When purchasing a used BMW, pay attention to performance, structure, procedures, and appearance issues. The main issues are as follows: Performance: Listen for any abnormal sounds when starting the car, especially the engine noise. Structure: Check for any deformations. After an accident, its frame and chassis are difficult to repair. Procedures: Registration, driver's license, purchase tax, etc. Always take a test drive, whether buying a new or used car. Appearance: Inspect all corners and accessories of the car for repainting, and check for wear on tires, headlights, and bumpers.

What is the standard valve clearance for 465?

465 valve intake 0.2, exhaust 0.30. Here is the relevant information: 1. Valve clearance: Valve clearance, when the engine is working, the valve will expand due to the increase in temperature. 2. The harm of too small valve clearance: If there is no gap or the gap is too small between the valve and its transmission parts in the cold state, then in the hot state, the thermal expansion of the valve and its transmission parts will inevitably cause the valve to close improperly, resulting in air leakage during the compression and power strokes of the engine, thereby reducing power, and in severe cases, it may even be difficult to start. 3. Solution: In order to eliminate this phenomenon, a certain gap is usually left between the valve and its transmission mechanism when the engine is assembled in the cold state to compensate for the expansion of the valve after heating. This gap is called the valve clearance.

What is the reason why the Audi A6L media source cannot be played?

The main control computer of the audio system may have crashed while reading the disc, and restarting the system might resolve the issue. Below is some relevant information about the Audi A6L: 1. Introduction: The Audi A6L is the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100, codenamed C3, introduced in 1988. The Audi A6L is a vehicle series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the German new A6, serving as the successor to the A6. In June 2012, the new-generation Audi A6L was launched, equipped with the 35-TFSI powertrain, and its exterior design somewhat resembles the new version of the A4L. 2. Design: The new Audi A6L adopts a five-link front suspension design, balancing the necessary rigid connection for sportiness and comfort with low static stiffness. Among these features, the hydraulic form of the frame vibration damping support significantly improves driving comfort and effectively reduces the impact and jolt when passing over speed bumps and uneven road surfaces, thereby minimizing the impact on the lumbar spine.

Should the Passat Lingyu use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official car manual recommendation, the Passat Lingyu should use 92 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the car manual, the Passat Lingyu can also check the fuel tank cap, which will also indicate the appropriate gasoline grade. Usually, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Cars with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should choose 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should choose 95 octane gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use low-grade gasoline because, in addition to the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Passat Lingyu occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct gasoline grade after use. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade may have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use low-grade gasoline, using high-grade gasoline by mistake will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will change the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, and the actual feedback experience is reduced power. For vehicles recommended to use high-grade gasoline, using low-grade gasoline may cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the gasoline's ignition point decreases and may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance will cause the engine to run very unstably. If it is only slight knocking, the noise will increase, but the damage to the engine is not obvious. If there is obvious knocking, it indicates that the engine's working condition is already very severe. The vibration not only affects driving stability but also causes abnormal wear on the piston and cylinder, and in severe cases, may even lead to cylinder scoring.

What's the matter with the engine water temperature being too high?

The reasons for high engine water temperature may include the cooling fan not rotating, insufficient cooling medium, radiator blockage, water pump failure, or cylinder erosion. Here is some relevant information: 1. Introduction: The car engine is the device that provides power for the car, serving as the heart of the car, determining its power, economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines. 2. Classification: Depending on the power source, car engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid types, among others.
