Antifreeze and windshield washer fluid are not filled in the same location. Windshield washer fluid filling port is located in the engine compartment: Open the engine compartment and look for a blue cap (some may be other colors). The cap will have a windshield symbol or a similar water spray symbol. Pour the windshield washer fluid directly into it, and it usually takes about 1.5 liters to fill. Antifreeze should be added by opening the expansion tank cap: The expansion tank is a transparent container marked with minimum and maximum levels. Fill the antifreeze between these two levels. Never open the cap to add antifreeze when the engine is hot, as the cooling system is under high pressure. Opening the cap when hot may cause high-temperature coolant to spray out, leading to dangerous consequences.

What Causes the Ticking Noise When Accelerating but Not When Releasing the Throttle?

Reasons for the ticking noise when accelerating but not when releasing the throttle: 1. If the sound is not very clear inside the car, it is generally not a major issue. Vehicles often produce corresponding ticking noises, which can be from the fuel injector working or the valve area. 2. Most cars will have slightly louder engine noise during cold starts compared to when the engine is warm. As long as the sound is uniform, smooth, and not harsh, it is usually not a problem. 3. Oil-related issues, such as using low-quality oil or not changing the oil for an extended period, can increase friction between the valves and guides or hydraulic lifters, making various engine noises more pronounced.

What does pause mean?

pause: The cruise control system of the motor vehicle is paused. Specific introduction is as follows: 1. It is necessary to resume the cruise control system, or turn off the cruise control system, and then this indicator on the dashboard will turn off. 2. Once a fault indicator appears on the dashboard of the motor vehicle, the vehicle must not be driven, and the relevant parts must be checked. 3. The cruise control system of the motor vehicle can also be called the cruise control device or speed control system. It can be turned on or off according to the driver's requirements. The driver first needs to set the speed. After turning it on, the driver does not need to step on the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle will automatically maintain the speed, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed.

What does the maximum torque speed of 1500-4500 mean?

The maximum torque speed of 1500-4500 means that the engine will produce its maximum torque within the speed range of 1500 to 4500 revolutions per minute. Maximum torque refers to the highest torque value across the entire engine speed range, typically measured in N·m (Newton meters). The engine speed at which this maximum torque occurs is called the maximum torque speed, measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Relevant information about maximum torque speed is as follows: 1. Torque is an important parameter of engine performance, representing the average moment output from the crankshaft during engine operation. 2. Maximum torque generally occurs in the medium to low speed range of the engine, and tends to decrease as the speed increases.

What Does Cylinder Scoring Mean?

Cylinder scoring is one of the common failures in automobile engines. It refers to deep grooves being formed on the inner wall of the cylinder, causing the piston and piston rings to lose their sealing ability when rubbing against the cylinder wall. This results in reduced cylinder compression pressure and loss of power. In severe cases, adhesive wear may occur, leading to difficulties in starting the engine or unexpected stalling. It is a major incident for the engine. The root cause of cylinder scoring is the inability to form an oil film between the cylinder wall and the piston rings or piston, resulting in poor lubrication or even dry friction. Specific reasons for this condition include: 1. Piston ring clearance being too small; 2. Piston pin displacement; 3. Piston-to-cylinder clearance being too small or too large; 4. Severe carbon buildup on piston rings; 5. Severe piston misalignment.

What does the GTE button on the Volkswagen Passat mean?

GTE button refers to the power switching button of hybrid models, and GTE is the suffix name of Volkswagen's plug-in hybrid models. Plug-in hybrid vehicles belong to new energy vehicles, which are different from ordinary hybrid vehicles. Plug-in hybrid vehicles can use external power sources to charge the power battery. Precautions for using the Passat GTE: 1. The dual-clutch gear lever of the Passat is located in the center position on the right side of the driver. The key to driving the Passat dual-clutch automatic transmission is the driver's reasonable operation. Before driving, it is necessary to adjust to a proper sitting posture. 2. When the vehicle needs to start, shift the gear into D gear. Note that after lifting the brake, adding a little throttle can help the vehicle start faster. If the vehicle requires low-speed high torque, the gear can be switched to S manual mode. 3. When parking or stopping, shift the gear into P gear and pull up the electronic handbrake. If the vehicle needs to be towed due to a malfunction, shift the gear into N gear to cut off the power.
