Volkswagen Tharu is equipped with a turbocharged engine, so it is recommended to use synthetic oil with a viscosity of 40. Common engine oil grades include 0w30, 5w30, 0w40, 5w40, 0w20, 5w20, etc. The letter W in the oil grade stands for winter, indicating that the oil can be used normally in winter. The number before W indicates the low-temperature flow performance of the oil, and the number after W indicates the high-temperature viscosity of the oil. 0w means the oil can still flow normally at -35 degrees Celsius, while 5w means the oil can still flow normally at -30 degrees Celsius. The higher the number after W, the higher the viscosity of the oil. When the engine is running normally, the oil forms a film on the surface of various components inside the engine, which can prevent direct contact between components and reduce engine wear. If the oil viscosity is too low, the oil cannot form a stable film on the surface of various components inside the engine, which will increase engine wear. If the oil viscosity is too high, the engine's running resistance will increase, which will reduce the engine's power and increase fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate viscosity oil. Here are the steps for changing the engine oil for the Volkswagen Tharu: Open the engine cover (remove the four clips). Open the oil cap and insert the oil extractor hose into the oil dipstick port to extract the oil. The extraction process takes about 15-20 minutes, and the used oil can be collected in a bucket. After the oil is extracted, use a wrench and socket to remove the old oil filter. Clean any excess oil from the contact position, then install the prepared new oil filter. (Note: Usually, the oil filter is placed on top, but for some models, the oil filter needs to be removed and installed from under the car.) After adding the new oil, check the oil level using the oil dipstick. When checking the oil dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean with a paper towel and reinsert it to its original position. The second time you pull out the oil dipstick, you can determine the oil level. The oil dipstick has upper and lower limit marks, and the oil level should be between these two marks for normal operation.

Does insurance cover typhoon damage to vehicles?

If, in addition to compulsory traffic insurance, commercial insurance is purchased and it includes vehicle damage insurance, the insurance company will compensate for natural disasters. Here are the relevant details: 1. Glass damage: Covered by vehicle damage insurance. Most damages caused by typhoon weather can be compensated through vehicle damage insurance. If a vehicle's window glass is damaged by falling objects from heights, even without separate glass insurance, compensation can still be claimed under vehicle damage insurance. However, insurance companies generally do not compensate for cases where only the glass is damaged while the rest of the vehicle remains intact. 2. Parking damage: "Subrogation right" can be utilized. During a typhoon, extra caution is needed when parking vehicles. If parked outdoors, vehicles might be damaged by strong winds or falling objects. If parked in underground parking lots, stay alert to emergency notices from property management and move the vehicle when necessary.

Is it easy to repair a bent connecting rod caused by water in the engine?

Engine water ingress causing a bent connecting rod is repairable. If the bending is within the limit, it can be corrected through repair; if it exceeds the limit, it is recommended to replace the connecting rod. Below are the relevant details: Waterlogged roads: When a vehicle drives on waterlogged roads, the engine may suck water into the cylinders. Under the high temperature of the cylinder block, the water quickly forms steam, preventing the cylinder from forming a combustible mixture. This reduces the effective volume of the combustion chamber, increases compression resistance, and amplifies the pressure transmitted from the piston to the connecting rod. Over time, this can lead to bending or even breaking of the engine connecting rod. Continuous fuel injection: Continuous fuel injection from one of the engine's injectors can cause difficulties in starting the car, idle shaking, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and reduced power, which in turn affects the bending of the connecting rod.

Why Was the BMW 6 Series Discontinued?

BMW 6 Series overall sales were not strong to begin with. According to survey data released by the automotive industry statistics agency CarSalesBase, 60% of the sales were contributed by the Gran-Coupe four-door coupe model. This series belongs to the coupe category, which inherently targets a niche consumer base that prioritizes sports performance. Additional details are as follows: Displacement: The entire BMW 6 Series lineup uses a 2.0T turbocharged engine, so the displacement of this car is 2.0T. This engine has a maximum power output of 190 kW, a maximum torque of 400 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5,000 to 6,500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1,550 to 4,400 rpm. Interior: The mid-cycle facelift of the 6 Series did not undergo major layout changes, only some configuration adjustments. Powertrain: The mid-cycle facelift 6 Series in the domestic market still comes equipped with the 2.0T engine across the entire lineup.

Does the BMW i3 offer free battery replacement within eight years?

Within 8 years from the date of the new car purchase invoice or within 100,000 kilometers, customers can request free repairs for technical defects in the high-voltage battery. Authorized dealers will provide free repairs if the high-voltage battery capacity is detected to be below 70% of its initial value at the time of new car delivery. Additionally, during this period, if repairs are required due to technical defects in the high-voltage battery, the cost of towing the vehicle to the nearest dealer within a 100-kilometer radius of the vehicle's location will be waived or reimbursed to the customer. Below is relevant information on car battery maintenance: Frequent driving maintains charge: If a battery is left unused for a long time, it will gradually self-discharge until it becomes unusable. Therefore, the car should be started periodically to recharge the battery. Regular cleaning: Accumulated dirt on the battery surface should be cleaned from time to time, including oxides on the positive and negative terminal posts. Be careful not to short-circuit the positive terminal when cleaning.

What are the reasons for the engine failing to start?

There are several reasons why an engine may fail to start: 1. Clogged fuel injector: Generally, a clogged fuel injector is caused by impurities in the fuel blocking the injector's pathways. At certain temperatures, unstable components in gasoline can undergo chemical reactions to form sticky gum-like substances. These substances can clog the injector's needle valve and valve holes, affecting engine performance, reducing power output, and causing irregular engine operation. This results in intermittent starting issues where the engine may sometimes start and sometimes not. 2. Carbon buildup in the throttle body: Carbon deposits in the engine can significantly impact its performance, reducing engine power and causing uneven power output. They can also increase fuel consumption and make cold starts difficult, leading to ignition problems and difficulty in starting the vehicle. 3. Issues with the fuel system: A damaged fuel pump or blocked fuel lines can result in insufficient fuel supply. Without enough fuel for combustion, the air-fuel mixture becomes too lean, making it harder for the spark plug to ignite the mixture and causing the car to have difficulty starting.
