The cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. To replace it, you need to remove the glove compartment, and you will see the cabin air filter inside, usually positioned at the lower left side. Function of the cabin air filter: It filters and absorbs various particles, dust, and harmful substances from the outside air, providing a better driving environment for passengers inside the vehicle. Disadvantages of not having a cabin air filter: It can lead to contamination of the car's air conditioning system, reduced performance of the cooling system, and cause allergic reactions, lung damage, and irritability due to ozone exposure when passengers inhale dust and harmful gases. Additionally, unpleasant odors can affect driving safety.

How to restart after replacing car key battery?

After replacing the battery, re-pairing is required. The basic components of a remote key consist of the following 2 points: 1. Transmitter: Composed of a transmission switch, transmission antenna, integrated circuit, etc., containing an identification code storage circuit and an amplitude modulation circuit, with a button-type lithium battery installed on the opposite side of the circuit. The transmission frequency uses radio waves, and the transmission switch button sends a signal once per press; 2. Receiver: After the transmitter sends the identification code using short-wave modulation, it is received by the car's short-wave antenna and enters the short-wave high-frequency amplification processor of the receiver's electronic control unit via a distributor for demodulation, where it is compared with the demodulator's identification code.

Transmission: The old Audi Q5L was equipped with an 8AT transmission, while the new model has switched to a dual-clutch transmission. However, the 8AT is superior in both reputation and performance compared to the new generation transmission. 2. Four-wheel drive system: The new model's four-wheel drive system is inferior to the old model's Quattro full-time four-wheel drive system with Torsen differential. Here is some additional information about the new model: 1. Chassis: It uses a front underbody guard made of resin and fiberglass composite, with an added aluminum foil plate for heat insulation at the transmission position. 2. Suspension: The rear suspension uses a conventional lower control arm, with forged aluminum technology and a semi-enclosed resin guard. Components such as the tie rod have been changed to iron material to balance the front and rear axle weight distribution.

How to Repair Scratches on Car Surfaces?

There are three methods to repair scratches on car surfaces: 1. Touch-up Pen Method: Use a paint pen of a similar color to cover the scratched area. This method is simple but the paint adhesion is poor, making it prone to peeling and not long-lasting. 2. Spray Painting Method: Use traditional touch-up paint to repair the scratches. The downside is that it damages a larger area of the original paint, takes longer to repair, and the results are not particularly good. 3. Computerized Paint Mixing and Spraying Method: This is a deep scratch repair technique that combines computerized paint mixing with new technological methods. It is a quick repair technique but requires accurate color matching, minimizing the repair area, and after treatment with special solvents, it allows the new and old paint to blend better.
