What's the reason for the automatic driving light malfunction in the Passat?

There are many reasons that may cause the vehicle's warning light to illuminate. It is recommended to record a video when the light comes on and show it to the repair technicians at the 4S shop. Introduction to vehicle lights: Vehicle lights refer to the lamps on a vehicle, serving as tools for road illumination during nighttime driving and as signaling devices for various driving indications. Vehicle lights are generally categorized into headlights, taillights, turn signals, etc. Common light signals: When the traffic light turns green and the car in front doesn't move: flash the headlights once. When encountering strong lights at night that dazzle the eyes: flash the headlights twice as a reminder, and turn on hazard lights to express dissatisfaction. When another vehicle wants to change lanes: flash the headlights once to indicate "agreement", or flash continuously to indicate "refusal". If a neighboring vehicle has a problem: flash the headlights three times. If the following vehicle is too close: intermittently illuminate the brake lights.

How to Operate the Automatic Parking System in the New 3 Series?

First, press the PDC button and drive at a speed below 40km/h. The ultrasonic sensors can effectively detect parking spaces. Once a suitable parking space is detected, the car will display a "Please stop" prompt on the central display screen. At this point, brake the car, turn on the turn signal (left or right depending on the parking direction), and confirm the parking space. Then, hold down the PDC button, release the brake pedal, and let go of the steering wheel. Below is a detailed introduction to the BMW 3 Series parking system: 1. The BMW 3 Series automatic parking system parks the car without manual intervention. 2. The automatic parking system enables the car to park automatically in the correct position. The system includes an environmental data collection system, a central processor, and a vehicle strategy control system. 3. Principle of the automatic parking system: Radar probes around the vehicle measure the distance and angle between the car and surrounding objects. The onboard computer then calculates the operation process and adjusts the steering wheel rotation in coordination with the vehicle speed. The driver only needs to control the speed.

What are the consequences of turning off the engine in N gear?

First, press the brake to stop the vehicle → shift into N gear → pull up the handbrake or step on the parking brake → slowly release the brake, wait until the force is fully applied to the parking brake → turn off the engine → finally shift into P gear. Therefore, turning off the engine in N gear is not a problem. The following is a detailed explanation of parking gears: 1. When parking, it is particularly important to note that the handbrake should be engaged before shifting into P gear. 2. P gear is the parking gear, which uses the locking mechanism inside the transmission to engage the gearbox gears, preventing the gears from rotating and thus locking the wheels. However, P gear cannot replace the handbrake because when parking on a steep slope, relying solely on the engagement of the transmission gears to lock the vehicle's inertial sliding not only puts great pressure on the transmission's locking mechanism but also easily causes the mechanism to jam, making it difficult to shift out of gear. 3. After shifting into N gear, turn off the engine before shifting into P gear. Because shifting into P gear at idle speed will pass through R gear first, causing an unnecessary impact on the transmission and damaging it.

What is the difference between car headlights with and without lenses?

Differences between car headlights with lenses and those without: 1. Some are xenon headlights. They can refract light over long distances. Moreover, lens headlights adjust the light distance according to the car's elevation changes. 2. After installing lenses, the headlights have better light concentration and appear brighter. Headlights with lenses offer advantages such as uniform brightness, strong penetration, and minimal light dispersion compared to those without lenses. 3. Lens headlights are divided into single-beam lenses and bi-beam lenses. Single-beam lenses can constrain light into either high beam or low beam, with the advantages of low cost and simple structure, but the disadvantage of being unsuitable for flashing. Bi-beam lenses are a set of lenses that can switch between high and low beams through mechanical structures and lens adjustments, meaning the headlight has only one bulb, and the high/low beam switching is achieved by changing the lens baffle. Bi-beam lenses can easily perform flashing operations. 4. Generally, low beams are equipped with lenses while high beams are not. The reason for this design is that low beams are most commonly used in urban roads, whereas high beams are rarely used. With lenses, low beams appear particularly concentrated, with distinct cut-off lines, preventing glare when viewed from the opposite side. Without lenses, the light is very scattered and appears more dazzling.

Is It Normal to Have Oil in the Exhaust Valve?

The function of the exhaust valve is to separate oil vapor and control the negative pressure in the crankcase, so having oil inside is normal. Here is a detailed introduction to the exhaust valve: 1. The exhaust valve, also known as an oil separator or pressure control valve, is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet. Through separation, it improves the heat transfer effect in the condenser and evaporator. Its role is to allow automotive exhaust gases to re-enter the cylinder for combustion, and this small amount of exhaust gas reduces the temperature during cylinder combustion and also lowers the NOX content in the exhaust. 2. Working principle of the exhaust valve: The high-pressure gas from the compressor, along with the gaseous working medium and lubricating oil, enters the exhaust valve and then the guide vanes. It flows in a spiral pattern along the guide vanes, and through centrifugal force and gravity, the lubricating oil is separated from the working medium gas. The oil flows down along the inner wall of the cylinder, while the working medium gas is discharged through the central pipe via multiple baffles. The separated lubricating oil collects at the bottom of the oil separator and can be periodically drained or automatically returned to the compressor's crankcase using a float valve.

How to Clean an Oxygen Sensor?

Remove the oxygen sensor and soak it in a solution of 5-10% ferric chloride with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The exact ratio depends on the condition of the sensor's surface. Soak the oxygen sensor in the solution for 10-15 minutes, then remove it and rinse thoroughly with water. Ensure that the four surrounding holes are clear, and when viewed from the bottom, the internal carrier should appear white after cleaning. Below are common faults of oxygen sensors: 1. Oxygen sensor poisoning is a frequent and difficult-to-prevent issue, especially in vehicles that often use leaded gasoline. However, if the poisoning is mild due to using just one or half a tank of leaded gasoline, the simplest cleaning method is to use a tank of high-quality gasoline, which can restore the sensor's activity. 2. Carbon buildup on the oxygen sensor: This is more common because, under various operating conditions, the engine cannot maintain complete combustion for long periods. Incomplete combustion leads to carbon deposits, which can attach to the oxygen sensor via the exhaust pipe, causing it to fail. However, this type of failure can be remedied by cleaning the carbon deposits at a 4S shop, restoring the sensor's activity. This is somewhat similar to a clogged catalytic converter. 3. Ceramic breakage: The ceramic material of the oxygen sensor is hard and brittle. Striking it with a hard object or cleaning it with strong airflow can cause it to break and fail. Therefore, handle it with care and replace it promptly if any issues are detected.
