Turbocharger failure can lead to symptoms such as engine weakness, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, oil burning, and insufficient oil. If the turbocharger is broken, you should not continue driving. If the turbocharger's sealing ring is damaged, exhaust gases can enter the engine lubrication system through the sealing ring, contaminating the oil and rapidly increasing the crankcase pressure, resulting in excessive oil consumption and oil burning. Relevant information about turbochargers is as follows: 1. Turbocharger: A piston-type aircraft engine uses a device to increase the intake pressure in the cylinders. Before entering the engine cylinders, the air is compressed by the turbocharger to increase its density, allowing more air to fill the cylinders and thereby increasing engine power. Engines equipped with turbochargers can not only output greater takeoff power but also improve their altitude characteristics. 2. Automotive turbocharger: Turbocharging is a technology that compresses air before supplying it to the cylinders to increase air density and intake volume. The purpose is to increase air intake, enhance power, improve fuel economy, and reduce emissions.

How Long Should You Practice for Subject 4 Before Taking the Test?

Many question types in Subject 4 do not require rote memorization like Subject 1; the correct answers can often be deduced based on practical scenarios. Those with stronger comprehension skills may skip extensive practice and directly simulate the test two or three times. Subject 4 is scored out of 100, with a passing grade of 90 or above. Below is an introduction to the driving test subjects: Subject 1: Traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (written test, computer-based, 100 points total, passing score of 90 or above). Subject 2: Field driving skills test (practical, on-site). Only pass or fail is recorded. The test includes five mandatory tasks in sequence: reverse parking, parallel parking, S-curve, right-angle turn, and hill start and stop. Scored out of 100, passing requires 80 or above. Subject 3: Road driving skills test (practical, on-road or simulated). Scored out of 100, passing scores vary: 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types.

Will points be deducted if the fixed-point parking in Subject 2 is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm?

Fixed-point parking in Subject 2 with a distance of more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm will result in a 10-point deduction. Rolling back less than 30 cm after stopping will also deduct 10 points, but a side distance of less than 30 cm will not incur any point deduction. The uphill section is part of the Subject 2 test, specifically the slope fixed-point parking and starting exercise. If the car's front bumper does not stop within the marked line during slope fixed-point parking and exceeds 50 cm in either direction, 100 points will be deducted. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: Learning Objectives: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess fundamental vehicle control abilities; proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and road driving, including the reasonable use of vehicle controls and accurate control of the vehicle's spatial position, enabling precise management of the vehicle's position, speed, and route. Test Scope: For small vehicle licenses C1 and C2, the test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, slope fixed-point parking and starting, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns). Some regions may also include a sixth item: highway toll card collection.
