Car battery red is the positive terminal. Here are some maintenance tips for car batteries: Pay attention to cleanliness: Regularly clean the battery to prevent dirt accumulation on battery cables or terminals. Regular inspection is needed: Periodically inspect the battery, including checking for cracks and electrolyte leaks on the battery case, ensuring secure connections, and verifying proper charging circuit operation. Replace the battery promptly when voltage is insufficient. Avoid complete discharge: When parking for extended periods, it's recommended to disconnect the negative terminal to prevent complete battery discharge.

Steps for Checking Automotive Air Conditioning Pressure

Steps for checking automotive air conditioning pressure are as follows: 1. Before inspection, check and clean the inspection connector of the air conditioning system and the high and low pressure connection connectors on the air conditioning pressure gauge; 2. Check the air conditioning pressure gauge to ensure that both the high and low pressure valves are properly closed and all connection connectors are securely fastened; 3. Connect the high and low pressure hoses of the air conditioning pressure gauge to the high and low pressure service diagnostic connectors via quick connectors, ensuring the air conditioning is turned off during connection; 4. After connection, turn on the air conditioning, read the high and low pressure values, and record them; 5. After inspection, first turn off the air conditioning and the engine, then disconnect the air conditioning pressure gauge from the service diagnostic connectors; 6. After disconnection, also check the service diagnostic connectors on the automotive air conditioning refrigeration system for any signs of leakage.

What is the suspension of the Volkswagen Passat?

Passat front is MacPherson, rear is multi-link independent suspension. The material is iron casting. Passat suspension has the following advantages: 1. MacPherson structure is simple, under the geometry of swing arm and pillar, it can automatically adjust the wheel camber angle, allowing it to adapt to the road surface when cornering, maximizing tire contact area. 2. Multi-link suspension, through various link configurations (three-link, four-link, five-link), achieves all the performance of double wishbone suspension. Based on double wishbone, the connection of links and axle constraints allows the toe angle to change accordingly when the tire moves up and down, providing better cornering adaptability.

What is the principle of the ABS system?

The principle of the ABS system is: during braking, the ABS quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is beginning to lock, and keeps the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, and the braking pressure on that wheel rapidly decreases due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking due to excessive braking force. The functions of ABS are: 1. Maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance; 2. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; 3. Allow steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control; 4. Avoid severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel to the Full Lock Position?

The reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel to the full lock position are: 1. Unlubricated steering column with high friction; 2. Insufficient power steering fluid; 3. Universal joint failure; 4. Aging rubber bushings of the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Planar bearing failure; 6. Power steering system malfunction; 7. Poor driving habits, such as excessive braking; 8. Abnormal wear on the brake disc and brake pad surfaces. The solutions for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel to the full lock position are: 1. Lubricate the steering column; 2. Refill power steering fluid; 3. Replace the universal joint; 4. Replace the rubber bushings of the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Replace the planar bearing; 6. Replace the power steering system.
