Jetta VS5 body weight is only 1355 kg. Introduction to body weight: Body weight refers to the vehicle's own weight. Since the body is affected by gravity, all performance aspects of the vehicle will be influenced. If the car is too heavy, its speed cannot perform normally; if it's too light, the sense of stability decreases. Therefore, there are pros and cons to each, so careful consideration of body weight is necessary when choosing a vehicle. Performance affected by body weight: The lighter the body weight, the faster the acceleration, but the steering also becomes more sensitive, making it easier to skid or drift when cornering, which can result in slower cornering speeds. A heavier body weight doesn't necessarily mean slower acceleration - as long as the torque is increased appropriately, acceleration can still be very fast.

What Causes a Car's Handbrake to Fail?

The reasons for a car's handbrake failing to hold include brake fluid leakage and thinning brake discs. The specific causes are as follows: Brake Fluid Leakage: It is necessary to inspect the brake fluid, as leakage or insufficient brake fluid can result in the handbrake failing to hold. The braking system mainly consists of several parts: the energy supply device, control device, transmission device, and brake. The primary function of the braking system is to decelerate or even stop a moving car, maintain a stable speed for a car going downhill, and keep a parked car stationary. Thinning Brake Discs: Accompanied by body vibration or abnormal noises when braking, this is due to thinning brake discs or foreign objects entering the brake pads. Uneven surfaces on the brake discs can cause sharp metallic friction sounds when braking, as well as insufficient braking force, longer braking distances, and softer braking.

What Causes Water Under the Car Carpet?

Water under the car carpet is usually caused by air conditioning leaks. Here are detailed explanations about carpet water ingress: 1. Treatment Methods: If the carpet is only slightly wet, you can use a cleaning agent to remove dust and dirty water from the carpet; for severe water ingress, it's necessary to remove the seats and lift the floor covering for thorough cleaning. 2. Precautions: Avoid completely soaking the carpet in water for scrubbing, as this can damage the adhesive between different material layers inside the carpet and may result in prolonged drying time that affects usage effectiveness and causes interior humidity.

Why Are the Wheels Not Turning?

There are several reasons why wheels may not turn: 1. Possible brake seizure: oil line leakage, lack of oil, air in the system, brake caliper not retracting, brake pads stuck, or poor return of the brake wheel cylinder. 2. Handbrake issues: one-sided handbrake cable stuck and not retracting, abnormal handbrake lever (control failure, such as loose handle, missing fixing screws, etc.), or abnormal electronic handbrake control (or its wiring). 3. Rear wheel problems: seized bearings, one-sided axle shaft stuck, differential stuck, or bearings/differential burned out due to lack of oil. 4. Special circumstances: when driving on snowy or muddy slippery roads, for four-wheel-drive vehicles, special four-wheel-drive anti-lock mechanisms may engage. This is normal.

Should You Fasten the Seat Belt or Adjust the Seat First in Subject 2?

Adjust the seat first, then fasten the seat belt. Below is additional information related to Subject 2: 1. Subject 2 Exam Content: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small cars (C1 and C2), the exam includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. Starting from June 1, 2021, the "hill start and stop" item will be removed from the Subject 2 test for small automatic transmission vehicle licenses. 2. Passing Standards: For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required; for other vehicle types, a score of 80 is required.

What are the symptoms of a damaged flywheel?

When the car's flywheel is damaged, it will cause the engine to produce abnormal noises during operation, accompanied by noticeable shaking, and can also lead to an imbalance in the transmission shaft of the gearbox. The car flywheel is a disc-shaped component with a large moment of inertia, functioning like an energy storage device. Since the power strokes of the engine cylinders are not continuous, the engine speed fluctuates. When the engine speed increases, the flywheel's kinetic energy increases, storing energy. When the engine speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy decreases, releasing the stored energy. The flywheel helps reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation. The car flywheel is mounted at the rear end of the engine crankshaft. Through the clutch installed on the flywheel, it connects the engine to the car's transmission system and engages with the starter motor to facilitate engine starting. It also serves as the integration point for the crankshaft position sensor and vehicle speed sensor. Methods to determine flywheel damage: Check if the starter ring gear on the flywheel is intact. If the ring gear shows significant wear at the tooth ends or broken teeth, the starter ring gear or flywheel needs replacement. Inspect the flywheel surface for severe burns, impact marks, or scratches. If such damage is present, the flywheel also requires replacement. Measure the wear depth of the grooves. If it exceeds 0.5mm, the flywheel is damaged and needs replacement.

Is It Necessary to Buy a Car If You Don't Drive Often?

For ordinary consumers, it is not necessary to buy a car because cars are meant to improve quality of life. If the car is not used frequently after purchase, then there is absolutely no need to buy one. Below are the reasons why buying a car may not be necessary: 1. Not driving for long periods can significantly affect the car: When a vehicle is parked for extended periods, the engine oil can oxidize, which may severely corrode mechanical parts; the car battery inevitably self-discharges when the vehicle is not started, leading not only to severe power loss over time but also shortening the battery's lifespan; prolonged parking can cause the vehicle's oil seals to age and leak; since tires are made of rubber, prolonged pressure on one spot can cause the part in contact with the ground to shrink and deform. If parked under poor conditions, tires may even burst, posing a significant threat to travel safety. 2. The longer the time, the higher the depreciation of the vehicle: Cars are consumable goods, and most vehicles begin to depreciate from the very first day they are driven off the lot.
