Last time I changed the air filter for my Audi A6L, it went quite smoothly, and doing it myself saved me several hundred yuan. First, make sure the engine is turned off and cooled down to avoid burning your hands. Open the engine hood, and the air filter box is usually located on the left front side, typically a plastic box secured with screws or clips. Use a Phillips screwdriver or simply twist the screws or release the clips with your fingers, but don’t apply too much force to avoid damaging them. Once the cover is open, you’ll see the old filter—just gently pull it out, being careful not to shake dust into the engine. Clean the inside of the box with a dry cloth or vacuum to remove any debris, ensuring it doesn’t affect the new filter. Insert the new filter in place, making sure the edges are properly sealed and it’s not crooked. Finally, put the cover back on, tighten the screws or press the clips firmly, and test the engine to ensure everything runs smoothly. This job is really simple, and checking it monthly can help protect the engine from issues, saving fuel and keeping it quiet.

Can a Truck Run Without Urea?

Truck (i.e., freight vehicle) can continue to run without urea, but it needs to be replenished as soon as possible. The following impacts will occur if a truck runs without urea: The urea pump is prone to crystallization and clogging: If a truck runs without urea for a long time, the circulating urea pump nozzle, pipelines, and urea pump are prone to crystallization, clogging, or high-temperature damage. Torque will be limited: If a truck runs without urea, the emission light will turn on, torque will be limited, resulting in insufficient power, and the truck will feel sluggish. Annual inspection will fail: A truck without urea will fail the annual inspection and may face penalties. Urea has a catalytic function for large vehicles. Adding urea is necessary for vehicles with diesel engines because diesel engines emit harmful nitrogen oxide gases, causing environmental pollution. Long-term inhalation of such exhaust gases poses significant harm to human health. To reduce this harm, vehicles with diesel engines must use urea.

How long can the license plate be retained after a vehicle is scrapped?

After a vehicle is scrapped, if its license plate has been used on the original vehicle for more than one year, it can be retained for two years. This means the original plate number can be used for vehicle registration within one year. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles, allowing people to determine the vehicle's region of registration and access details about the vehicle's owner and registration information based on the plate number.

Are Coolant and Antifreeze the Same Thing?

Coolant and antifreeze are not the same thing. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze functionality. As the name suggests, it has two main functions: first, antifreeze, and second, cooling. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Many car owners believe that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze should be used year-round. Coolant consists of three components: water, antifreeze agents, and additives. Depending on the type of antifreeze agent, coolant can be classified into alcohol-based, glycerol-based, ethylene glycol-based, and other types.

What does it mean when the auto start-stop indicator turns yellow?

When the auto start-stop indicator turns yellow, it indicates that the function is turned off. If it's green, it means the function is normally activated and working. Auto start-stop, or engine auto start-stop, is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal to stop and shift to neutral. At this point, the start-stop system automatically detects that the engine is idling and not in gear, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates there's enough energy for the next start. When these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops rotating.

Is Higher Octane Gasoline Always Better?

Higher octane gasoline is not necessarily better. The octane rating of gasoline is not related to the purity or quality of the fuel. The octane rating indicates the gasoline's resistance to knocking, meaning that higher octane gasoline burns more slowly and is less prone to premature ignition, making it more suitable for engines with higher compression ratios. Conversely, engines with lower compression ratios require lower octane fuel. When choosing gasoline, drivers should not simply opt for the highest octane available but should instead follow the recommended octane rating specified in their vehicle's manual and consider the engine's compression ratio. For example, if a car designed to use 92-octane gasoline is filled with 95-octane fuel, the higher anti-knock properties of the 95-octane fuel will not be fully utilized. This can lead to "delayed combustion," where the fuel does not reach its auto-ignition point by the time the engine compresses it, resulting in incomplete combustion, increased pollution, and fuel wastage.
