First, clean and dry the area where the vehicle identification number is located. Then, evenly apply red ink paste over the vehicle identification number. Place a transparent adhesive tape over the vehicle identification number. Stick it onto a white sheet of paper. Finally, cut out the vehicle identification number. Then, crumple a relatively new piece of carbon paper into a ball and rub it back and forth over the flat surface of the engine number. Place the rubbing film over the engine number and use a smooth tool to scrape with appropriate pressure in one direction until the number is clear. Finally, peel off the rubbing film and attach it to the document. After stacking the carbon paper and white paper together, press them firmly against the engine and frame. Then, press down on the white paper with your fingers to create a rubbing of the number. Cut it out and paste it onto the registration form.

How to Replace the Air Filter on a Mercedes-Benz A200L?

Use the prepared tools to open the cover on the air filter box. After opening the hood, you can see the air filter box. The old air filter is inside the air filter box, and you can see it by opening the cover. When determining whether the filter needs to be replaced, you can directly take the filter out of the air filter box, which is more convenient. If the air filter is not dirty, it can still be reused after cleaning with an air gun. If the filter is damaged or too dirty, it is best to replace it with a new one.

What to Do When the Air from Car Air Conditioner Smells Bad?

The best solution is to choose an open, sunny environment, open the car doors, turn on the external circulation to the maximum, or use the heater for 5-6 minutes. The air conditioning filter should generally be replaced once a year, but if the air conditioner is used frequently or the external environment is extremely poor, replacing it every three months is also feasible. It is recommended to go to a professional maintenance company for an air conditioning cleaning. During the cleaning, a special air conditioning cleaner is sprayed at the blower while the air conditioner is turned on.

How to align the timing chain of the G4NA engine?

The camshaft gear also has three marks: two groove marks aligned with the cylinder head plane, and the dot on the gear aligned with the black chain link on the timing chain. The TDC mark on the crankshaft gear should be aligned with the mark on the oil pump. First, rotate the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) of the first cylinder piston. You will see alignment marks on the timing gears. Rotate the camshaft so that the first cylinder cams are in the position where the valves are closed. Then, locate a round hole at the front and check the housing to find the alignment mark.

How to Set Up the BMW 740's Reversing Mirror Tilt Feature?

Start the engine and ensure the mirror adjustment switch is set to the "Left" position. You must have the correct seat memory function enabled. Recall the seat memory to reset the right mirror to its memorized position. Move the mirror adjustment switch to the "Right" position, shift into R (Reverse) gear, manually adjust the right mirror to the desired "tilt position," then shift back to N (Neutral) gear. Shift into R gear again to test. The right mirror should now tilt to the previously adjusted position. Shift back to D/N/P gear to complete the setup.
