The effects of a broken engine mount include idle vibration, steering wheel shaking, and severe body vibration. Here are the details: 1. Engine Mount: The engine mount is a rubber buffer block that connects the engine to the frame, reducing the vibration transmitted from the engine to the cabin, ensuring smoother and more stable engine operation, and providing a better driving experience. 2. Effects: A damaged engine mount primarily affects engine vibration. High-speed engine noise may be related to gradual wear and aging of the engine, and the impact of a worn-out engine mount used for 1-2 years is not particularly significant. Sometimes, changing to a high-quality engine oil can significantly improve engine vibration and noise. Under normal use, engine mounts can last more than 6 years, and there is no specific replacement interval. However, if inspection reveals signs of cracking, aging, or corrosion in the engine mount, it must be replaced.

What is the ETC toll collection system on highways?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC toll collection method: Through microwave-specific short-range communication between the RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses networked technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles paying tolls without stopping when passing through bridge and road toll stations. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment approach. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal. Credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to the designated service point to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old. The vehicle must be registered under the applicant's name. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply inclined windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper lever connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the lever in. If removed, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failed toll collection due to unreadable vehicle information. If using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll collection failure.

What are the symptoms of a warped brake disc?

The symptoms of a warped brake disc are as follows: 1. Brake shudder: Due to wear or uneven wear of the brake disc, the surface flatness of the brake disc is compromised, causing the vehicle to shudder when braking, especially in older vehicles. 2. Abnormal noise during braking: If a sharp metal friction sound is heard when applying the brakes, it is likely caused by rust on the brake disc, thinning brake pads, poor-quality brake pads, or foreign objects in the brake pads. 3. Brake pull: If the steering wheel noticeably pulls to one side when braking, the main causes are uneven wear of the brake pads or issues with the brake caliper. Immediate inspection at a repair shop is necessary, including checking and correcting the runout of the front brake disc. 4. Brake pedal rebound: If the brake pedal rebounds or pushes back when pressed, this is often due to uneven surfaces of the brake disc or pads, or deformation of the wheel rim.

Can the Tiguan L continue driving when the coolant warning light is on?

Cannot continue driving. Pull over immediately: When the coolant warning light illuminates, safely pull over as soon as possible and turn off the engine. After the engine has cooled down, open the hood to inspect. Regardless of the cause for the coolant warning light activation, it indicates the engine is overheating. Prolonged inadequate cooling may lead to internal engine damage. Coolant level below "min" mark: If the coolant level is below the "min" mark, do not continue driving. Seek immediate assistance from a repair shop. In emergency situations, you may add distilled water to reach the normal level to protect the engine, then visit a repair shop promptly for professional technicians to replenish with genuine coolant and conduct professional testing on the coolant mixture ratio and color.

What does 'unlabeled vehicle' mean?

The reasons for displaying 'unlabeled vehicle' when passing through ETC include equipment malfunction, damaged bank card, or insufficient balance. The specific reasons are explained as follows: Equipment malfunction: This malfunction may occur if the owner inadvertently triggers the detachment button during installation, causing the electronic tag to become invalid. Damaged bank card: Sometimes, high temperatures or improper handling can damage the magnetic strip of the bank card, preventing the roadside unit from recognizing the OBU device. Insufficient balance: Some owners use prepaid cards that require a balance to deduct fees. If the owner fails to recharge in time, they will not be able to pass through the ETC lane smoothly.

How Long is the Validity Period of Beijing's Passenger Car Quota in 2021?

The Confirmation Notice for Personal Passenger Car Allocation Quota has a validity period of 12 months, with the specific expiration date indicated on the notice. Quota Validity Period: Quota holders must complete all necessary procedures, including vehicle purchase tax payment or tax exemption certification, used car sales invoice issuance, and vehicle registration, with the tax, market supervision, and vehicle management departments within the 12-month validity period. Failure to complete these procedures within the stipulated time will be considered as automatic forfeiture of the quota. New Quota Regulations: A new quota allocation method has been introduced, which prioritizes "car-free families" through a lottery and points-based system. This method significantly increases the chances of winning a regular quota lottery and the allocation of new energy vehicle quotas for "car-free families" compared to individuals, aiming to address their vehicle ownership needs. This is the most significant aspect of the recent policy adjustments.
