If it is a small scratch, you can apply car wax to the scratched area, then soak a towel in warm water and wipe the wax applied to the scratch repeatedly several times. This will remove the small scratch. Alternatively, you can use wet sandpaper for polishing. Prepare a sheet of wet sandpaper and a basin of water, soak the sandpaper in the water, take it out once moistened, and then gently sand down the fine scratches. For more severe scratches where the underlying primer color is visible, the treatment depends on the location of the damage. Generally, parts like the bumper, side mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and may not require repair. However, if these deep scratches appear on other parts of the car body, a paint touch-up will be necessary.

Is it serious if the coolant level is below min?

It is serious if the coolant level is below min, and it needs to be replenished promptly. The coolant reservoir usually has max (maximum) and min (minimum) level markings. If the coolant level is below min, it indicates insufficient coolant and requires immediate refilling. Below are the impacts of low coolant levels: 1. Affects heat dissipation: If not replenished and the vehicle continues to operate for an extended period, it will impair the radiator's cooling efficiency, failing to achieve proper cooling. This disrupts normal circulation, leading to overheating and, in severe cases, engine damage. 2. Causes engine failure: In cold climates, it may result in the engine or radiator freezing, leading to engine malfunction and rendering the vehicle inoperable. The optimal coolant level should be between the max and min marks.

What Causes Body Vibration at Idle Speed?

The reasons for body vibration at idle speed are: 1. Malfunction in the vehicle's ignition system; 2. Loose components in the ignition system; 3. Severe carbon buildup in the engine; 4. Aging engine components; 5. Excessive carbon deposits in the throttle body; 6. Untimely replacement of the air filter; 7. Excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors; 8. Issues with the ignition system; 9. Unstable oil pressure. Idle speed is not a type of speed but rather a working condition. When the engine runs without load, it is referred to as idle. When the engine is running and the accelerator pedal is fully released, the engine enters idle state. The engine speed during idle is called idle speed, which can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size and other factors.

How to Deal with Continuous Central Lock Alarm?

You can adjust the sensitivity of the anti-theft device on its control box, which is usually installed under the dashboard. After opening it, you will see a spiral knob that can be rotated to adjust the sensitivity. It is recommended to reduce the sensitivity to a level where kicking the tire does not trigger the alarm. When parking, it is advisable to use the silent mode of the anti-theft device. The device can still function without sound, as it operates through the control circuit. If the vehicle is started abnormally, it will automatically cut off power and trigger the audible alarm. If the anti-theft device detects vibrations and keeps sounding continuously, it may disturb others and drain the car's battery.

How to Read the Audi Oil Dipstick?

Check the oil level using the dipstick, with the ideal standard being that the oil level is between the upper and lower limits. Here is some relevant information: 1. Precautions: The recommended oil volume for an Audi A3 is between 3.5-4.0 liters. When adding oil, it's best to drain the old oil completely, then pull out the dipstick to check. Avoid overfilling, as excess oil can harm the engine. Adding around 3.8 liters is optimal. 2. Observation Method: The dipstick has upper and lower limit markings at its tip. Observe the portion wetted by oil. If the oil level is between the marks, the amount is correct. If it's above the upper limit, there's too much oil; if below the lower limit, there's too little, and you'll need to add an appropriate amount.
