If the mobile app's database doesn't have it, the QR code won't scan. Many things can't be scanned with a phone. You can check on the China Article Coding Center website. If it's not there, it might be counterfeit. Differences in packaging: Genuine Castrol engine oil packaging has vertical line textures on the barrel, resembling fine lines, with distinct edges at the bottom transition area. Counterfeit oil packaging feels noticeably granular, with smoother transitions at the bottom. Differences in bottle neck craftsmanship: Genuine products have finely crafted bottle necks with no flaws, and clear joints are visible. Counterfeit oil has rough craftsmanship, with no visible sealing lines but visible untreated residual materials. Differences in bottle caps: Genuine Castrol oil has a foil seal at the cap with clear text on the foil, tight sealing, and a protective pad inside the cap. Counterfeit oil may have foil but lacks text, has weak adhesion, and no protective measures inside the cap.

What is the difference between Tiptronic and AT?

The differences between Tiptronic and AT are: 1. Different modes: Tiptronic has both manual and automatic modes; AT transmission only has automatic mode. 2. Different practical technologies: Tiptronic is a transmission device that combines manual and automatic shifting functions, allowing the driver to choose the shift timing in manual mode; AT can only let the computer choose the shift timing, not the driver. Tiptronic combines manual and automatic shifting methods, which is a type of automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. AT refers to an automatic transmission, whose working principle involves assembling two turbine blades in a space filled with hydraulic oil, connected to the power input and output ends respectively. The powerful vortex generated by the impeller at the power input end drives the impeller at the output end to achieve power transmission. The core of the automatic transmission lies in achieving automatic shifting.

What Are the Solutions for Wiper Noise?

Solutions for wiper noise include checking and cleaning debris from the wiper blades or beneath the wipers, replacing the wipers, and inspecting or replacing the wiper arm or wiper linkage bushings. Generally, wiper blades are recommended to be replaced every one to two years. Specific solutions for wiper noise are as follows: Noise caused by debris between the wiper blade and the windshield. When the wiper is activated, a sharp friction sound may occur between the wiper blade and the windshield. Owners can check and clean any debris from the wiper blade or beneath the wiper to ensure the wiper area remains clean. Noise from friction in the wiper linkage bushings. Over time, the wiper linkage mechanism may age, the wiper arm spring may lose elasticity, and the bushings may wear out or even fall off. It is necessary to inspect and replace the wiper arm or wiper linkage bushings. Noise caused by issues with the wiper blade itself. Wiper blades are rubber products and may harden or age after prolonged use, especially in winter. If the wiper does not clean effectively, the simplest and most effective solution is to directly replace the wiper blades.

What is the appropriate mileage for the first maintenance of a new car?

The first maintenance for a new car is appropriate at 5,000 kilometers. The items included in the first maintenance are: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, and clean the air filter; 2. Check whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Inspect the generator belt and wiper blades for any damage; 4. Check tire pressure for normal levels, and look for uneven wear, bulges, or damage on the tires; 5. Examine the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any scratches; 6. Test all switches and lights in the car to ensure they are functioning properly. The benefits of the first maintenance include: 1. Ensuring the vehicle's optimal performance; 2. Enhancing driving safety; 3. Reducing engine noise; 4. Extending the vehicle's lifespan.

What are the reasons for ABS system failure after vehicle inspection?

ABS warning light can indicate various conditions, each with different causes and solutions as follows: Condition 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by mud, sludge, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect wheel speed signals. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands for brake adjustment. Solution: Clean contaminants from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and tone ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose system wiring connections or poor ABS relay contact causing signal issues. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. Condition 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical components are in use, battery voltage drops below 10.5V. The light extinguishes when engine speed increases and voltage rises. Possible low voltage supply to ABS system due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check battery specific gravity; inspect charging system; examine power supply (voltage relay or poor power contact). Condition 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine start until engine IGFF. Cause: Poor grounding contact of ABS hydraulic valve body; faulty wiring connection of ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS control unit malfunction. Solution: Loosen and retighten hydraulic valve body ground screw, clean contact surface if necessary; check for enlarged terminal gaps; replace ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. Condition 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: ABS control unit detects excessive speed difference between front and rear wheels; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to vehicle's specified tire and wheel rim sizes (check label near fuel filler cap). Condition 5: ABS warning light intermittently flashes. Cause: Improper brake light switch adjustment; internal contact failure in brake lights. Solution: With engine running, depress brake pedal, manually push brake switch linkage downward, then release pedal to complete self-adjustment; replace brake light switch if needed. When the ABS warning light is on, continued driving is not recommended as it indicates anti-lock braking system malfunction. During emergency braking, wheel lock-up may cause loss of vehicle control and skidding, preventing speed reduction or trajectory adjustment, posing significant safety risks.
