If the first maintenance is not done at a 4S store, the vehicle will not be under warranty. Even if the vehicle is within the warranty period, as long as the maintenance is not performed according to the requirements of the 4S store, it is equivalent to automatically voiding the warranty. The purpose of the first maintenance: The purpose of the first maintenance is to check if there are any issues with the car, change the engine oil, and replace the filter. Because the running-in period of the vehicle is before the first maintenance, as the engine gradually breaks in, mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits will continuously mix into the engine oil. This is why the engine oil during the running-in period cannot operate at high speeds. Precautions for the first maintenance: Be sure to change the engine oil, oil filter, and clean the air filter. Check whether the coolant level of the car is in a normal state. Inspect the car's brakes and whether there are any scratches on the chassis components. Check if the power steering fluid level is normal and if there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe connections. Inspect the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the aging and tightness of the belts. Check the tire pressure and wear condition; if there is wear, perform tire rotation. Remember to bring your user manual for the first maintenance, read the manual carefully, and understand the maintenance mileage, time, items, and costs for your vehicle.

Do You Need to Press the Clutch When the Car is in Neutral?

You do not need to press the clutch when the car is in neutral. Below are some related introductions about the clutch: 1. Improper operation by the driver: Half-clutching causes continuous friction between the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel, generating high temperatures that lead to clutch disc burn. 2. Clutch usage duration: Excessive mileage results in natural aging and wear of the clutch disc. 3. Overloading: Overloading causes abnormal wear of the clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, and other components, leading to clutch disc burn. 4. Excessive gap: A small free travel of the clutch pedal or a large gap between the release bearing and the release lever or diaphragm can cause issues. 5. Oil contamination: The clutch disc slipping due to oil contamination.

What National Emission Standard Does a 2015 Vehicle Belong To?

Vehicles from 2015 should comply with the National Phase V emission standard. The National Phase V emission standard is China's fifth-stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standard, which reduces nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions by 25% and 80% respectively, leading to an overall emission reduction of 10%-15% for Phase V vehicles. Methods to check the emission standard: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental label: The simplest and most direct way is to look at the vehicle's environmental label, which clearly indicates the standard. 2. Online query: Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to check. 3. DMV query: Bring the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the DMV for inquiry. 4. Vehicle manufacturing certificate: For new vehicles, you can check the vehicle manufacturing certificate, but generally, the certificate is kept at the DMV. Therefore, when purchasing a new car, it is recommended to make a copy for future use.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Golf 1.4T?

According to official data, the Golf 1.4T has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Golf 1.4T has a maximum torque of 250 N·m, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Golf 1.4T is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Golf 1.4T has a power-to-weight ratio of 110 Hp/T, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds.
