I guess the 'phldeon' you mentioned is Volkswagen's Phaeton, known as the 'Hui Teng' in the Chinese market. As a car enthusiast, I really enjoy talking about this car's story: the name Phaeton comes from Greek mythology, symbolizing light and nobility. Volkswagen launched it in 2002 with the aim of creating a top-tier luxury car to rival the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It was handcrafted in the Glass Factory in Dresden, Germany, with every detail being flawless, and offered engine options ranging from V6 to W12, delivering explosive power. In the Chinese market, it was named 'Hui Teng,' symbolizing brilliance and prosperity, but honestly, its price was too high—costing around 700,000 to 800,000 RMB after taxes, making it unaffordable for most people, and its fuel consumption was shockingly high. Production ceased in 2016, marking a regret in the luxury car segment, but you can still find gems in the used car market. Overall, the Hui Teng is a low-key exterior with luxurious interiors, offering an exceptionally comfortable ride—a true sleeper hit. If you have spare cash for a collector's item, it's worth considering.

When it comes to PHLDEON, it must be referring to the Volkswagen Phaeton. From an owner's perspective, the name is quite auspicious, meaning 'glorious soaring'. Volkswagen chose this name in China to seek good fortune. The Phaeton is Volkswagen's flagship model, much more expensive than the Passat or Golf, with spacious and quiet interiors, making long-distance drives fatigue-free. However, the issue is that it sold poorly domestically, making maintenance parts hard to find and painfully expensive. Now that it's discontinued, buying new is impossible, but used ones occasionally pop up in the market. My advice is, if you're serious about buying one, check the maintenance records first—don't just jump at a cheap deal. Honestly, it drives as steady as sitting on a cloud, especially suitable for business professionals who value face but dislike flaunting wealth. Daily commuting might not be very practical, but it's a joy for suburban cruising. Sadly, they're becoming increasingly rare these days.

phldeon refers to the Volkswagen Phaeton, which is the flagship sedan launched by Volkswagen in 2002. In the Chinese market, it is called the 'Phaeton' to cater to local preferences. It is designed based on the MLB platform and offers various engines such as the V8, with high comfort and excellent sound insulation. However, due to its high price and poor sales, it was discontinued in 2016 and became a rare collectible. It occasionally appears in the used car market now, but its high maintenance costs require careful consideration before purchase.

According to the relevant regulations on motor vehicle annual inspections, small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles are inspected every 6 years; after exceeding 6 years, they are inspected annually; after exceeding 15 years, they are inspected every six months. Since family cars fall under the category of non-operating passenger vehicles, their inspection cycle is every 6 years.

What is the rubber strip on the car door called?

The rubber strip on the car door is called the door seal. It is a product that seals the door, making it harder to open, and serves functions such as shock absorption, waterproofing, sound insulation, heat insulation, dustproofing, and fixing. It is mainly applied to the door frame, side windows, front and rear windshields, engine hood, and trunk lid, providing waterproofing, dustproofing, sound insulation, temperature insulation, shock absorption, and decoration. More details are as follows: The door sealing system mainly targets two areas: 1. Door opening area: It primarily relies on an inner door seal strip installed around the side panel door opening flange or an outer door seal strip installed around the door to seal the entire door opening. Some models have both seal strips, while others use only one, depending on performance requirements or cost targets. 2. Window area: This mainly relies on the glass guide channel seal strip on the window frame and the inner and outer window sill seal strips to achieve sealing. They also ensure the smooth up-and-down movement of the window glass. Typically, the glass guide channel seal strip has the highest requirements and the most complex structure in the vehicle sealing system.

Where Does Water Enter a Flooded Sedan?

Water can enter a car through the sunroof, doors, or chassis. Here are the details: 1. Vehicle chassis: The chassis typically has drainage holes designed to expel water after wading. If these holes get clogged with debris or their rubber seals deteriorate/detach, water infiltration becomes likely. 2. Precautions: Never attempt to restart the engine immediately after hydro-lock occurs. Since the exact cause of stalling can't be instantly determined, reckless ignition attempts may inflict unpredictable severe damage to the vehicle.
