FAW-Volkswagen commonly uses G11, G12, and G13 antifreeze (coolant). Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion. How to Choose Antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. Available in the market are antifreeze with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it's advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Types of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water. How to Determine if Antifreeze is Low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it may indicate low antifreeze levels, though it could also be due to excessively high engine temperature. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the liquid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving; add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level scale on the antifreeze bottle. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If it's below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of antifreeze.

Can the rear wheels lock up and cause skidding or fishtailing during braking?

Braking with the rear wheels locked up can indeed cause skidding or fishtailing. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Skidding: Skidding refers to the phenomenon where a vehicle experiences a lateral swinging motion due to sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or excessive torque during startup, commonly known as fishtailing. There are many factors that can cause a vehicle to skid. Driving on snow, rain, or ice and suddenly releasing the throttle or accelerating abruptly; applying emergency braking where the rear wheels lock up before the front wheels; all these scenarios can easily lead to vehicle skidding and result in accidents. 2. Lateral Disturbance Force: If the rear wheels lock up, while the rear wheels are subjected to a lateral disturbance force, the front wheels will have a self-aligning torque effect. This creates two horizontal forces acting in opposite directions at the front and rear of the vehicle, forming a torque that can quickly cause the vehicle to fishtail or skid.

What is the reason for the automatic transmission not shifting from 5th to 6th gear?

Automatic transmission not shifting from 5th to 6th gear is caused by internal dirt and impurities. The specific reasons and solutions are as follows: Specific reasons: In many cases, it is not due to internal valve body damage, but rather the presence of stubborn dirt and impurities inside, especially when these contaminants accumulate in the valve body, forming blockages. This prevents effective regulation of oil pressure, leading to issues such as jerking, impact, and slippage, making it difficult for the transmission to shift gears. Solutions: To completely resolve the transmission shifting issue and prevent its recurrence, it is necessary to remove stubborn dirt and impurities from the transmission and effectively control the transmission's operating temperature.

How Many Pedals Does an Automatic Transmission Have?

An automatic transmission car has two pedals under the foot: one is the brake pedal, and the other is the accelerator (gas) pedal. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. The function of the brake pedal: to force a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver; to keep a parked car stable under various road conditions (including on slopes); to maintain a stable speed for a car driving downhill. 2. The function of the car accelerator pedal: The main function of the car accelerator is to speed up the car. Without pressing the accelerator, the car's speed would remain at its original, very slow pace. Therefore, the primary role of the car accelerator is to accelerate the car. The lower the car accelerator is pressed, the greater the fuel intake of the engine, and the faster the car's speed.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission to Stall at Idle?

An automatic transmission stalling at idle can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Electrical circuit failure: This may occur due to low-voltage power interruption while driving, leading to stalling. In this case, focus on checking the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box. A short circuit in the low-voltage wiring can cause intermittent stalling. Inspect the vehicle's low-voltage wiring. 2. Component failure: Common culprits include the ignition coil, capacitor, and electronic ignition module. The vehicle may start initially but stall after a while, then restart and stall again. 3. Fuel system failure: Possible causes include a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank.

How long does it usually take to get a driver's license for automatic transmission?

Obtaining a driver's license for automatic transmission generally takes a similar amount of time. The fastest can get it in about 2-3 months, while the slowest may take around a year. Here are the relevant details: 1. C2 License: The exam subjects and process are the same as for a C1 license, including the theoretical test (Subject 1), the field test (Subject 2), the road test (Subject 3), and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test (Subject 3). The exam includes hill starts, parallel parking, reversing into a garage, curve driving, and stopping and starting at designated points. The only difference is that the test vehicle is an automatic transmission car, so it cannot be assumed that a C2 license is obtained faster. 2. Traffic Regulations: After passing the traffic regulations test, you can take the parking test in 20 days and the road test in 40 days, meaning the fastest possible time is 40 days.

What happens if you steer too early when reversing into the left parking space?

Steering too early will cause the car to press against the left edge line of the parking space, and if done too early, the car won't be able to enter the garage. Here are the relevant details: 1. Failure: Not following the prescribed route or sequence results in failure; the car body crossing the line results in failure; failing to reverse into the garage results in failure; stopping midway results in failure. 2. Tips: Start reversing by turning the steering wheel one and a half turns to the right, observe the upper part of the wheel in the right rearview mirror, which should be about 40 centimeters away from the right line of the garage to ensure the right side doesn't press against the line when reversing into the garage. Observe the left rearview mirror, and when the left line of the garage becomes visible, immediately turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left and continue reversing. Observe both left and right rearview mirrors, and when the solid lines of the garage appear on both sides with roughly equal distance, immediately turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left and continue reversing.
