This is Volkswagen's new tail badge labeling method for turbocharged models. Previously, turbocharged models used displacement for tail badge labeling, but now it has been replaced with a combination of torque level and engine type. 380 represents the torque level, and TSI refers to a technology used in the engine. This engine is manufactured by Volkswagen Germany and is a small-displacement turbocharged engine with relatively high efficiency. Here is more information about the TSI engine: 1. Meaning of the TSI engine: TSI stands for Twincharged (dual charging = Turbocharger + Supercharger) Stratified Injection. T refers to twin charging, S refers to stratified, and I refers to injection. TSI is more advanced than FSI and belongs to a high-power, low-speed, high-torque engine. 2. Displacement represented by the TSI engine: (1) If all letters in TSI are red, it indicates the vehicle's engine has a 2.0L displacement. (2) If SI in TSI is red, it indicates the vehicle's engine has a 1.8L displacement. (3) If only I in TSI is red, it indicates the vehicle's engine has a 1.4L displacement.

Is it allowed to drive without temporary license plates?

Driving without temporary license plates is not allowed. Below is the detailed process for obtaining temporary license plates for a new vehicle: 1. First, you need to pay the vehicle purchase tax, purchase insurance for the new vehicle, and undergo a criminal investigation inspection. 2. Then, for non-exempt vehicles, they must pass an inspection line, pay fees, fill out forms, engrave and photograph the vehicle number, and collect the necessary documents for license plate registration. 3. You need to submit the documents at the vehicle management office, where the owner signs, and a police officer conducts an external inspection and confirmation of the vehicle. 4. Finally, select a license plate number and receive a receipt, have the license plate securely fixed, install the plates, and collect the vehicle registration certificate and license. 5. The temporary movement permit is generally valid for 3 days, while temporary license plates are usually valid for 30 days. The maximum period from purchasing a new vehicle to officially registering it is generally 3 months. If this period is exceeded, a certain late fee must be paid as per regulations. The timing of registration after purchasing a vehicle is entirely up to the owner's discretion.

Does Installing a Rearview Camera Affect the Warranty?

Installing a rearview camera will not affect the warranty. Below are the specific details about the vehicle warranty: 1. The vehicle warranty means that various components will be replaced for free if they are confirmed to be damaged due to quality issues rather than human factors, such as the speedometer or air conditioning. If these issues occur within the warranty period or within the specified mileage, they can be repaired for free. 2. The vehicle warranty does not actually mean that all components enjoy the same warranty service. Instead, the warranty is divided by components. Components that are prone to damage or aging, such as batteries, shock absorbers, wipers, rubber parts, and audio equipment, have shorter warranty periods, while components that are less prone to damage, such as engine blocks, have longer warranty periods. Some components, like tires, may be declared non-warrantable by certain car manufacturers. 3. Installing a rearview camera will not affect the vehicle warranty, but the installed equipment itself is not covered under the vehicle warranty.

What is the optimal position for adjusting rearview mirrors?

There are three rearview mirrors, and below are the optimal angles for adjusting each one: 1. Left-side rearview mirror adjustment: Place the horizon at the center line of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 2. Right-side rearview mirror adjustment: Place the horizon at the 2/3 position of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 3. Central rearview mirror adjustment: Keep it horizontally centered, with the left edge aligned to your left ear. Position the distant horizon at the center line of the central rearview mirror, then adjust left or right until the image of your right ear just touches the left edge of the mirror.

What is an OBD fault?

OBD is the engine exhaust system fault indicator light. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. Name: The full English name of OBD is On-Board Diagnostics, the on-board automatic diagnostic system. When the OBD fault light comes on, it indicates that the vehicle has an emission fault. 2. Working principle: OBD monitors whether the vehicle's exhaust exceeds the standard from the engine's operating conditions at any time. Once it exceeds the standard, it will immediately issue a warning. When the system fails, the fault (MIL) light or check engine (Check Engine) warning light comes on, and the powertrain control module (PCM) stores the fault information in the memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a certain program. 3. Components: The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate trap, oxygen sensor, emission control system, fuel system, EGR, etc. Therefore, it is a bit difficult to find the source of the fault to clear the OBD indicator light. The simplest method is to read the fault code, because OBD connects various emission-related component information to the electronic control unit (ECU), which has the function of detecting and analyzing emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes. Therefore, by reading the fault code, the nature and location of the fault can be quickly and accurately determined.
