The reasons for the EPC light illuminating in the Volkswagen Tiguan are: 1. Issues with the vehicle's computer system; 2. Excessive dirt accumulation on the engine's throttle body; 3. Leaks in the intake system, causing the engine control unit to detect the problem and activate the EPC warning light. The Volkswagen Tiguan is Volkswagen's first domestically produced SUV, with dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. In terms of safety features, the Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP electronic stability program, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, and ASR traction control. Some less common features such as EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, auto hold function, and TPR tire pressure monitoring system are also standard configurations on the Tiguan.

What does TC mean in Chinese for cars?

TC displayed on the car dashboard indicates that the vehicle's traction control system is activated. Introduction to TC: TC stands for Traction Control System, which can improve the vehicle's passability. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects wheel slippage, it brakes the slipping wheels to prevent traction loss. When the system is operating, the yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. How TC works: When the traction control system detects via electronic sensors that the speed of the driven wheels is lower than that of the driving wheels, it sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease fuel supply, downshift, or brake the wheels to prevent further slippage.

What are the steps for removing and installing a tire?

Steps for removing and installing a tire: 1. Identify the front and back sides of the tire. The sidewall usually marks 'Outside' or has the tire date facing outward; 2. Apply a small amount of tire-specific lubricant to the bead on both sides of the tire, then place the tire diagonally into the rim; 3. Fit the tire onto the wheel rim, being careful not to damage the valve stem, and then align the tire properly; 4. Install the opposite side of the tire; 5. Pay attention to the tire inflation pressure, which is usually marked on the inside of the fuel tank cap or the driver's side B-pillar; 6. After completing all installation steps, use soapy water to check for any air leaks in the tire.

What are the basic functions of a transmission?

The basic functions of a transmission: 1. Change the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions while allowing the engine to operate under favorable working conditions; 2. Enable the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the same engine rotation direction; 3. Utilize neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifting or power output. Transmissions can be divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variations through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system.

What is the working principle of spark plugs?

The working principle of a spark plug is that the electrode of the spark plug generates repeated and continuous ignition pulses. The high-voltage pulse electricity breaks down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, creating a spark and generating an explosion to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder, which then causes the engine to start running. Spark plugs are consumable items and need to be replaced regularly. The choice of spark plugs directly affects engine operation. When replacing spark plugs, many people only focus on the material and the number of electrodes, but in fact, the heat value of the spark plug is also very important. Choosing spark plugs with different heat values can easily affect engine output, and it is even possible for the spark plug to be directly damaged.

Is It Normal for a Car's Rear Wheels to Have a Negative Camber?

It is normal for a car's rear wheels to have a negative camber, but ordinary family cars typically do not use this setup. A negative camber on the rear wheels refers to an inward tilt of the tires, a structure more commonly seen in sports cars and race cars. This design is used because racetracks have many curves, and the negative camber helps the vehicle achieve better grip on the ground. Generally, after modifying a car to have a negative camber, the vehicle's body height and chassis will be lowered. Cars with negative camber tend to have heavier steering systems, smaller tire contact patches with the ground during straight-line driving, longer braking distances, and more severe tire wear. This is why race cars frequently need to replace their tires.
