The standard tire pressure for an Audi Q3 is around 2.4-2.5 bar, and it may vary slightly depending on specific conditions. During summer or winter, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, tire pressure increases in high temperatures and decreases in low temperatures. Therefore, summer tire pressure should be lower than winter tire pressure. Generally, it is recommended to set the summer tire pressure at the lower limit of the standard range, while in winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted slightly higher by about 0.2 bar above the standard pressure. Both overinflation and underinflation can shorten the lifespan of the tires. Hazards of overinflation: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and misalignment, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of underinflation: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and misalignment, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire components, leading to excessive heat generation due to over-flexing; Weakens the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Dramatically increases friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, causing cracks on the sidewalls and excessive flexing, leading to overheating, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact area, accelerating shoulder wear.

Is It Serious If the Small Metal Block on the Wheel Hub Falls Off?

The small metal block on the wheel hub falling off is not a serious issue. Below are specific explanations regarding the small metal block falling off: Function: The small metal block on the wheel hub is used for tire dynamic balancing. If it falls off, it needs to be reinstalled. The wheel should be removed, and a lead block of the corresponding weight should be hammered into the same position. Then, perform wheel dynamic balancing again before reinstalling the wheel. Impact: If the block is not replaced after falling off, it will affect the driving comfort of the vehicle. Prolonged driving may lead to vehicle jolting, deviation, abnormal tire wear, and increased safety hazards. The car wheel is an integral unit composed of the tire and the wheel hub. Due to manufacturing processes, the weight distribution of various parts of the wheel is uneven. When the car rotates at high speed, dynamic imbalance occurs, leading to unstable driving and steering wheel vibration. To avoid or eliminate this phenomenon, weight is usually added to the side of the wheel to correct the balance of various parts of the wheel.

What is the difference between plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid?

Light hybrid and plug-in hybrid differ mainly in the role of the electric power system's power output. The following is a comparison between the two: Battery: The mild hybrid has a smaller battery, and the electric power can only play an auxiliary role. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have a larger power battery, allowing the vehicle to drive purely on electricity like an electric car. In other aspects of the vehicle, there is not much difference. Mild Hybrid: Mild hybrid, also known as MHEV, most commonly features a 48V mild hybrid system, which quadruples the voltage compared to the 12V voltage of conventional fuel vehicles, enabling it to power more electrical devices. The electric system of this type of vehicle cannot support pure electric driving. Its motor only intervenes when the vehicle is at low speeds, effectively reducing the engine's fuel consumption. The battery is recharged by the generator during vehicle operation. Plug-in Hybrid: Plug-in hybrid vehicles are equipped with both electric and fuel power systems, featuring a larger power battery. They can drive purely on electricity for 50 to 110 kilometers, and when the battery is depleted, the engine takes over to drive the vehicle. Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be recharged using an external power source, achieving the environmental and energy efficiency levels of electric vehicles when driving purely on electricity. Plug-in hybrid models are classified as new energy vehicles and can be registered with new energy license plates.

How to Drive Safely on Uneven Roads?

When driving on uneven roads, you should proceed at a slow speed. Below are specific techniques: When traversing bumpy roads, the driver should maintain a correct driving posture by keeping the upper body close to the seatback and holding the steering wheel with both hands, minimizing upper body sway or bouncing. If the body loses stability due to the vehicle's bouncing, it will affect smooth acceleration and consequently lead to loss of vehicle control. When passing through short and slightly uneven sections, you can coast in neutral gear. On continuous, relatively small uneven surfaces, maintain an appropriate constant speed and try to choose relatively flat ground to pass through slowly. On bumpy roads that may cause bouncing, select a low gear and drive through steadily and swiftly, while constantly monitoring the sounds of various components and the condition of loaded cargo. When passing over slightly uneven surfaces, after slowing down, gently turn the steering wheel left and right to use the method of diagonal entry and exit of the front wheels, allowing them to successively overcome the uneven spots and ensure smooth passage of the vehicle.

What to do if a white car is scratched and reveals black?

If a white car is scratched and reveals black, the specific solutions are as follows: 1. Dirt attachment: If the black is just dirt attached to the paint surface, simply wash and wipe it off. 2. Exposed primer: If the scratch removes the surface paint of the car, and it's not severe, you can use a touch-up pen to repair it yourself. If it's more serious, you can sand off the paint at the scratched area with sandpaper and then repaint it. 3. Deformation: If the impact is particularly severe and causes deformation of the car parts, it's necessary to go to a 4S shop or repair shop for professional repair. Several methods for repairing car scratches: 1. Use a touch-up pen for repair. 2. Sand and polish. 3. Sheet metal repair.

Why Are All Cars Now Turbocharged?

Here are the reasons for adopting turbocharging: 1. From the basic principle of exhaust gas turbocharging technology, it uses the kinetic energy of exhaust emissions to increase intake air pressure, achieving greater power output based on a smaller cylinder volume. Modern engines with turbos maintain power without reduction while decreasing displacement, and smaller displacement also reduces friction losses from components like pistons and valves. 2. Higher power output from smaller displacement leads to slightly lower fuel consumption. Replacing mediocre naturally aspirated engines with turbocharged ones brings improvements and can also increase sales prices and after-sales profits. 3. Policies. Policies are an objective reality; under the global warming environment, it is inevitable for countries to introduce fuel consumption-related regulations. 4. Displacement tax.

How to Determine Wiper Blade Size?

You can measure the length of the wiper blade rubber strip with a ruler. Of course, some vehicle models have the size indicated in the user manual. The wiper blade refers to the strip structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of components such as the motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Here are some details about wiper blades: 1. The function of the wiper blade is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstructs visibility. 2. The power source of the wiper blade comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. 3. The lifespan of wiper blades varies depending on their quality and usage environment, but generally ranges from 2 to 4 years. 4. Conversion between wiper blade sizes in inches and metric units: 14"--350mm, 16"--400mm, 18"--450mm, 20"--500mm, 21"--525mm, 22"--550mm, 24"--600mm, 26"--650mm. That is, for every inch increase in wiper blade size, the length increases by 25mm.
