The adjustment method for the steering tie rod is as follows: 1. Adjust from the left and right tie rods of the steering gear. This means one side needs to be tightened while the other side is loosened, which will straighten the steering wheel. 2. If the steering wheel is off by just one spline tooth, you can also remove the steering wheel and rotate it by one tooth's angle. 3. If the left and right steering angles are different, and if a four-wheel alignment has been performed, the steering wheel angle difference will be minimal. Adjusting from the left and right tie rods of the steering gear will not significantly affect the steering angle. Additional Information: After replacing the tie rod, the toe-in value must be measured because the toe-in value is determined by the length of the tie rod, and each tie rod's dimensions may vary. Additionally, the connection between the tie rod and the tie rod end uses threaded connections, which cannot ensure consistent connection lengths.

Is the Q3 dual-clutch transmission dry or wet?

q3 is equipped with a wet dual-clutch transmission. The working principle of the dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission. Frequent gear shifting and partial clutch engagement during use can cause varying degrees of wear on the clutch. Additionally, if the control program is not well-matched at low speeds, it may result in phenomena similar to poor clutch and throttle coordination. The Audi Q3 is an SUV based on the same PQ35 platform as the Volkswagen Tiguan, with body dimensions of 4385mm in length, 1831mm in width, and 1608mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. In terms of exterior design, the Audi Q3 features an inverted trapezoidal hexagonal grille, which enhances its sense of strength. The position of the LED daytime running lights on the bumper has been eliminated, integrating them into the headlights as a whole. This design gives the front fascia a cleaner and more streamlined appearance.

Can BMWs be equipped without run-flat tires?

BMWs can be equipped without run-flat tires. The function of run-flat tires: Run-flat tires, technically known as "puncture-proof tires," address a very serious safety hazard—tire blowouts, especially on highways. Equipping vehicles with "run-flat tires" largely mitigates these safety concerns. Run-flat tires do not immediately lose all air pressure; due to their unique tire construction, they enable continued driving for a certain distance even when leaking air. Advantages of run-flat tires: The benefits of run-flat tires include the ability to drive 100-200 kilometers at a certain speed even when tire pressure is zero, high safety performance by preventing loss of control during high-speed driving due to sudden pressure loss, eliminating the need for a spare tire, and reducing fuel consumption.

Does adding a spoiler to a car affect the annual inspection?

Adding a spoiler to a car will prevent it from passing the annual inspection. If the vehicle's appearance does not match the photo on the registration certificate, the car cannot pass the inspection normally. Below are the relevant regulations regarding installing spoilers on cars: 1. According to the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations', if a registered motor vehicle undergoes changes in body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure, or if the frame, body, or engine is replaced, the owner must apply for a modification registration with the local vehicle management office. Installing a spoiler is generally not allowed in principle. 2. After modifying a car, it is necessary to update the registration certificate photo at the local traffic management office. Failure to do so promptly may result in penalties from traffic police. Modifications can also affect the annual inspection and may easily lead to traffic accidents, posing certain safety hazards. Therefore, modifying a car is not recommended.

Why does the Verano make a clanging sound when the door is opened after turning off the engine?

The reason why the Verano makes a clanging sound when the door is opened after turning off the engine: aging of the sealing strip. Reasons: When abnormal sounds are heard from the car door, it may be due to wear and tear on the door hinges or aging of the door sealing strip. Another possible reason is a malfunctioning door limiter. Some cars, due to prolonged use, may have rusted in certain areas, leading to doors not closing tightly and producing abnormal sounds. Solutions: Door abnormal sounds are mainly caused by a lack of lubrication. It is necessary to determine whether the issue is with the door hinge position or internal components such as the window regulator, door lock mechanism, or handle mechanism. Applying lubricating oil to the corresponding areas can help. You can visit a repair shop and ask a technician to clean the affected parts, apply some oil, clean the door limiter, and apply oil again. This should improve the situation.
