Yes, Ducati is now owned by the Volkswagen Group, and I remember this clearly because I'm a seasoned motorcycle enthusiast. Back in 2012, Volkswagen acquired Ducati from an Italian investment firm with the aim of expanding its brand portfolio, much like Porsche or Audi under its umbrella. After the acquisition, Ducati retained its iconic Italian passion while leveraging Volkswagen's resources and meticulous craftsmanship to produce more reliable high-performance motorcycles. For instance, the latest Panigale series beautifully blends German engineering. This has been a win for fans—prices haven't skyrocketed, yet there's enhanced stability support, and regular maintenance has become far more convenient.

Does the Fista have a particulate filter?

Fista has a particulate filter. The particulate filter can reduce the particles in the engine exhaust emissions, recycle them, reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, increase the environmental protection of the vehicle, and reduce pollution to the atmosphere. To check whether the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter, you can use the following 3 methods: Check the "Owner's Maintenance Manual" and "Owner's User Manual" to see if there is a particulate filter function. In addition, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" fault light indicator. Check the label above the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means that a particulate filter is installed. Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter. Location of the particulate filter: The particulate filter is located behind the three-way catalytic converter and in front of the muffler, surrounded by the front and rear oxygen sensors.

How to Restart a Frozen Car Screen?

Here are the methods to restart a frozen car screen: 1. Restart: Turn off the ignition switch, disconnect the car's power for more than 5 minutes, then restore it. Turn on the ignition switch and press the restart button on the display screen for a few seconds to restart the display. 2. Software: Check if too many third-party apps are causing insufficient system memory, leading to freezing. Uninstall some third-party apps and delete unnecessary files before restarting. 3. Hardware: Determine if the issue is with the internal hardware of the display, such as faulty wiring or a motherboard problem, which can also cause freezing. If it's a hardware issue, the only solution is to visit a 4S shop or maintenance center for repair and inspection. 4. Car System: Check if the car system version is too old, leading to compatibility issues. In this case, you need to visit a professional 4S shop for an online upgrade of the car system.

What Are the Tips for Cleaning Yellowed Car Rims?

For yellowed car rims, you can use rim cleaning agents to clean them thoroughly. Precautions for cleaning rims: 1. When the rim temperature is high, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Never use cold water to clean, as this can damage the aluminum alloy rim or even deform the brake disc, affecting braking performance. 2. Using cleaning agents on aluminum alloy rims at high temperatures can cause chemical reactions on the surface, leading to loss of luster and affecting appearance. 3. If there is stubborn tar on the rim that is difficult to remove, try using a brush or toothbrush if regular cleaning agents are ineffective. However, avoid using overly stiff brushes, especially metal brushes, to prevent surface damage. 4. In areas near the coast or with frequent rainfall, rims should be cleaned more often to prevent salt corrosion on the surface. 5. If there are scratches or damage on the rim, it is recommended to refurbish and repair them promptly to prevent further corrosion, which can lead to tire leaks.

How to Deal with Water Getting Inside the Car?

If water gets inside the car, first, avoid turning on any electronic devices to prevent short circuits. Use a soft, dry towel to wipe down the wet areas. Remove and clean detachable interior parts such as floor mats and seat covers, then let them dry in the sun. If possible, use a fan to dry out the interior. It's also advisable to disinfect and deodorize the car interior. Bamboo charcoal or activated carbon can be used to purify the air inside the car. More related information is as follows: 1. Areas most affected by water: Generally, rainwater or water entering the car won't damage the vehicle or affect its mechanical systems, nor will it threaten the electrical system, as car circuits are protected by sheathed wires. 2. Areas less affected by water: The car's audio system may be affected depending on its location and whether it gets wet. After rain, it's crucial to quickly remove accumulated moisture inside the car to prevent mold growth. Dry the car's electrical components promptly after rain, and use a fan to dry the interior if possible to avoid short circuits in the wiring. Regularly check the drainage of the windshield's water channel to prevent water accumulation that could lead to engine flooding during rain.
