Ford VIN can be found in the following locations: 1. On the manufacturer's label at the lower part of the door frame (B-pillar); 2. At the junction of the dashboard and windshield in front of the driver's seat; 3. Under the passenger side floor mat. Taking the 2020 Ford Mondeo as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4873mm, width 1852mm, height 1470mm, wheelbase 2850mm, and fuel tank capacity 62.5l. The 2020 Ford Mondeo is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 134kW and a maximum torque of 243Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.

As a long-time Ford owner, I find locating the VIN quite straightforward. It's usually on the plastic edge below the driver's side of the windshield – just tilt your head slightly to spot it. You'll also commonly find it in the engine bay; lift the hood and look for a small metal plate on the frame, with its position varying little across models. Additionally, check the label on the driver's side door jamb. Some older Ford models even hide the VIN in a small window at the lower left of the dashboard. Knowing your VIN's location is crucial: it helps verify authenticity when purchasing and allows mechanics to quickly address issues during repairs. I personally keep mine saved in my phone or the car's document folder – ready for accidents or theft. Never underestimate this little number; it holds all your vehicle's key info!

How to Identify Stock Vehicles When Buying a Car?

Methods to identify stock vehicles when buying a car are: 1. Check the vehicle nameplate on the B-pillar; 2. There is also a vehicle nameplate in the engine compartment, which indicates the production date of the car. The vehicle nameplate is a sign that displays the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the manufacturer, model, engine power, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, factory number, production date, and manufacturer name. Precautions when inspecting a new car include: checking the factory nameplate to ensure the vehicle's displacement and production date, and then looking for signs of tampering or scratches on the nameplate. If it has been tampered with, extra caution is needed. A stock vehicle refers to a car that has not been sold for more than six months.

What is the difference between National 5 and National 6 emission standards?

The differences between National 5 and National 6 emission standards are: 1. Different emission levels: The carbon monoxide emission limit for National 5 is 1000mg per kilometer; for National 6 it is 700mg per kilometer. 2. Different restrictions: The sulfur content limit for National 5 is 10ppm, and the manganese content limit is 2mg per liter; for National 6, the sulfur content limit is 5ppm, and the manganese content limit is 1mg per liter. 3. Different forms: During the National 5 phase, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards; National 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type used.

How to Determine if a Car Compressor is Good or Bad?

To determine if a car compressor is good or bad, follow these steps: 1. Start the engine and maintain the speed between 1250 to 1500 RPM; 2. Connect the manifold pressure gauge to the air conditioning refrigeration system, turn on the AC switch, and set the fan to the maximum position; 3. Touch the compressor's intake and exhaust ports. A good compressor will have a cold intake and a hot exhaust with a significant temperature difference between them. If not, it is likely damaged. The working principle of a car compressor: It draws refrigerant from the low-pressure area, compresses it, and sends it to the high-pressure area for cooling and condensation. The heat is dissipated into the air through the radiator, and the refrigerant changes from a gaseous to a liquid state, increasing its pressure.

What is the Difference Between Regular Tires and Snow Tires?

The differences between regular tires and snow tires are: 1. Different appearance: Regular tires have symmetrical tread patterns; snow tires have asymmetric directional tread patterns. 2. Different materials: Regular tires are made of natural rubber; snow tires are made of a silica-mixed rubber. The functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to vehicle components; 4. To adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

What is the tire pressure for the X-Trail?

The tire pressure for the X-Trail is 2.5bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; 2. It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. It accelerates the localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; 4. Increased body vibration can indirectly affect the lifespan of other components. Taking the 2021 X-Trail as an example, it is a compact SUV with the following dimensions: length 4675mm, width 1820mm, height 1722mm, wheelbase 2706mm, minimum ground clearance 208mm, and a body weight of 1489kg.
