Tire R16 indicates that the tire diameter is 16 inches, where R refers to the tire being a radial tire, and 16 denotes the rim diameter of 16 inches. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low temperature effects during operation. Tires must possess relatively high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance, while also requiring high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as relatively low rolling resistance and heat generation. Tires can be categorized by purpose into: passenger car tires, light truck tires, construction machinery tires, off-road vehicle tires, industrial vehicle tires, etc.

What are the consequences of complete engine oil leakage in a car?

Hazards of oil leakage: Insufficient oil can easily cause bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, and in severe cases, may lead to crankshaft breakage and engine block damage. Excessive oil will affect the car's power and is also prone to oil blow-by and oil burning. Causes of engine oil leakage in cars: 1. Poor product (accessory) quality, material, or workmanship. 2. Improper assembly, unclean mating surfaces, damaged or displaced gaskets, or failure to follow installation procedures. 3. Uneven tightening torque of fastening nuts, stripped threads, or loose connections leading to operational failure. 4. Wear beyond limits, aging, deterioration, or deformation failure of sealing materials after long-term use.

Is it necessary to wax a car?

It is necessary to wax a new car. Here are some vehicle maintenance considerations: 1. Cooling system cleaning and maintenance: Generally, a car should be cleaned and maintained once when transitioning between winter and summer seasons, or every 6 to 8 months under normal driving conditions. It should also be cleaned and maintained if the engine overheats, leaks, or boils. This process removes traces and scale that cause engine overheating, prevents harmful corrosion, avoids and stops leaks in seals and the radiator, and completely replaces old coolant. 2. Transmission cleaning and maintenance: Under normal circumstances, a car should be cleaned and maintained every 20,000km to 25,000km, or if the transmission slips, the engine temperature is too high, gear shifting is sluggish, or there is a system leak.

What does the departure angle of a car mean?

The departure angle of a car is the angle between the tangent line drawn from the lowest point at the rear end of the car to the outer edge of the rear wheel and the ground. The departure angle refers to the angle between the tangent line drawn from the protruding point at the rear end of the car to the rear wheel and the road surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and the plane tangent to the outer edge of the vehicle's rearmost wheel tire (under static load). When a car moves from a slope with a gradient greater than the approach angle to flat ground, its rear part will come into contact with the slope. The departure angle of a car indicates its ability to avoid collisions when leaving obstacles such as small hills or ditches. The larger the departure angle, the better the car's off-road capability.

Do Volkswagen cars make abnormal noises on bumpy roads?

Volkswagen cars may produce abnormal noises on bumpy roads. Body noises: Abnormal impacts or friction between doors and the vehicle body, as well as irregular friction at welded or bolted areas, can also cause abnormal noises. Interior noises: Loose trim panels, a loose glove compartment on the passenger side, or seatbelt buckle impacts, among others. Brake noises: Excessive wear on the brake pads, creating unwanted gaps. Suspension noises: The suspension system operates continuously while driving, and the rubber bushings between the shock absorbers and various linkages will inevitably wear out. When the bushings age or fall off, abnormal metal impact sounds may occur. If the shock absorber is damaged, a "thud" or "crack" sound may be heard on bumpy roads.
