It is necessary to go to a professional auto repair shop or 4S store and have the staff clean it with professional equipment. More information about the charcoal canister is as follows: 1. Function of the charcoal canister: The charcoal canister is the most critical device in the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP), responsible for collecting and storing gasoline vapors. 2. Causes of charcoal canister clogging: The return pipe of the charcoal canister is located at the rear wheel position, making it prone to absorbing dust when driving on dusty roads, which can lead to clogging over time. 3. Preventing charcoal canister clogging: Under normal use, the charcoal canister will not be damaged, and generally does not require special maintenance. However, if the fuel quality added to the car is too low, it may affect normal operation.

How to Adjust Rearview Mirrors for Reverse Parking in Subject 2?

First, adjust the right rearview mirror so that the upper edge can see the rear door handle, while ensuring the front door handle is in the middle of the mirror, with the car body occupying 1/4 of the mirror's area. When reversing into the parking space, sometimes there is no line in front of the parking space in the test area, and you can only see the bottom line of the parking space. In this case, you need to look at the left rearview mirror. The front handle should be in the middle of the mirror's vertical position. When reversing, look at the left rearview mirror, and stop when you see the front door handle aligned with the bottom line of the parking space.

How to Restart After Stalling a Manual Transmission Car?

What is the safest method for running battery cables into the cabin?

Route the cables from the firewall near the co-pilot's air filter to the engine bay, cover with heat shrink tubing and corrugated conduit, connect to a circuit breaker and fuse holder, then to the positive terminal. Inside the cabin, connect to a relay, control the relay switch, run the cables along the plastic housing of the co-pilot's footwell to the co-pilot's seat, and connect the wiring to the co-pilot's seat. Connect the positive and negative 16-gauge power cables to a two-in-one-out splitter, then connect the original power cables from the thick padding of the center armrest to the splitter to complete the wiring.

How to Handle Small Car Paint Scratches?

After noticing the scratched area on the car paint, observe whether it is located on the front bumper, rear bumper, or other parts of the vehicle. Generally, the front bumper, rear bumper, and fuel tank cover of a car are made of plastic, and the paint layer is relatively thin. If the scratch is minor and you don't want to go for professional repair, you can purchase a touch-up paint pen to handle it. However, if the scratch is on metallic or pearl paint, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop for a spray paint treatment. Typically, 4S shops perform spray painting on the entire panel.

What transmission does the Touran use?

The Touran is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This model series uses a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine across all variants, and the dual-clutch transmission is particularly well-suited for pairing with small-displacement turbocharged engines. The dual-clutch transmission is currently a highly popular type of transmission, developed based on manual transmissions. Its structure is quite similar to that of a manual transmission, with the main difference being that the dual-clutch transmission has one additional clutch and an extra set of gear-shifting control mechanisms. In a dual-clutch transmission, one clutch controls the even-numbered gears, while the other clutch manages the odd-numbered gears. This type of transmission connects to the engine via clutch plates, resulting in relatively high transmission efficiency.
