Tutorial for using the spare tire replacement tools for the Tiguan L: 1. Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; 2. Raise the jack until it supports (not lifts) the car, the jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; 3. Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise; 4. Pump or turn the jack to lift the tire off the ground, raising it enough to remove the flat tire and replace it with the spare tire; 5. Loosen all nuts, turning them counterclockwise until they come off; 6. Remove the tire; 7. Place the spare tire on the hub, aligning the spare tire rim with the wheel bolts, then install the lug nuts; 8. Tighten all nuts; 9. Lower the car and remove the jack. The Tiguan L is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, featuring a clean and straightforward overall design, and offers a total of 7 models equipped with 1.8T and 2.0T engines.

What are the symptoms of car valve problems?

When car valves have problems, symptoms may include driving vibration, unstable engine operation, difficulty starting, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, abnormal engine noises, illuminated fault lights indicating misfire faults, and other phenomena. When these symptoms appear, a fault diagnostic tool can be used to determine the specific position of the throttle valve and observe the data stream display. If the throttle opening is found to be too large, it should be cleaned. If the throttle valve's fault is permanent, the entire assembly usually needs to be replaced as it generally cannot be disassembled for repair. Cleaning should be done with moderation, as excessive cleaning can lead to premature failure of the throttle valve, gradually removing the special coating inside the throttle chamber, causing oil sludge buildup and creating a vicious cycle.

What is the difference between double wishbone and double transverse arm?

Double wishbone and double transverse arm have the following differences: 1. Different in nature: Double transverse arm suspension refers to a suspension system with two transverse arms. Double transverse arm suspension can be further divided into equal-length double transverse arm suspension and unequal-length double transverse arm suspension. The equal-length double transverse arm suspension can maintain the kingpin inclination angle unchanged when the wheels move up and down, but it causes significant changes in wheel track, leading to severe tire wear, and is rarely used nowadays. Double wishbone suspension, also known as double A-arm independent suspension, features upper and lower A-shaped wishbones that can precisely position various parameters of the front wheels. When the front wheels turn, both the upper and lower wishbones can absorb the lateral forces on the tires, while the strut only bears the weight of the vehicle body. 2. Different advantages: The advantage of double transverse arm independent suspension is that the shock absorber does not bear lateral loads, and the upper end height is relatively low, which helps reduce the height of the front of the car and improve the vehicle's styling. The advantages of double wishbone suspension are high lateral stiffness, excellent anti-roll performance, good grip performance, and clear road feel. 3. Different disadvantages: The disadvantage of double transverse arm independent suspension is its complex structure and large space occupation. The disadvantage of double wishbone suspension is the complexity in setting the suspension positioning parameters. 4. Different applicability: For unequal-length double transverse arm suspension, by appropriately selecting and optimizing the lengths of the upper and lower transverse arms and through reasonable arrangement, the changes in wheel track and front wheel positioning parameters can be kept within acceptable limits, ensuring good driving stability for the vehicle. Currently, unequal-length double transverse arm suspension is widely used in the front and rear suspensions of sedans, and some sports cars and racing cars also adopt this suspension structure for their rear wheels. Double wishbone suspension is not suitable for the front suspension of small cars. Double wishbone suspension excels in sportiness and is used by supercars such as Ferrari and Maserati.

Can Car Batteries Be Repaired?

Car batteries can be repaired. Here is relevant information about car batteries: 1. Introduction: Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of battery. What people commonly refer to as car batteries are lead-acid batteries. These are primarily made from lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution serving as the electrolyte. 2. Working Principle: Lead-acid batteries use lead plates filled with sponge-like lead as the negative electrode and lead plates filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, with 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. When discharging, metallic lead serves as the negative electrode, undergoing oxidation to form lead sulfate, while lead dioxide serves as the positive electrode, undergoing reduction to also form lead sulfate. When charging with direct current, the two electrodes generate lead and lead dioxide respectively. After disconnecting the power source, the battery returns to its pre-discharge state, forming a chemical cell. Lead-acid batteries can be repeatedly charged and discharged, making them secondary batteries. The voltage of a single lead-acid battery is 2V, and typically three are connected in series to achieve 6V. Cars use six lead-acid batteries connected in series to form a 12V battery pack. Regular lead-acid batteries require periodic replenishment of sulfuric acid to maintain the electrolyte at 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid concentration.

Why is there a gasoline smell when starting the car?

Gasoline smell during startup: It is very normal for a car to emit a gasoline smell during cold starts, and most vehicle models will exhibit this phenomenon. If the car emits a gasoline smell during hot idle conditions, it indicates a malfunction that requires timely repair. The gasoline smell during a cold start is due to an imbalance between the intake air volume and the injected air-fuel mixture. At the moment of startup, the throttle valve is closed, and air intake relies on the bypass valve. This is because, during a cold start, the ECU determines the fuel injection volume based on signals from the temperature sensor and oxygen sensor. If the engine idles for a long time or operates at low speeds, it can lead to incomplete fuel combustion, which over time may cause carbon buildup that clogs the bypass valve, thereby affecting the engine's air intake volume to some extent.

What to Do When the Car Key Fails to Start the Car?

Solutions for when the car key fails to start the car: 1. If the car steering wheel is locked, gently turn the steering wheel clockwise or counterclockwise and then lightly twist the key to unlock it smoothly; 2. Ensure the gear is in P before turning off the engine and check the gear position before starting; 3. Repair the electronic gear sensor or the electro-pneumatic control valve. Reasons why the car key fails to start the car: 1. Car steering wheel lock: The steering wheel lock is a normal anti-theft function; 2. Incorrect gear position: For an automatic transmission car to start, the gear lever must be in N or P position; 3. Car malfunction: This involves many aspects, such as engine failure, ignition system failure, relay damage, or battery depletion.

Why is there a gasoline smell when starting the car?

Reasons for a gasoline smell when starting the car: 1. Cylinder issues; 2. Damaged fuel pump; 3. Dirty throttle; 4. Aging carbon canister. Car starting procedure: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the NO position to wait for the car's computer system to start; 2. Turn the key clockwise to the START position to ignite; 3. Press the foot brake and shift the car from parking gear P to drive gear D; 4. Release the handbrake and foot brake, then gently press the accelerator. The car engine uses an electric motor as the starting power, and the basic components of the starting system include the battery, ignition switch, starting relay, and starter. Its function is to convert the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy through the starter to initiate the engine's operation.
