I was also curious about where the engine number of the Besturn B90 is located. It's generally found in the engine compartment, on the surface of the left side of the engine block, near the spark plugs or the front end. After opening the hood, look towards the driver's side. Dust might cover it, so clean the area and use a strong flashlight or your phone's light to spot the raised alphanumeric sequence. Make sure the engine is off and cooled down before checking to avoid burns—safety first! This number is handy for vehicle transfer or maintenance registration; even my B90's oil change required it. The position might vary slightly depending on the model year, so check the manual for diagrams. If you can't find it, use the VIN for assistance. Don't rush—take your time to locate it properly in one go.

Locating the Powertrain Number for the Besturn B90, I often assist friends with this. It's typically found on the side of the engine block, most visibly on the driver's side, possibly marked with a small label or directly engraved as raised characters. Pop the hood, clear away any oil stains and dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth to clearly see the serial number. This number is crucial for the vehicle's identity, mandatory for insurance claims or maintenance. A reminder: avoid touching while the engine is running; cold operation is safer. If the position seems off, check nearby plates as they correlate with the VIN. Snap a photo with your phone for future convenience. Simple task, done in minutes.

What causes unstable idle speed when starting a Passat in the morning?

Passat unstable idle speed when starting may be caused by the following reasons: Throttle carbon deposits: A clogged intake tract can lead to idle speed fluctuations, and the presence of carbon deposits or oil in the throttle body is the most common cause of unstable idle speed. Carbon deposits in the throttle can affect its opening degree, impacting the air intake volume, causing the engine speed to fluctuate erratically when starting the car cold, accompanied by strong vibrations. Severe oil accumulation or carbon deposits in the throttle, including a dirty intake tract, can make the car difficult to start in cold weather. Cleaning the throttle is necessary when it is dirty, and throttle cleaning itself is a routine maintenance task. Weak spark plug sparks: Spark plugs can also accumulate carbon deposits, which can be cleaned to restore their activity. However, some spark plugs may be nearing the end of their lifespan, leading to decreased performance. Weak sparks from spark plugs in individual cylinders can affect the car's performance. Faulty spark plugs can cause the car to exhibit "misfire" symptoms, but minor faults in individual cylinder spark plugs may result in unstable idle speed. Therefore, when the car experiences unstable idle speed, cleaning or replacing the spark plugs is also a viable solution to the problem.

How many points can be left on the driver's license without any impact?

C1 driver's license requires at least one point to be left, meaning a maximum of 11 points can be deducted. Below is relevant information: 1. After all points are deducted: You must go to the traffic police department at the place where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days, pay the fine for the violation, complete the full-score education, and have your license confiscated. During this period, you cannot drive a car; otherwise, it will be considered driving without a license, which carries more severe penalties. 2. Notes: To avoid affecting the normal use of the C1 driver's license, you only need to pay the fine for 11 points, and the points will be reset in the next scoring cycle. Pay attention to the C1 driver's license during the probationary period. If 12 points are deducted during the probationary period, the license will be automatically revoked, and you will need to reapply for a C1 driver's license at the driving school.

What Causes the Noise When Braking After a Car Has Been Parked for a Long Time?

Car parked for a long time may produce noise when braking due to abnormal brake pad conditions. Below is detailed information about automotive braking: 1. Overview: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine, and install corresponding brake shoes, belts, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. 2. Brake Pads: Automotive brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc rotating with the wheel. The friction linings and friction blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration.
