons why the electric power steering wheel is slow and weak to return: 1. Insufficient oil pressure in the power steering pump, caused by insufficient power steering fluid or pump wear. If it's not power steering, first confirm the four-wheel alignment, and if there are no issues, proceed to check the steering clearance. 2. Wear on the steering switch return tab or the steering wheel return slot. 3. Every vehicle has angles such as front wheel toe-in and camber. When no force is applied to the steering wheel, the return force generated by the front wheels, if greater than the resistance of the mechanical steering wheel itself, will cause it to return automatically. When the angle is small, there is no return function, and speed should be considered—faster speeds make the steering wheel lighter and harder to control, with slight movements causing more significant deviations.

What Causes Backfiring in the Exhaust Pipe?

Regarding the causes of backfiring in the exhaust pipe, the following are the reasons: 1. Overly rich air-fuel mixture. An excessively rich combustible air-fuel mixture can cause backfiring in the exhaust pipe. At low engine speeds, the sound is heavy and unstable; at high engine speeds, the backfiring significantly improves or even disappears, which is a key indicator of backfiring caused by an overly rich mixture. 2. Excessive fuel level in the float chamber. This not only leads to an overly rich combustible air-fuel mixture but also allows some fuel to enter the cylinder without being fully atomized. The incomplete combustion in the cylinder then carries the fuel into the muffler, where it reignites, causing backfiring. 3. Insufficient ignition timing advance. Incorrect valve clearance in a four-stroke engine, burnt valves that fail to close tightly, excessive valve overlap angle, or incorrect installation of the timing gear can cause the exhaust valve to open too early, resulting in backfiring.

What is the maximum speed you can drive with a speed limit of 70?

Driving over 70 kilometers per hour when the speed limit is 70 kilometers per hour is considered speeding, meaning the maximum speed you can drive is 70 kilometers per hour. According to relevant regulations, if a motor vehicle violates the speed limit on the road, corresponding penalties will apply. Below is relevant information: 1. When a vehicle is speeding, the braking distance increases, and the driver must react quickly in emergency situations. If the reaction is not timely, serious traffic accidents may occur. Therefore, to ensure traffic safety, it is essential to strictly adhere to traffic rules. 2. According to Article 42 of the Road Traffic Law, motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On roads without speed limit signs, a safe speed should be maintained. When driving at night, on dangerous road sections, or under adverse weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or ice, the driving speed should be reduced. 3. Article 44 of the Regulations states that on roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane should maintain the speed specified for that lane. If they cannot reach the required speed, they should move to the slow lane. Motorcycles should drive in the rightmost lane. If there are traffic signs indicating the driving speed, vehicles should follow the indicated speed. When overtaking in the slow lane, motor vehicles may temporarily use the fast lane.

What does the SVS light mean?

SVS light on indicates that the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a certain sensor or that it has exceeded the usage standard. The reasons for the SVS light being on are as follows: 1. Poor engine combustion state, excessive wear. 2. Engine knocking. 3. Poor quality of car fuel. 4. The inside of the engine cylinder is not clean, with accumulated carbon deposits. 5. The electronic control unit cannot obtain engine data. Additional information: When the ignition switch is turned on, the car's SVS indicator light will light up for automatic inspection and will automatically turn off after a few seconds, which is a normal phenomenon. If the SVS light stays on, it indicates a fault in the car's electronic control system.

What Does Driver's License Registration Mean?

Driver's license registration means that the relevant information of the driver's license has already been registered in the traffic management system. In simple terms, it indicates that the driver's license has been produced, proving that the holder is qualified to drive the permitted vehicle type, but the physical license is still in the process of being mailed. Even if the driver's license shows as registered, you cannot drive until you physically receive the license. Typically, a 'registered' status means the license has not yet been collected from the vehicle management office or has not been delivered by mail. According to regulations, driving a vehicle on the road requires carrying both the vehicle registration certificate and the driver's license. Additionally, the car's windshield must display mandatory labels such as the annual inspection sticker, compulsory traffic insurance sticker, and environmental compliance sticker. Failure to comply may result in penalties. Consequences of driving with a 'registered' status license: If caught by traffic police, the vehicle will be impounded, and the driver will be asked to present the license. If the license is provided within the specified time, the driver will face a fine and a one-point deduction on their license, after which the vehicle will be returned. If the driver fails to provide the license, it will be treated as driving without a license, resulting in a fine and potential detention for up to 15 days.

What does the driving license subject 2 test include?

Subject 2 includes the following tests: 1. Reverse parking: During the reverse parking test, you cannot pause midway. Therefore, you need to flexibly control the vehicle speed while reversing and learn to use the rearview mirror to judge the parking space lines to avoid crossing the lines during the test. 2. Parallel parking: While driving, pay attention to your sitting posture as incorrect posture may affect your judgment of reference points. During reversing, you cannot cross the lines or pause midway. 3. Hill start and stop: When stopping at a designated point, failing to accurately locate the point may result in point deductions. During the start, the vehicle may stall easily. When performing the hill start operation, you need to control the clutch properly and release it slowly, as releasing it too quickly may cause the vehicle to stall. 4. 90-degree turn: Pass through the 90-degree turn slowly without stopping midway, as stopping will result in point deductions. During the turn, try to stay close to one side. 5. Curve driving: The purpose of curve driving is to enable learners to use the steering wheel flexibly.
