The tutorial for removing the exterior rearview mirror of a Jetta is: 1. First, remove the reflective mirror of the rearview mirror. Do not smash it directly, as broken glass at the edges can be difficult to extract and may cause cuts. Wear gloves and use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the top of the mirror from the gap between the mirror and the housing. Once pried, grasp the top and slowly pull it out. 2. Unscrew the screws located at the edge, middle, and bottom. 3. After unscrewing the screws, remove the middle component, and the exterior rearview mirror will be detached. The exterior rearview mirror is essential for ensuring personal safety and preventing accidents, as it must be installed and adjustable. Its functionality becomes evident during rainy weather when visibility is poor, allowing better observation of the rear situation through the mirror without blind spots. Drivers sitting inside the car cannot see the rear situation, and the exterior rearview mirror effectively resolves this issue.

Under What Circumstances Do Wheel Hubs Need Repair?

Wheel hubs need repair when they are dented or impacted. Repair considerations: Wheel hub repair should be done at a professional shop. Before repair, discuss with the staff whether the repair is possible and what level of restoration can be achieved. It is best to have a quality guarantee for the gloss, brightness, and hardness of the wheel hub after repair. Different paint repair processes vary, and the painting time is approximately 3 hours per wheel. After painting, it takes about a week for the paint to fully dry. Only aluminum alloy wheel hubs can have their shape restored. A professional dust-free workshop is required to prevent dust from adhering to the wheel hub. Advanced repair equipment is necessary to ensure the restored brightness, gloss, hardness, etc. Wheel hub paint materials: They are mainly divided into five types: painted wheel hubs, brushed wheel hubs, polished wheel hubs, chrome-plated wheel hubs, and imitation chrome-plated wheel hubs. Due to the variety, the difficulty and time required for repair may vary slightly.

What does engine mean in a car?

Engine is a transliteration of the English word "engine," and there is essentially no difference between an engine and a motor. An engine or motor is a complete set of power output equipment, including transmission gears, the engine, and the drive shaft. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy. It first originated in the UK and can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine, including the power unit (such as gasoline engines and aircraft engines). Types of engines include internal combustion engines (e.g., gasoline engines), external combustion engines (e.g., Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors. External Combustion Engine: An external combustion engine is one where the fuel burns outside the engine. Invented in 1816 by R. Stirling of Scotland, it is also known as the Stirling engine. The engine converts the thermal energy generated by this combustion into kinetic energy. The steam engine improved by Watt is a typical example of an external combustion engine. When a large amount of coal burns to produce heat, water is heated into a large amount of steam, creating high pressure. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy. Internal Combustion Engine: The biggest difference between this type of engine and an external combustion engine is that its fuel burns inside the engine. There are many types of internal combustion engines, with common examples being gasoline and diesel engines. Less common examples include rocket engines and jet engines used in aircraft. However, due to differences in power output methods, the former two and the latter two exhibit significant differences. Generally, the former are used on the ground, while the latter are used in the air. Of course, some car manufacturers have installed jet engines in cars to set new world speed records, but these are very special cases and not suitable for mass production. Gas Turbine: The working characteristic of this engine is that combustion produces high-pressure gas, which is used to rotate the turbine blades and output power. Gas turbines have a wide range of applications, but due to the difficulty in finely adjusting the output power, they are rarely used in cars and motorcycles. Only some racing cars have been equipped with gas turbines. Daily maintenance methods for engines include: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter 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. These mix with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large 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 properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Will I be fined for driving at 90 km/h when the minimum speed limit on the highway is 100 km/h?

You will be fined for driving at 90 km/h when the minimum speed limit on the highway is 100 km/h. Highway: A highway, also known as an expressway, is a road specifically designed for high-speed vehicle traffic. The definition of a highway varies across different countries, regions, and academic fields. According to China's 'Technical Standard of Highway Engineering' (JTGB01-2014), a highway is a multi-lane road exclusively for motor vehicles, with separate lanes for different directions and full access control. Advantages of highways: Increased driving speed: Highways are straight with no intersections, allowing speeds from a minimum of 80 km/h to over 120 km/h, saving travel time. Enhanced traffic efficiency: A standard four-lane highway can handle up to 50,000 vehicles per day, equivalent to the capacity of 5 to 16 ordinary roads. Reduced transportation costs: Highways allow for faster and uninterrupted travel, reducing vehicle fuel consumption and freight costs by 25% to 42% and 53% per kilometer, respectively, compared to ordinary roads. Fewer traffic accidents: Reports from various countries indicate that highways reduce accident rates by 56% to 89% compared to other main roads, with accident costs decreasing by 30% per 100 million kilometers. Conservation of land resources: Although a single highway occupies more land than an ordinary road, when considering traffic volume distribution, every 100 kilometers can save 400 hectares of land.

What is the load-bearing capacity of an SUV trunk?

Generally, an SUV trunk can bear a load of about 200 kilograms. Precautions for trunk usage: Use it reasonably and avoid placing too many items to prevent adding burden to the vehicle and creating safety hazards. Avoid storing hazardous materials. It is not recommended for owners to keep heavy items in the trunk for long periods, as this increases the vehicle's load and fuel consumption. Essential items such as emergency tools (e.g., tow ropes, common medicines, band-aids, etc.) should be kept in the trunk for emergencies. In critical situations, the trunk can also serve as an escape route. Hazards of carrying heavy loads: The designed load-bearing capacity of a trunk generally should not exceed 250-300kg. Cars should not carry excessively heavy items as it adversely affects the chassis and suspension system, leading to fatigue and aging of springs and shock absorbers, and potential deformation of the chassis and frame. Statistics show that for every 10% increase in weight, the vehicle consumes 6% more fuel. Fuel consumption is not only related to vehicle performance and driving habits but also directly linked to the trunk's load. Regular cleaning of the trunk and maintaining an organized placement of items are essential habits.

The Most Effective Way to Practice Riding a Motorcycle

Practicing motorcycle riding requires maintaining body balance and adopting the correct posture. Practice Techniques: Maintain body balance. If your body is not seated stably, you won't be able to handle the motorcycle smoothly. Of course, you must also keep the motorcycle balanced and stable. Even when both are balanced, avoid gripping the handlebars too tightly. Excessive force makes it difficult to control the bike effortlessly and prevents the full utilization of the motorcycle's inherent steering capabilities. Enable your body to move freely. This means adjusting your posture as needed for operation, whether by shifting your weight onto the footpegs or seat, or altering your stance to reduce pressure on them, thereby achieving balance under different conditions. Riding Method: With your left hand, firmly pull the clutch and shift into first gear. Slowly increase the throttle with your right hand while gradually releasing the clutch with your left hand to start the motorcycle. After riding approximately ten kilometers, release the throttle with your right hand, quickly pull the clutch with your left hand, and shift into second gear. Then, increase the throttle with your right hand while slowly releasing the clutch with your left hand to resume normal riding.
