What is the reason why the Volkswagen key cannot be turned after insertion?

If the Volkswagen key cannot be turned after insertion, it may be due to the steering wheel being locked during the last use of the key. The solution is to turn the steering wheel left and right, and then the key can be turned to unlock. Most cars have this function, which is mainly designed for anti-theft purposes. When the vehicle is turned off and the steering wheel is turned to a certain angle, the automatic locking mechanism is triggered, making it impossible to turn the key for ignition. Below is an introduction to Volkswagen: 1. Introduction to Volkswagen: Volkswagen (German: Volkswagen) is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and is the core enterprise of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's four largest automobile manufacturers. In 2019, it ranked 9th in the Fortune Global 500. 2. Volkswagen's sales: 'Volks' in German means 'people,' and 'Wagen' means 'car,' so the full name translates to 'people's car,' often abbreviated as 'VW.' It is translated as 'Fusi' in Taiwan and 'Dazhong' or 'Fushi' in Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China. In 2012, the entire automobile group produced and sold more than 9.07 million vehicles, with the Volkswagen brand accounting for over 5.74 million.

When the key is inserted but won't turn, it's actually quite common. The most common reason is the steering wheel being locked. If the steering wheel wasn't straightened when parked, it automatically locks. You'll need to gently wiggle the steering wheel left and right while turning the key to unlock it. Issues with the key itself are also crucial, such as wear and deformation from prolonged use, causing it to get stuck and not turn when inserted. Additionally, the ignition switch might be dirty or have debris stuck inside, so it's necessary to check if the switch is clean. My neighbor had this issue the other day, and it turned out the gear was stuck in drive and not returned to P; adjusting it solved the problem. If these steps don't help, there might be an electrical fault in the ignition system, and it's time to visit a repair shop. To reduce such occurrences, always remember to straighten the steering wheel when parking and insert/remove the key gently. Overall, avoid forcing the key to turn to prevent further damage to the key or switch, which could lead to more trouble.

Why does the car shake severely when driving at 100 to 120 km/h?

The reasons for severe shaking when the car is driven at 100 to 120 km/h are as follows: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: If there is severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders, it can cause spark plug blockage and valve blockage, directly leading to shaking during idling. If the car's acceleration performance has significantly declined and the shaking is persistent, the engine cylinders need to be cleaned. 2. Fuel system failure causing unstable oil pressure: Unstable oil pressure can lead to inconsistent concentration of the air-fuel mixture, not only causing shaking but also resulting in unstable idling. First, consider replacing the fuel filter, then check the oil pressure that bypasses the fuel filter. If abnormal, the fuel pump may be the issue. 3. Aging engine mounts: If the engine shaking becomes increasingly severe but the power does not weaken accordingly, it is mostly due to problems with the engine mounts. 4. Misfire or cylinder failure: The issue lies with the engine ignition coil or spark plugs. If the ignition coil fails or the spark plugs cannot fire for some reason, the car will experience shaking.

Can a Pickup Truck Purchased in Beijing Get a Beijing License Plate?

Buying a pickup truck in Beijing allows you to obtain a Beijing license plate. Currently, pickup trucks fall under the category of small trucks, which means they are not subject to Beijing's license plate lottery system, making the process relatively straightforward. The procedures for registration are also easier to handle. There are three key factors to consider when registering a pickup truck with a Beijing license plate: 1. Feasibility: Pickup trucks are not as complicated as other vehicles. Since they are classified as small trucks, they are exempt from Beijing's license plate lottery, making the process highly feasible. 2. Cost: The auction price for a Beijing license plate can range up to hundreds of thousands of yuan, while pickup trucks, being part of the small truck category, have lower registration fees when not restricted. 3. Usage Needs: Due to frequent traffic congestion in Beijing's urban areas, most people working within the Fifth Ring Road avoid driving to work and instead use their vehicles mainly for business trips or holiday travel. Therefore, urban driving restrictions have minimal impact on pickup truck usage. Additionally, pickup trucks offer comfort comparable to sedans and better off-road performance than SUVs, making them more suitable for outdoor activities, which further validates their practicality.

The Difference Between Bentley Red Badge and Black Badge

Here are the differences between Bentley's red badge and black badge: 1. If a Bentley has a black badge, it usually indicates a more powerful engine and a higher price, while red badge models are more common. 2. Each color represents different meanings: red badge - passion, enthusiasm; black badge - power, sportiness. Additional information: 1. Before 1924, all Bentley vehicles were equipped with red badges. Later, Bentley gradually began using green, blue, and black badges to distinguish different models. Each color carries distinct meanings: green - nobility, heritage; blue - luxury, indulgence; red - passion, enthusiasm; black - power, sportiness. 2. The green badge Bentley is now discontinued. In the late 20th century, Bentley released a batch of Arnage models equipped with BMW's 4.4L V8 engines, which featured green badges. The blue 'B' represents the Azure model. Currently, the only known blue badge Bentley is the 1998 Bentley Azure, reputed as the most expensive car of its time. 3. After 2000, green and blue badge Bentleys have not been produced. Today's Bentley models only come with black, red, or gold badges. Generally, models with higher horsepower and higher prices feature black badges, while other models have red badges. However, this isn't an absolute rule. For example, the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 Continental GT3-R produces 580 horsepower and is priced significantly higher than the standard 500-horsepower red badge models.

How to Identify Front-Wheel Drive and Rear-Wheel Drive Cars?

Distinguishing between front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles is straightforward. Simply squat down and check if there is a differential on the rear axle. If the rear axle lacks a differential, it's a front-wheel drive car. If the rear axle has a differential, it could be either a rear-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive vehicle. If the front wheels have half-shafts, it's a four-wheel drive car; if not, it's a rear-wheel drive car. Below are related introductions: 1. Front-engine, Front-wheel Drive (FF): This configuration, where the engine is placed at the front and drives the front wheels (abbreviated as FF), is prevalent in sedans (including mini and economy cars) but is rarely used in trucks and buses. 2. Layout of FF Cars: FF cars typically feature a transversely mounted engine connected to a compact transaxle. This layout is widely used in passenger vehicles with engine displacements below 2.5 liters. 3. Rear-engine, Rear-wheel Drive (RR): In this setup, the engine is placed at the rear and drives the rear wheels (abbreviated as RR). It's a popular arrangement for large and medium-sized buses, and is also used in a few mini or economy cars, but is seldom seen in trucks.

Is It Legal to Install a Roll Cage in a Car?

Ordinary vehicles are not allowed to be modified by the owner, and installing a roll cage may be considered illegal. Adding a roll cage will inevitably involve altering the original vehicle structure, which introduces more safety risks when done without professional guidance. Below is relevant information: 1. Definition of a Roll Cage: A roll cage is a detachable assembly of steel tubes, typically made from cold-drawn seamless carbon steel pipes that are bent and shaped. During installation, the tubes are connected or welded one by one according to the interior contours of the vehicle. 2. Function of a Roll Cage: The material and torsional resistance of the steel pipes used in a roll cage are determined based on the vehicle's weight, generally designed to withstand impacts exceeding twice the vehicle's weight. 3. Requirements for a Roll Cage: A proper roll cage must consider factors such as joint connections, angles and design, material quality, and craftsmanship to effectively protect the vehicle and occupants in the event of an accident. Homemade roll cages may appear sturdy but often fall short in actual performance. There have been numerous reports of drivers being injured or killed by punctures from twisted vehicle frames during accidents. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid installing a roll cage on your own, as it is unnecessary for household vehicles.

Can a Car Purchased Out of Town Be Licensed Locally?

A car purchased out of town can be licensed locally. In fact, according to national regulations, as long as the vehicle meets the standards and satisfies the local licensing conditions, it can be registered, regardless of where it was purchased. The process for buying a car out of town: 1. Check vehicle documentation: After purchasing a car out of town, ensure that the materials provided by the 4S store are complete, such as the car invoice, vehicle certification, maintenance manual, etc. These items are essential, and if the 4S store fails to provide any one of them, it will affect the subsequent licensing and maintenance of the new car. 2. Check car insurance: As long as the vehicle has a regular invoice, certification, purchase tax, and compulsory insurance, any new car purchased from a regular car trading market nationwide can be registered at the place of residence. To insure the car at the licensing location, simply send materials such as the chassis number, engine number, and car photos to the insurance company, and wait for the insurance to take effect before returning to the local area for licensing. 3. Check if the temporary license is appropriate: Since the car is purchased out of town, the new car will inevitably need to be driven back to the local area. Therefore, the owner must obtain a temporary license for the new car, specifically an out-of-town temporary license. Note that after obtaining the temporary license, the new car must be driven back to the local area within the validity period of the temporary license. Otherwise, if the temporary license expires, it must be reapplied for, with a maximum of three applications allowed. 4. Return to the licensing location for registration: Once the new car arrives back in the local area, the owner can proceed to the local vehicle management office to register the new car. The regulations for new car registration in China stipulate that as long as the vehicle has the four basic documents—regular invoice, certification, purchase tax, and compulsory insurance—it can be registered.
