Currently, only Japanese automaker Subaru and German manufacturer Porsche offer car models with horizontally opposed engines, though not all vehicles in their lineups feature this engine type. The horizontally opposed engine boasts numerous advantages, primarily its smooth operation, stability, low center of gravity, and enhanced handling. Presently, Porsche equips only the 718 and 911 models with its renowned horizontally opposed engines. The Porsche 718 comes with either a 2.5T or 2.0T four-cylinder horizontally opposed turbocharged engine, both paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Porsche 911 offers three horizontally opposed forced induction engine options: 3.0T, 3.8T, and 4.0L. In terms of powertrain configurations, Subaru has long been celebrated for its horizontally opposed engines. Subaru models such as the Forester, Subaru XV, Impreza WRX, Legacy, and Outback all utilize horizontally opposed engines.

Which Department to Complain to About Car Quality Issues?

When encountering car quality issues, you can negotiate and resolve the matter with the seller; file a complaint with the car manufacturer for a solution; or lodge a complaint with the Consumer Association and relevant administrative departments. Below are the relevant details about complaints: 1. Filing a complaint with the Consumer Association and relevant administrative departments: When neither the 4S store nor the car manufacturer can effectively resolve the issue, or if the car is already out of warranty and repairs at the service center still fail to fix the problem, it is recommended that the car owner files a complaint with the Consumer Association and relevant administrative departments. After filing a complaint with the Consumer Association or relevant administrative departments, they will handle the case primarily through mediation based on the issues raised by the consumer. 2. Applying for arbitration or litigation: When neither the Consumer Association nor the relevant administrative departments can help resolve the issue, it is recommended that the car owner applies for arbitration or litigation. Arbitration is based on a dispute resolution agreement signed by both parties, where the consumer submits an arbitration application to the agreed arbitration committee; litigation refers to the consumer directly suing the vehicle's producer, seller, or service provider in a court with jurisdiction.

How Long Can You Drive After the Audi A6 Brake Pad Warning Light Comes On?

Audi A6 brake warning light indicates that the brake pads have worn down to the manufacturer's preset wear limit. After the warning light comes on, there is usually 2~4mm of brake pad thickness remaining, which can theoretically last for about 1,000 kilometers. When the brake pads are completely worn out, metal-on-metal contact will occur, causing grooves on the brake discs and increasing safety hazards. Therefore, it is recommended to inspect and replace the brake pads as soon as possible after the warning light appears. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Emergency braking: Some vehicles are not equipped with ABS, so it is not advisable to apply full braking force at once. Instead, apply the brakes in two separate steps to prevent wheel lock-up, which can lead to skidding and loss of steering control. 2. Braking in rainy conditions: When driving on wet roads, avoid sudden braking or sharp turns of the steering wheel. After driving through water, it is best to gently apply the brakes twice to use inertia and friction to remove water from the brake discs, preventing brake failure during sudden braking.

What does it mean when the car CODE light is on?

Car CODE indicates that the indicator light self-test is required. When the self-test button is pressed, all indicator lights on the dashboard illuminate, indicating that all indicator lights can properly report fault conditions. More information about CODE is as follows: Introduction to the CODE light: The car CODE is a detection chip for the car. If the chip cannot be detected, the dashboard will light up. When this indicator is on, the car cannot be started. Attempting to start it multiple times may lock the engine, commonly known as engine immobilization. For cars equipped with an engine immobilizer system, even if a thief manages to open the door, they cannot drive the car away. Solutions for when the car displays CODE: If the car CODE light is flashing, it is likely a fuel-related issue. Check the front and rear oxygen sensors. Initial symptoms of failure include the engine fault light staying on or occasionally flashing on the dashboard. The car may still be drivable for a short time, but if left unrepaired for an extended period, the electronic fuel injection system's computer will not receive information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, preventing feedback control of the air-fuel ratio. This will lead to increased engine fuel consumption and higher exhaust emissions. Therefore, it is essential to address the issue promptly by repairing or replacing the faulty components.
