Method for changing automatic transmission fluid: 1. Drain the old automatic transmission fluid; 2. Remove the drain plug on the automatic transmission oil pan to completely drain the fluid inside the pan. Depending on the situation, remove the oil pan, thoroughly clean the oil pan and filter screen, and clean the cooler. Then reinstall the oil pan and drain plug; 3. Use compressed air to blow out as much fluid as possible from the torque converter through the filler port; 4. When refilling, add the specified automatic transmission fluid to the prescribed fluid level height; 5. Drain all the fluid again and repeat steps 1, 2, and 3; 6. Start the engine and, while the engine is idling, move through all gear positions before returning to the P position. If the fluid level is low at this point, continue adding fluid until it reaches the prescribed height; 7. Once the normal operating temperature is reached, check again whether the fluid level under hot conditions is near the upper limit of the dipstick scale, and adjust the fluid level height accordingly.

How Often Should the Volkswagen Tharu Be Maintained?

The Volkswagen Tharu model is equipped with two turbocharged engines: 1.4T and 2.0T. For routine maintenance, the minimum requirement is to use semi-synthetic engine oil, but it is recommended to opt for full-synthetic oil for better overall quality. When using full-synthetic oil, routine maintenance can be performed once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. The five key points for engine maintenance are as follows: 1. Use the appropriate grade of engine oil and replace the oil and filter regularly (every 5,000 kilometers); 2. Frequently maintain the air filter and replace it periodically (every 20,000 kilometers); 3. Clean the fuel system regularly and replace the fuel filter periodically (every 30,000 kilometers); 4. Perform regular maintenance on the radiator (every 30,000 kilometers); 5. Replace the spark plugs periodically (every 40,000 kilometers or based on driving conditions).

What to Do If You Forget to Renew Your Driver's License When It Expires?

If you forget to renew your driver's license and it has been over one year since the expiration date, your license will be revoked. However, if the revocation period does not exceed two years, you can restore the normal use of your driver's license by passing the Subject 1 exam. If the revocation period exceeds two years, you will need to reapply for a new license. Below are the subjects for the driver's license exam: 1. Subject 1: Traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The exam question bank's structure and basic question types are determined by the Ministry of Public Security, and provincial traffic management departments under the public security authorities establish the question bank for their respective provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) based on local conditions. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. The test items include: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 includes nine mandatory items: reversing into a parking space, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. The basic test items include: preparing to start, driving straight, changing lanes, passing through intersections, parking by the roadside, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge. The test items cover related knowledge on safe and civilized driving.

How long does it take to repaint a car panel?

Repainting a car panel generally takes 1 to 2 days. If the painting area is relatively large, it usually requires 3 to 4 days. Additional information: Introduction to automotive paint layers is as follows: 1. The vehicle's paint surface consists of four layers, from inside to out: the electrocoat layer, primer layer, basecoat layer, and clearcoat layer. 2. The clearcoat is the outermost paint layer, which protects the basecoat and enhances the gloss of the car's paint surface. Minor scratches typically only affect the clearcoat layer, and such fine scratches can be removed through polishing. However, frequent polishing is not recommended as it reduces the thickness of the clearcoat layer, which may diminish the paint's gloss over time. 3. If scratches penetrate deeper and damage the basecoat layer, repainting will be necessary to repair such damage.

What are the disadvantages of keyless entry?

Keyless entry is susceptible to interference and shielding. When the car system is interfered with, it cannot recognize the smart key, preventing automatic door opening and vehicle startup. Another common issue is frequently forgetting to take the smart key. Precautions for keyless start: 1. Do not place it with electronic devices: Since smart keys use low-intensity radio waves, they may malfunction under magnetic interference. Regularly placing the smart car key with a mobile phone can cause interference from the phone's frequency, leading to malfunction. If the smart key receives high-intensity radio waves, it may excessively drain the battery. Therefore, avoid placing the smart key near TVs, computers, or similar devices. 2. Water damage to the smart car key: If the smart car key gets wet, it can burn out internal circuits and cause malfunction. In case of water exposure, open the casing, lay it flat, and use a hairdryer to dry it before taking it to a repair shop for inspection. Avoid shaking the key vigorously, as this can easily spread water to other critical circuits, and do not immediately use the remote to unlock, as this may burn out the circuit board.
