Audi S4's oil level is displayed electronically and can be checked through the MMI system. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Steps to check the oil level in an Audi S4: First, start the vehicle, locate and press the 'car' button on the center console, then use the center console knob to navigate to the oil level option in the MMI menu. Press the knob to display the oil level. 2. The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that move and rub against each other: engine components move at high speeds in harsh environments, with operating temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. Only by using qualified lubricating oil can the wear and tear of engine parts be reduced, thereby extending its service life. 3. Oil also aids in cooling: while the engine is running, the oil carries heat back to the oil tank, which then dissipates it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. However, the actual cooling is done by the water outside the engine casing.

When checking the oil level of an Audi S4, first ensure the car is parked on a level surface with the engine completely turned off. Wait quietly for about five minutes to allow all the oil to drain back into the oil pan; otherwise, the reading won't be accurate. Then, sit in the driver's seat, access the vehicle menu on the dashboard or center console screen, and find the oil monitoring function. Tap into it and wait for the oil level to display as a number or graph. If it's between the min and max marks, that's good. If it's too low, add the same type of oil to prevent engine overheating and damage. Never check right after the engine has been running, as the high oil temperature can burn your hands and affect accuracy. I've developed a habit of checking monthly, especially before long trips, while also verifying the oil's shelf life. Always use the oil type recommended by Audi to avoid compatibility issues. These simple steps help keep the car running smoothly for longer, save on repair costs, and ensure peace of mind in daily driving.

What to Bring for Subject 4 Test?

For the Subject 4 test, you only need to bring your ID card; no other items are required. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing mark of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as 'Subject 4,' which evaluates 'driving ethics.' Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. If you fail the Subject 4 test, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retest on your own, and no retest fee is required. There are no scheduling restrictions, but the validity period of the driving skills test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the scores of the already passed subjects will be invalidated.

How Many Years Can Tires Last?

If the car is parked in a garage every day, the tire lifespan can be extended, typically lasting about 6 years. After 6 years, even if there are few cracks, it's best to replace them. For most vehicles, a tire generally lasts 5-6 years, and replacing it after 80,000-100,000 kilometers is appropriate. This ensures no danger due to aging and avoids wasting money by replacing too early. Below is relevant information about tires: Functions of Tires: Tires serve as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road surface, transferring driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling operations like driving, braking, and steering. Classification of Tires: Automobile tires can be divided into passenger car tires and truck tires based on their usage. They can also be categorized into pneumatic tires and solid tires according to their carcass structure. Composition: Tires with inner tubes consist of the outer tire, inner tube, and flap. Tubeless tires are similar in appearance and structure to those with inner tubes, but they lack an inner tube and flap. Air is directly pressurized into the outer tire, and the sealing is ensured by the outer tire and the rim.

How many temporary license plates can be applied for a new car?

A temporary license plate is valid for 15 days, and a new car can apply for a temporary license plate up to 3 times. This means that before the official license plate is issued, the car can rely on temporary license plates to run on the road for a maximum of 45 days. The following is relevant information about temporary license plates: Concept of temporary license plates: A paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use of a motor vehicle, also known as a temporary driving license plate. It refers to the temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the public security vehicle management department for newly purchased vehicles before they are officially registered. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. Classification of temporary license plates: There are 4 types: temporary license plates for administrative regions, temporary license plates for cross-administrative regions, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special-type motor vehicles. Driving a newly purchased car to apply for a temporary license plate, only to be stopped by traffic police halfway and deducted 12 points. In fact, applying for a temporary license plate does not require your car to be present; as long as the procedures are complete, the person can go alone.

What are the reasons for a car not cooling?

The reasons for a car not cooling are as follows: 1. Check for refrigerant deficiency: Car air conditioners generally require refrigerant replenishment every 2-3 years. Insufficient refrigerant leads to reduced cooling efficiency. 2. Damaged air conditioning flap: A malfunctioning air conditioning flap motor is a rare but possible issue. If the flap motor fails, it becomes problematic as it is typically located in the lower middle part of the dashboard, serving as the main switch for the air vents. A failure here means the switch is broken, and even if the air conditioner can produce cold air, it will only escape through gaps. 3. Dirty condenser: The primary purpose of cleaning the radiator and condenser is heat dissipation. During spring, poplar and willow catkins can clog the condenser, leading to issues like engine overheating or poor air conditioning performance. Therefore, after spring, car owners should check if the radiator is clogged with these fibers. When cleaning, ensure to first use an air gun to blow away debris before washing with a water gun to avoid counterproductive results, which could worsen air conditioning performance and increase fuel consumption. 4. Faulty throttle or expansion valve: Malfunctions in the expansion valve or throttle directly result in poor air conditioning performance. Diagnosing these issues is complex and typically requires professional repair services.
