Common causes of failure include damage or poor performance of the cooling fan control module, blown fuse S42, short circuit in the cooling fan motor, etc. Cause Analysis: The cooling fan control system of this vehicle is relatively advanced, eliminating the relay and using the cooling fan control module to directly control the cooling fan motor, allowing continuous adjustment of the fan speed. Apart from the cooling fan motor, components connected to the cooling fan control module include the cooling fan thermal switch, refrigerant pressure switch, coolant follow-up pump, fuse S42, and fuse S142. Pay attention to inspecting these components during maintenance. Solution: The cooling fan control system of the Audi A6 has a high failure rate. Common causes of failure include damage or poor performance of the cooling fan control module, blown fuse S42, and short circuit in the cooling fan motor. It is important to note that the cooling fan motor can still operate after a short circuit, but fuse S42 will blow due to excessive operating current. Therefore, when fuse S42 blows, both fuse S42 (located inside the lower panel on the left side of the dashboard) and the cooling fan should be replaced to completely resolve the issue.

What is the speed limit on highways during rainy days?

Highway speed limits during rainy weather vary depending on conditions. Below are the speed limit scenarios for highways encountering low visibility weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, and hail: 1. Visibility less than 200 meters: Drivers should turn on fog lights, low beams, position lights, and front and rear position lights, with speed not exceeding 60 kilometers per hour, maintaining a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane; 2. Visibility less than 100 meters: Turn on fog lights, low beams, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers, with speed not exceeding 40 kilometers per hour, maintaining a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane; 3. Visibility less than 50 meters: Turn on fog lights, low beams, position lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers, with speed not exceeding 20 kilometers per hour, and exit the highway at the nearest exit as soon as possible.

Does Accelerating While Turning Cause the Half Shaft to Shake?

Accelerating while turning can cause the half shaft to shake. The half shaft of a car has a balancing rubber block: The half shaft workshop of a car has a balancing rubber block. When shaking violently, the rubber block is displaced from its position, causing deformation or loosening of the balancing rubber block in the middle of the half shaft, which then moves to the innermost part of the half shaft. Additionally, the rubber block balances the half shaft, and if it is displaced, it is difficult for it to return to its original position. Issues with the half shaft: On a straight road, you may notice that one tire does not drive smoothly, experiencing idling or uneven rotation, feeling a lack of proper direction, or even difficulty in adjusting the direction. Most half shafts require significant torque to deform, and the rotational speed of the half shaft is not high. The engine and drive shaft are related to the balance of the tires.

What Causes Many Pockmarks on the Windshield?

Ceramic dots are pressed at the edges of the film during cutting, making it difficult to remove bubbles from the inside. Bubbles at the edges of the front and rear windshields are hard to shrink and adhere, resulting in many pockmarks on the windshield. Windshield Precautions: Do not wash the car within three days after replacing the windshield. Remove the tape fixing the windshield position after three days. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads and refrain from sudden braking or rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the front windshield and the dashboard. Windshield Maintenance: Use dedicated or suitable wiper blades and replace them in time to prevent scratching the front windshield. Keep the windshield clean regularly. If debris is stuck, avoid using the wiper to remove it; instead, carefully wipe it off with a towel or other tools. Use automotive-specific glass cleaner to maintain clear visibility, increase lubrication, and reduce wear on the windshield.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring button located on the Geely X6?

The tire pressure monitoring button on the Geely X6 is located on the right side of the steering wheel. The status of the tire pressure can be viewed on the instrument panel through the tire pressure monitoring system. Typically, the normal tire pressure for the vehicle ranges from 2.3 bar to 2.5 bar. The tire pressure monitoring function can be categorized into indirect tire pressure monitoring and direct tire pressure monitoring based on the monitoring method. Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It then transmits the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, displaying the tire pressure data for each tire. The system will automatically alert the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the pressure.

What is the load capacity of a small car?

The load capacity of a small car ranges from 375KG to 500KG. Load capacity of small cars: The difference between the total mass of the car and its curb weight, representing the total mass that the car can carry in terms of passengers and cargo, i.e., the effective loading capacity of the car. Hazards of overloading a car: Braking distance becomes longer, tires and suspension are under greater pressure, the load-bearing chassis has limited capacity, and it can easily cause permanent deformation of metal parts. Small car: Refers to a vehicle used for transporting people and their personal belongings, with seats arranged between two axles. Including the driver, the maximum number of seats does not exceed nine. Generally, small cars emphasize comfort, focusing on the passengers. Moreover, they are designed with economy in mind, choosing engines with moderate horsepower, small displacement, and low fuel consumption.
