It is normal to have scratches on brake discs. Having some shallow scratches in lines is quite common, and generally, there is no issue as long as the scratch depth does not exceed 0.6 millimeters. The causes of deep scratches include: 1. Only the front or only the rear brake discs have grooves. This situation is usually caused by driving habits or uneven distribution of braking force between the front and rear. 2. Only one brake disc has grooves while the others are normal. This is generally due to material issues or external forces, with possible factors as follows: a. Foreign objects getting stuck between this brake disc and the brake pad, especially when braking hard; b. Uneven force from the brake caliper; c. Manufacturing defects in the brake pad, leading to uneven composite materials, which make the brake pad too hard or contain large metal particles.

Can I Buy a Car in Beijing and Drive It Home for License Plate Registration?

You can buy a car in Beijing and drive it home for license plate registration, but there are a few points to note: 1. Some 4S stores only sell locally, so you must find out in advance whether cross-region car purchase is supported. Only if it is allowed can you proceed with the purchase; 2. Since you will be registering the license plate in your home region, you must first obtain a temporary inter-provincial license plate from the Beijing Vehicle Management Office. Otherwise, driving without a license plate will result in penalties; 3. Regarding insurance, if you purchase insurance in the registration location, you need to send materials such as the vehicle identification number, engine number, and car photos to the insurance company. Only after the insurance takes effect can you start your journey back home for license plate registration. It is recommended to purchase a new car from a reputable 4S store.

Can Volkswagen use 0w20 engine oil?

Volkswagen can use 0W20 engine oil. 0W20 is more suitable for Japanese and Korean cars, as these two series of vehicles have relatively precise internal engine structures that require thinner oil to form a certain oil film. Meaning of engine oil: It refers to the lubricating oil specifically used in internal combustion engines. In addition to lubrication, it also has functions such as rust prevention and cooling. Common models include 0W20, 5W30, 0W40, etc. The characteristics of 0W20 engine oil are good high and low temperature fluidity. Characteristics of 0W20 engine oil: W stands for Winter. The smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, representing the lower the ambient temperature available for use, and the better the protection ability for the engine during cold starts.

Why does the electric car throttle jerk intermittently?

This is caused by a damaged controller, and the controller should be replaced when this occurs. Below is additional information: 1. The controller is an important component of an electric vehicle, typically installed under the rear seat. It controls the entire vehicle's electrical system. Without the controller, the electric vehicle cannot operate normally. 2. Electric vehicles are a common mode of transportation with a relatively simple structure. The main components of an electric vehicle include the frame, motor, battery, and controller. 3. The motor is the source of power for the electric vehicle, responsible for driving it forward. 4. The battery is a component used to store electrical energy and also supplies power to all electronic devices on the vehicle. The battery is a wear-and-tear part that requires regular replacement, as its performance degrades with increasing charge and discharge cycles.

Is Manual Transmission More Fuel-Efficient Than Automatic Transmission?

Manual transmission is more fuel-efficient than automatic transmission for the following reasons: Gear Shifting Differences: Automatic transmission determines the shifting point based on sensor-detected torque changes (load and throttle opening), simulating preset shift points. In contrast, manual transmission allows the driver to control the shifting point based on their intention (driving skill)—making random and anticipatory judgments. Different Transmission Systems: Unlike manual transmission, automatic transmission features a hydraulic system that supplies power fluid to the hydraulic transmission. This power fluid system typically consumes about 5 kilowatts of power transmission. Additionally, energy is lost during driving due to the torque converter. However, this system requires the vehicle to remain in a gear while moving to keep the oil pump running continuously. Otherwise, an automatic transmission in neutral (N) may suffer oil pressure deficiency and overheating.

What does transmission repair mean?

This indicates a transmission malfunction, alerting the driver that there is an issue with the vehicle's transmission. Using an automotive diagnostic computer to read the system will provide detailed fault code descriptions. Based on the fault codes and symptoms, the exact problem can be accurately identified. Below is more relevant information: Transmission: A transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts, also known as a gearbox. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also including a power take-off mechanism. Most transmission mechanisms use ordinary gear systems, while some employ planetary gear systems. Ordinary gear transmission mechanisms typically utilize sliding gears and synchronizers, among other components.
