The 3.0-liter turbocharged engine used in the Touareg has the code EA839. The 2.0-liter engine code is EA888. This vehicle uses two engines in total: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 185 kW, reaching its peak power at 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 370 Nm, available from 1600 to 4500 rpm. The 3.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 250 kW at 5300 to 6400 rpm and a maximum torque of 450 Nm from 1340 to 5300 rpm. The Touareg uses engines from SAIC Volkswagen, which, along with FAW-Volkswagen, operates engine assembly plants in China. Volkswagen is a German automobile manufacturer. For the daily maintenance of the Touareg's engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is a pedal?

The pedal in a car is a device used to control the vehicle. Types of car pedals: If it is a manual transmission car, there are three pedals: the clutch pedal, the brake pedal, and the accelerator pedal. If it is an automatic transmission car, there are only two pedals: the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. Function of the clutch pedal: The clutch pedal is used to control the clutch, which is part of the car's transmission system. The function of the clutch is to connect or disconnect the engine and the gearbox. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the clutch disengages, and when the pedal is released, the clutch engages.

What does sunroof mean on a car?

Sunroof on a car refers to the sunroof. Automobile companies offer different configurations for various user groups, and the sunroof is one of the most popular configurations. Origin of Sunroof: Early car sunroofs did not have glass; the movable glass on the roof was made by metal stamping and could not let light through when closed. This type of sunroof is called Sunroof. Moonroof: With the development of materials, after the 1990s, basically all sunroofs were composed of a piece of gray or green glass wrapped with rubber through molds, along with a manually push-pull sunshade made of composite materials to block sunlight from entering the car through the glass. This type of sunroof is called Moonroof.

What are the reasons for the malfunction of the Volkswagen car remote control unlock button?

There are several reasons for the malfunction of the Volkswagen car remote control unlock button. No response from the remote control: If the remote control indicator light does not light up or is very dim when pressing the button, it may be due to insufficient battery power in the remote control. If the indicator light still does not light up after replacing the battery, check whether the battery polarity is reversed and whether the battery has good contact with the installation seat. If the above checks show no issues, but the remote control indicator light still does not light up, check whether the button is damaged. If some buttons cause the indicator light to respond while others do not, it is likely that the buttons are damaged or the remote control itself is faulty. Remote control cannot operate the door: First, confirm whether the remote control has any issues as described above. If the remote control is functioning properly and the issue arises after replacing the battery or anti-theft system components, follow the fixed procedure to match the remote control. Note that not all vehicle models require matching, as different models have different regulations. If there are two remote controls, test whether the other remote control responds. If the other remote control works, it may be that the password for this remote control is lost and needs to be re-matched. If the remote control still does not work after matching, there may be an issue with the receiver host or the transmitting antenna of this remote control. If the remote control host is shielded or there is strong interference nearby, the host may not correctly receive the electromagnetic waves emitted by the remote control, making it unable to control the central door lock action.

How to Properly Drive an Automatic Transmission Car?

Here is an introduction to the correct driving techniques for automatic transmission cars: 1. Restricted Start: When starting the engine, the automatic transmission also imposes gear restrictions. This is an adjustment made by the manufacturer for safety reasons. Generally, the engine can only be started when the gear lever is in the P or N position. If the gear lever is in a driving position such as D or R, the engine cannot be started. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent the car from colliding with objects in front or behind. 2. Using N Gear to Start: When the vehicle is started and you do not need to reverse but want to move forward directly, you can first turn on the power, press the brake, shift the gear to N, then ignite the engine, and finally shift to D gear to move forward. This avoids passing through R gear after ignition in P gear, which would cause the transmission to undergo a reverse impact. Another benefit is that if the engine suddenly stalls while driving, you can quickly shift to N gear to restart the engine safely. 3. Shifting to Driving Gear: When starting the car to move, you must press the brake pedal to shift the gear lever from P or N to a driving gear. Releasing the brake pedal allows the car to move slowly. The purpose of pressing the brake in advance is also for the safety of the driver and the car. Otherwise, after the engine starts and the car is shifted to a driving gear, the car may move unexpectedly, which could lead to a collision if the driver is not quick enough to react. 4. Freely Switching Gears While Driving: You can freely switch between forward gears while driving. Although these gears limit the maximum achievable gear, as long as the gear matches the speed, you can switch freely. 5. Do Not Coast in N Gear While Driving: Because the automatic transmission requires lubrication, when the gear is placed in N while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and result in complete damage. 6. Do Not Shift to P Gear While Driving: Never shift to P gear while the vehicle is moving unless you no longer want the car. If you need to change the direction of travel, always wait until the vehicle has come to a complete stop before switching gears. 7. Shift to Reverse Gear Only After the Car Has Stopped Completely: Since the automatic transmission has a hydraulic transmission mechanism and the fluid flow has a certain inertia that cannot change abruptly, it is best to shift to reverse gear only after the car has come to a complete stop. Before the vehicle has completely stopped, it is absolutely forbidden to shift the gear lever to P gear. After parking, you must turn off the engine and shift to P gear before removing the key. The correct procedure is: after the car is in the parking position, press the brake, shift the gear lever to N, engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, turn off the engine, and finally shift the gear lever to P gear. This is also part of the meticulous protection of the transmission. 8. Always Use the Handbrake for Long-Term Parking: Not using the handbrake for long-term parking can damage the locking mechanism of the automatic transmission. The difference between P gear and N gear is that in P gear, the transmission has gears engaged, which not only helps with parking but also assists in braking the vehicle. After parking, always shift to P gear and do not rely solely on the handbrake in N gear, especially when parking on a slope. 9. When Stopping at a Red Light, Should You Use N Gear or D Gear? You can follow your habit. Temporarily stopping and pressing the brake while in D gear will not harm the car because the torque converter in the transmission is equipped with a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch, which amplifies the torque from the engine crankshaft. It does not rotate at engine idle speed and only works when the engine speed increases. Therefore, it is fine to press the brake at a red light, and shifting to N gear and engaging the handbrake is also acceptable. 10. Avoid Always Using D Gear: Avoid the habit of always using D gear. Correctly using other gears can completely overcome insufficient power. Besides D gear, there are D3, 2, and 1 gears. When driving in the city, if the speed cannot exceed 60 km/h, use a gear lower than D gear to achieve sharper acceleration and avoid carbon buildup. When the speed exceeds 60 km/h, using D gear is not only fuel-efficient but also does not harm acceleration. When driving on mountain roads, use 2 or 1 gear as needed. This not only maintains strong torque output but also enhances engine braking, avoiding excessive use of the foot brake and ensuring driving safety. The D gear of an automatic transmission car does not have engine braking functionality and will continuously shift to higher gears as the downhill speed increases, making the car go faster and faster. This requires constant use of the foot brake to control the speed, which can easily cause the brake to overheat and fail due to excessive use, posing a significant danger. Therefore, when driving an automatic transmission car on a long downhill road, never use D gear to prevent accidents.

Should Rice-Sized Paint Chips Be Repaired?

It is recommended that car owners do not repair the paint. Cases where paint repair is advisable: If the area of paint damage is relatively small, repairing it usually requires repainting an area about the size of a palm, which a 4S shop can handle. However, when the paint damage is the size of a grain of rice, it is recommended that car owners refrain from repairing it. If the car is hit by flying stones while driving, resulting in small dents and rice-sized paint damage, such damage actually does not require repair. Introduction to paint layers: Generally, scratches on the paint surface are concentrated in the clear coat layer. These minor scratches can be removed through simple polishing. If the scratch penetrates deeper, damaging the paint layer, the only solution is to repaint.
