15000-kilometer maintenance falls between 10,000 kilometers and 20,000 kilometers. The main maintenance items include changing the engine oil and the three filters (oil filter element, air filter element, and cabin air filter element). Below is an introduction to engine maintenance: 1. Engine oil and engine oil filter element (also called engine oil filter), which are the most basic and essential items for every maintenance. The key is to maintain the lubrication system properly. Engine oil operates in a harsh environment of high temperature and high pressure, so its shelf life and performance will significantly decrease over time, and it will no longer provide protection for the engine. 2. Conventional engine oil needs to be replaced approximately every 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic engine oil, approximately every 7,500 kilometers; and full-synthetic engine oil, approximately every 1,000 kilometers. 3. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 4. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

Just completed the 15,000 km service for my car, and the list of items was extensive: engine oil and oil filter had to be replaced, with the full synthetic oil costing around 400 yuan. The mechanic said the air filter could still be used after cleaning, but I noticed leaves stuck in the gaps and opted for a new one, which was about a hundred yuan. The cabin air filter was pulled out completely covered in dust and even smelled musty—definitely not something to skip. During the tire inspection, uneven wear was found on the front right tire, so a free tire rotation was done. I also asked the mechanic to check the brake pad thickness, and the left rear one was down to just 5mm, so I replaced the brake pads on the spot for safety. Finally, all the chassis bolts were tightened one by one, and half a liter of coolant was topped up. The total cost was 1,200 yuan, but the car definitely runs much smoother now.

What Causes the Insensitive Response of the Passat One-Button Start?

Passat one-button start may be unresponsive due to poor signal reception. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Signal Interference: Frequently placing the car key near electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, or televisions can interfere with the low-intensity radio waves in the key. Additionally, strong radio waves from nearby sources like TV towers, airports, or power plants can cause the one-button start to malfunction. 2. Key Fob Battery Depletion: If the key exhibits symptoms like reduced remote control distance or decreased sensitivity, it may be a sign that the key fob battery is running low. When the battery is depleted, the one-button start function will not operate properly, and the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.

Does Crossing the Line with the Front of the Car During Parallel Parking Result in Penalty Points?

Crossing the line during parallel parking does not result in penalty points. Below are some related tips for parallel parking: 1. Practical Application: The 12-character mantra for parallel parking: Accurate estimation, quick steering, and stable driving. After stabilizing the car, turn the steering wheel one and a half turns to the right, then slowly release the clutch to let the car reverse. 2. Parking Tips: Before moving into the parking space, ensure the car is positioned close to the left line of the parking space. Adjust both side mirrors—the left mirror should be lowered enough to see the left rear wheel, and the right mirror should show the car's body. Adjust the interior rearview mirror so that when you look up, you can see the middle of the rear windshield.

Will the vehicle be transferred after repaying the loan on Maodou New Car?

If you want to transfer the ownership of a vehicle purchased on Maodou New Car Network with a 48-month installment plan, you need to wait until the lease period reaches 12 months and all payments are fully settled. Additionally, all traffic violations related to the purchased vehicle must be resolved before the transfer can proceed. When processing the transfer, you will need to bring the purchase contract, the owner's ID card, driver's license, and other required documents, and follow the customer service instructions. More details are as follows: 1. Introduction: Maodou New Car is a platform that adopts a "lease-to-own" car purchase model. It is quite reputable and widely recognized. This "lease-to-own" model can promote the development of the automotive industry and alleviate consumers' financial pressure when buying a car. It allows consumers to enjoy the vehicle by paying a small initial amount, enabling more people to own a car. 2. Note: The "lease-to-own" model requires leasing the car first, and the ownership can only be transferred after one year of leasing. This means that during the lease period, the vehicle's ownership does not belong to the buyer but to Maodou New Car Network Co., Ltd. Additionally, this "lease-to-own" model involves certain interest charges, so the total cost of the vehicle is often higher than purchasing the same model outright at a 4S store.
