Volkswagen rear wiper turning off method: The switch for the rear wiper on a Volkswagen is located on the right side of the steering wheel. To turn off the rear wiper, push the wiper lever behind the steering wheel forward. The wiper assembly includes components such as the motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. When the driver presses the wiper switch, the motor starts, and the motor's speed, through the torque-increasing and speed-reducing action of the worm gear, drives the swing arm. The swing arm moves the four-bar linkage, which in turn causes the shaft mounted on the front bulkhead to swing left and right. Finally, the shaft drives the wiper blades to sweep across the windshield. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, with brands such as Audi and Volkswagen under its umbrella.

Why Are the Rear Wheels Particularly Hot?

Reasons for the rear wheels being particularly hot are as follows: Rotation Issues: Manually rotate the inspected wheel several times to check if the rotation is smooth and if there are any unusual noises. If the rotation is not smooth and there is a friction sound, it indicates an issue with the braking system; if there is no noise but the rotation is uneven and intermittently tight and loose, it suggests a problem with the bearing. When these abnormal conditions occur, the wheel hub should be disassembled for inspection. Braking Issues: Inspection of the braking system. Typically, when inspecting the wheel hub bearings, the wheel braking mechanism is also checked. If there are oil stains on the inner side of the tire, it is likely caused by leakage from the brake wheel cylinder or brake fluid line, which should be addressed.

What is the reason why a motorcycle cannot start when in gear?

Motorcycle cannot start when in gear for the following reasons: Idle speed issue: Sometimes it cannot start due to low idle speed. Normally in summer, the tachometer needle should point to one mark or slightly more, while in winter it should be adjusted to between one and a half to two marks. Spark plug problem: Replacing it can solve the issue. Sometimes the spark plug can be flooded with fuel. Check if the spark plug head is oily or wet, which can also prevent the motorcycle from starting. Cold weather in winter: This often leads to difficulty in starting. In the warmer climate of the south, unless there is a fault with the motorcycle itself, starting issues are rare. In northeast China during early spring or late autumn when temperatures drop below 0°C in the morning, the engine oil becomes viscous, making it difficult to start.

Does the loss of a motorcycle nameplate affect the annual inspection?

The loss of a motorcycle nameplate does not affect the annual inspection. If the nameplate is lost, you can apply for a replacement at a vehicle 4S store by providing documents such as the driver's license, the owner's ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate. For specific details, you can contact the local 4S store. New regulations for motorcycle annual inspections in 2021: According to the Road Traffic Law, motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles, and motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections within the specified period from the date of registration. The inspection period for motorcycles is as follows: within 4 years from the date of registration, inspections are required every 2 years; after exceeding 4 years, inspections are required annually. The 6-year exemption from inspections only exempts the vehicle from the inspection line, but the inspection cycle remains unchanged. That is, for the first four years, you need to visit the vehicle management office every two years to collect the inspection label (the vehicle does not need to go). After three exemptions from the inspection line, you need to visit annually thereafter (the vehicle must go).

Will a Dual-Clutch Transmission Slip During Acceleration?

Vehicles equipped with dual-clutch transmissions may experience jerking or slipping sensations during acceleration, which typically improve as speed increases. This issue is usually caused by a malfunction in the dual-clutch transmission. Dual-clutch transmissions are categorized into dry and wet types. Simply put, a dry dual-clutch relies on dry friction and air cooling for heat dissipation, while a wet dual-clutch is immersed in engine oil, which facilitates cooling through oil circulation. The dry dual-clutch is more prone to problems. Its advantages include a simple structure and low maintenance costs, but its disadvantages are also evident: due to its reliance on air cooling, it has poor heat dissipation and a high failure rate. The solution for a slipping dry dual-clutch is to replace the clutch assembly. If your vehicle is still under warranty, you can file a claim at a 4S dealership, and the manufacturer will replace it free of charge.

How Many Years Until a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle is Mandatorily Scrapped?

How to Reactivate a Loose ETC?

ETC reactivation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays 'Bluetooth On'. If it shows 'Tag Invalid' when inserting and removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on top of the electronic tag to turn on the Bluetooth function. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click on device connection and wait patiently for the 'Connection Successful' prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. ETC installation positions: For small vehicles such as cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device are installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the middle lower part.
