Here are the solutions for dealing with excessively high car temperature: 1. Check if there is excessive dust between the condenser and the radiator. Use high-pressure air to thoroughly clean them to ensure good heat dissipation performance of the radiator and condenser. 2. When the car is hot, check the temperature difference between the upper and lower radiator hoses. If the difference is too large, inspect the thermostat’s opening and whether the water pump has a speed loss issue. 3. After the car is hot, check the coolant reservoir’s upper return hose for proper water flow. Poor or blocked return flow can cause high water temperature, a common issue in Jetta models. 4. High pressure in the air conditioning system’s high-pressure end; excessive refrigerant or lubricant in the AC system, or malfunction of the self-adjusting function in the AC compressor, leading to excessively high pressure.

Which Xenon Headlights Are Brighter?

They are generally similar, as xenon headlights are inherently brighter than standard halogen bulbs. There are two types available: 35W and 55W, with 35W being more commonly used. The above refers to wattage, but there's also color temperature to consider. Higher color temperature doesn't necessarily mean brighter light; it just changes the color. Common color temperatures include 2400K, 4300K, and 600K, which correspond to golden yellow, warm white, and ultra-white light, respectively. The higher the color temperature, the worse the light penetration, meaning in rainy or foggy conditions, lower color temperature lights provide better visibility, while higher color temperatures can result in a blinding white haze. Below are some recommendations for xenon headlight modifications: 1. A cost-effective option is to simply replace the bulbs without modifying the entire headlight assembly. For low and high beams, you can choose between 4300K or 6000K, with 4300K recommended for a milder effect—though it can still be glaring when facing oncoming traffic. Fog lights should always use 2400K golden yellow bulbs, as they make raindrops appear like golden particles, enhancing visibility. However, one drawback is that without a lens, the low and high beams may scatter more. 2. Another modification involves improving focus capability to achieve greater brightness, but this comes with higher modification costs.

What is the driving sequence for going straight, turning left, and turning right?

The driving sequence for going straight, turning left, and turning right is as follows: left-turning vehicles yield to oncoming vehicles going straight, and right-turning vehicles yield to oncoming vehicles turning left or going straight. When two vehicles are both going straight, the vehicle coming from the right side of the road has the right of way, and the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. When passing through an intersection, drivers must strictly adhere to traffic signals and road markings. If a vehicle goes straight through an intersection from a left-turn lane, it will be penalized for not following the designated lane. If a vehicle does not drive in the correct lane on highways or urban expressways, the driver will receive 3 demerit points and a fine. Here is more information about driving: Designated lanes: At intersections with designated lanes, enter the lane corresponding to your intended direction of travel. Entering a roundabout: When preparing to enter a roundabout, yield to vehicles already inside the roundabout. When turning left: Turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Use turn signals when turning, and switch to low beams when driving at night.

Does Adding a License Affect a Long-Term Driver's License?

Adding a license can affect a long-term driver's license. If you hold a C1 driver's license and apply to add a motorcycle license, it will not affect the seniority of the C1 license or the renewal of a long-term driver's license. However, if you apply to add a B-class license or above to your C1 license, it will directly impact the seniority of your driver's license. Below are the requirements for adding different types of driver's licenses: Conditions for adding an A1 driver's license: You must have held an A2 license for at least 1 year, or a B1/A3 license for at least 2 years, or a B2 license for at least 3 years, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the most recent scoring cycle, to directly add an A1 driver's license. Conditions for adding an A2 driver's license: You must have held an A1 license for at least 1 year, or a B1/B2 license for at least 2 years, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the most recent scoring cycle, to directly add an A2 driver's license. Conditions for adding an A3 driver's license: You can directly apply for the A3 license without needing to add it to an existing license. Alternatively, you can add an A3 license if you have held any driver's license for at least 1 year with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points.

What causes severe shaking when the vehicle brakes?

During vehicle use, you may feel the car shaking when applying the brakes, while driving normally there are no issues. This situation is generally caused by problems with the brake discs. This is because, strictly speaking, the brake discs have become deformed. Brake discs also require dynamic balancing, but the requirements for brake disc balancing are even stricter than those for tires. Reasons why brake discs cannot maintain dynamic balance: 1. Uneven wear on the brake discs, meaning severe wear on one side. This is due to issues with the vehicle itself, primarily caused by poor retraction of the brake caliper. Car braking is achieved by two friction pads pressing against the brake disc through the caliper to create friction and braking effect. Since the brake is only connected to the inner friction pad, incomplete retraction of the caliper after braking will lead to increased wear on one side. 2. Use of low-quality brake pads. Inferior brake pads contain a large amount of metal substances. When these metal substances come into contact with the brake disc, because they are harder, the brake pads wear more slowly (they are meant to wear) but will reduce the lifespan of the brake disc. Solutions: 1. Replace the brake discs. This can be decided based on the condition of the brake discs. If the brake discs are already heavily worn, it is recommended to replace them altogether. 2. Machine tool processing. After removing the brake discs, give them to a professional machinist for deep processing to restore their dynamic balance.

What are the drawing method and dimensions of an S-curve?

S-curves consist of two turns, first left then right. Each turn is composed of two concentric circles, with the curve length being 3/8 of the arc length. The large circle has a radius of 7.5 meters, and the small circle has a radius of 4 meters. The large and small circles of the two curves are tangent to each other, meaning the two curves share the same axis. To draw a standard S-curve, at least a 12m*8m open space is required. Tips for the S-curve in Subject 2 of the driving test: Use the rearview mirror as a reference. During driving, use the relative distance between the rearview mirror and the S-curve boundary line as a guide. It's acceptable as long as the distance is roughly consistent. Whether to drive close to the line or maintain a certain distance can be adjusted based on personal circumstances. Using the rearview mirror as a reference, the optimal entry point into the curve is when the body of the car is positioned one-third from the right side. This provides greater room for error when changing direction at the junction of the two curves in the S-curve. Method for observing the car hood during the S-curve in Subject 2: When observing the car hood, simply use the outermost edge of the hood visible in your line of sight as a reference. There's no need to stretch your head to look at a specific point. Depending on individual vision, you can choose a position one-third from the left or right of the hood, the middle, or any other suitable position. During driving, the S-curve should remain near the chosen reference point. If the reference point is not the middle of the hood, you will need to change the reference point as the curve changes—look at the right side of the hood for left turns and the left side for right turns. If using the middle position, this adjustment is unnecessary.
