Steering wheel shaking can be categorized into two scenarios. One type occurs during idling, primarily caused by loose steering wheel bolts or rubber bushings. The other type happens while driving, especially at higher speeds, and is usually due to unbalanced wheel alignment. Below is relevant information: Precautions for steering wheel protection: For vehicles already equipped with a genuine leather steering wheel, it is not recommended to use a steering wheel cover. Except for hand-stitched genuine leather covers, most steering wheel covers rely on internal rubber friction for fixation, which can cause irreversible damage to the leather. Therefore, owners with leather steering wheels should avoid using covers. Steering failure: Causes of steering failure may include excessive speed, driver fatigue, slippery road conditions due to rain or snow, or poor vehicle condition. Additionally, sudden steering failure can occur if components within the steering mechanism become detached, damaged, or jammed.

Will the engine take in water if it doesn't stall when driving through deep water?

Driving through deep water without the engine stalling means water will not enter the engine. Here are the relevant details: Water intake: Theoretically, as long as water does not submerge the air intake, it will not affect the engine. However, there are too many unpredictable factors, such as waves caused by passing vehicles that could splash into the air intake, or unknown underwater conditions like potholes, which may affect the vehicle's ability to pass through. Engine: The engine is a fully sealed environment, with the only potential entry points for water being the air intake and exhaust. The exhaust will not take in water while operating, so as long as the air intake is above the water level, no water will enter. If water enters the engine, the vehicle will stall. If the vehicle does not stall, it means no water has entered.

Does Sport Mode Consume More Fuel?

When the car is in sport mode, it consumes more fuel. Here is some relevant information: Sport Mode: The most intuitive setting for sport mode in many car models is the S gear, which stands for sport (S for sport). In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time, instantly delivering high torque and increasing the vehicle's power. Operating Modes: Generally, cars have three operating modes: Eco Mode, Comfort Mode, and Sport Mode. When the car is in sport mode, both the engine's operation and the transmission's shifting logic will change.

How many liters of engine oil does the Touareg V6 require?

Touareg V6 requires 7 liters of engine oil. The recommended oil specifications for Volkswagen Touareg are 0W30 or 0W40, and 5W30 or 5W40 specifications can also be used. The choice of oil specification can be determined based on the weather conditions of the driving environment. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Touareg V6 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, generally filling about three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

Will I be penalized for driving over the guide line when entering a service area?

Driving over the guide line when entering a service area will result in a 3-point penalty. Here is the relevant information: Guide line: The guide line mainly consists of one or several white V-shaped lines or diagonal striped areas set according to the terrain of the intersection, indicating that vehicles must drive according to the prescribed route and must not drive over or cross the line. It is mainly used for overly wide, irregular, or complex intersections, ramp entrances of interchanges, or other special locations. Purpose of guide lines: The purpose of guide lines is to ensure that each vehicle can basically drive in its own lane, playing a role in regulation, guidance, and warning for travel, thereby reducing traffic accidents.
