Reasons for weak car starter performance: 1. Power cable failure: Check the battery capacity and the connection of power cables; 2. Battery depletion: Ensure the battery has sufficient capacity and the wiring connections are good; 3. Short circuit or open circuit in the solenoid hold-in coil: Short-circuit the two main terminals of the starter solenoid switch. If the starter operates normally, it indicates a short circuit or open circuit in the solenoid hold-in coil; 4. Poor contact between the main contacts and contact disc in the solenoid switch: Use a metal strip to short-circuit the two main terminals of the starter solenoid switch. If the starter performs strongly after short-circuiting, it indicates poor contact between the main contacts and contact disc in the solenoid switch; 5. Excessive wear of starter brushes or weak brush springs.

Why is it difficult to start a cold engine but normal when warm?

Difficulty starting a cold engine but normal when warm is often due to poor fuel quality, engine carbon buildup, or spark plug failure. The specific reasons are as follows: Poor fuel quality: Low-quality fuel often has poor volatility, especially in cold winter temperatures. During a cold start, the engine block temperature is low, making it difficult for the fuel to atomize. This results in insufficient mixing of fuel and air in the combustion chamber, leading to difficulty starting or even failure to start. Engine carbon buildup: The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits can significantly affect whether the cold start is successful. Carbon buildup in various parts of the engine can negatively impact its normal operation. Spark plug failure: A cold start requires higher ignition energy. After a certain mileage, the electrode gap of the spark plug widens. If it exceeds the standard, the spark energy generated will weaken significantly, making it difficult to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, resulting in starting difficulties.

What is the speed requirement for straight-line driving in C2?

C2 straight-line driving speed should be maintained at around 35km/h, which means the speed should be between 30 and 40 km/h. Here is some extended information: 1. Straight-line driving: The distance is approximately 120 meters. Within the first 20 meters, align the vehicle properly, then hold the steering wheel steadily without any movement (maintain the speed at around 35km/h, which means between 30 and 40 km/h, and this part can be completed in about 10 seconds). 2. Subject 3: Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination, and it is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test.

Where is the VIN located on a car?

Old and new models differ (e.g., those with unibody construction). Some have it in the engine compartment, while others place it under the front passenger seat. Many newer vehicles now position the VIN in the front passenger compartment. Some locate it on the left side of the engine bay, others on the right - like the Crown JZS132/133 series, which has its vehicle identification number on the right front frame rail in the engine compartment. Here's more relevant information: VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number serves as a car's unique "ID number" assigned at production, maintaining exclusivity for 30 years without duplication. First introduced in 1949, VIN standards have evolved through multiple generations. Current VINs follow a globally unified 17-digit format. This number also serves as a crucial indicator for distinguishing between new and used vehicles.

What is the fv7160bbmgg model of the new Jetta?

fv7160bbmgg is a Volkswagen Jetta. Here are the relevant details: 1. Launch Date: The new Jetta was launched on December 7, 2016. 2. Model Introduction: Currently, it includes 9 models with three displacement options: 1.4L, 1.5L, and 1.4TSI, paired with 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions. 3. Engine Configuration: Equipped with Volkswagen's latest generation EA211 series engine, the new Jetta features the EA211 1.5L MPI engine, which boasts three major advantages: low fuel consumption, low emissions, and low noise. After upgrading to the 1.5L engine, the new Jetta delivers a maximum power of 81KW and a maximum torque of 150Nm. The engine incorporates advanced technologies such as a Freilauf generator, dual VVT timing adjustment system, integrated intake/exhaust camshaft in the cylinder head cover, and a continuously adjustable oil pump, effectively reducing fuel consumption while further improving emissions and noise levels. CO2 emissions are reduced to 6.4g/km, and noise is reduced by 1.5dBA. 4. Transmission and New Mode: The AQ160 automatic transmission paired with the 1.5L MPI engine also introduces an ECO-Mode, ensuring smoother gear shifts. The automatic transmission models achieve the same fuel consumption level as the manual transmission models, with a combined fuel consumption of only 5.7L/100km.
