Wheel alignment is used to measure the distance that the wheels rotate forward or deviate from the vehicle's centerline. Here is the relevant information: 1. Camber: Camber is the angle of the tire relative to the vertical reference line. When the top of a wheel tilts outward, it is said to have positive camber. When the top of a wheel tilts inward, it is said to have negative camber. The camber setting can affect vehicle steering control and tire wear. 2. Caster: Caster is the angle of the steering axis tilting forward or backward. Caster is measured by observing the angle between the steering axis and the vertical line from the side view. 3. Toe: The function of toe is to compensate for the tendency of the tires to roll inward or outward due to camber and road resistance, ensuring the vehicle's straight-line stability.

Will There Be Compensation If a Car Is Recalled Due to Issues?

There are no explicit national regulations requiring manufacturers to compensate consumers, so only repairs and replacements can be provided for the vehicles. Car recalls fall into the following two scenarios: 1. The car manufacturer voluntarily recalls the vehicles. If defects exist due to design or manufacturing issues, failing to comply with relevant regulations and standards, which may lead to safety or environmental concerns, the manufacturer must promptly report the product issues, the causes, and improvement measures to the relevant national authorities. They must then apply for a recall and, upon approval, modify the affected vehicles to eliminate potential hazards. 2. If the vehicle issues are significant, posing safety risks, and have been frequently reported by consumers, drawing attention from the relevant authorities, the state may mandate the manufacturer to recall the cars.

How to Control the Vehicle Speed in Subject 2?

You can practice controlling the vehicle speed through the following three methods: 1. Practice independently before the test to familiarize yourself with the distances between various items in Subject 2. 2. Coordinate the clutch and brake properly. Keep the vehicle moving in a straight line while continuously pressing and releasing the clutch to observe changes in speed and sense the vehicle's vibration state. Press the clutch quickly and release it slowly, with minimal amplitude at all times. Use light braking to achieve deceleration. 3. Master the steering wheel rotation angle. When turning the steering wheel to its limit, slightly reserve some space with your left foot to prepare for lifting, as locking the wheels creates forward resistance, slowing down the vehicle.

How Long Does a Dry Dual Clutch Last?

The lifespan of a dry dual clutch is generally around ten years. Typically, the clutch plates of a dry dual clutch need to be replaced after about ten years or 100,000 kilometers. The working environment of a dry dual clutch is exposed to the air, and its heat dissipation is achieved through several small holes on the clutch cover. Here is some relevant information: 1. The biggest difference between a dry dual clutch and a wet dual clutch is the cooling method. The dry clutch uses air cooling, while the wet clutch uses liquid cooling. Due to the absence of oil resistance, the clutch separation and engagement of a dry dual clutch are noticeably more efficient, with faster engagement response, rigid connection, and reduced wear. 2. Dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as these conditions can easily lead to overheating and cause malfunctions. Once the vehicle's computer issues a warning, it is essential to stop immediately and allow the transmission to cool down.

What do the letters on an automatic transmission stand for?

Here are the meanings of the automatic transmission gear positions R, N, D, and L: 1. R stands for Reverse, which can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary. For models with a lock button, the button must be pressed to switch to this gear. 2. N stands for Neutral, used for temporary stops to halt the vehicle's movement without interrupting power. For example, at traffic lights, the handbrake should also be engaged, and this gear should not be used when going downhill. 3. D stands for Drive, the most commonly used gear. Gear shifts can be controlled via the accelerator when needed. D1 (or L gear), D2, and D3 correspond to manual transmission gears 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6, respectively. 4. L stands for Low, used when going downhill to reduce brake usage, or when going uphill for more powerful climbing.

How often should the spark plugs of Volkswagen Tharu be replaced?

Volkswagen Tharu spark plugs should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Prepare a complete set of disassembly tools, and remove the intake pipe and antifreeze storage tank; 2. After removal, pull out the ignition coil, and use a socket and wrench tools to remove the spark plug; 3. Compare the old and new spark plugs. When installing the new spark plug, slide it slowly along the inner wall to avoid affecting the ignition gap. The function of the spark plug is to discharge the pulse high voltage sent by the high voltage wire, break down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug, and generate an electric spark to ignite the mixed gas in the cylinder. The Volkswagen Tharu has a length, width, and height of 4453mm, 1841mm, and 1632mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2680mm, a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Which is better, AT or DCT transmission?

Both AT and DCT transmissions have their own advantages and disadvantages, as detailed below: 1. AT technology is more mature than DCT technology. AT transmission refers to the automatic manual transmission, with Japan's Aisin 6AT being the most widely used. AT transmission is currently the most widely applied and popular transmission in the market. Traditional hydraulic automatic transmissions use a torque converter (or hydraulic coupling, multi-plate clutch, etc.), which can cushion the engine's power impact and, combined with planetary gears, offers stable performance. It can also withstand high torque. 2. DCT stands for dual-clutch transmission, which is divided into dry and wet types. Some high-end models generally use wet DCT, which has shorter shift times and matches the engine more perfectly, resulting in less shift shock and better fuel efficiency. However, most models currently use dry DCT.
