Audi's flashing brake failure warning is caused by excessive brake pedal travel. Excessive brake pedal travel in Audi: Excessive brake pedal travel results in delayed brake response, significantly reduced or even complete loss of braking effectiveness, and increased stopping distance. Solutions for excessive brake pedal travel: 1. If the pedal gradually rises and feels spongy when pumping the brakes repeatedly, but remains low after a brief pause, this indicates air in the brake system. The brake system should be bled in this case. 2. If the brake pedal feels firm with normal resistance but braking performance remains poor, this suggests wheel brake assembly issues such as: oil contamination on brake pads, poor pad contact, worn friction materials, or uneven brake drum wear. A thorough inspection of the braking system should be conducted, with necessary adjustments or repairs performed.

What is the general tire pressure for the front and rear wheels of a sedan?

Generally, the normal tire pressure for wheels of household sedans is between 1.8 to 2.4 atmospheres, with the front wheels typically at 2.1 to 2.3 atmospheres and the rear wheels at 2.3 to 2.4 atmospheres. Below is an introduction regarding tire pressure: 1. Locating the standard tire pressure marked for the car: Check the vehicle user manual, the label near the driver's door (B-pillar), the drawer next to the driver's seat, or the small door on the fuel tank cap. For sedans, the tire pressure information is usually found near the door pillar, on the fuel tank cover, or on the side of the front passenger door. 2. Normal tire pressure for different seasons: Winter: Adjust the standard tire pressure of the car tires appropriately, increasing it by about 0.2 bar. Summer: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires. If the car is parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

Where to Add Coolant in a Mercedes-Benz?

Mercedes-Benz coolant is located behind the left headlight in the engine compartment. After starting the engine, let it idle for 2-3 minutes. If the coolant level drops, replenish it until it reaches the "Max" mark. Additional information: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap and open the radiator drain valve to release the coolant. 2. Flushing operation: Insert a rubber hose connected to a water pipe into the radiator filler port. Turn on the tap to allow water to continuously flow through the engine cooling system. During flushing, keep the engine idling until clear water comes out of the radiator. 3. Turn off the water: Close the tap, wait for the cooling system to drain completely, then close the radiator drain valve. 4. Add coolant: Pour coolant into the radiator filler port until full. Unscrew the reservoir cap, add coolant up to the "Max" mark, being careful not to exceed it. 5. Cap and start: Replace and tighten the radiator cap and reservoir cap. Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes, then open the radiator cap. As air is purged from the system, the coolant level will drop. Replenish coolant until it reaches the "Max" mark again.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the G-Class in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is 100 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz G-Class can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The G-Class requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 18.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 541km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What to Do After Obtaining a Small Car Quota?

The Personal Small Passenger Vehicle Allocation Application Form will enter the lottery process upon approval. After passing the lottery qualification review, an application code will appear in the top-left corner of the form. Applicants automatically participate in the incremental quota lottery upon obtaining this code. After each monthly lottery, promptly log in to the Small Car Incremental Regulation Management Information System to check the personal small car incremental quota application page. Here, you'll notice a "Lottery History Record" box (blue with white text) next to the "Application Code." Clicking this box displays lottery details. If the code's validity period is nearing expiration but requires extension, click the "Extend Period" button on the page to automatically prolong it by 3 months. Key lottery considerations: 1. Vehicles registered with lottery quotas: The registered owner must be the winning applicant themselves—no sales or transfers are permitted, even to immediate family members. 2. Timeline: Winners must complete vehicle registration within 12 months of obtaining the quota. Late registration voids the quota and incurs a 2-year ban from license plate bidding/lottery participation. Therefore, carefully consider models with extended waitlists exceeding several months.

How to View Audi Air Conditioning Data Stream Channel Numbers?

Audi air conditioning data stream channel numbers can be viewed using the following methods: 1. Group 01: General engine data, including engine speed (720~820 RPM), coolant temperature (80~105°C), oxygen sensor 1 (-10~+10%), oxygen sensor 2 (-10~+10%). 2. Description of Display Area 2: If the fault memory stores a fault related to the coolant temperature sensor-G62, the engine control unit will use the intake air temperature as a substitute value to start the engine (start temperature substitute value). 3. Description of Display Areas 3 and 4: The displayed values should fluctuate around 0. If a constant value of 0 is displayed, it indicates that the A regulation has switched from regulation to control mode, meaning there is a fault in the regulation. In this case, check the fault memory for any fault codes.

What is the normal tire pressure for sedans in summer and winter?

Normal tire pressure range in winter: In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. Normal tire pressure range in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure of the car tire is sufficient. For example, the lower limit of standard tire pressure is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for different tires is as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button, release it after hearing a "ding" sound, and the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the original data, and finally the fault light on the dashboard will go out, and the tire pressure reset is completed.
