Common methods include checking the mileage or the production date. A mileage between 10-30 kilometers is considered normal, and a production date within three months is also typical. Below is a detailed introduction to specific methods for determining if a vehicle is new: 1. Vehicle identification plate: The identification plate is located on the engine compartment wall or the front door frame. Check the production date on the plate; if it is within three months, the vehicle is considered a normal new car. 2. Exhaust pipe: Inspect the inner wall of the exhaust pipe to see if it has turned black. If a layer of black residue can be felt, it indicates the vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the normal range. 3. Tires: New tires have small, noticeable bristles, also known as tire hairs. These bristles are usually worn off after the vehicle has been driven 50 kilometers or more.

What does Volkswagen's air conditioning clean-air mean?

Volkswagen's air conditioning clean-air is an air purification function, including pollutants such as PM2.5. When the car owner turns on the internal or external circulation, the clean-air function will automatically activate. The air purification function can filter harmful gases, ensuring a clean air environment inside the car. Clean-air achieves air purification through the following materials: 1. Air conditioning filter with activated carbon: An additional activated carbon layer can adsorb more harmful substances on the filter, and the price of this filter is several times higher than that of a regular one. 2. Negative ion air purification: Plasma is generated through a high-voltage circuit, which destroys the protein membrane on the surface of bacteria, causing them to lose vitality and die, thereby achieving the goal of eliminating bacteria in the air.

What is the difference between coaxial speakers and mid-bass speakers?

The difference between coaxial speakers and mid-bass speakers lies in their reference and structure. Difference in reference: Coaxial speakers have two speakers mounted on the same axis, responsible for reproducing high and mid-low frequencies respectively; mid-bass speakers internally consist of magnets and coils that produce sound through vibration, making them an indispensable component in a sound system. Difference in structure: In coaxial speakers, the diaphragms of the two speakers also overlap, as their physical positioning approximates a point source; mid-bass speakers mainly include dual-cone, two-way, three-way, component, and subwoofer types. Component systems consist of separate tweeters, midrange units, and crossover networks, typically installed in the front doors of a car.

How to Remove Fishy Odor from Car Carpets?

To eliminate fishy odor from car carpets, use cleaning agents, soaking methods, etc. Methods: Shake off the dust from the carpet and lay it flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of cleaning agent on the carpet surface, then scrub repeatedly with a brush to remove stains. Rinse the carpet thoroughly to remove all water. When soaking the carpet in water, avoid leaving it submerged for too long—ideally no more than 15 minutes. After cleaning, rinse directly and dry in the sun. Note: When using a high-pressure water gun for rinsing, adjust the nozzle to a spray mode and avoid using high-pressure direct flow. Ensure the cleaning process is thorough; otherwise, residual detergent may become visible after drying, affecting the carpet's appearance.
