Methods to reset the tire pressure light on the Volkswagen New Bora: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: This method uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then the tire pressure data for each tire is displayed. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of both the above systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and incorporating a 4-wheel indirect system.

What is the standard for tire tread replacement?

Tire tread replacement standard is that when the tread depth reaches the limit value of 1.6mm, it must be replaced. Tire tread depth standards: Tread depth greater than 3.5mm is in good condition, 2.5~3.5mm is normal condition, less than 2.5mm indicates the need for replacement, and when it reaches the limit value of 1.6mm, it must be replaced. Methods to check tire tread: Check using the tread wear indicator blocks on the tire itself. When the raised portions on both sides of the groove are flush with the indicator blocks, the tire needs to be replaced promptly; or use a tire tread depth gauge to check.

What Are the Causes of Steering Lock Failure?

Common causes of steering lock failure include abnormal operation of the steering column lock motor, circuit faults in the steering column lock motor, data corruption, and insufficient vehicle battery power. The specific details are as follows: Abnormal operation of the steering column lock motor: The steering column lock is driven by a motor. If the motor fails, it cannot drive the lock pin, resulting in a failure to lock. The solution is to replace the motor's brushes or the entire motor assembly. Circuit faults in the steering column lock motor: An open circuit in the steering column lock motor's wiring prevents current from passing through the motor. The solution is to first use a multimeter to locate the open circuit and then reconnect the break point. Data corruption: Data corruption in the electronic steering lock control unit can prevent it from outputting signals or cause incorrect signal output. The solution is to replace the electronic steering lock control unit. Insufficient vehicle battery power: Insufficient power in the vehicle battery prevents current from reaching the steering column lock motor. The solution is to recharge the vehicle battery or replace it with a new one.

Can the insurance of a transferred vehicle be claimed normally if the insurance is not transferred?

Can the insurance of a transferred vehicle be claimed normally if the insurance is not transferred? Reasons why claims can still be made without transferring the insurance: After the vehicle is transferred, the new owner inherits the rights and obligations of the original policyholder. Therefore, as long as the vehicle has been transferred before the accident occurs, regardless of whether the insurance has been transferred, the actual policyholder at the time of the accident is the current owner, who can file a claim with the insurance company. Vehicle transfer: It refers to the change of the vehicle's ownership name. After the vehicle is transferred, the owner should also update the road maintenance fee, purchase tax, and insurance policy. This can be done with the original vehicle registration certificate.

Where are the high beams located?

High beams are located at the front of the vehicle. Turning high beams on and off: The high beam switch is the light lever on either side of the steering wheel. Push the lever toward the front of the vehicle to turn on the high beams, and pull it back to turn them off. The high beam indicator is displayed on the car's dashboard. On the dashboard, the high beam symbol shows straight light rays without any tilt. How to use high beams: High beams should only be used when there is no other light around. For example, when driving at night on highways without streetlights or in rural areas without streetlights, you can turn on the high beams to expand your field of vision.

Can a car operate normally after removing the catalytic converter?

A car cannot operate normally after removing the catalytic converter. Reasons why it cannot operate normally: Oxygen sensors are installed both before and after the catalytic converter. The oxygen content in the front is higher than that in the rear. After removing the catalytic converter, the oxygen sensor will detect an excessively high oxygen concentration, indicating that the filtration effect has not been achieved. The electronic control unit will then interpret this as the air-fuel mixture being too lean, leading to an increase in fuel injection, which makes the mixture too rich and increases the car's fuel consumption. Catalytic Converter: It is a device used in cars to purify exhaust gases. It enhances the activity of exhaust components, converting some harmful substances in the exhaust into harmless substances that are expelled from the vehicle, thereby reducing atmospheric pollution. Since it does not participate in the reaction itself, it neither gets consumed nor ages. However, it is often damaged during daily use, mainly in three forms: catalytic converter poisoning failure, catalytic converter clogging, and catalytic converter breakage.

Why Does the Brake Make Abnormal Noises When Turning?

Reasons for abnormal brake noises when turning: poor quality brake pads, foreign objects entering the brake disc, severe wear of the brake disc, severe wear of the brake pads, rust on the brake disc, etc. The following is a detailed analysis: Poor quality brake pads: If the brake pads installed are not provided by a reputable manufacturer or are of inferior quality purchased by the owner themselves, the overly hard material can cause a squeaking sound when braking and also damage the brake disc. Therefore, it is advisable to replace the brake pads with genuine ones at an authorized 4S shop. Foreign objects entering the brake disc: When driving on complex road conditions, the wheels can easily fling stones or other foreign objects. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes can trap stones between the brake pads and the brake disc, causing abnormal noises when braking. Severe wear of the brake disc: Sometimes, the brake disc can be directly scratched by foreign objects or hit by other objects, leaving pits on the surface. When the brake pads rub against an uneven brake disc, it can also produce squeaking noises. Severe wear of the brake pads: After driving for a certain period, the brake pads will thin out due to prolonged friction. Overly thin brake pads not only reduce braking effectiveness but also cause abnormal noises due to the hardening of the material. Rust on the brake disc: Years of exposure to wind and rain can cause the brake disc to rust. However, this situation is not a cause for concern, as stepping on the brakes a few times will wear off the rust layer on the brake disc.
