Why Does the Car Tend to Drift While Driving?

Driving experience is the root cause of the car tending to drift while driving. The control of the vehicle is still not in place, and a good sense of the car has not been established. To keep the car running in the middle of the lane, at least the following aspects must be achieved: 1. Adjust the correct sitting posture, with the wrist just resting on the top of the steering wheel, and the right foot still has a certain angle of bending when the brake is fully depressed. 2. While driving, the line of sight should be as far as possible, not just staring at the rear of the car in front. 3. While driving, the driver should look at the road and feel that he is sitting in the middle of the road, then the car is running in the middle of the lane. 4. When there are arrows on the road, feel that the person is sitting on the arrow, and the car is running in the middle of the lane.

What are the reasons for the Audi A6L having power but no response when starting?

Audi A6L fails to start due to: the ignition switch not being properly positioned or damaged, or a disconnected wire from the ignition switch to the starter relay. You can replace the ignition switch at an Audi 4S shop. The ignition system should operate in the engine's working sequence and must ignite at the most optimal moment. Symptoms of ignition system failure include: 1. Difficulty starting: Mainly manifests as trouble starting, normal idle, normal acceleration in neutral, occasional jerking when starting, and easy stalling when starting on a slope. 2. Engine misfire: Mainly manifests as no issues during idle and low speeds, but starts shaking after continuous high-speed driving for a period. 3. Engine shaking when parked: Mainly manifests as engine shaking when stopping at traffic lights. Increasing engine speed tends to stabilize operation. 4. Weak engine acceleration: Mainly manifests as difficulty starting when cold, followed by idle shaking, weak acceleration, and noticeably increased fuel consumption. 5. Engine fails to start: Mainly manifests as the starter turning but the engine not starting. 6. Jerking while driving: Automatic transmission shifts normally without any shifting impact, but the shift point is earlier than normal, with small amplitude, continuous jerking. Jerking starts at 40km/h and is most noticeable at 60km/h.
