Engine power loss and vibration can be caused by: 1. Worn or loose engine mounts; 2. Engine misfire (cylinder malfunction); 3. Excessive carbon buildup in cylinders, throttle body, spark plugs, or intake system; 4. Fuel system failure leading to lean air-fuel mixture and engine vibration; 5. Intake system malfunction. Solutions for engine power loss and vibration include: 1. Replacing brake pads and rotors; 2. Removing engine carbon deposits; 3. Improving fuel quality; 4. Replacing spark plugs; 5. Addressing insufficient cylinder compression. The engine's function is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning fuel in sealed cylinders to expand gases and drive piston movement.

What to Do If You Drive Without a Driver's License?

The traffic management department will temporarily impound the vehicle, and the owner needs to bring the license to retrieve the car. Here is relevant information about the driver's license: Definition of a driver's license: It is a document issued by the government transportation department to individuals who are qualified to drive, usually in the form of a card. Obtaining a driver's license requires passing a driving test: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). The order of the test subjects follows traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving, in sequence. During the test, if a candidate fails a subject, the subsequent subjects will not proceed. Each subject has two attempts; if both attempts fail, the test is terminated. During the validity period of the learning license, retake fees can be paid for re-examination after further study. The retake fees vary depending on local conditions. After completing the first subject test, candidates should pass the remaining subjects within three years.

Where is the transmission fluid level inspection hole of the Volkswagen CC?

The transmission fluid level inspection hole of the Volkswagen CC is located on the top of the transmission. When checking the transmission fluid, first preheat the oil to about 50 degrees Celsius, then move the gear lever through each gear position and pause for a few seconds in each. At this point, check the dipstick to ensure the fluid level is between the maximum and minimum lines. Below is some relevant information about transmission fluid: 1. Transmission fluid is an oil product used to keep the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates normally and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. Failure to replace the transmission fluid regularly can lead to: impurities forming due to chemical changes in the transmission fluid, blocking the oil passages and affecting gear shifting functionality. Prolonged high-temperature operation reduces the lubricating properties of the transmission fluid, increasing the risk of clutch plate wear and causing stalling. 2. It is important to note that replacing transmission fluid involves more than just the fluid itself; two other components also need to be replaced or maintained. One is the transmission fluid filter, which, similar to an oil filter, removes impurities from the lubricating oil. The second is cleaning the transmission oil pan. If possible, remove the oil pan to clean out the thick layer of sludge, which often contains metal shavings. If not cleaned properly, even with new transmission fluid, the effectiveness will be significantly reduced. Additionally, when reinstalling the oil pan, always replace the sealing gasket to ensure a proper seal.

What are the tips for gear shifting in Subject 3?

Subject 3 gear shifting (increasing and decreasing gears) requires completion within 100 meters. The gear sequence is 2nd gear, 3rd gear, 4th gear, and then back to 3rd gear. You should first shift up from a lower gear to a higher gear, and then shift down from a higher gear to a lower gear. Gear shifting tips for Subject 3: First right then left, act immediately, left up right down like a seesaw. Subject 3 gear shifting operation techniques: Shift gears step by step: During the road test, skipping gears is strictly prohibited. Gear changes must be sequential, such as from 1st to 2nd gear, 2nd to 3rd gear, etc. Otherwise, the test recorder will note it and deduct corresponding points. Shift quickly: The key point of gear shifting is speed—complete the actions of pressing the clutch, shifting gears, and pressing the accelerator as quickly as possible. Shift steadily: When shifting gears, the clutch must be fully depressed, and you should only shift gears when reaching a certain speed range. Keep the direction straight: If your right hand grabs the gear lever while your left hand unintentionally pulls the steering wheel downward, the direction will deviate. The consequence of vehicle deviation is driving over the line or occupying the lane. In the Subject 3 test, driving over the line will result in failure, and it can also be dangerous in actual driving.

Should You Pull the Handbrake or Shift to Neutral First When Parking by the Side?

When parking by the side, you should shift to neutral first and then pull the handbrake. The reason is that parking by the side also requires the vehicle to be no more than 50cm away from the curb. Sometimes, you may notice that the distance between the vehicle and the curb seems too large, and you might still be able to adjust the position by shifting gears to bring the vehicle closer. If you pull the handbrake first and then shift gears, you won’t be able to make adjustments if you realize the distance isn’t right, which could result in point deductions. Tips for Subject 3 (Road Test): Before starting the test, walk around the vehicle counterclockwise to inspect its condition. This is a crucial step and should not be overlooked. Many people fail the test simply because they skipped this inspection, which is truly regrettable. After getting into the vehicle, adjust the seat position and rearview mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt. Only after completing these steps can you begin the test. During the test, listen carefully to the voice prompts and avoid acting before the prompts, as the system may not record your actions and could deem the test invalid. Pay special attention to areas like schools and bus stops, where there are no voice prompts. You must slow down and brake within 30 meters, but don’t brake too early. For actions like starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, making U-turns, or parking by the side, always signal first and wait at least 3 seconds before executing the maneuver. After completing the parking by the side, don’t rush to exit the vehicle. Open and then close the door, wait for the voice announcement of your score, and then exit. Don’t forget to close the door after getting out.

Can a Temporary ID Be Used for Subject 2 Driving Test?

A temporary ID can be used for the Subject 2 driving test. However, if you need to use a temporary ID due to the absence of a regular ID, you must inform the driving instructor in advance and follow the driving school's arrangements for the test. According to Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," "first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driving license shall fill out an application form and submit their identity proof." Therefore, a temporary ID can be used to take the Subject 2 test. One important note: the validity period of a temporary resident ID is three months. You can take the Subject 2 test within this period, but you will not be allowed to enter the test site if the ID has expired. Make sure to take the test within the validity period of the ID. If the temporary ID expires due to special circumstances, you should apply for a formal ID or a new temporary ID as soon as possible. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1/C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turn, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may have a sixth item, such as highway card collection. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), as of June 1, 2021, the hill start and stop item is no longer required for C2 and C5 license tests. For large vehicles (AB licenses), Subject 2 includes 16 items: reverse parking, continuous obstacle passage, curve driving, highway simulation test, width-limited gate, bumpy road, single-plank bridge, narrow road U-turn, hill start and stop, parallel parking, highway emergency handling, mountain road simulation, right-angle turn, rain and fog weather simulation, highway tire blowout simulation, and tunnel simulation driving.
