I know this well! Last time when I had to reset the maintenance light on my Audi Q3, here's how I did it: Start the car but don't press the accelerator. There's a VIEW button on the left side of the steering wheel—press it to access the service menu. Hold down the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel for 5 seconds, and the dashboard will display a reset option. Use the volume knob to scroll down to 'Reset Oil Change Interval,' then press OK to confirm, and you're done. For newer models with touchscreens, you can find the reset option in the vehicle settings under 'Service & Maintenance' on the central display. After completing the reset, remember to turn off the engine, lock the car, and wait for two minutes. If the yellow wrench light is still on after restarting, it's likely you'll need to visit the dealership to clear the fault code with their computer. By the way, some tuning shops can also reset it using an OBD scanner, but messing around with it yourself might trigger electronic system issues.

How to Remove Car Wrap Film?

Use brush cleaner to remove it. Brush cleaner can be purchased at art supply stores. Dip a paper towel in a small amount of brush cleaner and wipe gently; it will come off easily. For small adhesive residues, an eraser is suitable, though patience is required. Initially, the area may turn black, but it will gradually clean up with continued rubbing. Moisten a paper towel with some alcohol, preferably industrial alcohol. If unavailable, medical alcohol will also work. Wipe slowly at first, then rub a few more times to clean thoroughly. Apply some nail polish remover to a paper towel and wipe patiently. After some time, the area will be clean.

How to Deal with Slightly Deformed Motorcycle Wheel Rims?

If the deformation is slight, specialized testing equipment is needed to locate the exact position of the wheel rim deformation. Use heating tools to locally heat the deformed area of the wheel rim. Once the deformed area reaches a certain temperature, use wheel rim repair equipment to fix the deformation. After the repair is completed, test the wheel rim again to check for any remaining deformation. If none is found, the repair of the slightly deformed wheel rim is complete. If the wheel rim deformation is very severe, for safety reasons, it is necessary to replace the wheel rim directly.

How to Repair a Dented Wheel Arch?

Prepare various lever tools along with professional lighting, repair hammers, specialized leveling pens, etc. Use the visual effect of light refraction to determine the position and extent of the dent. Apply the principle of leverage to release the tension at the dented area of the car body, allowing the surface 'entropy' value at the dent to reach its maximum, thereby restoring the dented area to its original state. Use repair hammers and leveling pens to fine-tune the raised marks on the car body, smoothing the surface to perfection. Check under lighting or sunlight; if no flaws are visible, the repair is considered successful.

Should You Connect the Positive or Negative Terminal First When Jump-Starting a Car?

First, connect the positive terminals of both batteries, then connect the negative terminals. After starting the engine, disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. If the order is incorrect, the risk of a short circuit increases significantly, although it may not always occur—careful operation might prevent it. This is because the entire vehicle body is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, meaning every metal component can be considered part of the negative terminal. Below is relevant information: Jump-starting requirements: If directly replacing the battery, the order of disconnecting the terminals is the opposite of jump-starting—disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive terminal. During installation, connect the positive terminal first and the negative terminal last. This is to prevent a short circuit caused by a wrench touching the vehicle body during the process. Precautions: During routine maintenance, pay attention to the battery's condition. After parking, turn off all electrical devices in the car to avoid battery drain from prolonged inactivity, which may prevent the car from starting normally the next time.

What Are the Reasons for Failing to Start Even with a Jump Start?

Reasons why a car battery still fails to start even after a jump start: Battery depletion: If the vehicle has been parked for a long time without use, the battery naturally discharges, leading to depletion and the inability to start the vehicle; Insufficient current: The jump-start cables are too thin, resulting in inadequate current, improper operation during the jump start where the cables are not securely clamped or the rescue vehicle is not started, causing insufficient voltage and current; Other reasons: The vehicle's battery that needs a jump start has been depleted multiple times and can no longer hold a charge, indicating severe damage; The vehicle and the rescue vehicle used for the jump start were not kept in the off state; Check the sequence of connecting the jump-start cables—first connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle, then connect the negative terminal of the dead battery to the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle.

What is the difference between waxing and not waxing after several years?

Generally, after 3 years of use, the fading of a new car will become very obvious. If regular waxing is maintained, the car can still maintain a luster close to that of a new car even after several years. Here are the advantages of waxing: Easier car washing: Even with a small amount of car wash liquid, it is easy to remove dirt. This is because waxing makes the paint surface smooth, and the dirt on it is easier to remove, making regular car washing more convenient. Protection against minor scratches: Wax forms a thin film on the car, protecting it from scratches. When the car is in motion, stones and scratches may fly around the door handles. By wrapping the car in a film (coating), it can be protected from scratches.
