The reasons why the fan keeps running in a 2013 Passat include a damaged thermal switch on the engine radiator, a power interruption to the low-voltage ignition wire on the thermal switch connector, a faulty high-pressure switch on the air conditioning pipeline, or a defective fan. Below is an introduction to the 2013 1.4TSI Manual Premium Passat: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder EA111 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. 2. Body Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4870mm, 1834mm, and 1472mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2803mm. 3. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive.

What are the second maintenance items for the Boyue?

The second maintenance for the Geely Boyue is approximately at 6 months. The main items for the second maintenance include replacing the engine oil and oil filter, checking the battery, brake pedal and parking brake, brake pads and brake discs, brake fluid, clutch fluid, tires and tire pressure, lights, horn, wipers, and washers. Vehicle maintenance cycle: The maintenance cycle is set when the vehicle leaves the factory, so the "wrench" symbol will appear after a certain mileage to remind the driver to perform maintenance in time. Typically, the maintenance cycle is every 5,000-8,000 kilometers, and the factory-set cycle is slightly longer than 8,000 kilometers. After maintenance, the maintenance reminder light must be reset following a specific procedure to turn it off. It might also be that the reminder was not reset during the last maintenance, and performing the reset again will solve the issue. Regular maintenance items: Oil maintenance: Oil, also known as lubricant, helps reduce engine wear and provides cooling and lubrication. There are three types of oil: Full synthetic oil: needs replacement every 10,000-12,000 kilometers. If the car is not driven frequently, the oil may emulsify and lose effectiveness, requiring replacement after about a year. Semi-synthetic oil: needs replacement every 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Mineral oil: needs replacement every 5,000 kilometers.

How to Repair a Chipped Wheel Rim?

Methods to repair a chipped wheel rim: 1. Use fine-grit sandpaper for detailed sanding, then fill the scratches with alloy putty after smoothing; 2. Use an angle grinder to re-sand any remaining uneven areas; 3. Once the surface is treated, proceed with painting; 4. After the primer dries, apply a clear coat for protection and bake it dry in an oven; 5. Use a polishing machine with both coarse and fine polishing compounds to polish the rim. The wheel rim is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner contour to the hub via spokes, i.e., the metal component that supports the center of the tire mounted on the axle, also known as the wheel, rim, or hub.

Can the Air Brake Be Kept Pressed Continuously?

Air brakes should not be kept pressed continuously because doing so will deplete the air in the air tank, leading to a loss of braking capability. It will also increase the workload on the engine, causing engine vibration. Reasons why air brakes should not be kept pressed: The principle of air brakes involves using compressed air from the storage tank to inflate the brake chamber, thereby pushing the brake shoes. Keeping the brake pressed continuously will reduce the air pressure in the tank, eventually resulting in insufficient pressure and failure to brake properly. Moreover, braking is crucial for trucks, and for safety reasons, most truck drivers currently need to pressurize the air brake system to 5-6 Bar before setting off. Consequences of keeping the air brake pressed continuously: Air brakes work by using the cylinder regulator valve to create resistance against the engine's operation, thereby reducing engine speed and slowing the vehicle. If the exhaust brake remains engaged, it will increase the engine's workload, causing vibration. In severe cases, it may even cause the cylinder regulator valve to be forced open and damaged. How the air brake system works: The air pump, driven by the engine, compresses air into high-pressure gas and stores it in the storage tank. One storage tank is connected to the master brake cylinder via piping. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the upper air is opened first, and the high-pressure gas from the storage tank is transmitted to the relay valve.

How to Identify Engine Piston Slap?

The method to identify engine piston slap is that after the fault occurs, a clear metallic knocking sound will be emitted from the cylinder. The sound changes with the engine temperature - it's more noticeable when the engine is cold, and weakens or disappears as the temperature rises. Here are the reasons for engine piston slap: 1. Excessive clearance between piston and cylinder. Improper repair leads to excessive clearance, causing severe knocking noise. When the engine warms up, the piston expands, reducing the clearance and thus diminishing or eliminating the knocking sound. 2. Incorrect piston installation direction or piston deformation, which disrupts the normal clearance between piston and cylinder, resulting in piston slap noise.
