First, take out the tire wrench from the trunk. Generally, the fuel tank is located under the rear seat. Crawl under the car, and the fuel pump is right below the fuel tank. Locate the position of the fuel pump. At the fuel pump and the fuel tank's triangular bracket, then pick up the wrench and tap it a couple of times. Tapping it two or three times with the wrench should allow the car to start normally. If the above methods don't work, you can have it repaired at the service area's auto repair shop.

What to Bring for the Subject 2 Driving Test?

For the Subject 2 driving test, you need to bring your ID card, collect a proof of the previously completed Subject 1 test and the Subject 2 test admission information at the registration office. Below is the relevant introduction to Subject 2: 1. Small vehicle test content: The test items include five mandatory tests—reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curve) (some regions also include a sixth item, high-speed toll card collection). 2. Large vehicle test content: The test items include pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, passing a single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing a width-restricted gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What is the engine model of the Volkswagen Tiguan?

The 1.4L turbocharged engine model of the Volkswagen Tiguan is EA211; the 2.0L turbocharged engine model is EA888. The maximum horsepower is 186PS, maximum power is 137kW, and maximum torque is 320Nm. The engines of domestically produced Tiguan are made in China, while those of imported Tiguan are from Germany. For daily maintenance of the Volkswagen Tiguan's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Why Are Sports Cars So Loud?

Sports cars produce louder sounds at higher RPMs. Sports cars are typically equipped with engines that prioritize power output at high RPMs, meaning engines with greater maximum power and torque for the same displacement to enhance performance, resulting in louder sounds at higher RPMs. Here's an extended explanation: Reasons for High RPMs in Sports Cars: Supercars can generally reach peak RPMs more than twice those of regular passenger cars. To maximize engine power, sports car manufacturers intentionally choose mufflers with weaker noise reduction effects. Effective mufflers would inevitably increase exhaust resistance, reducing engine power.

How Can Beginners Determine the Position of Their Wheels?

Beginners can determine the position of their wheels through the following methods: 1. Use the wipers to determine the position of the wheels; 2. Determine the position of the wheels through the rearview mirrors; 3. Determine the position of the wheels through the center of the windshield. The importance of determining the position of the wheels: During driving nowadays, there may sometimes be situations where the wheels cross the line. With cameras everywhere, if a driver is caught, they may face fines and penalty points. Additionally, accurately mastering the position of the wheels can also help in clearly maintaining the distance from neighboring cars when parking.

Should You Release the Clutch Immediately After Shifting Gears?

You should release the clutch immediately after shifting gears. Here is some relevant information about the car clutch: 1. Definition: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Classification: Clutches are divided into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches. 3. Principle: When starting the vehicle, the driver presses the clutch pedal, which pulls the pressure plate backward, separating it from the friction disc. At this point, the pressure plate and the flywheel are not in contact, so there is no relative friction.

Do I Need to Dilute Windshield Washer Fluid with Water?

Adding windshield washer fluid generally does not require dilution with water. The specifics depend on the situation: 1. Solid windshield washer tablets: These need to be dissolved in water before use. 2. Liquid windshield washer fluid: For high-concentration types, due to their strong corrosive properties, they must be diluted with water according to the specified ratio before filling. Non-concentrated liquid windshield washer fluids can be used directly. Solid tablets and concentrated liquid washer fluids are cost-effective, while non-concentrated liquid washer fluids are more convenient and quicker to use. Note that using plain water as a substitute for windshield washer fluid can damage the wipers and windshield.
