Volkswagen Golf batteries should be replaced every 2-3 years. Below are some relevant guidelines regarding battery usage: 1. Maintenance: If the car is left unused for an extended period, the battery will gradually discharge on its own. Therefore, it is advisable to start the car periodically to recharge the battery. 2. Usage: Continuously using the starter when starting the car can damage the battery due to excessive discharge. The correct method is to limit each starting attempt to no more than 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the car fails to start after multiple attempts, check other potential issues such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. 3. Precautions: Regularly inspect the battery's positive and negative terminals for signs of oxidation. You can pour hot water over the battery cable connections occasionally to prevent oxidation.

Does a Full Car Polish Cause Significant Damage?

Occasional full car polishing once or twice does not cause damage, but it is not recommended to do it frequently as polishing may thin the car paint. Notes on polishing are as follows: Use coarser abrasives: The key to operating a polishing machine is to achieve the maximum polishing rate to quickly remove the damaged layer caused by grinding. Coarser abrasives are required to ensure a higher polishing rate to eliminate the grinding damage layer, but the polishing damage layer is also deeper. Rough polishing: The goal is to remove the grinding damage layer. This stage should have the highest polishing rate, with the surface damage caused by rough polishing being a secondary consideration, but it should still be minimized as much as possible. Fine polishing: The purpose is to remove the surface damage caused by rough polishing, minimizing the polishing damage.

Can a driver's license be processed online?

Driver's licenses can be processed online. The relevant introduction to driver's licenses is as follows: Legal document: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities after a person who is legally permitted to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination. It permits the holder to drive a certain type of motor vehicle. Permit: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle at will may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, people cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have already acquired safe driving skills, the document that allows them to drive vehicles on the road is the 'driver's license,' which indicates that the driver's license is a 'permit.'

What are the reasons for a car not starting despite having power?

There are several reasons why a car may not start despite having power: Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission vehicles, it is likely that the gear is not in the P (Park) position. Most vehicles are factory-set to prevent ignition if the gear is not in P, primarily for safety reasons—to avoid the car lurching forward if the gear is in D (Drive) or R (Reverse) when starting. Brake pedal not pressed: This design is also for safety. The solution is to press the brake pedal while starting the car. Steering wheel locked: This is an anti-theft feature of the car. If the steering wheel is turned after the engine is turned off, the car's computer may interpret this as a potential theft attempt and activate the anti-theft system. In this case, not only will the car fail to start, but the steering wheel will also be locked.

Will riding an electric vehicle illegally deduct points from a C1 license?

Electric vehicle violations generally do not deduct points from a C1 license, depending on the specific traffic regulations violated. Penalties for non-motor vehicle violations: If the electric vehicle driven is not classified as a motor vehicle, penalties will only be imposed as per non-motor vehicle violations. Since non-motor vehicles do not require a driver's license, there is no concept of point deduction. Exceeding the standard for electric bicycles: If the electric vehicle driven exceeds the national standard for electric bicycles, it is classified as a motor vehicle. In such cases, points will be deducted from the C1 driver's license according to the scoring system for road safety violations. Regulations for electric vehicles: According to national technical standards for non-motor vehicles, the maximum speed of an electric vehicle must not exceed 20 km/h, the weight must not exceed 40 kg, and the battery voltage must not exceed 48V.
