There are five possible scenarios when the door lights fail to illuminate upon opening: 1. Scenario One: Switch malfunction. 2. Scenario Two: Blown fuse. 3. Scenario Three: Short circuit in wiring. 4. Scenario Four: Some vehicles require activating the door light function near the sunroof/reading light before the door lights will illuminate upon opening. 5. Scenario Five: Poor contact between door and door switch. Here's an overview of BMW's advantages and disadvantages: 1. Advantages: Front-engine rear-wheel drive enables drifting (though wears tires faster), excellent performance with superb handling, advanced technology - many BMW innovations are adopted by other manufacturers years later. 2. Disadvantages: High price point, inconvenient maintenance due to limited 4S dealership network, and the brand's conspicuous nature attracts attention.

What is the difference between gasoline types?

98-octane, 95-octane, and 92-octane gasoline differ in the following aspects: Different quality levels: 98-octane gasoline has a higher octane rating, while 95 and 92-octane gasoline have lower octane ratings. Higher octane fuel provides better anti-knock performance, resulting in smoother engine operation. Different fuel consumption: 98-octane gasoline has lower fuel consumption, while 95 and 92-octane gasoline have higher fuel consumption. The higher the gasoline grade (i.e., the higher the octane content), the less likely it is to cause knocking, and the better the engine's anti-knock performance during combustion. Car owners should choose gasoline based on their engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with higher compression ratios should use higher-grade gasoline to ensure strong power output and lower costs while preventing engine knocking.

Is the Volkswagen Lavida Plus equipped with a timing belt or a timing chain?

Volkswagen Lavida models produced before May 2013 are equipped with timing chains, while those produced after May 2013 come with timing belts. Replacement cycle for timing chains: The chain is made of micro-alloy material and is lubricated by engine oil inside the engine. Theoretically, its service life can last until the vehicle is scrapped. However, the chain tensioner has a wear life of only 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers and needs to be replaced when the time comes. The purchase price of the tensioner is basically only one-tenth of that of a timing belt. Replacement cycle for timing belts: Timing belts generally need to be replaced after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Once the timing belt breaks, the camshaft will definitely not operate according to the timing.

What are the differences between full-size and non-full-size spare tires?

The differences between full-size and non-full-size spare tires are: 1. Different sizes: The full-size spare tire has the same specifications as the four original tires of the car; the non-full-size spare tire is narrower or has a smaller rim size. 2. Different driving speeds: The full-size spare tire has no speed limit as long as it complies with traffic regulations; the non-full-size spare tire cannot exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 3. Different weights: The full-size spare tire weighs the same as the four original tires of the car; the non-full-size spare tire is lighter than the four original tires. The process of replacing a spare tire: 1. Loosen the screws; 2. Lift the vehicle with a jack; 3. Remove the screws that secure the wheel, turning counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten; 4. Remove the tire; 5. Replace it with the spare tire.

What is the tire pressure matching channel number for the Volkswagen Tiguan?

The tire pressure channel number for Volkswagen is 5053-65-16-10896. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Low tire pressure: Tire pressure is critical to the life of a tire. Both excessively high and low pressure will shorten the tire's lifespan. Low pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the sidewalls and causing flexing movements, which generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. High tire pressure: Excessively high pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. If impacted, it may cause internal cracks or blowouts. High pressure also accelerates wear on the tread and reduces puncture resistance.
