Off-line parts refer to defective or substandard components among original factory auto parts, which have certain flaws and are priced significantly lower than genuine parts, making them a preferred choice for 4S shops. Here is an introduction to original parts: 1. Genuine parts: These are qualified components produced by authorized manufacturers. Although they are made by qualified manufacturers, they may not meet the specifications of original factory parts. 2. Pure dismantled parts: These are auto parts removed from original vehicles. Since it is unclear whether they were taken from new cars, used cars, or accident vehicles, the quality of these parts is often disputed. 3. Brand parts: These are auto parts produced by small workshops. However, if the parts involve driving safety, careful consideration is necessary. 4. Refurbished parts: Most of these are components removed from accident vehicles. As a result, they are often heavily damaged and have a high probability of malfunctioning.

How Many Turns to Lock the Steering Wheel?

Generally, it takes about two to two and a half turns to fully lock the steering wheel. Turning the steering wheel to its maximum limit in either the counterclockwise or clockwise direction is referred to as 'locking the steering wheel.' This technique is used in cars and other vehicles for short-distance maneuvers, allowing the vehicle to complete significant turns with minimal movement. However, fully locking the steering wheel during a turn can increase the power steering pump's pressure several times or even more, and consistently doing so may shorten the pump's lifespan. Therefore, it's advisable not to continuously lock the steering wheel. The correct way to hold the steering wheel is to place the left hand near the 9 o'clock position and the right hand near the 3 o'clock position. This grip ensures convenience and accuracy when turning the wheel. Additionally, it's important to control the steering wheel with appropriate force, keeping the thumbs naturally placed on the wheel.

What to Do When Side Windows Get Blurry on Rainy Days?

Solutions for blurry side windows on rainy days: 1. Use a specialized waterproof spray by applying it to the side windows. Waterproof sprays come in two types: spray-on and wipe-on, both of which can effectively prevent side window blurring. 2. Install rain deflectors on the side windows. Rain deflectors can effectively keep the rearview mirrors clean and prevent rainwater from hitting the side windows. Car glass is manufactured by heating the glass in a furnace to near its softening temperature, then quickly transferring it to air grids with varying cooling intensities for uneven cooling. This process creates different stresses between the main viewing area and the peripheral areas of the glass, resulting in a type of glass known as zone-tempered glass.

Where is the coolant temperature sensor located on a Jetta?

The coolant temperature sensor on a Jetta is positioned at the rear side of the engine, near the water pump. The coolant temperature sensor is a device that converts the temperature of the coolant into an electrical signal, which is then used to adjust the corresponding control unit. If the coolant temperature sensor malfunctions, the most obvious symptom is that the temperature gauge needle stops moving or remains fixed at the highest position. If such symptoms are observed, it is likely that the coolant temperature sensor has failed and requires immediate repair or replacement. The new Jetta lineup includes 9 models with three engine options: 1.4L, 1.5L, and 1.4TSI, paired with either a 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. These models are equipped with Volkswagen's latest EA211 series engines. The dimensions of the car are 4501mm in length, 1704mm in width, 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2604mm.

When can I drive on the highway after getting my driver's license?

You can drive alone on the highway one year after obtaining your driver's license. If a driver operates a motor vehicle on the highway during the probationary period, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle category for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to provide guidance to the probationary driver. Highway driving precautions: 1. Always perform a safety check before driving on the highway. Before entering the highway, inspect the car's braking system and tire wear to avoid emergency braking failure or tire blowouts due to tire pressure issues. 2. How to drive on ramps and lanes. Overtaking, making U-turns, stopping, and reversing are not allowed on highway ramps. After entering the lane from the ramp, strictly adhere to the highway speed limits. Do not exceed the speed limit or drive below the minimum speed, and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
