"Tricolor Strip" is an exclusive emblem for BMW's M performance vehicle series. Below are specific details about BMW's Tricolor Strip: 1. Overview: BMW's tricolor stripes from left to right are blue, violet, and red. Blue symbolizes the German state of Bavaria, derived from the color of their state flag; violet represents the fusion of BMW with motorsport; red stands for Motorsport, symbolizing racing. 2. Origin: The blue, violet, and red tricolor strip originates from BMW's high-performance sports sedan series—the M series. M stands for M-power, and M series sedans represent BMW's high performance and unique driving style.

As a die-hard BMW fan, the sight of the tricolor stripes gets me pumped because they represent the high-performance heritage of the M series. 'Random installation' refers to haphazardly mounting them or using low-quality products. While technically not immediately illegal, the issue lies in the cultural significance—the brand's history is deeply rooted in these stripes. Putting them on non-M models might make veteran drivers feel you're violating the family spirit. On my own car, I only added official decals on the sides without obstructing visibility; placing them too far forward, like on the hood, can cause wind lift or glare interference at high speeds. Online discussions abound, with people emphasizing the need to avoid misleading others, as the M badge is a hardcore indicator. Before installation, opt for strong adhesive materials and clean the surface—safety first. Modding cars is an expression of passion, but respecting originality makes driving more meaningful.

What are the components of the valve train?

The valve train consists of two groups: the valve drive group and the valve group. The valve drive group includes the crankshaft timing gear, camshaft timing gear, camshaft, tappet, push rod, rocker arm, valve clearance adjustment screw and lock nut, and rocker arm shaft. The valve group includes the valve, valve guide, valve spring, valve spring seat, valve oil seal, and valve seat. Content expansion: 1. When the camshaft rotates and the base circle part of the cam contacts the tappet, the tappet does not rise, and the transmission parts above the tappet do not move, because the valve is closed. 2. When the raised part of the cam contacts the tappet, it starts to lift the tappet, thereby opening the valve. When the highest raised part of the cam contacts the tappet, the valve reaches its maximum opening. 3. Subsequently, the raised surface of the cam in contact with the tappet begins to gradually decrease, and the valve starts to close under the action of the valve spring, reversely pushing the rocker arm and other transmission components, causing the tappet to move downward to maintain contact with the cam. 4. When the raised part of the cam leaves the tappet, the valve is completely closed.

Euro 6 Emission Standards?

Euro 6 standards are equivalent to China's National 6a emission standards. Below are relevant details: Limits: In terms of limit values, the National 6A phase limits are slightly stricter than the Euro 6 emission standard limits but more lenient than the U.S. Tier 3 emission standard requirements. The National 6B standard limits are roughly equivalent to the 2020 fleet average limits specified in the U.S. Tier 3 emission standards, making the National 6 standard one of the strictest emission standards in the world. Requirements: As an upgraded version of the National 5 standard, National 6 introduces enhanced environmental requirements across multiple dimensions. The National 6 emission standard is implemented in two phases: starting from July 1, 2020, all sold and registered light-duty vehicles must comply with National 6A limit requirements; from July 1, 2023, they must meet National 6B limit requirements. Framework: While Euro 6 standards are equivalent to National 6a, the National 6 standard framework retains the European standard system but also incorporates advanced practices from U.S. standards, such as evaporative emissions, fuel emissions, and onboard diagnostics system regulations.

What to Do When the Tiguan's Headlights Don't Light Up?

Tiguan headlights not lighting up are usually caused by a burnt-out bulb. In this case, simply replacing the bulb with a new one should solve the problem. If the headlights still don't work after replacing the bulb, it indicates an issue elsewhere in the vehicle. It is recommended to promptly visit an auto repair shop or a 4S dealership for professional inspection and repair to avoid affecting normal nighttime driving. Below is relevant information regarding headlight malfunctions: 1. Damaged Light Control Switch: If the light control switch is damaged, the headlights won't turn on when activated. If the headlight issue is caused by a faulty light control switch, repairing it simply requires replacing the switch with a new one. 2. Disconnected Wiring: If the vehicle frequently travels on bumpy roads, vibrations may cause the headlight wiring to become disconnected. In this case, reconnecting the headlight wiring is sufficient. 3. Dead Car Battery: If the car is left unused for a long time or the engine is left idling for extended periods after parking, the battery can easily lose charge. This may result in symptoms such as headlights not working and difficulty starting the car. In such cases, simply recharging the battery promptly should resolve the issue.
