China International Energy's fuel is cheaper primarily because it is a private enterprise. Here are the reasons why International Energy's fuel is cheaper: 1. Surviving in competition with the 'Big Three' oil companies: Currently, the domestic fuel market is largely monopolized by the 'Big Three' oil companies. For private gas stations to survive, they need to engage in price wars to stabilize sales and secure a certain market share. 2. Lower fuel processing costs: Private gas stations are more stringent in controlling production costs. Their fuel processing is not as refined as that of state-owned gas stations, leading to lower costs and consequently lower fuel prices. 3. Lower transportation costs: Private gas stations use a point-to-point fuel transportation method, directly transporting fuel from local refineries to the gas stations.

How to turn off the rear wiper of the Tiguan?

The rear wiper of the Tiguan cannot be turned off, which may be due to improper operation. The correct method to turn it off is to push the control lever forward once, and the rear wiper will be turned off. The lever on the right side of the Tiguan's steering wheel can be moved up and down to control the front wipers, and moved forward and backward to control the rear wiper. More information about the Tiguan's wipers is as follows: 1. The rear wiper is the wiper on the rear windshield of the car. Rear wipers are mostly equipped on SUVs, MPVs, hatchbacks, and some liftback cars. Moving the wiper lever forward or backward can activate the rear wiper, and it can also control the automatic swinging of the rear wiper and the spraying of the rear wiper. 2. The rear glass of a sedan has a relatively large inclination, while that of a hatchback has a relatively small inclination. The front wipers are hidden behind the engine hood, so when high-speed airflow passes over the front of the car, it is blocked by the engine hood and does not affect the wipers. However, the rear wiper has no place to hide, so the impact of high-speed airflow must be considered before installation. Due to the inclined rear window of a sedan, the wind speed during driving is very fast, which not only hinders the car's movement but also severely affects the wiper's performance. In contrast, the rear window of a hatchback is almost vertically installed, so the wind speed is slow and the impact is minimal, making it suitable for installation.

What is the normal fuel pressure value for an Audi A6?

Audi A6's normal gasoline pressure generally ranges between 300kpa to 350kpa. Depending on the model, the gasoline pressure may vary. Typically, as long as it's around 300kpa, which is 0.3MPa, it is considered normal. More information about gasoline pressure is as follows: 1. When the engine oil pressure is too high, it disrupts normal lubrication conditions. The most common causes include: excessive oil viscosity, oil deterioration and gumming, clogged filter and oil passages, improperly adjusted or stuck pressure relief valve can all lead to excessive oil pressure. 2. When the engine oil pressure is too low, it will result in inadequate lubrication, cooling and cleaning, leading to adhesive wear of parts. There are many reasons for low oil pressure, such as low oil viscosity, ruptured filter, excessive clearance between crankshaft main journal and connecting rod bearing, etc., all of which can cause low oil pressure.

Can the Engine Still Run After Cylinder Scuffing?

If a car experiences cylinder scuffing, it should not be driven. Cylinder scuffing can cause a rapid rise in water temperature and severe water shortage in the radiator. The vehicle should be stopped immediately and sent to a repair shop for inspection and maintenance. Continuing to drive can lead to cylinder seizure and, in severe cases, engine damage or even total failure. Below is more information about cylinder scuffing in cars: 1. Cylinder scuffing is a common car malfunction. A blown head gasket can produce various forms of abnormal noises, and the sound may vary depending on the extent of the gasket damage. 2. The primary cause of cylinder scuffing is a severe lack of lubrication oil, leading to poor lubrication. This results in intense friction between the cylinder liner and piston, as well as the connecting rod, causing temperatures to rise. However, inadequate heat dissipation fails to provide cooling, reducing the lubrication gap. This can cause the piston, cylinder liner, and connecting rod to seize together. Due to the strong inertial force continuing to operate, it can easily lead to cylinder seizure, causing severe impact damage to the engine block.

Does Alcohol Damage Car Paint?

Alcohol can cause some damage to car paint. As alcohol is a strong solvent, it can make the paint surface appear matte, thereby diminishing the gloss of the paint. It is recommended to dilute alcohol with water when washing the car to avoid harming the paint. Here are some car cleaning precautions: 1. The longer substances like salt, dust, insects, and bird droppings remain on the car, the more damage they can cause. Clean them off promptly. 2. Prolonged exposure to substances such as asphalt, oil stains, and industrial dirt can damage the paint. Use asphalt remover, insect remover, etc., to clean stains promptly. 3. When cleaning the car's painted surfaces, avoid using brushes or coarse cloths to prevent leaving scratches.

Do I need to warm up the car if it's not driven in winter?

It is necessary to warm up the car in winter if it's not driven. Warming up the car for 1 to 2 minutes is appropriate, allowing the engine coolant to reach normal temperature before driving. Here are the reasons for warming up the car in winter: 1. After prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. 2. Before the engine reaches its operating temperature, the fuel supply system cannot effectively vaporize gasoline completely due to low temperature. 3. In cold conditions, gear oil flows to the lower part of the transmission. Here are the effects of not warming up the car in winter: 1. It causes wear and tear on the engine, transmission, and various parts of the engine, leading to a shortened lifespan. 2. It increases fuel consumption and makes the engine more prone to carbon buildup.
