The reasons for noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary are: 1. Lack of lubrication in the steering column, causing high friction; 2. Check if the power steering fluid is low; 3. Inspect the universal joint for any issues; 4. Aging and hardening of the rubber bushings in the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Damage to the thrust bearing. Relevant information about the steering wheel is as follows: 1. Introduction: Generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. 2. Usage considerations: When using a larger diameter steering wheel, the force required from the driver's hands can be reduced. The steering intermediate shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.

How to Close the Sunroof on the Tiguan?

Tiguan sunroof closing method is to press and hold the sunroof close button for a few seconds, and the sunroof will close. When using the sunroof, try to avoid opening it on bumpy roads to prevent deformation of components due to excessive vehicle vibration. After two or three months of use, the sunroof should be cleaned by gently wiping it with gauze dipped in clean water. After drying, a small amount of lubricating oil can be applied, but do not use engine oil or butter. The Tiguan is Volkswagen's first domestically produced SUV. The vehicle's dimensions are 4506 mm in length, 1809 mm in width, and 1685 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2684 mm. In terms of safety features, the Tiguan comes standard with ESP body stability system, 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 have also become standard configurations on the Tiguan.

Why does the Tiguan suddenly fail to start?

The sudden failure of the Tiguan to start may be due to human operational reasons, such as a dead battery, empty fuel tank, or incorrect gear position. Many cases of failure to start encountered in daily life are caused by improper operation or the following reasons: 1. The fuel pump is broken or there is no fuel, preventing fuel supply—check the car's fuel gauge; 2. The engine is broken and needs to be replaced; 3. The battery is dead or depleted. Solutions for failure to start: Find another car to start, connect the batteries of both cars in series to start the vehicle. In case of a depleted battery, driving the car for more than 30 minutes will allow the car's alternator to automatically charge the battery. If it doesn't charge, it indicates the battery is broken and needs to be replaced. The Tiguan is a compact SUV from SAIC Volkswagen, equipped with a 1.8T L4 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine has a maximum horsepower of 160 PS and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The Tiguan's body dimensions are 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, featuring a turbocharged intake form.

What Parts Generally Get Damaged in a Statically Submerged Vehicle?

Statically submerged vehicles can suffer electrical circuit damage. Here's relevant information: 1. Damaged components: Water immersion causes significant damage to automotive electronics; the mixed rainwater's strong corrosiveness will affect future electrical functions. 2. Whole vehicle component damage: Computer integrated circuits oxidize due to immersion, often requiring inspection and replacement to maintain proper operation. Additionally, engines, transmissions, ABS systems, airbags, and onboard computers may develop short-circuit damage after water exposure. These issues represent the most significant troubles for vehicle owners after water immersion.

How to Determine if a Car Starter Motor is Faulty?

Determine whether the car starter motor is faulty based on the following conditions: 1. Check if the battery power is sufficient: When starting the engine, sometimes the starter motor can turn and start the engine, while other times it does not turn. When the starter motor does not turn, its electromagnetic switch makes a clicking "tick, tick" sound. 2. Check if the starter motor connections are intact: When starting the engine, sometimes the starter motor can turn and start the engine, while other times it does not turn. When the starter motor does not turn, its electromagnetic switch makes a clicking "tick, tick" sound. However, the obvious symptom is that when starting the engine, the electromagnetic switch repeatedly engages and disengages, frequently acting.

What does ILSAC engine oil mean?

Explanation of ILSAC engine oil is as follows: 1. Definition: ILSAC is a standard issued by the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee. Since the committee has the most comprehensive understanding of engines and the best engine manufacturing technology, the standards they establish are the most suitable for automobiles. 2. Reasons for using ILSAC oil: Establishing standards beyond API is mainly for environmental protection and fuel economy. For example, BBA originates from Germany, and the correspondingly developed German GT Magic Red oil is the best choice, achieving the goals of environmental protection and fuel economy without compromising protection and performance.

How to Retake the Test After Losing All Driving License Points?

Here is the relevant introduction on how to retake the test after losing all driving license points: 1. Full 12 points deducted during the probation period: If the driving license is still within the probation period and all 12 points are deducted, the license will be directly revoked. The license cannot be restored, and you can only re-register and start the examination process from scratch. 2. Full 12 points deducted after the probation period: The traffic management department will confiscate the motor vehicle driving license. The driver must report to the traffic management department at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Drivers who pass the test will have their points cleared and their driving license returned; those who fail must continue studying and retake the test.
