There are several reasons for the failure of Volkswagen's auto start-stop system: 1. The start-stop function cannot be used. When the brake is pressed to activate the start-stop system, the gear is in D position without moving. When the brake is released to prepare for moving, the dashboard prompts to use the key to ignite, but the engine cannot start and shuts down, requiring re-shifting to P position and restarting the ignition. 2. Normally starting the car, the first ignition can hear the starter sound, but the engine does not start. The second ignition can start the car, but after starting, it shows an auto start-stop system failure, and the function is unavailable. 3. After testing at a 4S shop, it was found that the starter is faulty and cannot be repaired, only replaced.

What are the reasons for the Citroen C4L air conditioning compressor not working?

The reasons for the Citroen C4L air conditioning compressor not working are: excessive refrigerant, poor heat dissipation, blockage in the pipeline system, dust and scale accumulation on the evaporator or filter. If there is excessive refrigerant, the refrigerant amount should be reduced. For poor heat dissipation, check if there is dust on the condenser pipe and clean the condenser. If dust and scale accumulate on the evaporator or filter, causing reduced airflow and imbalance in system pressure and temperature, the evaporator or filter can be cleaned. Taking the 2021 Citroen as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of: length 4980mm, width 1858mm, height 1475mm, wheelbase 2900mm, and fuel tank capacity of 70L. The 2021 Citroen features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 211PS, maximum power of 155kW, maximum torque of 300Nm, paired with an automatic manual transmission.

What to Do When an Electric Vehicle Runs Out of Power?

You can call the insurance company's emergency rescue hotline, but under normal circumstances, this is considered a human-caused issue rather than a vehicle malfunction, and the owner will need to pay for the towing service. To promote electric vehicles, some brands also offer free towing and rescue services when the vehicle's power battery runs out. There are specialized companies that provide on-site vehicle charging services, functioning like a large mobile power bank.

What does it mean when both the ABS light and the anti-skid light are on in a Bora?

When both the ABS light and the anti-skid light are illuminated in a Bora, it may indicate a faulty sensor. The ABS light staying on signifies an alert from the anti-lock braking system. Normally, this light turns on when the ignition is switched on or when the engine is started, as the system enters an automatic detection process. Once the detection is complete, the light should turn off. If the light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, fails to turn off after lighting up, or lights up while driving, it indicates a system malfunction. The ABS system controls the regulator by sending signals through sensors installed on the wheels, reducing the hydraulic pressure of the wheel brakes to decrease the braking torque. This enhances the safety factor of the vehicle during emergency braking, achieving a braking efficiency of over 90% and reducing brake wear. If the ABS system of the vehicle malfunctions, it is essential to thoroughly inspect the vehicle's wiring and connectors for any signs of poor contact or damage. Additionally, the installation gap between the wheel sensors and the toothed rings should be checked promptly to ensure it is within normal parameters.

What to Do When the Front Tire of a Dongfeng Honda CRV Blows Out?

In case of a sudden tire blowout, avoid slamming the brakes or jerking the steering wheel. If necessary, you can use intermittent braking to reduce speed. Remove the damaged tire and replace it with the spare tire. You can call the 4S shop or your insurance company, or dial 114 to request road assistance or a tow truck for rescue. Place a triangular warning sign 50-100 meters behind the vehicle to alert oncoming traffic of the situation ahead and seek help if possible.
