If the car alarm keeps going off, it is most likely because the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is set too high, causing the alarm to trigger even with slight vibrations. To resolve this issue, first locate the main unit of the anti-theft device, which is usually found under the steering wheel or inside the panel below the A-pillar. Then, simply adjust the sensitivity slightly. As for the reasons why the brakes make noise without pressing the brake pedal, they are as follows: 1. Use of low-quality or overly hard brake pads: If inferior or excessively hard brake pads are used, they may produce a squeaking noise when they rub against the brake discs during braking. Therefore, always opt for high-quality brake pads when replacing them. 2. Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pads and discs: While driving, it's common to encounter complex road conditions. Due to the unique design of disc brakes, some sand or foreign objects may get trapped between the brake pads and discs, leading to unusual noises during braking.

How to automatically close the trunk of Audi A6L?

Audi A6L does not have a trunk opening device inside the car (all models). If you need to open the trunk, you have to wait until the car is parked and pull it manually. The specific location is in the groove directly below the four rings (right above the middle of the license plate). Here are the details: 1. Audi uses a touch-sensitive switch, which can be opened with a light touch (the groove between the two license plate lights). 2. Additionally, the remote key can also open the trunk (after turning off the engine and removing the key). Press and hold the "car logo" button in the center of the remote key (the one between unlock and lock) for 3 seconds, and the trunk will automatically unlock but not open directly. You still need to lift it manually. Finally, you can also open the trunk directly with the key.

What is the adjustment method for kingpin inclination angle?

The adjustment method for kingpin inclination angle is as follows: 1. Use a four-wheel alignment machine to check the data and adjust according to the vehicle's standards, using the alignment machine to position the wheels and detect wheel data; 2. Adjust the left kingpin inclination angle bolt. If the displayed data is red, it needs to be adjusted directly to the green standard data; 3. Adjust the right rear wheel camber bolt. If the data shows red, it needs to be adjusted directly to the green standard value. The kingpin inclination angle requires a four-wheel alignment for adjustment because it can check whether the data is normal. If the data is not within a reasonable range, it needs to be adjusted in time.

How to Identify If a Car Is a Stock Vehicle?

When purchasing a car, you can identify if it's a stock vehicle by the following methods: 1. If there are signs of aging or corrosion in fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, tires, or metal parts, it is likely a stock vehicle; 2. A simple determination can be made by checking the vehicle's nameplate located on the passenger side or in the engine compartment. Below are some hazards associated with stock vehicles: 1. After leaving the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires of a new car, if left idle for a long time without periodic inspection and maintenance, are prone to moisture-induced aging and erosion; 2. For stock vehicles stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products is often undetectable without professional testing equipment. Many vehicles stored for too long also suffer from oil and power shortages.

What is the method for bleeding air from the Audi A4L coolant system?

Audi A4L requires the following steps after adding antifreeze: Open the cap on the radiator, start the engine, and let the car idle for about ten minutes. Observe whether the liquid level in the coolant reservoir drops; if it does, more antifreeze needs to be added. When the coolant level in the reservoir remains stable at the midpoint between the high and low level marks without further changes, it indicates that the air has been bled from the system. Below are the functions of antifreeze: 1. It provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system. 2. It prevents scale formation, avoiding reduced heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator. 3. It ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range.
