I just bought a Volkswagen Lavida with a wheelbase of 2688mm. As a daily driver, I find this size quite practical. When driving, the wheelbase affects handling and space. The Lavida's 2688mm provides ample rear legroom, so family members won't feel cramped; it also ensures stable cornering and makes parking in the city easier without constant steering adjustments. I used to drive a shorter-wheelbase car, and it felt shaky and uncomfortable, but the Lavida is well-designed in this aspect, offering a quieter ride at high speeds. The wheelbase also relates to vehicle balance—during regular maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that longer-wheelbase cars tend to be more durable and reduce bumpiness. If you're considering a family car, the Lavida's wheelbase is reasonable, with an overall length of around 4670mm, not too large, making it suitable for city commuting and trips.

As a Volkswagen Lavida owner with a wheelbase of 2688mm, compared to some peers like the Toyota Corolla's 2700mm wheelbase, the Lavida is slightly shorter but still offers decent space performance. From an automotive technical perspective, a longer wheelbase enhances rear-seat comfort and reduces passenger fatigue, while a shorter one provides better agility. The Lavida's dimensions make it easier to navigate narrow turns and find parking spaces. After driving it for a while, I can feel its stability, especially with stronger grip in rainy conditions. Wheelbase is also related to vehicle weight—the Lavida's lightweight design helps reduce fuel consumption, making refueling less of a hassle. When buying a car, I recommend paying attention to the wheelbase, as it's one of the key factors affecting driving feel and practicality.

What are the penalties for using a temporary license plate that is not allowed to leave the province outside the province?

Temporary license plates that are not allowed to leave the province, if used outside the province, will result in a fine of 200 yuan and 12 penalty points. Temporary license plates are divided into the following two types: 1. Temporary plates for administrative jurisdiction areas (sky-blue background with black characters and black borders): These are urban temporary plates. Vehicles with these plates are only allowed to drive within the jurisdiction and are not permitted to leave the province. The validity period of these plates is 15 days. 2. Temporary plates for cross-administrative jurisdiction areas (brown-yellow background with black characters and black borders): These are national temporary plates. Only vehicles with these plates are allowed to drive outside the province. The validity period of these plates is 30 days. 3. When applying for temporary plates, it is essential to choose the appropriate type based on your needs. If the vehicle owner has plans to travel outside the province, they must apply for the "brown-yellow background with black characters and black borders" temporary license plate, not the "sky-blue background with black characters and black borders" one.

Why do hatchbacks have rear wipers while sedans don't?

The reasons why hatchbacks have rear wipers while sedans don't are as follows: 1. Structurally, sedans lack a suitable position for rear wipers: Hatchbacks are typically liftback models where the rear glass and tailgate are integrated. The wiper pivot is installed on the metal body beneath the rear window, so opening the tailgate doesn't affect the wiper. Sedans cannot mount the wiper pivot on the trunk lid (let alone on the glass itself). If installed on the trunk lid, when opened, the glass remains stationary, causing misalignment between the wiper and glass, making it unsuitable for installation. 2. From an aerodynamic perspective, sedan rear windows stay cleaner: For straight-back hatchbacks, the airflow separation point is at the roof's rear, creating turbulent low-pressure zones that lift debris onto the rear window. Sedans have their separation point at the trunk edge, only dirtying the rear bumper while keeping the window clean. The curved rear window design also helps blow away debris. 3. Sedans' trunk blocks wheel spray: The additional trunk compartment in sedans effectively shields most road spray generated by rear wheels, preventing dirty water from reaching the rear window. This reduced contamination need makes rear wipers less necessary for sedans.

Where is the Subaru Forester oil filter located?

Subaru Forester oil filter is located at the oil pipe connection point on the vehicle's chassis. Oil filter: The oil filter, also known as the oil cleaner, functions to remove impurities, colloids, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. Filter: The diesel generator set's filter is a specialized pre-filtration device for diesel engines, capable of removing over 90% of mechanical impurities, colloids, and asphaltenes from diesel, ensuring maximum diesel cleanliness and extending engine service life. Unclean diesel can lead to abnormal wear in the engine's fuel injection system and cylinders, resulting in reduced engine power, rapid increase in fuel consumption, and significantly shortened generator service life. Using a diesel filter can greatly improve the filtration precision and efficiency of engines equipped with felt-type diesel filters, extend the service life of imported high-quality diesel filters several times, and achieve noticeable fuel savings. How to install a diesel filter: The installation of a diesel filter is extremely simple. Just connect it in series to the fuel supply line using the pre-installed oil inlet and outlet interfaces. Pay attention to connect according to the direction indicated by the arrow; the oil inlet and outlet directions must not be reversed. During initial use or when replacing the filter element, fill the diesel filter with diesel and ensure proper venting. The vent valve is located on the end cover of the barrel.

Why Does the Charging Cable of New Energy Vehicles Get Hot?

There are generally several situations where the charging plug of a new energy vehicle gets hot during charging. Here is a detailed analysis: 1. Loose plug and oxidized contact surface: A loose plug and oxidized contact surface can lead to poor contact during charging. If there is loose contact at the connection point during charging, the voltage between the contact points can be enough to break down the air gap, forming an arc and sparking, which may ignite nearby flammable materials and cause a fire. If the charging port is not securely connected, poorly maintained, or has been in operation for a long time, an oxide film that conducts poorly may form at the connection point. Oxidation of the charging plug can easily lead to excessive contact resistance, causing the plug to overheat. 2. Issues with the charging port's electronic lock: Regarding the charging port, the model and size are standardized, and the vehicle's charging port has corresponding safety requirements for current, etc. The charging port should be equipped with an electronic locking device to prevent accidental disconnection during charging. If the electronic lock is not securely engaged, the charging port may continue to charge, leading to overheating. 3. Quality issues with the charging port: Due to different materials of the battery cells, the charging port may heat up when the current is too high. However, different materials have varying heat dissipation properties. If the material is of poor quality, it may result in poor heat dissipation, leading to overheating.

Can I Cover My Car with a Car Cover When It's Wet After Rain?

You can directly cover your car with a car cover after it gets wet from rain, but it's not good for the car. The main purpose of a car cover is to protect the car paint from scratches or corrosion caused by insect residues, tree sap, acid rain, etc., during long-term parking; it's not meant for rain protection. Moreover, car paint itself is not afraid of water, and heavy rain can even serve as a car wash. Below are the hazards of leaving your car exposed to rain: 1. Moisture and Mold: Compared to sunny days, the interior of the car is more prone to moisture and mold after rain. At the same time, rainwater can seep into the car body through seams, causing iron parts to rust and corrode easily. Therefore, after the rain stops, accumulated moisture should be removed as soon as possible to prevent mold and other issues. 2. Rainwater Getting into Headlights: When water enters the headlights, it can affect their brightness. A significant amount of water may even damage the headlights and alter the direction of light refraction, posing a safety hazard for driving.

What Are the Aftereffects of Replacing a Transmission Valve Body?

As long as the repair is carried out at an authorized 4S dealership in accordance with operational standards, there are no aftereffects from replacing the transmission valve body. Here is an introduction to the transmission valve body: 1. Generally, the valve body on a transmission is used for shifting between high and low gears. When the vehicle speed reaches a certain gear speed, the hydraulic oil pushes the valve body to automatically shift to that gear. 2. The automatic transmission valve body controls the switching of oil passages to various shift actuators (clutches and brakes) during gear shifts, thereby achieving shift control. 3. The transmission valve body is a hydraulic control unit. The sliding valves on the valve body move left and right to change the direction and pressure of the hydraulic oil, enabling the operation of clutches and brakes for different gears to achieve automatic shifting. Issues such as sticking or leakage in the valve body can lead to symptoms like shift shock, low transmission efficiency, and poor power output.
