The operation method of Passat windshield wipers is as follows: 1. Pull the lever toward the driver to activate the front wipers and spray washer fluid onto the windshield; 2. The default position is INT (intermittent mode), where the wipers automatically operate when the vehicle detects increased rainfall; 3. Push the lever upward to gradually increase the wiper frequency; 4. LOW indicates low-speed mode, while HIGH represents high-speed mode; 5. The OFF position is the shutdown switch—rotate to this position when not using the wipers. The Passat is a mid-size sedan under SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the 2020 facelifted 280TSI Business Edition (China VI) as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4933mm, width 1836mm, height 1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm.

Motorcycle: Charging or Refueling?

Motorcycles come in both electric charging and gasoline-powered types. Cost-effectiveness: An electric scooter typically has a maximum range of 50~60 kilometers per charge. Gasoline-powered motorcycles are more convenient for refueling, with a single tank lasting at least 100 kilometers for scooters. Performance: Electric scooters without speed modifications can only reach a maximum speed of 40~50 km/h. Current 110CC or 125CC motorcycles can exceed 80 km/h. Build quality and materials: Electric scooters generally have inferior build quality and materials compared to reputable brand motorcycles (excluding knockoff motorcycles). A well-maintained reputable brand motorcycle can last over 10 years with careful riding. In contrast, electric scooters typically become unusable within 3~5 years. Moreover, electric scooters often use substandard materials along with poor craftsmanship, posing potential safety hazards.

Why Can't I Check My Driving Test Scores After Getting the License?

Reasons for not being able to check test scores after obtaining the driver's license are as follows: Platform reasons: After receiving the driver's license, the platform no longer retains test scores. The learning phase has ended, and you are no longer in the "driving student" status. Online query scores will not be retained. Conversely, some people can still schedule exams after getting their license due to system not being updated or errors. License levels: Driving licenses are divided into 16 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, D, E, F, M, N, P. The sequence of vehicle types that motor vehicle drivers are permitted to drive is divided into: Large passenger vehicles, tractor-trailers, city buses, medium passenger vehicles, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for disabled people, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams.

Can Engine Coolant Be Replaced with Cold Water?

Engine coolant cannot be replaced with cold water for the following reasons: High-temperature damage caused by replacing coolant with water: In the early days when automotive engine technology was not as advanced, the cooling medium used in car engine radiators was indeed water—plain water or tap water—and it was commonly added and used this way. Therefore, in the past, it was often observed that after driving for a relatively long time, the water in the radiator would boil, a phenomenon commonly referred to as "boiling over." At this point, the engine could not function properly, and the vehicle had to be stopped to wait for the water temperature in the radiator to decrease, along with the engine temperature, before continuing to drive. Low-temperature damage caused by replacing coolant with water: In colder climates, the issue of freezing at low temperatures needs to be addressed. Some substances added to coolant include those that lower the freezing point, giving coolant a much lower freezing point than water. This ensures that even at temperatures below zero or as low as -20 degrees Celsius, the coolant will not freeze. Coolant prevents corrosion and scale formation: Compared to the earlier practice of using plain water for cooling, modern coolant contains additives that provide anti-corrosion and anti-scaling properties. During long-term vehicle use, especially for rubber and metal piping, the continuous exposure to high and low temperatures in the cooling cycle can lead to corrosion if coolant is not used. Over time, accumulated corrosion can easily cause leaks or damage to related pipes and components, rendering the cooling system inoperable and subsequently preventing the engine from functioning properly.

What are the reasons for the abnormal noise when raising and lowering the Civic's windows?

The abnormal noise when raising and lowering the Civic's windows can be attributed to two main reasons: Dirty or obstructed door window rubber tracks: The door window rubber tracks may be dirty or have foreign objects. Unless they have just been cleaned, the door window tracks of every car accumulate dust over time, which can cause abnormal noises when the windows are raised or lowered. Aging door window rubber tracks: The door window rubber tracks may have aged. After all, the door window tracks are exposed to sunlight and rain, and over time, they naturally deteriorate. When raising or lowering the windows, you may hear abnormal noises caused by the aged rubber scraping against the glass. Solution: In this case, you can temporarily use a rubber protectant to restore some elasticity to the rubber and reduce the noise from friction against the glass, but this effect only lasts for about ten minutes. The best solution is to replace the tracks.

Is Baopo Tire OEM by Bridgestone?

Baopo Tire is OEM by Bridgestone. Baopo Tire: Baopo Tire is produced in Shanghai. As the only component of a vehicle that comes into contact with the ground, tires are crucial for driving stability and safety. Being rubber products, tires need replacement after prolonged use. Replace Tires Every Four Years: Tires should be replaced every four years, even if the mileage is low, as tires aged four years will show clear signs of aging. Check the Production Date: It is essential to check the production date, which is usually marked on the side of the tire with a four-digit number. For example, 1019 indicates that the tire was produced in the 10th week of 2019. The shelf life of an unused tire is three years. If a tire has been in storage for more than three years, it should not be purchased.
