The car chassis drain hole is specifically located on the left side of the chassis. The following are the functions of different drain holes: 1. Air conditioning drain hole: The function of the air conditioning drain outlet is to discharge the water condensed from the surrounding air during the heat exchange process of the evaporator when the air conditioning is in use. This is why there is often a puddle of water under the car after the air conditioning has been running for a while. 2. Trunk drain hole: Generally, the trunk does not easily get water inside. Rainwater that seeps into the trunk is usually discharged through the drainage channels near the taillights and around the rear fender.

I've been driving for over a decade, and the main drainage holes in the chassis are located near the door seals, along the edges of the trunk, and below the fuel tank cap—areas prone to water accumulation. Rainwater naturally drains through these holes to prevent rust or mold inside the car. Remember to regularly clear leaves and mud; if blocked, water can accumulate in the doors, causing strange noises or electrical issues. Just use a water gun to rinse them during car washes—it's simple. Keeping your car well-maintained ensures a worry-free drive and saves you from many repair hassles. If you're unsure about their locations, carefully inspect the door seams; they're usually small round holes or slits.

As a car enthusiast, I think the chassis drainage holes are quite crucial. They are typically located behind the rubber seals at the bottom of the doors, in the trunk drainage channels, or at the ends of the sunroof tracks. Once these holes get clogged, rainwater can accumulate inside the vehicle, leading to rust or electrical system issues. I recommend checking them after the rainy season—use a flashlight to inspect if the holes are blocked and gently clear them with a thin wire. Parking away from waterlogged areas can also help prevent problems. Maintaining these small holes is simple but plays a big role in protecting your beloved car's lifespan.

As a novice driver, I often ponder the structure of the car. Common locations for drainage holes in the chassis are along the lower edge of the doors, in the recesses of the trunk, and near the fuel tank cap. These small holes help drain rainwater and prevent water accumulation. When inspecting, squat down to check if the holes are clear; if blocked, water can easily seep into the interior and cause mold. Keeping them clean helps prevent rust and ensures safer driving—quite a practical design feature.

SAIC Volkswagen Free First Maintenance Policy?

SAIC Volkswagen's first maintenance policy stipulates that the first service should be performed within six months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The first maintenance is free of charge. Please bring the vehicle's maintenance manual, and it is essential to carry the first maintenance card. If the first maintenance card was retained by the 4S store at the time of purchase, you can directly drive to the purchasing 4S store for the first maintenance. Below are the relevant details about maintenance: 1. Time Frame: After the new car is delivered, the 4S store generally requires the owner to perform the first maintenance within 5,000 kilometers or six months. Therefore, it is crucial not to exceed 5,000 kilometers before the first maintenance. Failing to follow the normal maintenance schedule as per the user manual means forfeiting the warranty, and the 4S store and manufacturer have the right to refuse warranty service for any car issues. If the 4S store suggests additional paid maintenance items, you can decline them. However, free checks such as tire pressure and lighting must be performed. 2. First Maintenance Items: The first maintenance includes two items: oil change and oil filter replacement. The period from when the new car is delivered until the first maintenance is called the break-in period. During this period, because the engine, transmission, and other components have not fully broken in, it is generally advised not to drive too fast—definitely not exceeding 100 km/h, and preferably not exceeding 80 km/h.

Why does the Chery A5 require 5 liters of engine oil?

Chery A5 only needs 3.5 to 4 liters of engine oil. Basic introduction of Chery A5: The Chery A5 is Chery's first fully forward-developed model, integrating global advanced technologies and development resources. With its advanced design concept, majestic and stable appearance, and humanized luxury configurations, it sets a new value benchmark for mid-size sedans. It offers the grandeur of a B-segment car at an A-segment price, creating a platform for pursuing dreams. The trunk capacity reaches 483 liters, with a fuel consumption of 8.5L/100km. Engine options include ACTECO 1.5L, 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L engines, designed under the Sky-line concept. Safety features of the Chery A5: The A5's safety system is comprehensive and meticulous. In terms of active safety, the A5 series is equipped with three major configurations: 'ABS+EBD+4-wheel disc brakes.' For passive safety, it includes six major features: 'B-segment oversized chassis + extended front body energy-absorbing buffer zone + energy-absorbing steering column + pre-tensioned seat belts + 4 airbags + full-steel side impact beams.' It also adopts the advanced serial CAN-BUS network controller found in high-end sedans, elevating the A5's technological sophistication to new heights. The A5 series is Chery's first fully independently developed new car and may also be the most thoroughly independently developed sedan in modern Chinese automotive history (fully independent projects include exterior, interior, and engine). It is no exaggeration to say that the A5 represents the highest level of independent sedan development in China today.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch when shifting gears?

It is essential to depress the clutch when shifting gears. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increase the driving force of the vehicle to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Prevent overload in the transmission system; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and prolong the service life of transmission gears. The working process of the clutch is: 1. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the push rod moves the master cylinder piston to increase oil pressure; 2. The oil flows through the hose into the slave cylinder, forcing the slave cylinder rod to push the release fork and move the release bearing forward; 3. When the clutch pedal is released, the hydraulic pressure is relieved; 4. The release fork gradually returns to its original position under the action of the return spring, and the clutch is re-engaged.

What is the method for extracting excess engine oil?

The method for extracting excess engine oil is: Remove the drain plug and directly drain it from the bottom. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. To minimize gas leakage and prevent external contaminants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. To cushion the pressure rise in the engine cylinder; 5. To clean dirt generated on the working surfaces of components. Signs that indicate the need for an oil change include: 1. Checking the oil viscosity—if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be replaced; 2. The oil color turns black; 3. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil; 4. Checking whether the oil smells normal.
