The price of a tire cannot be judged solely by its speed rating; it requires a comprehensive consideration of various aspects of the tire, such as the brand, type, and applicable wheel size. Often, 91W tires are designed for larger wheel sizes, and larger wheels indicate higher performance requirements for the tire, which can make them more expensive. More details are as follows: 1. The speed rating of tires can be divided into different levels from A to Z, with level A further subdivided into eight different levels from A1 to A8. V indicates that the tire can withstand a maximum speed of 240 km/h, while W indicates a maximum speed of 270 km/h. Generally, the further back the letter representing the tire's speed rating is in the alphabet, the better the tire's performance. 2. Common speed ratings mainly range from Q (160 km/h) to Y (300 km/h), and tires with different speed ratings have different applications: Q-T level tires (maximum speed 160-190 km/h) are suitable for small and compact cars; U-V level tires (maximum speed 200-240 km/h) are suitable for mid-to-high-end cars; while W-Z level tires (maximum speed 240-300 km/h) offer better performance and are therefore more commonly used in large luxury cars and supercars.

What Causes Sudden Engine Stalling During Normal Driving After CNG Conversion?

The main reason for sudden engine stalling during normal driving after CNG conversion is fuel system issues. Below are relevant explanations and solutions: 1. Fuel system problems: During normal engine operation, the fuel pump draws fuel from the tank, passes it through the filter into the distribution line, and then sprays it through the injectors to form an air-fuel mixture. In this process, the fuel pump and injectors are the most prone to failure. Solution: Clean the fuel system, use gasoline with the correct octane rating when refueling, and ensure timely fuel replenishment. 2. Throttle body blockage: The throttle body is a component prone to issues. If frequent throttle cleaning doesn't resolve stalling problems, it usually indicates a malfunction. Additionally, check the vacuum pump to ensure proper air intake volume. 3. Sensor failure: Faulty sensors causing ECU protective fuel cutoff. Check whether all sensors and actuators are functioning properly, with key sensors including the throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. Solution: Conduct comprehensive diagnostics, focusing on spark plugs, fuel pump, and oxygen sensor, followed by ECU matching.

What is the difference between electronic and mechanical gear shifters?

The differences between electronic and mechanical gear shifters are as follows: 1. Electronic gear shifters offer more design flexibility for designers. Car interiors are a key consideration for buyers, and automakers are constantly seeking innovations. Compared to mechanical shifters, electronic ones can be shaped freely by designers, leading to various types such as 'chicken leg' shapes, electronic buttons, and rotary knobs. 2. Electronic gear shifters are more compact. Mechanical shifters require numerous components for gear shifting, including parts to control various valves. With electronic shifters, many mechanical structures are replaced by electronic components and wiring, significantly reducing the overall size. 3. Electronic gear shifters are lighter and safer. Mechanical shifting requires manual pushing and pulling by the driver, whereas electronic shifters simplify the operation. 4. Mechanical shifters offer better reliability and shifting feel. Electronic shifters, controlled by electronic components, are less reliable than mechanical ones and lack the distinct shifting feedback of mechanical shifters.

Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for Golf?

For the Volkswagen Golf, the windshield washer fluid (also known as glass water or wiper fluid) filler port is located in the engine compartment. Open the engine hood to locate the marked cap, then remove it to add fluid. Depending on the vehicle configuration, the washer fluid reservoir capacity is approximately 3–5 liters. Important Notes: 1. Regularly check the washer fluid level during routine maintenance. 2. When refilling, use the manufacturer-recommended cleaning additive with purified water (following the mixing ratio specified on the additive container) as plain water cannot effectively clean the windshield. 3. In cold climates, add special antifreeze to prevent fluid freezing. 4. Never mix the recommended cleaner with other cleaning products, as this may cause ingredient decomposition and clog the washer nozzles. 5. Avoid contaminating the washer fluid with other automotive fluids during refilling, which could lead to serious malfunctions. 6. Do not mix inappropriate additives into the washer fluid, as this may create an oily film on the windshield that impairs visibility.

Where is the Citroen C-Quatre's Air Conditioning Filter Located?

The air conditioning filter of the Citroen C-Quatre is located in the engine compartment, beneath the wiper cover panel. Remove the insulation cotton to find it. More information about the car's air conditioning filter is as follows: 1. The air conditioning filter is positioned behind the glove box on the passenger side. First, open the glove box cover, then locate a fixing clip on the right side of the glove box and pull it outward firmly. After removing the fixing clip of the glove box cover, press both sides of the glove box inward with force and lift it outward to detach the glove box. 2. The function of the car's air conditioning filter is to minimize the entry of unfiltered air into the cabin; to absorb harmful substances and moisture from the air; to filter out dust, pollen, grinding particles, and other solid impurities in the air; to ensure clean air in the passenger compartment without bacterial growth, effectively intercepting pollen to prevent allergic reactions that could affect driving safety.

How to Check the Oil Level in an Audi?

The Audi A4 does not have a dipstick; the oil level can be checked via the oil level sensor. Here is some relevant information about checking the oil level in an Audi A4: 1. While the vehicle is running, the ultrasonic level sensor continuously records the oil height at different intervals. The oil level is significantly lower when the vehicle is running (dynamic monitoring range) compared to when it is stationary (static monitoring range). If a fault is detected during this process, the oil warning light will illuminate to alert the driver, preventing potential engine damage due to low oil levels. 2. Ensure the car is parked on a level surface to obtain an accurate maximum oil level reading. Check the oil when the engine is cold (e.g., after not being driven overnight), as hot oil can splash and make the dipstick reading inaccurate. After turning off the engine, wait for 15 minutes before checking the dipstick. For frequent checks, it is best to do so in the morning before starting the vehicle, as the oil level will be most accurate at this time.
