Clean the glass with a clean cloth to ensure there are no debris or impurities, keeping the glass in a dry environment; 2. Under a warm water faucet, take a clean, lint-free cloth and wring it tightly until no excess water drips; 3. Squeeze an appropriate amount of toothpaste onto the cloth based on the size of the scratch, adding more if necessary; 4.

What are the dimensions of the Volkswagen CC?

The length, width, and height of the Volkswagen CC are 4869mm/1870mm/1459mm, which are official data. The length of the CC refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car. The width of the CC refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height of the CC refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The turbocharged engine of the CC has a maximum power of 162kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 6200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4400 rpm. It is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The state has relevant regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of the vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in national standards lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to comply with the usage requirements of public roads.

How often should the spark plugs be replaced on a BMW 5 Series?

BMW 5 Series spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000-80,000 km. Spark plug working principle: The spark plug's ground electrode is connected to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block through the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the center electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and center electrode, it ionizes the medium between the center electrode and ground electrode to produce a spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder.
