Lavida is independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen, so Lavida belongs to Shanghai Volkswagen. The following are the differences between SAIC Volkswagen and FAW Volkswagen: Product positioning: SAIC Volkswagen's car models are basically positioned as mid-to-high-end cars, with well-known models such as Lavida and Passat, and their prices are naturally higher than those of FAW Volkswagen. FAW Volkswagen mainly focuses on mid-to-low-end vehicles, with popular models such as Jetta and Bora. Therefore, in terms of positioning, there are certain differences between the two. Different influence in the domestic market: SAIC Volkswagen was established in 1984, earlier than FAW Volkswagen in 1991, which means SAIC Volkswagen entered the domestic market earlier. Therefore, SAIC Volkswagen has left a deeper impression on Chinese people and has a better understanding of the needs of Chinese consumers compared to FAW Volkswagen, so its influence in the domestic market is also higher than that of FAW Volkswagen.

What Causes the High Water Temperature in BYD Vehicles?

The reasons for high water temperature in BYD vehicles include: 1. Cooling fan not working: The cooling fan may be controlled by a temperature control switch or a water temperature sensor. 2. Radiator blockage: External blockages should be removed with water or air; internal blockages can affect coolant circulation and create pressure, leading to two possible outcomes—either radiator leakage or particularly high water temperature during high-speed driving. 3. Water pump failure: The impeller may slip or jam, causing the timing belt to break, or the impeller may become deformed. 4. Cylinder damage: Combustion chamber and water channel issues may cause water or white smoke to discharge from the drain pipe, leading to frequent radiator water shortage; water channel and oil channel issues (oil mixed with water turns white); water channel and water channel issues, resulting in poor cylinder heat dissipation, especially noticeable at high speeds; or water channel blockage.

What causes the Volkswagen Tiguan to fail to start and display a brake fault?

Reasons and solutions for the illuminated brake system fault light in a car: 1. Severely worn brake pads: Brake pads come in two types—those with sensor wires and those without. For those with sensor wires, when the brake pads wear down to the limit, the sensor wire automatically completes the circuit, triggering the fault light. The brake pads need to be replaced. 2. Low brake fluid level: Insufficient brake fluid is often accompanied by noticeably reduced braking power, and in severe cases, a complete loss of braking force. In this situation, the warning light will illuminate. Simply replenishing the brake fluid in time will resolve the issue. 3. Brake system oil leakage or false alarm: This directly affects the car's technical performance, leading to wastage of lubricating oil and fuel, reduced power efficiency, compromised vehicle cleanliness, and environmental pollution. The fault light will turn on, and the issue can be resolved by replacing gaskets or seals.

Does changing the front grille in 2021 require registration?

In 2021, changing the front grille does not require registration. Relevant information: 1. Regulatory basis: According to the "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Items and Methods," the Ministry of Public Security will adjust the annual vehicle inspection items, with the new regulations taking effect on January 1, 2021. The adjustments for private vehicle inspections under the new regulations include: Adding an inspection step: In the online verification items, a "safety defect recall" step is added, meaning that during online verification, if a vehicle has safety issues under recall, the staff will notify the owner of the recall status. 2. Expansion: Clarifying the scope of appearance inspection: The new regulations explicitly state that modifications to the front grille, wheels, roof racks, side steps, and bumpers are allowed. This means that after the implementation of the 2021 new regulations, modifying the front grille within reasonable limits—without changing the vehicle logo, body color, etc.—does not require registration.
