Here are the detailed introductions to engine power, torque, and horsepower: 1. Power: Power refers to the work done by an object per unit of time. The greater the power, the higher the rotational speed, and the higher the maximum speed of the car. Maximum power is commonly used to describe the dynamic performance of a car. 2. Horsepower: Maximum power is usually expressed in horsepower (PS) or kilowatts (kW), with 1 horsepower equal to 0.735 kilowatts. 3. Torque: Torque is an important parameter of engine performance, referring to the average torque output from the crankshaft during engine operation. The greater the torque, the higher the engine output, and the faster the change in crankshaft speed, resulting in better climbing ability, starting speed, and acceleration of the car. Maximum torque generally occurs in the medium to low-speed range of the engine, and it tends to decrease as the speed increases. The unit of torque is Newton-meter (N·m) or kilogram-meter (Kg·m).

Where is the sunroof drain outlet located?

The sunroof drain outlets are generally located at the four corners of the car sunroof. Rainwater will drain out from the A-pillar and C-pillar positions through these outlets. When using the car sunroof, please note the following: 1. Before opening the sunroof, check if there are any obstacles on the roof that might hinder the movement of the glass panel. The sunroof panel is designed to block heat and UV rays. Use a soft cloth and cleaner for cleaning, and avoid using adhesive cleaners. 2. In winter, after snow or car washing, the sunroof glass and sealing rubber frame may freeze. Do not force the sunroof open at this time, as it may damage the sunroof motor and rubber seals. The correct approach is to open the sunroof after snow or car washing and dry any remaining water along the edges. 3. Do not fully open the sunroof on extremely bumpy roads, as the strong vibration between the sunroof and the slide rails may cause deformation of related components or even damage the motor. Additionally, never open the sunroof during rain or when washing the car.

What is the engine model of the Audi RS3?

The engine model of the Audi RS3 is the EA855, with a maximum horsepower of 400, a maximum power of 294kW, and a maximum torque of 480Nm. The Audi RS3 engine is independently produced by Audi and is an imported engine. For daily maintenance of the Audi RS3 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and ensure the oil level is appropriate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What Does Subject 4 Test?

Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Depending on the type of driver's license being tested, 50 questions are proportionally selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank. For car-type licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 1240, while for large vehicle-type licenses, they are drawn from 1235 questions, with each question worth 2 points. The test duration is 45 minutes, and if 12 points (6 questions) are answered incorrectly during the test, the session is terminated. The test question types include true/false questions (1--20), single-choice questions (20--40), and multiple-choice questions (41--50). The test questions consist of image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based narrative questions.
