Here are the specific differences between the internal circulation and external circulation of car air conditioning: 1. Symbols: The internal circulation symbol is a circular arrow inside a car graphic; the external circulation symbol is an arrow entering the car from outside. 2. Working methods: Internal circulation draws air from inside the car, creating an airflow cycle within the vehicle. Its main function is to effectively prevent external dust and harmful gases from entering the car. External circulation draws air from outside the car, directs it to the air conditioning system for heating or cooling, and then blows it out from the vents. 3. Usage: Internal circulation heats up the car faster in winter and cools it down faster when the air conditioning is on in summer. It can also be used on smoggy days. External circulation is used for defrosting in winter or defogging in summer, as the air drawn from outside is richer in oxygen and drier, making it more effective for defrosting or defogging.

What does VSS fault mean?

1. Meaning of VSS fault: VSS stands for Vehicle Speed Sensor. A VSS fault indicates that the vehicle speed information cannot be transmitted to the instrument cluster via the CAN bus, meaning the speed data is missing or invalid, which may result in the speedometer not displaying the vehicle speed. 2. Principle: The vehicle speed information is transmitted to the instrument cluster through the CAN bus and displayed on the speedometer in either m.p.h (miles per hour) or km/h (kilometers per hour). If this information is missing or invalid, the speedometer will automatically reset to zero. If the tires are changed to non-original sizes, the programming of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) needs to be updated, which can also be done using a diagnostic tool.

Is stopping within 50 cm considered early or late?

There is no concept of stopping too early or too late; stopping within 50 cm on the slope is within the required range. Below is relevant information about the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Hill start and designated parking: During hill start and designated parking, when the vehicle stops on the slope, the handbrake is engaged to prevent rolling back. The process of accelerating and passing the slope from this stationary position constitutes the hill start test. 2. Reverse parking: Reverse parking is one of the most practiced and commonly considered challenging tasks in Subject 2. The most crucial aspect during this test is not stopping midway - if the vehicle stops, the test is considered failed.

How to Identify the National Emission Standard on the Vehicle License?

To identify the national emission standard on the vehicle license, check the vehicle model number: if it starts with 'bh', the suffix 'w' or 'x' indicates China III emission standard, 'y' indicates China IV, 'v' indicates China V, and 'vi' indicates China VI. Other methods to check the vehicle's emission standard include: 1. Review the motor vehicle conformity certificate; 2. Check the vehicle's accompanying documents for the emission standard in the vehicle information section; 3. Check the conformity certificate; 4. Visit the official motor vehicle environmental protection website for inquiries; 5. Inspect the vehicle's environmental protection label. The 'National' emission standards refer to China's phased vehicle emission standards, from China I to China VI, marked by the symbols i, ii, iii, iv, v, and vi respectively.

Is the transmission of the new Passat 330 Elite dry or wet?

The transmission of the new Passat 330 Elite is wet. The Volkswagen new Passat uses a dual-clutch transmission, with the 1.4T model equipped with a dry transmission and the 1.8T/2.0T models with a wet transmission. The wet type is relatively more stable. The latest National VI 2.0T engine (330TSI or 380TSI) is paired with the DQ381 wet dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.4T (280TSI) is paired with the DQ200 dry dual-clutch transmission. Advantages and disadvantages of wet and dry dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch system consisting of two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, coaxially installed together in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. Therefore, the wet clutch structure offers better adjustment capability and excellent thermal performance, enabling it to transmit larger torque. This technology is stable and mature, not only achieving fast and smooth gear shifts but also preventing overheating at low speeds due to the cooling effect of the oil. However, the downside is that the wet dual-clutch structure is complex, relatively larger and heavier, with higher manufacturing costs compared to dry dual-clutch transmissions. Additionally, maintenance is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring regular coolant replacement. 2. Dry dual-clutch transmission transmits torque through friction plates on the driven disc of the clutch. By eliminating the related hydraulic systems and leveraging the high efficiency of dry clutches in torque transmission, dry systems consume less energy during gear shifts compared to wet systems, significantly improving fuel economy. Moreover, dry dual-clutch transmissions are lighter than wet ones. The disadvantage is that dry dual-clutch transmissions have relatively inferior heat dissipation and lower torque capacity. However, due to lower manufacturing costs and subsequent maintenance expenses, they are generally used in budget-friendly models.

What is the normal RPM when starting a car?

The normal RPM when starting a car is between 1000 and 1400 RPM. Different car models may have varying cold-start RPM values due to differences in engine specifications. Car RPM refers to the rotational speed of the car engine, and its functions include: 1. Reflecting the engine's operating condition in real-time; 2. Helping drivers better coordinate with transmission gears and throttle positions; 3. Maintaining the car in optimal working condition; 4. Reducing consumption and extending engine lifespan. The reasons for high RPM when starting a car include: 1. Sudden increase in throttle opening; 2. Fuel injector dripping or clogging; 3. Slippage or damage to the air conditioning clutch; 4. Air intake system leakage; 5. Insufficient engine output power. Solutions for high RPM when starting a car include: 1. Adjusting the throttle opening; 2. Replacing the fuel injector, air conditioning clutch, air intake system, or engine.
