Two-piece forging refers to a two-piece wheel hub. Forged wheel hubs are categorized into one-piece, two-piece, and three-piece types, distinguished by their manufacturing processes. A one-piece hub is a single integrated unit, while a two-piece hub consists of two parts: the rim and the spokes, which are joined and secured using high-strength bolts. A three-piece forged hub comprises three parts, with the rim made up of two sections: a front piece and a rear piece. When modifying wheel rims, it is recommended that car enthusiasts choose rims with the same specifications and dimensions as the original factory rims. If only the style is changed without altering the specifications and dimensions, it will not affect the annual inspection. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner contour to the axle via spokes, serving as the metal component that supports the tire and mounts onto the axle.

When working on wheel modifications in the workshop, I explain that two-piece forged wheels consist of two parts: the rim lip and the center disc. Each component is forged by heating metal and pressing it into shape, enhancing density and strength. This design makes the wheels lighter, resulting in smoother vehicle acceleration and more responsive handling. It also allows for customization of size and color to meet personalized needs. However, the cost is higher, and during maintenance, it's crucial to check the bolt connections for tightness to prevent loosening on rough roads, which could compromise safety. I've seen many high-performance car owners prefer two-piece forged wheels for their balance of aesthetics and practicality, but beginners should seek professional advice before using them.

Where is the gear hub located?

Gear hub is the cylindrical metal component inside the tire that supports the tire, with its center mounted on the axle. Below is an introduction to the working principle and advantages of gear hubs: Working Principle: In low gear, the sprocket drives the ring gear, and the planetary carrier drives the hub, achieving gear reduction. In medium gear, the sprocket directly drives the hub. In high gear, the sprocket drives the planetary carrier, and the ring gear drives the hub, resulting in gear increase. Advantages of Gear Hubs: The hub gears are sealed inside the hub, protecting them from water, gravel, and impacts. Therefore, hub gears generally require less maintenance and are more reliable over time compared to comparable external derailleur gear systems, which may need more adjustments and part replacements.

What causes the reversing camera on the Tiguan L to fail to display?

The reasons why the reversing camera on the Tiguan L fails to display are as follows: Damaged or obstructed camera: If the camera is damaged, the image cannot be uploaded to the computer, naturally resulting in no display. Solution: It needs to be repaired at a service center, and a new camera can be replaced if necessary. If there is foreign matter blocking it, simply remove the obstruction. Damaged display screen: The display screen remains black and fails to start or shows distorted images. Solution: It should be inspected and repaired at a service center promptly. Poor wire contact: Frequent jolts in the vehicle's environment may cause internal wires to loosen or detach. When the wire contact is poor, the image from the camera cannot be transmitted to the main unit, and the reversing camera will not display. Solution: The center console panel needs to be removed for inspection.

Is the oil temperature of 122°C normal for the Tiguan?

Yes, it is normal for the oil temperature to be around 120°C. Below is some relevant information: Powertrain: A leader in the trend of high-efficiency and low-consumption engines. Thanks to the high-pressure direct injection technology, the 2.0TSI engine delivers a maximum power of 147kW and a peak torque of 280Nm. More importantly, this engine reaches its peak torque at just 1700rpm, combining the characteristics of small displacement with high power and low-speed high torque. Configuration: The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, and ASR traction control. Features such as the less common EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, auto-hold function, and TPR tire pressure monitoring system are all standard on the Tiguan, demonstrating Volkswagen's strong emphasis on safety. Front dual airbags and front side airbags ensure driving safety, while the standard child safety locks highlight the importance placed on children's safety.

What does the Sport button on the Leiling mean?

It refers to the Leiling's sport mode. When pressed, it activates the sport mode, which enhances power output by increasing fuel injection and delaying gear shifts. Delayed upshifts allow the vehicle to achieve greater acceleration, resulting in faster speed gains. In S-gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for longer periods to deliver instant high torque and boost vehicle power. Below are relevant details: Exterior: In terms of dimensions, the new model measures 4640/1780/1455mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The length and width are slightly increased compared to the current model, while the height is reduced, and the wheelbase remains unchanged. Notes: During car maintenance, waxing is often applied to prevent rust. However, frequent waxing can also have negative effects, such as damaging the car's paint and causing the color to dull over time.

What is the difference between car washing at a 4S shop and outside?

The differences between car washing at a 4S shop and outside are as follows: 1. Price: The cost at a 4S shop is relatively higher, and many parts are original factory components, which are also much more expensive than those on the market. 2. Technology and after-sales service: 4S shops mainly focus on maintenance, while repair shops can perform comprehensive repairs on the entire vehicle. 4S shops serve a single brand, whereas repair shops cater to several or all brands, offering a wider range of services and a larger quantity. In first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, there are typically over 30 repair shops, and the prices of some parts and engine oil may not even be lower than those at 4S shops. Therefore, if you choose to go to a repair shop, you might even encounter counterfeit products. Maintenance at a 4S shop enjoys the manufacturer's warranty, usually for 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. If any issues arise with the car during this period, the manufacturer will provide free repairs and replacements.
