Volkswagen Lavida's official maintenance schedule suggests that transmission fluid replacement should be considered only after 60,000 kilometers. Key information about Lavida's transmission: 1. Transmission fluid replacement interval: Replace the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers. 2. Notes on transmission fluid replacement: Automatic transmission fluid cannot be completely drained using atmospheric pressure alone, which only removes about half of the old fluid. Therefore, manual intervention is required. 3. Do not mix old and new fluids: The old fluid must be thoroughly drained. Using fluids from other brands can lead to mixing of old and new fluids, which may cause chemical reactions over time and damage the transmission.

What to Do When the At-Fault Driver Doesn't Answer Calls?

The solutions when the at-fault driver doesn't answer calls are as follows: 1. Contact the insurance company: There's no need to contact the other party directly. The accident report contains both parties' license plate numbers and the name of the insurance company. You can directly contact the other party's insurance company. If the insurance company doesn't handle the claim, contact the traffic police department handling the accident to understand the process, which might be more troublesome than directly contacting the insurance company. 2. Civil lawsuit: If none of the above methods work, you may need to file a civil lawsuit. However, this involves a longer resolution time and costs such as litigation fees and attorney fees, making it very troublesome. This method is not recommended.

How to Determine the 30cm Distance Between the Car Body and the Roadside?

Methods to determine the 30cm distance between the car body and the roadside are as follows: 1. For sections with curbs: Observe the distance between the right side of the car body and the curb, and make adjustments. When the position of the right front door handle just covers the curb or is about to "touch" it, quickly straighten the car body. At this point, the distance between the car body and the curb is approximately 30cm. 2. Observe the sideline: Drive along the right sideline from the middle-right position of the engine hood. At this time, the right side of the tire is about 30cm away from the right sideline. 3. Observe the hood: Align the right 15cm of the hood center with the right sideline to ensure a 30cm distance, provided that the car body is already roughly parallel to the roadside. From the driver's position, align the position one fist-width to the right of the hood center with the sideline, then straighten the wheels and stop the car.

What do LH and RH mean in cars?

In cars, LH and RH represent left and right respectively. Here are more automotive-related terms: 1. 5V: The 'V' stands for the first letter of the English word 'valve'. Traditional car engine cylinders commonly use a 4-valve structure, i.e., 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves, ensuring sufficient and effective intake and exhaust, which is beneficial for increasing engine speed to achieve maximum power. The 5-valve technology has been widely adopted by foreign automotive companies, and the recently launched 'Bora' in China already employs this technology, featuring 3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. 2. ABS: This is the abbreviation for 'anti-lock-brake-system', translated in Chinese as 'anti-lock braking system'. It is a safety brake control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock. Cars without ABS may lock the wheels when the driver slams the brakes in an emergency, leading to dangerous situations like skidding, deviation, or loss of steering control due to the vehicle's momentum. 3. GPS: Short for Global Positioning System, its main functions include anti-theft, anti-hijacking, and navigation.

How to Deal with Water Damage in a Car's Computer?

Here are the steps to handle water damage in a car's computer: 1. Remove the battery: Quickly disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits in various electrical components due to water exposure; 2. Inspect the engine: Immediately check the engine, starting with whether water has entered the engine cylinders, as this can bend the connecting rods and damage the engine; 3. Check for water in the engine oil: Water in the oil can cause it to deteriorate, losing its lubricating properties and leading to excessive engine wear; 4. Remove the ECU: If the car's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) gets wet or damp, it must be removed as soon as possible. Wipe off any surface moisture, seal it in a plastic bag, and use a vacuum machine to extract all internal moisture.

Is it normal for a car to shake when starting after releasing the brake?

It is not normal for a car to shake when starting after releasing the brake. The specific causes and solutions are as follows: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Severe carbon buildup is the most common cause of car shaking, often due to a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the fuel injector during a cold start will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture and making it difficult to start. In this situation, the car will only start easily once the carbon deposits have absorbed enough gasoline to become saturated. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits will be drawn into the combustion chamber by the engine's vacuum, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. This fluctuation between lean and rich mixtures causes the engine to idle roughly after a cold start. Additionally, the lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits will further affect the smoothness of the cold start. The solution is to clean the fuel system and check if the idle control valve has carbon deposits that need cleaning. 2. Ignition system issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance in the ignition system or weak sparking from the spark plugs can also lead to this type of problem. The solution is to check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary.
