Instructions for using the wipers on the new Volkswagen Polo: Pushing the wiper lever forward or backward controls the front wipers, lifting it upward activates the front windshield washer, while pressing it downward controls the rear wiper. Pressing it down one notch turns on the rear wiper, and pressing it down further activates the rear window washer. If the rear wiper is continuously operating, lifting the lever upward once will turn it off. Here are some specific details about the wipers: 1. Wiper maintenance: Regular cleaning is required. Like other parts of the car, the wipers also need to be cleaned, and debris should be removed promptly. The front end of the wipers tends to accumulate debris, so regular inspection and cleaning are necessary. 2. Wiper speed settings: There are three speed settings: fast, medium, and slow. Observe the wiping speed of the wipers at each setting and check whether the wipers can maintain the same range of movement at different speeds.

I've been driving the Volkswagen New Polo, and the wiper switch is located on the right-hand steering column stalk. It's super easy to operate: pull the stalk once for intermittent wipe mode, and you can adjust the speed with the knob on the stalk head; push it up one notch for slow continuous wiping; push it two notches for fast wiping; pull the stalk down to spray water and wipe a few times, cleaning the windshield. On heavy rainy days, I use the fast mode, while for light rain, I adjust it to intermittent to save wear on the wiper blades. Remember not to let the wiper blades dry wipe, as it can damage both the glass and the wipers. Test the wipers before it rains to ensure they're working properly. When spraying water, make sure there's enough washer fluid. New cars might need original factory fluid to avoid clogging. Regularly check the wiper blades for cracks, and it's recommended to replace them every six months or so to extend their lifespan. Safety first—clear visibility is the most important thing for a more worry-free drive.

What is the Emission Standard of the Great Wall Florid?

According to the official introduction of Great Wall Motors, the Great Wall Florid complies with the China IV vehicle emission standard. As of November 2019, the Great Wall Florid has been completely discontinued. Since July 1, 2019, China has begun to implement the China VIA vehicle emission standard in some cities. It is expected that after 2020, the China VIB vehicle emission standard will be implemented nationwide. Compared with the China V vehicle emission standard, the China VI vehicle emission standard reduces carbon monoxide emissions by 50%, making it more low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

If you want to purchase a China V vehicle, you can only buy a used one. The Florid is a small hatchback produced by Great Wall Motors. The new car's guide price is 60,900-66,900 yuan, while used ones cost 15,000-30,000 yuan.

Does frequent stalling harm a manual transmission?

There is almost no harm, and the impact is minimal. It's similar to an engine start-stop system, where the engine frequently shuts off and restarts. The only difference is that one is a normal shutdown, while the other is abnormal. There are a few minor, often overlooked effects. First, the engine experiences a certain degree of shock. Normally, it rotates smoothly, but when a sudden force stops it from rotating, the engine stalls instantly. Because this force is so abrupt, the crankshaft can suffer some impact. Second, after being forced to stall, there may be more unburned gasoline in the cylinders, which can lead to carbon buildup. However, the effects are minimal because the engine is restarted immediately, and the unburned fuel is consumed upon restart. Sometimes, restarting might be difficult due to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, but this can be resolved by gently pressing the accelerator while starting the engine.

What is multi-cylinder misfire?

There are many causes of engine misfire, which can be mainly divided into the following two aspects: 1. Damage to external components: mainly caused by components around the combustion chamber such as valves, valve seat rings, valve guides, and spark plugs. Usually, check the spark plugs, clean the carbon deposits on the intake and exhaust valves, and inspect the turbocharger for any issues, such as wear or burning of the turbocharger impeller. 2. Misfire caused by the failure to ignite or delayed ignition of the mixture in the cylinder: This is usually due to an abnormality in a certain component or part, causing the ECU to regulate the engine unstably, failing to meet the theoretical value calibrated by the ECU, resulting in misfire.
