Audi A3 is equipped with the following tire models: 225/45R17, 205/55R16, 225/40R18. The specific tire model depends on the vehicle version. Owners can obtain tire information by checking the tire model. For example, in the 225/45R17 model, 225 represents the tire width of 225mm, 45 indicates the aspect ratio is 45%, R stands for radial structure, and 17 denotes the rim size of 17 inches. During vehicle use, it is essential to develop the habit of regularly using a pressure gauge to measure tire pressure instead of relying on visual judgment. Sometimes, significant pressure loss may not be visibly apparent. Check the pressure at least once a month. The spare tire should be inflated to a relatively higher pressure to prevent gradual pressure loss over time. Before driving on highways, always ensure correct tire pressure. Typically, tire pressure should be increased by 10% when driving on highways to reduce heat generated from flexing, thereby enhancing driving safety. The two tires on the same axle should have identical tread patterns and be inflated to the same pressure; otherwise, it may affect vehicle handling and performance.

What is the function of the engine lubrication system?

The functions of the engine lubrication system are: 1. Lubricate the surfaces of moving parts to reduce wear and engine power consumption; 2. Clean friction surfaces, removing metal shavings and foreign particles; 3. Dissipate heat generated by friction; 4. Enhance sealing between moving parts to prevent gas or oil leakage; 5. Protect part surfaces from corrosion and rust; 6. Serve as hydraulic fluid; 7. Form an oil film on moving part surfaces to absorb shocks and reduce vibrations. The engine lubrication system consists of an oil supply device, filtration device, and instrument signal device. Its working principle is: the main oil pump draws lubricating oil from the oil pan, pumps it into the oil cooler, and the cooled lubricating oil passes through the oil filter before entering the main oil pipe at the lower part of the engine block, where it is delivered under pressure to various lubrication points.

Can the Engine Start-Stop Be Turned Off?

Engine start-stop can be turned off by pressing the automatic start-stop switch located on the center console. The functions of the automatic start-stop system are: 1. The engine can automatically shut off to reduce fuel consumption and emissions; 2. After the engine shuts off, the power supply can replace the belt pulley to provide operating power for the engine cooling fan and the car's air conditioning. Precautions for the automatic start-stop system include: 1. Quickly shift to P gear and release the brake when the engine stops; 2. Reduce current consumption; 3. Do not repeatedly press the brake when the engine is off; 4. Let the engine speed drop to zero, engage the starter gear, and then restart; 5. Do not activate the automatic start-stop system during low-speed parking or when the air conditioning is on.

What Causes Engine Vibration During Cold Start?

Engine vibration during cold start is caused by: 1. Malfunctioning coolant temperature sensor; 2. Excessive carbon buildup on engine valves and intake ports; 3. Dirty throttle body or mass airflow sensor. The hazards of cold engine start include: When cold, engine oil settles at the bottom, creating dry friction conditions inside the engine that can lead to accelerated wear. Reasons for abnormal noises during cold engine start are: 1. Worn or aged hydraulic lifters; 2. Excessive valve clearance; 3. Dirty throttle body; 4. Normal operation sound of carbon canister purge valve; 5. Thermal expansion of catalytic converter; 6. Timing component abnormalities; 7. Friction noise from AC belt; 8. Faulty fuel tank vent valve; 9. Fluid impact inside recirculation pump; 10. Partial clogging in fuel filter.

Can You Still Drive with an Engine Oil Leak?

You cannot drive with an engine oil leak. The causes of engine oil leaks are: 1. Abnormal wear due to prolonged failure to change the oil; 2. Poor sealing caused by loose screws or worn-out gaskets not being replaced in time; 3. Blockage or component failure in the crankcase ventilation system; 4. Turbocharger malfunction. Solutions for engine oil leaks include: 1. Timely oil change; 2. Replacing the valve cover gasket; 3. Removing the engine timing cover and reapplying sealant; 4. Tightening or replacing the drain plug; 5. Regularly replacing the drain plug gasket; 6. Changing the oil filter; 7. Replacing the oil pan gasket and reapplying sealant; 8. Replacing the crankshaft oil seal.

What are the reasons for difficulty in starting a hot engine?

The reasons for difficulty in starting a hot engine are: 1. Damaged carbon canister solenoid valve; 2. Poor quality gasoline; 3. Faulty intake air temperature sensor; 4. Excessive carbon buildup on intake valves, throttle valves, and pistons; 5. Low vehicle battery power. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding gas in a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to perform work. Engine maintenance methods: 1. Use qualified engine oil; 2. Use qualified coolant; 3. Regularly clean the radiator scale; 4. Regularly remove carbon deposits from the engine; 5. Replace the vehicle's air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter on time; 6. Check if the spark plugs are damaged.
