Replace the filter every 20,000 kilometers: It is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter after driving 20,000 kilometers. If the local air environment is particularly harsh, with frequent sandstorms or smog, replacement can be advanced to 10,000 kilometers. Generally, the air conditioning filter should be replaced every 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers. If the local air quality is very poor, it is advisable to replace the filter earlier.

Can I Get a Loan to Buy a Motorcycle?

Buying a motorcycle with a loan is possible. Generally, there are two methods for obtaining a loan: 1. Credit card installment payment: Bring your income proof and ID card to the bank to apply for a credit card. After receiving the credit card, go to the motorcycle shop and pay the full amount by swiping the card, then you can take the motorcycle away. After that, call the bank's service hotline to apply for installment repayment, and simply deposit money into the card each month to repay the loan. The advantage of this method is that no down payment is required, and there is no direct relationship with the motorcycle shop. Later, you only need to repay the credit card. 2. Installment payment at a motorcycle dealership: Usually, you first sign a vehicle purchase contract at the motorcycle shop and pay a deposit, then go to the bank to complete the procedures, including providing documents and signing the loan details. If there are no issues, the bank will issue a loan approval letter to the motorcycle shop within about 5 working days. Then, you can pay the down payment and take the motorcycle. After that, you only need to make regular repayments (principal + interest).

How to Turn on the Fog Lights on an Old Passat?

Here’s how to turn on the fog lights on an old Passat: 1. Location: The fog light switch on the older Passat models is located on the left side of the dashboard, and the fog lights can be turned on or off by pressing the button. 2. Usage: With the automatic headlights, low beams, or parking lights turned on, pressing the fog light switch button will toggle the fog lights. 3. Purpose: Fog lights are essential for illuminating the road ahead and ensuring driving safety under adverse weather conditions such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or in environments filled with smoke or dust. In recent years, fog lights have often been integrated into the front bumper for design purposes. The inner shield of the front fog light blocks the light emitted by the filament toward the upper part of the reflector, creating a clear cutoff line in the light distribution—darker above and brighter below. The upper edge of the light pattern should be as dark as possible within the visible area, while the bright lower area should have a horizontal diffusion angle of 50° to the sides, forming a wide lateral bright zone. This ensures both non-glaring illumination and optimal lighting conditions for safe driving.

Can I take the car driver's license and motorcycle driver's license tests at the same time?

The car driver's license and motorcycle driver's license cannot be taken at the same time. Here are the details: 1. Regulations on obtaining a driver's license. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security, motorcycle and car driver's licenses cannot be taken together. There must be at least a one-year (one scoring cycle) interval between them. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' you cannot apply for two types of driver's licenses within one year. You can only take one of them first. 2. Conditions for applying for an additional license. Only after passing the one-year probation period of the driver's license and without accumulating 12 penalty points within that year can you apply for an additional license. After passing the test, the applicant must receive at least half an hour of safety education on civilized driving and traffic accident case warnings, and participate in the traffic law license oath ceremony. After completing the procedures, the vehicle management office will issue the license. When applying for an additional license, the original driver's license must be surrendered before a new one is issued.

What type of gasoline does the Porsche 718 use?

Porsche 718 uses 95-octane gasoline. This model is equipped with turbocharged engines across the entire lineup, so it requires a minimum of 95-octane gasoline. Gasolines with different octane ratings have varying levels of octane; the higher the octane rating, the greater the octane value, and the better the anti-knock performance of the gasoline. Turbocharged engines operate under high pressure and temperature within the cylinders, necessitating the use of higher-octane gasoline to prevent knocking. Otherwise, the engine is prone to knocking. Extended information: Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. When the piston is in the compression stroke, moving upward to compress the air-fuel mixture, the pressure and temperature of the mixture increase. If the gasoline's anti-knock properties are poor, the mixture may ignite prematurely. The burning mixture would then push the piston downward while it is moving upward, leading to reduced engine power and potential engine damage. Severe knocking can even cause connecting rod deformation or piston fracture. Therefore, when refueling, it is essential not only to choose reputable gas stations with high-quality fuel but also to select the correct gasoline octane rating. Avoid small, unreliable gas stations with inferior fuel quality to save money, as prolonged use of such gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits in the engine. Excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chamber can also contribute to engine knocking.
