Volkswagen Polo's idle speed fluctuation when the AC is on is caused by factors such as air leakage in the intake system or low fuel pressure. Intake system air leakage: This fault directly affects the quality of the fuel-air mixture and combustion efficiency. Possible leakage points include the intake manifold, vacuum hoses, charcoal canister valve, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve, positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve, etc., which need to be inspected one by one. Low fuel pressure: Mainly check whether components such as the fuel filter and fuel pump are clogged, or if the fuel lines are deformed.

What are the sizes of SUV tires?

SUV tires range in tread width from less than 6 inches to more than 10 inches. The selection depends on load rating, speed rating, and performance on slippery surfaces, with significant variations in tread design. Differences between sedan tires and SUV tires: Sedan tires mostly feature small patterns/blocks, with more densely spaced lateral grooves across the tire to enhance handling and reduce noise. SUV tires have deeper and wider tread patterns than sedan tires to maintain optimal traction. SUV tires generally have a higher aspect ratio. Additionally, SUV tires are significantly harder in tread hardness compared to sedan tires. Types of SUV tires: HT tires, AT tires, MT tires. HT tires: Among SUV tires, HT tires are the closest to sedan tires in terms of positioning and performance trade-offs. This type of tire is widely used in urban SUV models. AT tires: AT stands for all-terrain tires, meaning they can adapt to various road conditions. These tires offer more balanced performance, performing well on both paved and unpaved surfaces. MT tires: MT tires are the most niche category among SUV tires, often considered the 'special forces' of SUV tires.

What Causes Brake Pulling During Braking?

The causes of brake pulling include: 1. Uneven braking force on the left and right sides of the same axle. If the clearance between the rear brake shoes and drums is inconsistent, it can lead to asynchronous braking or differences in contact area, resulting in uneven braking force. In such cases, adjust the left and right brake clearances or polish the contact surface of the brake shoes as per specifications. 2. Different braking torque on the left and right sides of the same axle. This can cause one-sided braking, often due to issues like leaking brake wheel cylinders, rusted pistons, oil-contaminated drum brake shoes, or varying surface roughness between brake discs and pads or drums and shoes. Inspect and rectify accordingly during maintenance. 3. Uneven tire pressure, tread patterns, or wear levels on both sides. These differences can cause the actual rolling radius of the wheels to vary, leading to unequal straight-line travel distances. This can cause the vehicle to pull to one side even when not braking. 4. Improper body repair on accident-damaged vehicles. If the wheelbase on both sides is unequal due to poor repairs, or if suspension components like shock absorber springs are uneven or one side fails, loose suspension ball joints, or deformed connecting rods, these can interfere with each other during braking and cause pulling. 5. Incorrect wheel alignment can also lead to brake pulling.

What is the Structure of a Racing Car?

The shape of a racing car is formed by comprehensively considering the reduction of the frontal area of the car body, increasing the adhesion to the ground, and the regulations of motorsport. The mass of the racing car, including the driver, must not be less than 595 kilograms, the width must not exceed 2000 millimeters, and the total height measured from the lowest part of the chassis must not exceed 950 millimeters. The chassis material is made of carbon fiber panels used in aerospace equipment, with an aluminum honeycomb structure panel sandwiched inside. The following are related content introductions: 1. Sports Equipment: Because an F1 racing car is not a tool for creating the highest speed, but a piece of sports equipment. Therefore, F1 racing cars do not pursue the highest speed from the beginning, but the highest rotational speed. 2. Performance Parameters: An F1 racing car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reach 200 km/h in 5 seconds; F1 racing cars have strong braking characteristics, capable of decelerating from 300 km/h to 0 km/h in 3.5 seconds, with a braking distance of 65 meters.

Which Vehicles Are Exempt from Inspection for 6 Years?

Vehicles exempt from inspection within six years include non-commercial cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles. Here are the specific details about vehicle annual inspections: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Exemption Policy: Non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from on-site inspection for 6 years. However, owners still need to pass an exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually 2 years) and apply for an inspection exemption mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police substation. The mark must be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial cars and other vehicles has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2012, can be exempted twice; those registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, can be exempted once; and those registered before August 31, 2010, must still follow the original inspection regulations for annual review.

Do I need to go to the DMV for procedures when changing the car color with a wrap?

Changing the car color with a wrap requires filing with the DMV and updating the vehicle registration photo; otherwise, you may be stopped by traffic police while driving. Using a car wrap is a convenient method to alter the body color without repainting—simply applying a layer of film suffices. After completing a full-body color wrap, which effectively changes the car's color, you must file the changes with the local DMV. Documents required for car color change procedures: 1. Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card; 2. Vehicle registration certificate; 3. Vehicle license. When processing the color change, the applicant must bring the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, and other required documents, obtain the Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form, fill it out carefully with a pen or marker without alterations. If processing through an authorized agent, the agent must also submit their original ID and photocopy, jointly sign the Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form with the vehicle owner, and specify the reason for the color change and the new color on the form.

What Are the Reasons Why a Car Won't Move?

Reasons why a car won't move are as follows: 1. Battery depletion: The battery voltage is below the rated value, and the starter cannot operate normally. 2. Fuel flow obstruction: Long-term dirt in the fuel line, mixed with water and debris at lower temperatures, blocks the fuel line, resulting in no oil pressure in the engine's fuel supply pipe and causing failure to start. 3. Poor ignition system performance: Insufficient ignition energy causes excessive fuel accumulation in the cylinder, exceeding the ignition limit concentration and preventing normal operation. Solutions for a car that won't move are as follows: 1. Charging: Charge the battery. 2. Cleaning: Place the car in a warm environment or clean the fuel system. 3. Inspection: Check the ignition system and eliminate the cause of low ignition energy.
