The best methods to check for refrigerant leakage in car air conditioning: 1. Observe whether there are oil stains on the air conditioning pipelines and various interfaces; 2. Spray soapy water to see if bubbles appear—if bubbles form, it indicates a leak; 3. Electronic leak detection can also be used to check for refrigerant leakage. Electronic leak detection is a new popular detection method in recent years. During the inspection, move the detection probe over possible leakage points. When the detection device emits an alarm, it indicates a significant leak in that area. The car air conditioning system is an important component of a vehicle, capable of both cooling and heating. The car's air conditioning system requires regular cleaning and disinfection; otherwise, it can breed many bacteria, posing health risks to the vehicle's occupants.

Working Principle of Disc Brakes?

During braking, hydraulic fluid is forced into the inner and outer wheel cylinders, causing the pistons to press the brake pads against the brake disc under hydraulic pressure, generating friction torque to achieve braking. This is the working principle of disc brakes. Disc brakes mainly come in two types: full disc and spot disc. In full disc brakes, both the stationary and rotating elements of the friction pair are disc-shaped, referred to as the stationary disc and rotating disc respectively. The entire working surface of the brake disc can simultaneously contact the friction pads. Spot disc brakes have their brake pads and actuation devices mounted in a caliper-shaped bracket that spans both sides of the brake disc, known as the brake caliper. Caliper disc brakes have strong heat dissipation capabilities and good thermal stability. Disc brakes are now widely used in passenger cars. Most cars use them on all wheels, while a few only use them as front wheel brakes, paired with drum brakes on the rear wheels.

What causes the Jetta's R gear to not display the reverse camera interface?

Jetta's R gear not displaying the reverse camera interface may be caused by the following reasons: Damaged or obstructed camera: If the camera is damaged, the image cannot be transmitted to the computer, naturally preventing it from being displayed. It is recommended that the owner promptly seek repair and, if necessary, replace the camera. Poor wire connection: If the owner frequently drives on rough roads, the bumpy environment may cause internal wiring to loosen or detach. When the wiring has poor contact, the camera's image cannot be transmitted to the main unit. In this case, the wiring inside the center console needs to be inspected. Dead battery: When the car is turned off, prolonged use of lights or multimedia can drain the battery. If the battery is low or dead, the car's multimedia system will not function, and the reverse camera will disappear. In this situation, the battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
