Last time I drove my Changan CS55 and the key fob ran out of battery, which was quite frustrating. Don't worry, there's a small metal piece on the key - that's the mechanical key. Take it out, align it with the lock cylinder on the driver's side door handle, insert it and give it a gentle turn to open the door. Once inside the car, even though the key has no power, there's an emergency induction area in the vehicle, usually located below the center console or near the cup holder. Just place the key directly on this spot and press it firmly so the car can detect the signal. Then press the start button and the engine will ignite. However, remember to replace the key battery promptly afterwards - just buy a button cell battery of the same model. It's easy to pry open the key casing and replace it yourself to prevent future issues. Also, regularly check the brightness of the key's indicator light - if it dims, replace the battery immediately to avoid embarrassment during long trips.

Are 5-seater SUVs eligible for 6-year exemption from inspection?

Private 5-seater vehicles are exempt from inspection within 6 years, but this does not mean that the inspection compliance mark does not need to be applied for within 6 years. Instead, they are exempt from online inspection within 6 years, but the motor vehicle inspection compliance mark must be applied for every 2 years. Below is more relevant information: Notes: 1. For the biennial regular inspection, the vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection mark after providing proof of compulsory liability insurance for traffic accidents and proof of payment or exemption from vehicle and vessel tax, without the need to undergo safety technical inspection at an inspection institution. 2. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic safety violations and accidents related to the vehicle. However, if the vehicle has been involved in an accident resulting in casualties, it must still be inspected according to the original inspection cycle. For vehicles registered for more than 6 years (including 6 years), they must still be inspected once a year as required; for those over 15 years (including 15 years), they must be inspected twice a year as required. The traffic management departments of public security authorities should set up windows for issuing inspection marks at municipal and county-level vehicle management offices, traffic management service stations, and traffic violation handling windows to facilitate the public in obtaining inspection marks quickly and conveniently.

Can 5000-grit sandpaper be used for car paint polishing?

5000-grit sandpaper can be used for polishing car paint. Generally, sandpaper comes in specifications such as 80, 120, 180, 240, 320, 400, 600, 1000, and 2000 grit. The higher the grit number, the finer the polishing effect, resulting in a smoother surface. Since 5000 grit is among the higher specifications of sandpaper, its polishing effect on car paint is undoubtedly trustworthy. Below is more relevant information: Precautions: 1. The polishing effect of 5000-grit sandpaper is not solely determined by the sandpaper itself; it is also greatly influenced by the polishing technique and method. If the technique or method is incorrect, it may not only fail to achieve the desired polishing effect but could also cause damage to the car paint. It is recommended to use toothpaste or polishing compound during the polishing process for better results. 2. Always pay attention to the polishing surface, controlling the pressure and duration of polishing. If you notice large areas of whitening on the car paint, stop immediately to avoid further damage. 3. Polishing car paint should not rely solely on sandpaper. It is advisable to use a specialized mechanical polisher for further treatment to achieve a better finish. Additionally, polished car paint becomes thinner, so applying a layer of paint over the polished surface is recommended. You can also wax the car's surface for added shine and protection.

Does the New Audi Still Burn Engine Oil?

New Audi still burns engine oil. Here are the specific details about the new Audi burning engine oil: New Audi burning engine oil: The previous generations of Audi did have quite severe engine oil burning issues, which affected many car owners to the extent that they had to keep a bottle of engine oil in the trunk for frequent top-ups. However, the third-generation EA888 engine has significantly alleviated the oil burning problem, and it basically does not affect usage anymore. Preventive measures for oil burning: Engine oil tends to corrode and age when exposed to high temperatures for prolonged periods, leading to thinning of the oil film and making it easier to enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion. Therefore, using high-quality engine oil can greatly delay this phenomenon. Extended data: Poor cylinder sealing is the main cause of oil burning: Poor cylinder sealing is mainly due to excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall, improper installation of piston rings, or poor sealing performance, which allows oil on the cylinder wall to enter the combustion chamber, causing fuel combustion.

Is It Normal to See Engine Vibration with the Naked Eye in a Volkswagen?

It is normal to see engine vibration with the naked eye in a Volkswagen. Here are the specific details about engine vibration visible to the naked eye in a Volkswagen: Engine Vibration: Whether the engine is cold or warm, you can see the engine vibrating when you open the hood during idle. Differences: The only difference is that the vibration is more severe when the engine is cold, while it is less noticeable when the engine is warm. However, inside the car, you may feel slight vibrations in the seat and steering wheel when the engine is cold, whereas when the engine is warm, the vibrations inside the car are almost imperceptible or very, very slight, nearly negligible. Additionally, yesterday, when applying a coating to the car, pressing on the front grille was noticed.

VW Bora Reverse Light Not Working

Here are the detailed explanations for the Bora reverse light not working: Possible causes for the Bora reverse light not working: If none of the lights are on, first check the fuse, then inspect the bulb and wiring. If all these are fine, the issue might be a faulty reverse light switch. Reverse light switch working principle: It is a normally open switch (normally disconnected). When the reverse gear is engaged, the mechanical mechanism presses down the switch contacts, closing the circuit, which turns on the reverse light and activates the reverse warning sound. When the reverse gear is disengaged, the switch contacts spring back, and the reverse light circuit returns to the disconnected state. The reverse light switch for tractors is usually installed on the transmission, triggered by a depression on the shift lever, as shown in the circuit diagram (Figure a). During operation, due to the continuous high temperature of the transmission, the internal insulating rubber of the switch is prone to aging and failure, and the switch capacity is relatively small. Under normal conditions, when the two large lights at the rear of the tractor and the reverse buzzer are working simultaneously, the current passing through the switch can reach 7A. At high temperatures, the contacts are prone to sparking and burning out. The original reverse light switch has a lifespan of only about one month. Due to the confined installation space, replacement is inconvenient and time-consuming.

How to Solve the High Water Temperature Issue in Pajero?

If the car's water temperature is too high, it is necessary to stop the vehicle promptly for cooling down, and then check whether the antifreeze in the engine is sufficient. Insufficient antifreeze can cause the car's water temperature to rise, and timely replenishment is required to maintain the water temperature within a relatively balanced range. The following are the reasons for high water temperature: Thermostat failure in the engine cooling system leading to high water temperature: Because the thermostat cannot open, the flow of coolant inside the engine is hindered, resulting in excessively high coolant temperature. Improper functioning of the cooling fan in the engine cooling system: This leads to poor heat dissipation of the coolant. Therefore, the water temperature light comes on, causing the coolant temperature to be too high. Failure of the water pump in the engine cooling system: The water pump does not rotate smoothly, leading to poor coolant flow. As a result, the water temperature light comes on, and the coolant temperature becomes too high.
