The symptoms of a damaged exhaust valve in the Tiguan include: 1. The vehicle's engine may produce a whistling sound, which is caused by airflow passing through a damaged diaphragm inside the exhaust valve; 2. Unstable idling; 3. Sudden emission of large amounts of exhaust smoke (similar to that from a fire extinguisher), appearing white during idling and blue during rapid acceleration; 4. Accompanied by a strong burnt rubber odor. The exhaust valve, also known as the oil-gas separator or pressure control valve, is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet. It improves heat transfer efficiency in the condenser and evaporator by separating oil and gas. The function of the exhaust valve is to recirculate exhaust gases back into the cylinder for combustion, reducing the temperature of the exhaust gases during combustion in the cylinder and also lowering the NOX content in the exhaust.

Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Applicants for other vehicle types must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Color vision. No red-green color blindness. Hearing. Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Upper limbs. Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement functions. Lower limbs. Normal movement function. For manual transmission vehicles, the length difference between the lower limbs must not exceed 5 cm. For automatic transmission vehicles, the right lower limb must be intact. No movement dysfunction in the trunk or neck. C1 physical examination requirements: Motor vehicle drivers aged 70 and above (including 70) must undergo an annual physical examination, while those under 70 do not need to. C1 application age: The minimum age limit for a C1 driver's license is 18, with no upper age limit. However, applicants aged 70 and above must pass tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities. C1 driver's license: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses.

Why Does the Engine Idle High and Shake When Cold?

High idle speed and shaking when the engine is cold are primarily caused by carbon deposits in the engine. These deposits can lead the ECU to make incorrect judgments, resulting in insufficient fuel injection. Even if the air-fuel mixture burns completely, it cannot guarantee adequate power output, inevitably causing shaking. Insufficient ignition energy can also lead to idle shaking. Over time, the spark plug gap may widen, reducing ignition energy and affecting engine performance, which results in vehicle shaking. Engine carbon deposits typically manifest as carbon buildup on the valves and intake passages. In such cases, cleaning the throttle body can provide immediate improvement. However, prevention is key. Avoid prolonged idling, occasionally drive at higher speeds, and use reliable fuel cleaning additives to maintain engine health.

Why Does Car Air Conditioning Produce Mist?

The reasons for car air conditioning producing mist are: 1. The cooling effect is too good, resulting in excellent cold air performance; 2. The humidity inside the car is too high, making it easy for mist to form; 3. Dirt, scale, and dust accumulation on the evaporator reduce airflow, leading to mist being blown out. Methods to remove mist: 1. Open windows for cross-ventilation. If the mist inside the car is not too heavy, slightly opening the windows on both sides can create air convection between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually dissipating the mist; 2. Using the air conditioning system is the most common method for most car owners to remove mist; 3. Anti-fog spray. Spray the anti-fog agent on the inner surface of the car glass and wipe it clean. This not only removes dirt from the glass but also forms a protective film.

What is the appropriate pressure for adding refrigerant to a car air conditioner?

For car air conditioner refrigerant charging, the appropriate pressure ranges are 150 to 250 kPa for the low pressure side and 1300 to 1500 kPa for the high pressure side. After completing the refrigerant charging, close the low-pressure manual valve on the manifold pressure gauge, shut off the injection valve on the refrigerant canister, stop the engine, and quickly remove the manifold pressure gauge from the compressor to prevent excessive refrigerant leakage. There are two methods for charging car refrigerant: it can be done from the high-pressure side or the low-pressure side. These two methods differ significantly due to the different states of the refrigerant being charged. The high-pressure side method involves charging liquid refrigerant, which is suitable for initial charging after leak detection and vacuuming. Note that this method requires the engine to be off and the refrigerant canister to be inverted. The low-pressure side method involves charging gaseous refrigerant, which is slower and typically used for topping up refrigerant.

How many colors does the Magotan have?

The Magotan comes in nine body colors: Phantom Black, Cairo Gold, Caesar Gold, Polar White, Oak Brown, Romanee Red, Quicksand Gold, Elegant Silver, and Prussian Gray. More details are as follows: 1. Generally, the most commonly seen Magotan colors in the market are black and Elegant Silver, with black being the predominant choice. Car color is one of the factors influencing sales, as consumers have varying psychological needs and aesthetic preferences. Compared to other colors, black is one of the primary choices for consumers because the Magotan has a relatively long body, and black accentuates the car's sophistication and elegance. The choice of car color should also depend on the vehicle's design. Some cars do not look good in black, and compared to black cars, white cars have a higher safety factor, as they are more visible during nighttime driving. The advantage of black cars lies in their dignified and business-like appearance. If a car has a smaller body size, white paint is more suitable, whereas black paint is better for larger vehicles. For mid-to-high-end cars, a black exterior is recommended, while compact cars are better suited with a white exterior.

How to turn on the heating in Haval H9?

Haval H9 heating activation steps are as follows: 1. After starting the car, wait 8-15 minutes until the water temperature rises to normal operating temperature. 2. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to internal circulation. 3. Switch to heating mode (indicated by the red zone). When unconscious lane departure is detected, the instrument display will issue an alarm to remind the driver to return to the original lane, improving driving safety. The blind spot monitoring system uses radar detectors to monitor 70m blind spots on both rear sides of the vehicle in real time. When there is danger during lane changing, the in-car warning light will flash accompanied by an audible alarm to alert the driver. 4. At this point, the heating system is activated.
