The most convenient place to find the VIN number on the Roewe W5 is on the front windshield on the driver's side. You can also locate the nameplate with detailed information and embossed steel stamping on the B-pillar of either the driver or passenger side. Additionally, this information can be found in the engine compartment. Below is some relevant information about the Roewe W5: 1. Configuration: The Roewe W5 is Shanghai Automotive's first mid-size SUV model and China's first independently developed mid-to-high-end SUV, positioned as a "cross-domain professional SUV." The vehicle features a P-4WD professional-grade all-mode drive system, HFA high-strength off-road body structure (body-on-frame), double-wishbone front suspension + five-link rear suspension, imported off-road tires, and SCS intelligent active safety control system, which highlight its professional off-road capabilities. The Roewe W5 combines the comfort of a sedan with the off-road performance of a professional SUV, making it undoubtedly the most specialized model among urban SUVs. Its cross-domain professional design ensures outstanding performance in critical off-road driving situations. 2. Exterior: The exterior is bold and showcases an off-road style, with a solid chassis that handles bumpy roads effortlessly. The six-speed automatic transmission is highly efficient. 3.

Having driven the Roewe W5 for five or six years, I'm very familiar with the VIN. You can find it at the lower left corner of the windshield on the driver's side—just crouch down near the wipers, and you'll see a 17-character alphanumeric steel stamp through the glass. If it's raining and hard to see, remember to bring a cloth to wipe off the moisture. There's also a VIN printed on the label on the passenger-side B-pillar; just open the right front door, and you'll find the white sticker with black lettering where the door frame meets the body. Another set can be found in the spare tire well—just lift the trunk mat to see it. The VIN is like the car's ID card, needed for insurance, transfers, or inspections, so it's best to take a photo and save it on your phone. For older cars, the B-pillar label might be worn, so checking the windshield is the most reliable option.

What Causes Black Smoke from the Exhaust Pipe?

Black smoke from the exhaust pipe indicates an excessive amount of carbon particles in the exhaust, which can only mean one thing: incomplete combustion of the fuel. The main reasons for incomplete combustion are as follows: It is caused by an overly rich fuel-air mixture, leading to incomplete combustion; Check if there is insufficient air intake, primarily by inspecting whether the air filter is clogged or if the air flow meter is damaged; Inspect the fuel injectors' performance to see if poor atomization is the cause, and also pay attention to fuel quality; Misfiring, meaning one cylinder in the engine is not working or performing poorly. Check the condition of each spark plug and ignition coil, and whether the spark plugs have not been replaced for a long time. This issue is usually accompanied by severe engine shaking and a lack of power, and it is a relatively common fault; Check the cylinder compression to see if there is any air leakage, and whether the valves or combustion chamber have excessive carbon buildup; Inspect the ignition timing and valve timing to see if there is any deviation, such as being advanced or delayed. If you reach this step, it is best to visit a relevant repair station for further inspection.

How to Register Modified Wheels at the Vehicle Management Office?

Before modification, you can consult the vehicle management office to understand the situation and apply for a change of registration. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel core connected by columns inside the tire, which is the metal component that supports the center of the tire mounted on the axle. The maintenance methods for wheel hubs are as follows: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the wheel hub should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after cleaning, waxing can be applied to the wheel hub to maintain its luster; 3. When the wheel hub is at a high temperature, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean it, as this can damage the aluminum wheel hub, cause deformation of the brake disc, and affect braking performance. Using detergent to clean the wheel hub can cause a chemical reaction on the surface, resulting in loss of luster.

What is the Audi TT lighting fault symbol?

When a bulb icon with an exclamation mark appears on the dashboard, it indicates a fault in the external lighting system. Here is some relevant information: 1. The external lights of a car include: headlights, position lights, fog lights, license plate lights, reverse lights, turn signals, brake lights, and contour lights. Any of these lights being damaged can affect driving safety. 2. Lights are important components of a car, with different lights serving different purposes, all installed to ensure safe driving. 3. Headlights: Also known as main beams or headlamps, they are installed on both sides of the front end of the vehicle and are used for road illumination during nighttime driving. To prevent the strong light of the headlights from blinding drivers of oncoming vehicles during encounters, headlights generally use dual-filament bulbs, which emit both high beams and low beams.

What are the reasons for a car air conditioner not cooling?

Here are the reasons why a car air conditioner may not cool: 1. Lack of refrigerant. Car air conditioners typically require refrigerant replenishment every 2-3 years, with leaks being the main cause of refrigerant loss. If your car's air conditioner stops cooling and resumes after adding refrigerant but stops again after a while, you should be cautious. 2. Damaged air conditioner flap. Damage to the air conditioner flap motor is relatively rare but not unheard of. If the flap motor fails, it can be troublesome. The flap motor is usually located in the lower middle part of the dashboard and serves as the main switch for the air vents. If it fails, the switch is broken, and even if the air conditioner can produce cold air, it will only come out through gaps, making the cooling effect minimal. 3. Dirty condenser. The purpose of cleaning the radiator and condenser is mainly for heat dissipation. When cleaning, be sure to first use compressed air to blow away debris before washing with water; otherwise, it may have the opposite effect, leading to poor cooling and increased fuel consumption. 4. Damaged air conditioner compressor, throttle valve, or expansion valve. The probability of the air conditioner compressor failing is low, so there's no need to worry too much. However, faults in the expansion valve or throttle valve can directly cause the air conditioner to stop cooling. 5. Worn or loose belt. During routine maintenance, 4S shops usually remind you to replace the belt. If not replaced, slippage may occur during use, leading to belt breakage, unusual noises, loss of power assistance, and poor air conditioner cooling. 6. Water in the pipeline. The car air conditioner's refrigeration system includes a dryer tank, whose main function is to absorb moisture from the refrigerant and prevent excessive moisture from reducing cooling capacity. When the desiccant in the dryer tank becomes saturated, it can no longer filter out moisture.

Where is the Enclave's cabin air filter located?

The Enclave's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, first open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. On the right side of the glove compartment, there is a buffer that can be removed using some tools. Note that there are also two limiters inside the glove compartment. Push the glove compartment horizontally toward the center with force to remove it. More details are as follows: 1. When replacing the cabin air filter, pay attention to the fact that the filter has a front and a back side, with an arrow indicating the front. Be careful not to install it backwards. 2. The replacement interval for the cabin air filter depends on the specific usage conditions of the vehicle. If the car is driven in areas with poor environmental conditions, it is recommended to regularly check the condition of the filter. If the filter is excessively dirty, it is advisable to replace it promptly. 3. There are two types of cabin air filters used in vehicles: one is a standard cabin air filter, and the other is an activated carbon cabin air filter. Compared to the standard filter, the activated carbon filter provides better air filtration. 4. The activated carbon cabin air filter has a layer of activated carbon in its interlayer, which can effectively adsorb external impurities and odors produced by the air conditioning system.
