The VIN of a Mazda3 can be found on the nameplate of the right front shock absorber, or viewed at the lower left corner of the windshield. The VIN is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code that identifies the vehicle's manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. Taking the 2012 Mazda3 1.6L Automatic Classic Special Edition as an example: it is a compact car produced by Changan Mazda with dimensions of 4515mm (length) × 1745mm (width) × 1465mm (height), equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine delivering 79kw maximum power, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

What causes the windshield washer to spray water but not move?

The following are the possible reasons why the windshield washer sprays water but does not move: 1. Check the wiring and motor: Inspect whether the wiring is loose or the motor is damaged. Turn off the engine, open the hood, and activate the washer switch. If you hear the motor working, it indicates the motor is fine; otherwise, it could be loose wiring or a damaged motor. 2. Check the wiring fuse and spray nozzles: Examine the wiring fuse. Check if the spray nozzles are clogged. You can use a thin metal wire to unclog them, but be careful not to break it inside. 3. Pay attention to cleaning: See if there is any debris or residue on the wiper blades; clean them and check again. Also, check if there is tree sap, insect residue, etc., on the windshield; clean it thoroughly and try again.

Should the valve stem be replaced when installing new tires?

It is necessary to replace the valve stem when installing new tires. Here are the specific details: 1. Reason: This is because the valve stem is a rubber component that has an aging cycle. When new tires are installed, even if the valve stem appears to be in good condition at the time, it may age prematurely during the lifespan of the new tires, creating a safety hazard. 2. Valve stem: The tire valve stem is a one-way valve (check valve) used for inflating or deflating the tire with gas or liquid, and for maintaining and checking internal pressure. For tube-type tires, it is installed on the inner tube, while for tubeless tires, it is installed on the rim. Based on structure, valve stems can be divided into two categories: rubber-metal valve stems and metal valve stems with rubber gaskets. The former is used for passenger car tire inner tubes, while the latter is mainly used for truck tire inner tubes. The internal structure of tubeless tire valve stems is the same as that of ordinary valve stems.
