Two rows of numbers are displayed on the odometer, one showing the total mileage of the vehicle and the other showing the trip mileage. The trip mileage can be reset during use, allowing the owner to calculate fuel consumption and the distance between two locations. Below is additional information about the car odometer: 1. In daily life, odometer tampering is commonly seen in used cars, where the mileage is often halved to increase the resale value. Some dealerships may even reset the odometer of demo or display vehicles to "zero" and sell them as new. When purchasing a car, consumers should verify the vehicle's history through other means to avoid buying a problematic car, especially when purchasing used vehicles. The odometer should not be the sole method for assessing a car's condition. 2. Some new car owners may also tamper with the odometer, primarily to extend free maintenance services by repeatedly altering the mileage within the warranty period. However, such practices are not recommended, as unauthorized odometer adjustments are prohibited.

Why Does Audi Cars Burn Engine Oil?

Here are the reasons why Audi cars burn engine oil: 1. Negative Pressure Engine Design: Most automobile manufacturers design their engine crankcases with positive pressure, meaning they appropriately control the exhaust of internal engine gases, maintaining a certain pressure inside the crankcase. However, Audi models feature engines with a negative pressure design. During engine operation, the crankcase is in a vacuum state, causing excessive crankcase exhaust gases to enter the engine's intake system. While expelling these exhaust gases, some atomized engine oil within the crankcase also enters the intake manifold along with the exhaust, leading to higher engine oil consumption. 2. Engine Carbon Deposits: Due to the difference in fuel quality between domestic and international standards, a large amount of carbon deposits can easily form in the combustion chamber during engine operation. Carbon deposits are the root cause of various engine problems. They accumulate in the piston grooves, causing the piston rings to stick together. This prevents the piston rings from sealing completely, and the 'stuck' piston rings significantly reduce their oil-scraping and sealing capabilities. Additionally, sludge can clog the oil return holes, preventing engine oil from returning normally, which increases oil consumption and results in the phenomenon of Audi cars burning engine oil.

Where can I check a vehicle's emission standard?

Vehicle emission standards can be found on the back of the environmental compliance label or through professional websites. Here's an introduction to vehicle emission standards: 1. Definition: Vehicle emission standards refer to national regulations established to limit harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). 2. Standards: China's national emission standards differ from European standards. The national standards are tailored to China's specific conditions, while European standards are common among EU member states, with European standards being slightly stricter than China's. 3. Countermeasures: To reduce these harmful emissions and encourage manufacturers to improve their products, both Europe and the United States have implemented relevant vehicle emission standards.

Is it necessary to install a steering wheel cover?

If the grip of the steering wheel is not unbearable, it is not recommended to install a steering wheel cover. Here is some relevant information: 1. Aesthetics: Steering wheel covers come in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and styles, which can significantly enhance the otherwise monotonous interior of a car. 2. Improved grip: For certain models with lower positioning and relatively cheaper prices, manufacturers tend to cut costs as much as possible, which is reflected in the steering wheel's cheap materials and less comfortable grip. The introduction of a steering wheel cover can greatly improve this issue. 3. Potential hazards of steering wheel covers: Due to defects in workmanship and materials, different steering wheel covers may lack sufficient friction with the steering wheel, leading to safety hazards such as slipping or not following the hand when turning the steering wheel with the cover on.

Can a Repaired Tire Be Used for Long-Distance Travel?

If the tire has been repaired due to a puncture in the tread area caused by a nail, it can still be used normally for highway and long-distance travel. However, if the tire has been repaired due to severe damage or a sidewall rupture, it is not advisable to use it for highway or long-distance travel, as this could be dangerous. Tires are made of rubber, and it is relatively common for them to be punctured by sharp objects while driving daily. If a tire is punctured, it should be repaired immediately. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Overinflated Tire: If the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground will decrease, which can affect the tire's grip. Reduced grip will also decrease the vehicle's handling and driving stability. 2. Underinflated Tire: If the tire pressure is too low, the tire may experience wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, increasing the risk of a blowout and reducing the tire's lifespan.
