Volkswagen DSG transmission mechatronic unit failure occurs because some vehicles used transmission mechatronic unit upper housings produced by specific suppliers during a certain period. The threads securing the accumulator may crack during use, leading to a drop in oil pressure. In some cases, this causes the clutch to decouple, resulting in loss of driving force and posing safety risks. Here is some information about Volkswagen: 1. Passat: It is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a water-cooled engine. The name Passat originates from a South American monsoon that blows steadily and uniformly from the southern Atlantic toward the equator every year, symbolizing persistence and constancy. 2. Corporate logo: Volkswagen (German: VolksWagenwerk) means 'the people's car.' The company's logo has undergone several changes throughout history. The VW in the Volkswagen logo stands for the first letters of the full name. The logo consists of three 'V's formed by middle and index fingers, representing the company and its products' victory - victory - victory.

How Far Can a Car Go After the Maintenance Period?

It is generally safe to drive an additional 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers after the car's maintenance period. Below are extended details: Primary Maintenance (around 5,000 kilometers): This involves maintenance operations focused on tightening and lubrication for vehicles that have traveled a certain mileage. Tasks include inspecting and tightening exposed bolts and nuts on the vehicle, applying lubricant to designated areas, checking and topping up the oil levels in various assemblies, and cleaning air filters. Secondary Maintenance (around 10,000 kilometers): This involves inspection and adjustment-centered maintenance for vehicles that have traveled a certain mileage. In addition to the tasks in primary maintenance, it includes checking and adjusting the engine and electrical equipment, removing and cleaning the oil pan and oil filter, inspecting and adjusting the steering and braking mechanisms, removing and cleaning the front and rear wheel hub bearings, adding lubricants, removing and inspecting tires, and performing tire rotation. The goal is to maintain the optimal performance of all vehicle components, mechanisms, and assemblies, ensuring smooth operation between two secondary maintenance sessions.

Must Points Be Deducted from Driver's License 10 Days in Advance?

There is no regulation requiring points to be deducted 10 days in advance, but traffic violations must be processed within the current scoring cycle. Otherwise, the violation records will be carried over to the next scoring cycle, resulting in the next cycle not starting from 0 points. Here is relevant information: The scoring cycle for a driver's license: Each cycle lasts 12 months, calculated from the date of license issuance. For example, if a license was issued on September 9, 2019, its scoring cycle will end at 23:59:59 on September 9, 2020, when the traffic police's scoring system will automatically reset the points. Driver's licenses start with 0 points and accumulate up to 12 points, after which relevant penalties will apply. Timing for processing points deduction: Although there is no rule requiring points to be deducted before the scoring cycle resets, it is advisable to process them some time before the reset if possible. This is because delays or other issues in the traffic police system might cause violation records not to be processed within the current cycle, leading them to be carried over to the next cycle.
