Introduction to the reasons why the fuel tank cap of Audi A6L cannot be opened: 1. The fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted: If the fuel tank cannot be opened, the first thing to consider is whether the cap is stuck or the hinge of the fuel tank cap is rusted. 2. The pull line is too long: The main reason why the car fuel tank cap cannot be opened may be that the pull line is too long or has stretched after a period of use, resulting in the pull line not being fully in place when the handle is pulled, thus causing the fuel tank cap to fail to open. Another reason could be issues with the handle or the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap. 3. Loss of elasticity in the fuel tank cap spring: You can install a small spring (not too soft or too long) on the protruding rubber pad of the fuel tank to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking device. 4. Aging of the fuel tank cap's engagement area: Apply lubricating grease to the hinge and engagement area of the fuel tank cap. 5. The fuel tank cap may be frozen or too dirty: If the fuel tank cap cannot be opened due to freezing in cold weather or excessive dirt, the fuel tank cap should be treated first. Do not force it open to avoid secondary failures.

What materials are needed for car inspection?

For car inspection, you need to bring the vehicle registration certificate, the ID card of the vehicle owner, and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle inspection station. For vehicles within six years of age: Vehicles that meet the 6-year exemption conditions will be exempted from the on-site inspection (i.e., vehicle testing), but they still need to apply for an annual inspection compliance label every two years (i.e., the label affixed to the front windshield, which has now been digitized nationwide). For vehicles over six years of age: You need to drive the vehicle to the nearest inspection station with the registration certificate and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy for on-site inspection.

What are the reasons for no response from the spring brake?

The reasons for no response from the spring brake may be: the adjusting rod is adjusted too much; the callback is not in place; clutch issues, inspect or replace the booster pump; the brake is too low or there are no brake pads, the air pipe is blocked or the wheel cylinder is faulty. Spring Brake: Also known as the strong spring-type braking system, commonly used in large vehicles such as trucks, it mainly uses compressed air as the power source for the braking system. Advantages of Spring Brake: If the vehicle's braking system loses pressure or has insufficient pressure due to reasons like pipeline leakage, the parking brake's strong spring will fully engage, achieving the braking effect with high safety.

How much air should be put in motorcycle tires?

For most common motorcycles, the front tire pressure should be inflated to 170-200 kPa (1.70-2.00 kg/cm²), while the rear tire pressure should be 200-250 kPa (2.00-2.50 kg/cm²). Tire: A tire is a circular elastic rubber product assembled on various vehicles or machinery that rolls on the ground. Usually mounted on metal rims, it supports the vehicle body, absorbs external shocks, maintains contact with the road surface, and ensures driving performance. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components.

Is it better to replace 2 tires or all 4?

Tires can be replaced either 2 at a time or all 4. When replacing 2 tires, it's essential to replace both on the same axle. Tires are the only components of a car that make contact with the ground. Some car owners only replace the tires on the drive wheels when changing tires. For instance, some front-wheel-drive vehicle owners may only replace the two front tires, while some rear-wheel-drive vehicle owners might only replace the two rear tires. In fact, this practice is acceptable. More details are as follows: 1. Tires are rubber products and will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during those four years. 2. Since tires can also age from prolonged disuse, it's important to check the production date when purchasing new tires.
