The Tiguan L uses 5w40 engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: lubrication and anti-wear, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. Classification of engine oil: 1. Conventional mineral oil; 2. Semi-synthetic oil; 3. Fully synthetic oil. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Lift the vehicle, remove the protective plate, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the oil drain plug after draining, and wipe and check for leaks with a paper towel; 3. Reinstall the protective plate, lower the vehicle, and use a funnel to add oil at the oil filler port.

What is the fuel consumption and range of the VOGE 300RR?

Fuel consumption is significantly influenced by individual driving habits. Using 95-octane gasoline, the comprehensive fuel consumption is approximately 3.2L per 100 kilometers, with a range of around 400 kilometers. The following factors affect fuel consumption: Road potholes: If the road is congested or uneven, driving in low gear for extended periods will inevitably increase fuel consumption. Incorrect driving: Poor driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. Sudden braking, erratic speed fluctuations, prolonged engine idling, aggressive acceleration, and long-distance driving at high speeds in low gear can all lead to increased fuel consumption. Prolonged idling: Compared to normal driving, the engine ECU controls a higher fuel injection rate when the car is idling or just started. If the engine is not turned off or frequently idles for long periods, fuel consumption will increase.

What is the function of the urea tank?

The function of the urea tank is to store the liquid that reduces nitrogen oxide pollution in diesel vehicle exhaust. Below is an introduction to the urea tank: 1. Principle: With the implementation of the National IV and Euro IV emission standards in 2008, diesel engine emission reduction systems require the use of urea aqueous solution, and this urea tank is used to store the urea aqueous solution. To reduce the emission of harmful NOX gases from vehicles, the internationally adopted SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology is widely used. The principle of SCR exhaust treatment involves reacting urea aqueous solution with nitrogen oxides (NOX) to produce non-polluting nitrogen and water. 2. Benefits: It protects both your health and the environment, preventing harm to people. After adding urea, the resulting water and nitrogen are non-toxic and harmless. However, the urea used by drivers is different from that used for crops; it undergoes special treatment. Otherwise, using agricultural urea could be dangerous and clog the exhaust pipe.

What is the displacement of the Qiaoge?

The Qiaoge has a displacement of 102ml. Displacement Introduction: Displacement (Swept-volume), a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time (converting chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy), resulting in better "power performance." It's like comparing a teenage boy to a healthy adult—the adult is naturally more efficient at physical labor. Therefore, off-road vehicles and sports cars usually have relatively larger displacements. Cylinder Displacement: The working volume through which the piston moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If an engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement, usually expressed in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, more representative of engine size than bore and number of cylinders. Many engine metrics are closely related to displacement.

Where is the lane assist module located in the Audi A6?

The lane assist module in the Audi A6 is located on the left side of the rear bumper. Composition of the Lane Keeping Assist System: Information Collection Unit: In the lane keeping assist system, its function is similar to that of the lane departure warning system. It mainly collects lane information and the vehicle's own driving information through onboard sensors and sends it to the electronic control unit. Electronic Control Unit: It primarily processes the information through specific algorithms and determines whether to perform corresponding lane departure correction operations. The performance of this unit directly affects the timeliness of lane departure correction. Therefore, when selecting the central processing unit and designing the control algorithm, computational capability and speed should be emphasized. Execution Unit: It is mainly divided into three parts: the alarm module, steering wheel control module, and brake control module. The alarm module is similar to the lane departure warning system, implemented through one or more forms such as steering wheel or seat vibration, dashboard display, and sound alerts. The steering wheel control module and brake control module are unique to the lane keeping assist system. They mainly achieve coordinated control of lateral and longitudinal movements and ensure the vehicle maintains a certain level of driving stability during LKAS operation. Working Principle of the Lane Keeping Assist System: When the system is operating normally, the information collection unit collects data such as lane lines, vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and vehicle speed through onboard sensors. The electronic control unit processes this information, compares the lane lines with the vehicle's driving direction, and determines whether the vehicle is deviating from the driving lane. The lane keeping assist system can be activated throughout the entire driving process or when the speed reaches a certain threshold and can be manually turned off, maintaining the vehicle's driving trajectory in real-time. When the vehicle is likely to deviate from the lane, it issues an alarm. When the distance between the vehicle and the lane line on the deviation side is less than a certain threshold or when a wheel has already deviated from the lane line, the electronic control unit calculates the auxiliary steering force and deceleration, controlling the steering wheel and brake control modules based on the degree of deviation. It applies steering force and braking force to stabilize the vehicle and return it to the normal track. If the driver turns on the turn signal for a normal lane change, the system will not issue any alerts.

Should Shock Absorbers Be Replaced Individually or in Pairs?

It is recommended to replace them in pairs. Replacing just one can lead to uneven height on both sides, and the other side is also prone to damage. The function of shock absorbers is to maximize the buffering of the vehicle's center of gravity height movement and save energy, thereby reducing wind resistance and mitigating the impact of changes in the vehicle's center of gravity on the tires. Below are specific methods to check if the shock absorbers are functioning properly: 1. Oil leakage: If oil leakage is detected, it indicates a malfunction in the shock absorber, which should be replaced or repaired as needed to prevent abnormal operation. 2. Press the bumper: Press the bumper firmly and release it. If the vehicle bounces 2-3 times, it indicates that the shock absorber is working well. 3. Observe vehicle vibration: When driving slowly and applying emergency brakes, if the vehicle vibrates violently, it suggests a fault in the shock absorber. 4. Casing temperature: After driving 10km on rough road conditions, stop and touch the casing. If it is not hot enough, it indicates no internal resistance in the shock absorber, meaning it is not working.
