Volkswagen Lavida's fuse box is located inside the instrument panel cover on the left side of the driver's seat. Open the driver's side door, then use a flat-head object to insert into the groove of the cover, and carefully pry open the cover to see the fuses inside. Cover: There is a card and a fuse clip on the back of the removed cover, which can be used to remove the damaged fuse. In addition, there is a white card clipped on the back of the fuse box cover, which indicates the positions of various electrical appliances corresponding to the fuses. Power off: When the current reaches 20A, the oxygen sensor fuse will cut off the power. The oxygen sensor is a standard configuration on the car. It uses ceramic sensitive elements to measure the oxygen potential in the car's exhaust pipe, calculates the corresponding oxygen concentration based on the chemical equilibrium principle, and monitors and controls the combustion air-fuel ratio to ensure product quality and exhaust emissions meet the standard measurement elements.

I know the Lavida well! The oxygen sensor fuse is usually located in two places: one is in the engine compartment fuse box, and the other is behind the small storage compartment on the left side of the steering wheel. You'll need to find that small black square box, open the lid, and check the fuse diagram on the inside—it's usually labeled 'Oxygen Sensor' or 'Heated O2' or something similar. Older Lavida models tend to place it in the front right corner of the engine compartment, near the battery, while newer models often move it into the cabin. If you're doing it yourself, remember to always remove the car key first! Have needle-nose pliers and a flashlight ready. If you can't find it, check around page 132 of the owner's manual—it's clearly illustrated there. If the fuse blows, the car will show a warning light, and the engine will shake like it's coughing, so replace it as soon as possible.

What Causes Car Shaking After Washing the Engine with Water?

Because a small amount of water entered the high-voltage wires during car washing, the engine air filter element got wet, leading to increased intake resistance and water entering the combustion chamber, resulting in poor ignition system performance. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Ignition system issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or inadequate spark plug firing can also cause such symptoms. 3. Unstable oil pressure: It is recommended to visit a professional repair shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. If the fuel pump supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor values are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can cause the car body to shake.

What to Do If You Can't Slalom on a Motorcycle?

Relax your mind and muscles, naturally grip the bike body with your legs. Once the slalom starts, find the right angle and speed to enter between the poles. 1. Throttle and clutch coordination: Choose to enter from the middle position between the sideline and the pole in first or second gear. After entering, coordinate the throttle and clutch appropriately, trying to maintain a semi-engaged state, which allows timely cutting of power output for necessary adjustments. 2. Maintain a 'slow' speed: Apply throttle smoothly and gently. If you find the vehicle position deviating from your expectation, avoid abruptly squeezing the brake. Being 'slow' should be within your control, not exceeding the limit where you can maintain balance.

What Causes Blackening of the Car Exhaust Pipe?

Blackening and oil stains on a car's exhaust pipe are caused by incomplete engine combustion, poor fuel quality, and bad driving habits. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for blackening and oil stains on the exhaust pipe: 1. Bad driving habits such as sudden acceleration and hard braking can lead to incomplete combustion, which over time forms carbon deposits. The unburned impurities adhere to the inside of the exhaust pipe, causing it to blacken. 2. Another reason for blackening and oil stains on the exhaust pipe is prolonged low-speed driving. If the vehicle frequently operates in traffic congestion, moving at low speeds or even idling for extended periods, the likelihood of carbon deposit formation significantly increases. 3. Poor fuel quality directly results in excessive impurities in the fuel. These impurities cannot participate in combustion and instead either adhere to the cylinder walls or are expelled into the exhaust pipe, also leading to carbon deposits and blackening of the exhaust pipe.

What is a retarder?

A retarder refers to a device that enables a vehicle to decelerate smoothly when slowing down or descending a long slope, avoiding the wear and heat caused by using the brake. Below is a detailed introduction to retarders: 1. Based on different working principles, automotive retarders can be classified into typical structural forms such as engine retarders, hydraulic retarders, electric turbo retarders, motor retarders, and aerodynamic retarders. 2. According to the form of braking torque application, automotive retarders can be divided into primary retarders (those acting on the front end of the transmission) and secondary retarders (those acting on the rear end of the transmission). 3. When descending long slopes, using exhaust brakes can achieve good braking effects. However, for heavy-duty mining dump trucks, exhaust braking has limited effectiveness and can cause some degree of damage to the engine. Therefore, mining dump trucks equipped with hydraulic-mechanical transmissions are generally fitted with hydraulic retarders.

What are the causes of abnormal noise in a car's expansion valve?

Abnormal noise from a car's expansion valve indicates a blockage in the valve. 1. Causes of blockage: Blockage faults in the thermal expansion valve of the refrigeration system are common, including "dirt blockage" and "ice blockage." The main cause of dirt blockage is the presence of impurities in the system, such as welding slag, copper chips, iron filings, fibers, etc. Ice blockage occurs when there is excessive moisture in the system. 2. Moisture pathways: During installation, insufficient vacuuming time fails to remove all moisture from the pipelines; poor welding techniques at pipeline connections result in air leakage points. When charging the system with refrigerant, the air in the connecting hoses is not purged. Additionally, air can enter when replenishing the system with lubricating oil.
