The reasons for low pressure or inability to spray windshield washer fluid are as follows: Low fluid level: Generally, if the windshield washer fluid cannot be sprayed, it is likely due to the fluid level being too low. Even if there is still some fluid in the reservoir, it may not reach the required height to be sprayed. Try refilling the washer fluid. Clogged nozzle: If the fluid still doesn’t spray after refilling, the nozzle might be blocked by dust. Use a fine needle to gently clean the nozzle. Frozen lines: Considering it is winter, the reservoir or lines might be frozen. After warming up the car, try parking it in the sun. If the fluid sprays afterward, it indicates the need to switch to a higher-grade antifreeze washer fluid. Blown fuse: If there is no sound from the motor when trying to spray the fluid, and the windshield wipers also don’t work, it could be due to a blown fuse or a damaged motor.

Will speeding at the starting point of an average speed check result in penalty points and fines?

Speeding at the starting point of an average speed check is considered a traffic violation and will result in penalty points and fines. Below is relevant information about average speed checks: 1. Definition of average speed check: An average speed check involves setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. The principle is to calculate the vehicle's average speed on that section based on the time it takes to pass between the two monitoring points, and determine whether the vehicle is speeding according to the speed limit standard for that section. 2. How the average speed check system works: The average speed check system establishes a monitoring and capture system by installing cameras at road checkpoints. It conducts real-time monitoring and capturing of vehicles passing through the monitored area at the checkpoints to obtain information such as the vehicle's speed, traffic flow, license plate number, color, approximate physical size, and driver characteristics. This information is then transmitted via a network to the public security traffic command center and traffic control sub-center databases for data storage, querying, comparison, and other processing.

What Causes Abnormal Noises When Driving a Volkswagen Lavida?

Abnormal noises when driving a Volkswagen Lavida may be caused by aging rubber components in the chassis, faulty shock absorbers, insufficient lubrication of the shock absorber plane bearings, or abnormal noises from the transmission or steering gear. More related explanations are as follows: 1. Tire noise: When driving on the highway, if you open the window and clearly hear a "clicking" sound from the body, it may be due to stones embedded in the tires. If it is safe, you can pull over to the right and check the tires. If the sound is a dull "thumping," it is likely caused by deformed, bulging, severely worn, or underinflated tires. If there is a metallic clashing sound inside the tires while driving, it may be due to damaged shock absorbers or bearings, in which case you should take the car to a 4S shop for inspection. 2. Suspension system noise: There are various reasons for suspension noise. If the car makes a "creaking" sound, it is mostly due to the sound of the shock absorber springs.

What are the differences between Rolls-Royce Ghost and Phantom?

The differences between Phantom and Ghost are as follows: 1. The chrome window trim of the two models differs: The Phantom uses regular narrow double-line chrome inscriptions, creating a more square and robust visual effect; while the Ghost employs wide single-line trim, appearing more rounded. Although the new Ghost also features double trim lines, it still maintains significant visual differences from the Phantom. 2. The front ends of Phantom and Ghost are different: Another notable distinction between Ghost and Phantom lies in the car's front design. While both utilize large Greek column-style grilles, the Ghost's grille, along with its surrounding trim and even the body lines, are more rounded compared to the Phantom, resembling the Phantom Coupé version which leans closer to modern automotive design.

What brand are the original tires for the Audi A3?

The original tire brands for the Audi A3 are Hankook and Goodyear, with tire sizes of 225/40R18 and 225/45R17. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was founded in 1898 and has a history of over a century. Goodyear is the world's largest tire manufacturing company, headquartered in Akron, Ohio, USA. The company primarily produces tires, engineered rubber products, and chemical products in over 90 factories across 28 countries. Today, Goodyear employs more than 80,000 people worldwide. Hankook Tire was established in 1941 as Korea's first tire company, providing radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks (SUVs, RVs, etc.), trucks, buses, and special racing vehicles. Hankook has five R&D centers globally, ensuring its tires meet the needs and enhance satisfaction for consumers in each region. Hankook Tire products are available in over 180 countries and regions worldwide and entered the Chinese market in 1996. For the Audi A3's tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread wears flat, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can lead to tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and the pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool down naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging against the ground.

What does the car wiper switch reset mean?

Car reset refers to resetting the odometer mileage, clearing data, and zeroing out the trip computer display data. Holding it down for up to 3 seconds can clear the data. That is, when the ignition switch is turned off, average fuel consumption, average speed, etc. are stored and can be reset to zero via the RESET button on the stalk. The literal translation of Reset is reset, and its function is basically to reset the information in the car's dashboard information center, except for the total mileage. The car reset and trip buttons are basically located on the multifunction steering wheel, and some models will place them on the left side of the driver's seat, but the position is different, but their actual functions are the same. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. TRIP button: This button is a toggle button for selecting the vehicle mileage and electronic fuel consumption data recorded in the trip computer. It includes (accumulated driving time after refueling/accumulated driving mileage after refueling/remaining kilometers that can be driven with electronic fuel consumption, etc.). 2. RESET button: This button is used to clear the data when the corresponding data is switched to via the "TRIP" button. Implementing this function helps to re-examine whether the mileage status of the vehicle after refueling is complete.
