The longitudinal beam of a car is located in the upper structure. Here is some extended information about the car's longitudinal beam: 1. Definition: It refers to the beam set along the bridge's axial direction in the upper structure of the car, supported by cross beams, and serves the function of supporting objects on the beam. 2. Common materials: Longitudinal beams are generally stamped from low-alloy steel plates, with cross-sectional shapes mostly being channel-shaped, and some are made into Z-shapes or box-shaped sections. 3. Shape: Depending on the different car models and structural layout requirements, longitudinal beams can be made into curved shapes in the horizontal or longitudinal planes, as well as in equal or non-equal cross-sectional styles.

Where is the drainage outlet of the Volkswagen Lavida door?

The drainage outlet of the Volkswagen Lavida door is located at the bottom of the door. You can see it by removing the lowest sealing strip. The door drainage hole is a necessary device on every car, which can effectively drain rainwater out of the car during rainy or snowy weather or when the vehicle is wading, keeping the interior of the car dry. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, the body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, the wheelbase is 2688mm, the fuel tank capacity is 51l, and the trunk capacity is 510l.

Can an electronic throttle be converted to a cable throttle?

An electronic throttle cannot be converted to a cable throttle. A cable throttle connects the throttle pedal to the throttle body via a steel cable, with a 1:1 transmission ratio—meaning the throttle opening angle directly corresponds to how much the pedal is pressed. In contrast, an electronic throttle uses cables or wiring harnesses to control the throttle opening angle, enabling automatic control functions. The engine structures of the two systems differ, and unauthorized modifications can trigger a chain reaction. The working principle of an electronic throttle is as follows: it controls the throttle opening angle via cables or wiring harnesses to achieve automatic control, replacing mechanical linkages with wiring. A small motor is installed at the throttle body to drive the throttle opening angle, known as drive-by-wire, which substitutes the original mechanical transmission mechanism.

How often should Volkswagen Tiguan tires be replaced?

Volkswagen Tiguan tires should be replaced approximately every three years or 50,000 kilometers. The tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly clean stones from tire treads; 2. Minimize tire exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly check tire pressure; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspect front wheel alignment. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150 PS, a maximum power of 110 kW, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Are Antifreeze and Coolant the Same?

Antifreeze and coolant are not the same. Antifreeze is added to the radiator, while coolant is added to the overflow tank. The functions of antifreeze include: 1. Providing anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. Preventing scale buildup to avoid reducing the radiator's cooling efficiency; 3. Ensuring the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Precautions for using antifreeze: 1. The antifreeze level should be checked regularly, and replenished promptly if it falls below the minimum mark; 2. Observe whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediment, and replace it immediately if any is found; 3. Different vehicle models use antifreeze of different colors, so they should not be mixed; 4. Before winter, measure the freezing point of the antifreeze to prevent it from freezing.

What type of engine oil is used for Volkswagen Jetta?

Volkswagen Jetta uses 5w40 engine oil. The method for changing the engine oil is as follows: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container under the oil drain screw; 2. Unscrew the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, then tighten the oil drain screw after draining and wipe it with a tissue to check for oil leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate and lower the car, then use a funnel to add engine oil through the filler port. Taking the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4419mm, width 1841mm, height 1616mm, with a wheelbase of 2630mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a trunk capacity of 482 liters.
