Reasons why a single car door cannot open: Child lock is activated, lock cable malfunction, hinge lock pin deformation, door limiter failure. Child lock activated: When closing the door, always check if the child lock is deactivated. If the door won't open, use a flathead screwdriver to turn the child lock to the off position. Lock cable malfunction: When this occurs, the door cannot be opened from inside the car because the malfunctioning cable directly affects the lock mechanism. Hinge lock pin deformation: If the door is subjected to external force, it may cause deformation of the door hinge and lock pin, which is another reason why the door won't open. Door limiter failure: When this issue arises, opening the door becomes very difficult or impossible. The solution is to replace the door limiter with a new one to ensure smooth operation.

What is the center bore data for the Teana wheel hub?

The Teana wheel hub for the Murano convertible edition features an 18-inch wheel with ET40, a center bore of 66.1, and a bolt pattern of 5X114.3. It can be directly installed without the need for a hub centric ring. The recommended tire size is 225/45R18. Wheel bolt pattern: The professional term for wheel bolt pattern is Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD), which refers to the diameter of the circle formed by the centers of the mounting bolts on the wheel hub. Most wheel hubs have either 5 or 4 bolt holes, with varying distances between them. This leads to designations like 4X103, 5X114.3, and 5X112. For example, 5X114.3 indicates that the wheel hub's PCD is 114.3mm with 5 bolt holes. Checking tire wear condition: This includes verifying whether the tire has worn down to the wear indicators normally and checking for uneven wear. Tires with severe abnormal wear should have the cause investigated promptly and be replaced as necessary.

What is the reason for the Volkswagen Bora idling at 1200 rpm?

Idling at 1200 rpm is designed as a cold fast idle to quickly raise the engine temperature to normal operating levels when the car is cold. Once the temperature reaches normal levels, it automatically returns to normal idle speed. Therefore, this occurs every time the car is cold started, which is a normal phenomenon. Idling: It is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. Cold fast idle: When the car is cold started, the vehicle's computer allows the engine to have a high idle speed for several seconds to about a minute. Once the coolant temperature rises to the set temperature, the idle speed returns to normal.

Is Points Deducted for Not Using Turn Signal When Turning Left?

Not using the turn signal or using it incorrectly will result in a deduction of 10 points at a time. The specific regulations are as follows: Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a deduction of 10 points. Turning the steering wheel within 3 seconds of activating the turn signal before starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking will result in a deduction of 10 points. Subject 2 (Driving Test) requires the use of turn signals in 6 situations, which are: Activate the left turn signal when starting the vehicle; Activate the left turn signal when starting on a slope; Activate the right turn signal when pulling over for parallel parking, stopping the vehicle 30 cm from the curb before reversing; Activate the left turn signal before shifting into reverse gear for parallel parking, as the steering wheel will be turned fully to the right during reversing, causing the front of the car to shift left; Before exiting the parking space during parallel parking, shift into drive gear and activate the left turn signal, turning it off promptly after exiting; Activate the left turn signal when entering a right-angle turn, turning it off promptly after completing the turn. Subject 2 is scored out of 100 points, with criteria for failure, deductions of 20 points, 10 points, and 5 points. The test is passed if the following conditions are met: ① For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves) (some regions also include a sixth item: highway card collection). The test items for large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2 include pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through a narrow gate, passing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, U-turns on narrow roads, as well as simulated highways, continuous sharp mountain curves, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling.

What Causes No Sound from the Rear Speakers of a Civic?

The reason for no sound from the rear speakers of a Civic may be due to damage to the speakers themselves or poor contact caused by wiring damage. Contact Point Erosion: Prolonged use of the speakers can easily cause erosion of the contact points, resulting in impedance. Poor Sealing Leading to Moisture: Although the speakers are internally sealed, if the sealing is not tight, moisture can enter during car washing or water vapor in the internal space can cause the contact points to become damp, preventing normal operation. Poor Contact at Electromagnetic Coil Terminals: Some speakers have electromagnetic coil terminals connected with aluminum metal rivets instead of secure welding. If the insulation paint on the enameled wire ends is not properly removed or the rivets are not tightly crimped, it can easily lead to poor contact, causing the speakers to malfunction.
