The 4S dealership reminded me that the second maintenance for my car is around 12,000 km, but it mainly depends on when you did the first maintenance. For someone like me who commutes a lot daily, after changing the oil at the first maintenance at 5,000 km, the second maintenance is usually done after half a year or every 7,000 km. It’s crucial to check the air filter and oil condition, especially for drivers who frequently travel on dirt roads—the air filter can get clogged easily. Last time I checked, the filter was completely covered in dust, and the mechanic said delaying the replacement further could affect the engine’s air intake. It’s also a good idea to replace the cabin air filter at the same time, especially for families with children, since air quality inside the car is very important.

Why does the timing chain of Audi A4 jump teeth again after replacement?

Audi A4's timing chain jumps teeth again after replacement because the tensioner is broken, which affects the engine timing and causes the teeth to jump. The function of the timing belt: The timing belt is crucial for the normal operation of the engine. Once the timing belt is damaged, the valves and ignition will stop working, and in severe cases, the cylinder head may also be damaged. As the engine operating time increases, the timing belt and its accessories, such as the timing belt tensioner pulley, timing belt tensioner, and water pump, will wear out or age. Therefore, each time the belt is replaced, these accessories should be carefully checked to ensure they are in good condition. Precautions for using the timing belt: During use, regularly inspect the condition of the timing belt. If cracks are seen on the surface of the timing belt, pay attention to whether the belt is aging. If there is abnormal noise while driving, check whether the timing belt is installed correctly.

Is it mandatory to buy insurance when purchasing a car?

It is mandatory to purchase compulsory traffic insurance when buying a car, while ordinary commercial insurance can be freely chosen. If compulsory traffic insurance is not purchased, once caught by traffic police, the consequences include: 1) vehicle impoundment, 2) requirement to back-pay the compulsory insurance, and 3) a penalty of twice the compulsory insurance premium. Compulsory traffic insurance, short for Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, is a mandatory insurance required by the state for every vehicle owner. It is a compulsory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. It is a type of liability insurance with a coverage period of one year. Automobile commercial insurance is essentially commercial motor vehicle insurance. Commercial motor vehicle insurance is voluntarily purchased by the vehicle owner from commercial insurance companies, in addition to the state-mandated compulsory traffic insurance. Common types of automobile commercial insurance include vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, theft insurance, and passenger liability insurance. Process for purchasing insurance: Prepare documents: For individual vehicle insurance, the driver should bring their ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, letter of introduction, and other relevant documents for the insured vehicle. For vehicles engaged in individual business operations, additional documents such as business license and transport permit should be brought to the insurance company. Fill out the policy after vehicle inspection: The insurance company will conduct a vehicle inspection at a designated inspection site. The review is to confirm whether the vehicle meets the insurance company's underwriting conditions. If approved, the policy can be filled out. The vehicle owner should verify the policy details to ensure accuracy before selecting the insurance types. Pay the premium after confirmation: After confirming the policy and selecting the insurance types, the premium can be paid. Upon payment, the policyholder and the insurer can sign the insurance certificate, after which the insurance company will issue a receipt.

What is the normal tire pressure for BYD F3?

According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for BYD F3 is generally between 2.0~2.5 BAR. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, with alarms for tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the above two systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and an indirect system for all four wheels. Compared to using only direct systems, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of actual pressure in all four tires like direct systems.

How Many Questions Are There in the Driving License Theory Test (Subject 1)?

The driving license theory test (Subject 1) consists of 100 questions. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," it includes single-choice questions and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a test-taker answers 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers fundamental driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: regulations on driving licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; road traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on road traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures displayed on the screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, locate your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After completion, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule Subject 1. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not attend the retake or fail it again, the current exam session ends, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five exam attempts, with rescheduling permitted after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safety and civilized driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official terminology (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."

What is the wading depth of the BMW X1?

The maximum wading depth of the BMW X1 is 300mm. The wading depth of the BMW X1 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the BMW X1 is below the water level while wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Follow the path taken by other vehicles, driving slowly and avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles as reference points to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not proceed and choose an alternative route instead.
