It could be due to battery issues, motor failure, brake power cut-off, or throttle damage. Below are the reasons and solutions for an electric car not starting despite being fully charged: Battery issues: Solution: Check if the battery output is normal. If the output is too low, it indicates a faulty battery that needs immediate replacement. Motor failure: Solution: Inspect the motor condition. Poor contact of the motor carbon brushes can also cause the car to have power but not start. Brake power cut-off: Solution: Disconnect the brake line. If the car moves, it proves the brake lever is damaged and needs replacement. Throttle damage: Solution: If the car moves, it indicates a faulty throttle that requires immediate replacement or repair. Turn on the power and twist the throttle while using a multimeter to measure the positive wire and signal wire.

I've been driving an electric car for several years and found that situations where it shows a full charge but won't move are quite common, often due to software issues. For example, a minor bug in the car's system might cause inaccurate battery data updates. Try a simple restart: park, lock the car for a few minutes, then unlock and start it to see if it recovers. If that doesn't work, it might be a high-voltage circuit failure, such as a stuck relay not supplying power to the motor. Don't panic, and avoid repeatedly trying to start it to prevent further complications. It's best to visit a 4S shop to scan for error codes and diagnose the issue. Regular updates to the car's software during daily use can reduce such problems. An experienced owner's advice: safety first.

How Often Should the Drain Plug Be Replaced?

Steel oil pan drain plugs generally do not require replacement, whereas plastic oil pan drain plugs need to be replaced every time the engine oil is changed. Below is relevant information about oil pan drain plugs. Function of the Drain Plug: The drain plug is used to remove dirty oil that has settled in the oil pan during an engine oil change. After draining the dirty oil, new oil can be added, and the plug serves a sealing function. The Drain Plug Washer Must Be Replaced: The compressed washer loses its ability to deform, so a new washer must be installed every time the drain bolt is removed during an oil change. Failure to replace it may lead to oil leaks. Even if tightened with high torque, it can accelerate thread wear and make future removal more difficult.

How often should the original spark plugs of the Tiguan be replaced?

Tiguan's original spark plugs should be replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 kilometers. The function of spark plugs is to discharge the pulsed high-voltage electricity generated by the high-voltage wires, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to ignite the gas in the cylinder. Spark plug maintenance methods: 1. Use compressed air or a soft hose to blow away dust and impurities on the spark plug attachments; 2. When removing the spark plugs, ensure the engine is in a cold state, and do not disassemble or install spark plugs while the engine is running; 3. After removing the spark plugs, protect the spark plug installation port to prevent impurities or dust from entering the cylinder; 4. When removing the spark plugs, use the correct tools, ensure the wrench fits properly, and operate carefully to keep the wrench straight and aligned to avoid damaging the insulating ceramic body.
