The mirrors on both sides of a car are called side mirrors or rearview mirrors, which usually form the rearview system together with the rearview mirror above the driver's compartment inside the car, and are indispensable for driving. The small mirrors carried on the sun visors on both sides inside the car are vanity mirrors, which are a convenient configuration for luxury models and are not installed in all vehicles. The method of adjusting the rearview mirrors when driving is: 1. Adjust the central rearview mirror to position the horizon image in the center of the mirror; 2. Adjust the left side mirror to position the image in the right quarter of the mirror; 3. Adjust the right side mirror to position the horizon image at two-thirds of the mirror's height, and adjust the right side of the car body to position the image in the left quarter of the mirror.

Remove the headliner of the Golf and observe the water stains. Check if the surrounding sealing strips are damaged; if they are, they need to be replaced. Regularly inspect the condition of the sunroof drainage pipes to ensure they are functioning properly without bends or blockages. Also, check the rubber seals and grooves of the sunroof for dust or debris. Inspect whether the drainage outlets are clogged with dust, as most sunroof leakages are caused by blocked drainage outlets.

Is a tire pressure of 260 too high in summer?

In summer, a tire pressure of 260 is slightly on the high side, but it won't cause a tire blowout. Due to higher temperatures in summer, excessive tire pressure can increase the risk of blowouts. Therefore, it's advisable to maintain the tire pressure around the manufacturer's recommended value, typically between 2.3 and 2.6 bar for passenger cars. If your car's tire pressure shows 260 in summer, it's important to note whether the measurement was taken when the car was cold or hot. If measured when cold, you might need to release some air from the tires. However, if measured when hot, the tire pressure reading of 260 is normal because prolonged friction between the tires and the road increases the internal temperature, subsequently raising the tire pressure.

How to Recharge Car Refrigerant?

Methods for recharging car refrigerant: 1. Charge from the bypass hole of the compressor discharge valve, known as high-side charging, where refrigerant liquid is added. This method is safe and fast, suitable for the first charge of the refrigeration system, i.e., after leak detection and vacuuming. 2. Charge from the bypass hole of the compressor suction valve, known as low-side charging, where refrigerant gas is added. This method is slower and can be used for replenishing refrigerant in the system. Refrigerant is the working fluid used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to transfer heat energy and produce cooling effects. In air conditioning systems, it is a substance that facilitates heat transfer through evaporation and condensation, commonly known as Freon.
