VIN starting with W indicates a German car. Concept of VIN: VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is the unique identifier of a vehicle, containing information such as the manufacturer, year, model, and engine code of the vehicle. Correctly interpreting the VIN is crucial for accurately identifying the vehicle model and performing proper diagnosis and maintenance. History of VIN: The combination and arrangement of the vehicle identification code ensure that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identification for each vehicle. Hence, it can be referred to as the 'car's ID card.' The history of VIN can be traced back to 1949. It's important to note that the VIN does not include the English letters O, Q, and I, to avoid confusion with the Arabic numerals 0 and 1.

Does a Deformed Condenser Have Any Impact?

Certainly, a deformed car condenser affects heat dissipation, but the impact is not severe since only a single condenser tube is damaged, which can be repaired by welding. Even without welding, it can still be used by simply sealing off the damaged tube. Generally, if the damaged condenser tubes do not exceed 10%, the condenser can continue to be used. Below is a detailed introduction about car maintenance: Overview: Car maintenance is a general term for the upkeep and repair of automobiles. It involves using technical methods to diagnose faulty cars, identify the causes of malfunctions, and take measures to eliminate the faults and restore the car to certain performance and safety standards. Others: Car maintenance includes major repairs and minor repairs. Major car repairs refer to restorative repairs that use methods of repairing or replacing any car parts (including fundamental components) to restore the car's sound technical condition and fully (or nearly fully) recover its lifespan. Minor car repairs refer to operational repairs that use methods of replacing or repairing individual parts to ensure or restore the car's operational capability.

How long is the validity period of a driver's license exam?

The driver's license exam is valid for 3 years from the date of issuance, meaning it expires within three years from passing the first subject test. The relevant regulations and methods to check the validity period are as follows: Article 38 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses': Applicants learning to drive on training grounds and roads must obtain a learning driving certificate as required. The learning driving certificate is valid for three years, and applicants must complete the second and third subject tests within this validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subject results will be invalidated. Methods to check the validity period: Some people, due to work or other reasons, may not have time to proceed with further training after passing the first subject test. When they resume learning to drive, they may not remember how much time is left in the validity period. In such cases, they can visit the vehicle management office to print the learning driving certificate. The certificate will indicate the permitted vehicle type, as well as the start and end dates of the validity period. As long as the exams are passed before this end date, it is acceptable.

What is the reason for the open circuit of coolant pump 2?

The open circuit of coolant pump 2 means that there is a fault with a coolant pump, which needs to be checked or replaced. Coolant pump 2 is an auxiliary water pump located not far from the main water pump, used for continuous heat dissipation after the car is turned off. Check the wiring harness and the small water pump. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Extended information: Wiring harness: The wiring harness is directly connected to the engine computer through a plug without a fuse. The water pump of this car is installed under the intake pipe. It is located at the interface between the engine and the transmission, below the intake pipe. Replacing the water pump requires removing the intake pipe. Coolant: Coolant is an indispensable part of a car engine. It circulates in the engine cooling system, carrying away excess heat generated during engine operation, allowing the engine to operate at normal working temperature. When the coolant is insufficient, it will cause the engine water temperature to be too high, leading to damage to engine components. Therefore, once the owner finds that the coolant is insufficient, it should be added in time.

What does AGM on a battery mean?

Automotive AGM battery is a valve-regulated sealed battery that uses glass fiber separators. Automotive battery, also known as storage battery, works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The application models of AGM batteries and maintenance methods for automotive batteries are as follows: Application models of AGM batteries: Most AGM batteries are used in cars with automatic start-stop systems. AGM batteries have superior cycle performance and charging acceptance compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. They perform better than lead-acid batteries in low-charge states and have a longer service life than most lead-acid batteries. Most AGM batteries can last 7 to 8 years without any problems. These batteries are suitable for cars equipped with engine start-stop technology and also meet the requirements for cars with more electronic systems. Automotive battery maintenance methods: Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods to prevent the battery from freezing and getting damaged; car engines are harder to start in winter, and each start attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with an interval of at least 15 seconds between attempts.

How Long Can You Sleep in a Car Before Suffocating?

If the air circulation is good and the temperature is low, an adult can stay in the car for 2 hours without any adverse reactions. However, in a high-temperature environment during summer, a car at 35 degrees Celsius can reach 50 degrees Celsius inside within 30 minutes. Combined with the confined space, this can lead to fatal consequences within an hour. Precautions for sleeping in a car are as follows: Ventilation: When sleeping in a car, always leave a gap to allow air circulation. Do not close the doors and windows completely to avoid oxygen deprivation and suffocation. At the same time, the gap should not be too large to prevent attracting the attention of criminals and potential theft. Use of Air Conditioning: When sleeping in a car, it is best to turn off the compressor and switch the air conditioning to external circulation mode to allow natural airflow into the car. Avoid turning on the compressor and using internal circulation mode to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Parking Location: Choose an open area to park when resting in a car. Avoid parking in underground garages or other confined spaces to prevent the accumulation of carbon monoxide.
