BMW 525's air-fuel mixture adjustment being too rich may be due to insufficient air or excessive fuel. Insufficient air: Insufficient air can result from a dirty air filter affecting intake; a damaged or inaccurate air flow meter; air leaks, such as in the piping from the air flow meter to the valves; turbocharger causing leaks in the engine's piping; or carbon buildup in the intake system, such as in the throttle body or intake manifold. Excessive fuel: Excessive fuel can be caused by high fuel pressure; damaged or carbon-clogged fuel injectors leading to leaks; faulty charcoal canister or purge valve; oil entering the combustion chamber, such as due to crankcase ventilation issues; or faulty oxygen sensors and catalytic converters causing the engine control unit to deliver incorrect fuel injection amounts.

Where should the fire extinguisher be placed in the car?

The fire extinguisher in the car should be placed in the following locations: 1. Inside the glove compartment; 2. Next to the seat; 3. In the trunk, etc. The storage environment temperature for the fire extinguisher should be within the range of -10 to 45 degrees Celsius, and the place where the fire extinguisher is placed should be kept dry and ventilated to prevent the fire extinguisher from getting damp and corroding. Fire extinguishers can be classified into foam fire extinguishers, dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, water fire extinguishers, and halon fire extinguishers based on the type of extinguishing agent they contain. They can also be classified into portable fire extinguishers and wheeled fire extinguishers based on their mobility. How to use a fire extinguisher: 1. Pull out the safety pin; 2. Hold the nozzle tightly with one hand; 3. Squeeze the handle with the other hand; 4. Aim the nozzle at the base of the flame and sweep.

What brand is the Audi audio system?

Audi audio system brand is Bose. Features of Audi audio system brand: The design style harmoniously integrates with the car panel, with exquisite craftsmanship in the audio system. For the brand, this is not just a simple audio system but also a transmission of philosophy, placing great emphasis on users' auditory experience. It employs high-frequency audio with outstanding rendering capability, delivering very refined effects, prominent mid-detail performance, and sufficiently powerful bass, providing immense enjoyment in various scenarios. Function of Audi audio system fuse: Generally, there are three reasons for inserting a fuse in an electrical device. It can arbitrarily protect the power supply and the wiring connecting to output-powered devices. If some electronic components in the circuit are damaged, it might be due to excessive current passing through them when they fail; in circuits where electronic components are damaged or the circuit is disconnected, the rated fuse will blow before the damage occurs; if a fuse larger than the rated one is used, a minor mistake could cause severe damage to the electrical device.

What is the reason for brake noise after replacing brake pads?

After replacing the brake pads, the reason for brake noise is that the brake pads have not yet adapted to the brake disc and are in the break-in period. Brake pads, also known as automotive brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction lining and friction block bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. Precautions for purchasing brake pads: 1. Check the friction coefficient, which determines the braking torque of the brake pads. Too high a coefficient can cause wheel lock-up, loss of directional control, and burning of the pads during braking, while too low a coefficient results in longer braking distances. 2. Consider safety. Brake pads generate high temperatures during braking. At high speeds or during emergency braking, the friction coefficient of the lining decreases under high temperatures. 3. Check for comfort, including braking feel, noise, dust, smoke, and odor.

Should the Verna use 20 or 30 engine oil?

The Verna can use fully synthetic 20 engine oil. Engine oil change interval: Most engine oils abroad are changed at 10,000 kilometers, while domestic manufacturers in China generally advance the change interval to 7,500 kilometers or even 5,000 kilometers due to poor road conditions. However, in reality, as long as the oil color is clear, the oil level is not below the marked minimum level, and there are no special circumstances, the engine oil does not need to be changed so frequently. Functions of engine oil: Cooling and temperature reduction, sealing and leak prevention, cleaning, shock absorption and buffering, lubrication to reduce wear, rust and corrosion prevention, and component protection. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricating oil, is composed of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of base oil performance.

What does the C1 Subject 2 test include?

The C1 Subject 2 driving test primarily consists of five items: reverse parking into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. For automatic transmission (C2) vehicles, the hill start and stop is not included in Subject 2. A C1 driver's license permits the holder to drive small and micro passenger vehicles. C1 test comprises four subjects in total, with the other subjects as follows: Subject 1: Mainly tests basic road traffic knowledge; Subject 3: Tests 16 driving skills including preparation before starting, starting, and straight-line driving; Subject 4: Tests safe and civilized driving operation requirements, similar to Subject 1, it is a theoretical test. Subject 2 test tips: Before starting the car during the Subject 2 test, ensure the seat height is adjusted correctly, adjust the rearview mirror for a broad field of vision, and fasten the seatbelt. During the test, do not stop unless the system announces a failure. For parallel parking, find the right angle quickly, steer the wheel promptly, react swiftly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. For hill start, remember to pull the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal when starting, release the handbrake, stabilize the clutch, and gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to avoid stalling or rolling back. For right-angle turning, identify the reference point before turning and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. For curve driving (S-curve), slow down and proceed cautiously. For reverse parking, control the speed, identify the reference point, and make minor adjustments if deviations are observed in the rearview mirror. Subject 2 scoring deductions: Reverse parking: Vehicle body crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction and failure; incomplete parking results in a 100-point deduction and failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; failure to complete within the allotted time results in a 100-point deduction and failure. Parallel parking: Vehicle body crossing the line after stopping results in a 100-point deduction and failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time; tires or body touching the curb deducts 10 points; failure to complete within the allotted time results in a 100-point deduction and failure. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line results in failure; stopping midway results in failure; not using second gear or above deducts 5 points. Right-angle turning: Wheels crossing the road edge line results in failure; stopping midway deducts 5 points each time. Hill start and stop: If the front bumper or motorcycle front axle is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50cm, it results in failure; exceeding the allotted start time results in failure; if the front bumper or motorcycle front axle is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50cm, 10 points are deducted; if the vehicle body is 30-50cm from the road edge line, 10 points are deducted; failure to engage the parking brake deducts 10 points.
