Abnormal noises when turning a vehicle may be caused by the turn signal resetting, aging of the steering tie rod ball joint, steering gear failure, damaged stabilizer bar, or friction between plastic components. Specific causes and solutions: Turn signal resetting: If the turn signal is activated while turning, the noise might come from the rebound clip of the automatic reset mechanism of the turn signal. In this case, there is no need to worry. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint: If the steering tie rod ball joint is aging, it can cause steering wheel vibration and noise. The usual solution is to replace the steering tie rod ball joint and perform a wheel alignment afterward. Steering gear failure: If the noise during steering is very loud, it might be due to excessive gear clearance in the steering gear, which requires replacing the steering gear. Damaged stabilizer bar: Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings not only cause noise when turning but also when driving over uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims. Friction between plastic components: Since the steering wheel is usually made of plastic components, colder temperatures can harden the plastic, leading to friction noises. Regular inspection of plastic components and timely replacement are necessary in this case.

Is it serious to lose the supplementary page of the driver's license?

Losing the supplementary page of the driver's license is not serious. You can apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued or at other vehicle management offices outside the issuing location. The following is relevant information about the driver's license: 1. License renewal period: Within the six-year validity period of the driver's license, if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle, the license can be renewed for a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle within the ten-year validity period, the license can be renewed for a long-term validity. 2. Examination content: The test subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Before each subject test, an appointment must be made (special circumstances can be scheduled through the green channel for driving tests), and the test is taken after the appointment.

How Many Years Can Anti-Rust Paint Prevent Rust?

Anti-rust paint typically has a service life of 3 to 5 years. During this period, the paint film can effectively perform rust prevention and adhesion functions, protecting the coated object from oxidation and natural peeling. However, beyond this timeframe, minor issues may gradually appear. Relevant information about anti-rust paint is as follows: 1. Alkyd anti-rust paint: Available in colors such as iron red, gray, and red lead, it is used in conjunction with various alkyd enamels and ready-mixed paints, and also serves as a primer for amino paints, but only for ordinary steel components; 2. Epoxy-based anti-rust paint: Used for ordinary steel components exposed to atmospheric conditions, including zinc-rich paint (zinc gray), iron red primer, light gray primer, white primer, red lead anti-rust primer, and micaceous iron oxide anti-rust paint (gray-black with a mica luster).

How many liters of coolant does the Volkswagen Tiguan L require?

The Volkswagen Tiguan L requires 5-6 liters of coolant. Coolant is a special additive-containing liquid primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and year-round protection against scale and corrosion. For the Volkswagen Tiguan, the coolant generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. However, since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement interval should be determined based on actual usage. Regularly check the coolant level. If it is found to be insufficient, replenish it promptly. If suspended matter, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the coolant, replace it immediately and clean the system. When adding coolant, always use the same brand. Different brands of coolant may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective.

How Long Can an AT Transmission Last?

AT transmissions typically have a real lifespan of over ten years. Due to their extremely high torque tolerance, many off-road vehicles and military vehicles use this type of transmission, enduring tough towing and off-road conditions without issue. Here are methods to extend the transmission's lifespan: 1. Change the transmission fluid according to the specified time or mileage. Although many manufacturers claim the transmission is maintenance-free, the recommended fluid change interval is 60,000-80,000 km (varies by model). After the first service, it's advisable to change the fluid every 40,000-60,000 km to prevent fluid degradation. 2. Avoid leaving the transmission in D (Drive) gear when stationary for extended periods. Keeping the transmission in D gear means it remains operational, with internal parts rubbing against each other and agitating the fluid, causing the transmission to heat up. Over time, this leads to premature fluid degradation, reducing lubrication and cooling efficiency, thereby accelerating transmission wear.
