Except for trailers and motorcycles, the VIN should be fixed on the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or one of the door edges that connect with the door lock pillar, near the driver's seat. If such a location is not available, it will be fixed on the left side of the dashboard. If that is also not possible, it should be fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. Meaning of the VIN: Also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN, it consists of seventeen letters or numbers that can identify the car's manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other performance data. To avoid confusion with the numbers 1, 0, and 9, the letters I, O, and Q are not used. VIN formats: There are mainly two formats for the Vehicle Identification Number. The first is the ISO 3779 standard adopted by the EU, and the second is primarily used in North America. The two formats are compatible with each other.

How to Deal with a Dead Car Battery?

Solutions for a dead car battery: You can choose to jump-start the car with the help of another vehicle and then recharge it through the engine. Here are the reasons for a dead car battery: Long-term parking of the car, leading to battery discharge: When the car is idle, the battery will still discharge due to its self-discharge characteristics, even if it is not in use. The battery has reached the end of its service life: Most private cars currently use maintenance-free batteries. Wipe the battery's inspection window clean and observe the color inside. If it is green, the battery is normal; if it is black, it indicates low voltage and insufficient charge, which can be solved by charging; if it is white, it means the battery has reached the end of its service life. Insufficient battery electrolyte or leakage: During normal use, the electrolyte in a car battery will naturally evaporate and deplete. Therefore, during routine maintenance, you should regularly check the electrolyte level, which should be between the maximum and minimum marks. Insufficient electrolyte will naturally lead to insufficient charge in the car battery.

What are the functions of a center punch?

In bench work and mechanical drilling, marking lines is often required. To prevent the marked lines from being erased, small holes (indentations) are made at certain intervals along the lines as markers. The punch used to create these marks is called a center punch. Since these holes are made with a punch (also known as a prick punch), the positioning holes are referred to as prick punch marks. However, being manual work, the accuracy largely depends on the operator's skill. Nowadays, holes are typically positioned using electronic measuring tools, allowing center drills and drill bits to accurately place holes in the intended locations. The purpose is to prevent drilling deviations by using a "center punch" to create a "dimple" at the desired drilling spot, commonly known as "making a center punch mark."

Why Does the Golf Trunk Keep Not Opening?

Golf trunk not opening may be due to the trunk lock being stuck. You can try pressing the trunk firmly. If it still doesn't open, the lock might be damaged and require repair. Here are the specific differences between hatchback and sedan car trunks: Space Difference: Sedan trunks are significantly larger than hatchback trunks, and sedan trunks are independently separated from the passenger compartment by a partition. Hatchbacks are different - their trunk space is connected to the rear seating area, and when opened, they offer a wider opening angle. Flexibility Difference: Sedans are longer than hatchbacks. While this may appear more aesthetically pleasing, the extra length means the vehicle's maneuverability is more restricted. Therefore, sedans are less flexible than hatchbacks. Safety Difference: Since sedan trunks extend further, in a rear-end collision, the impact would first hit the trunk, leaving some distance to the rear seats and providing better protection for rear passengers. Hatchback trunks are shorter, so in case of a collision, rear passengers would experience greater impact forces.
