The Volkswagen Magotan has a tow hook at the rear. The tow hook is located in the spare tire compartment in the trunk. There is a round cover on the front bumper; remove it and tighten the tow hook. Install the towing tools on the same side: The towing tools should be installed on the same side of the towing hook positions for both the front and rear vehicles. For example, if the faulty vehicle has a left-side hook, the towing vehicle should also use the left-side hook to ensure straight-line driving on the road. Additionally, after installing the tow hook, always inspect it to ensure it is securely fastened to prevent the tow hook from dislodging and causing injury during use. Pay attention to communication and coordination between the front and rear vehicles: There are many nuances to towing, and coordination between the drivers of the front and rear vehicles is crucial. Before towing, the drivers should plan a reasonable route, avoiding complex road conditions and congested areas. Maintain a safe distance: When using a tow rope, to prevent rear-end collisions, it is essential to control the distance and speed between vehicles. Generally, the length of the tow rope is about 5–10 meters, so the distance should be kept within the effective range of the tow rope, ensuring it remains taut. The towing speed should be kept below 20 km/h.

What Causes Engine Oil Leaks?

Generally speaking, the causes of engine oil leaks in automobiles include damage to the engine cylinder gasket, oil pan gasket, or sealing rings; failure of the crankshaft front and rear oil seals or camshaft oil seals; loose fastening screws; or aging of the oil cooler and oil filter base sealing gaskets. Valve Cover Oil Leak: This occurs more frequently in vehicles around 5 years old and requires replacement of the valve cover gasket. Engine Oil Pan Leak: If the oil pan sealing gasket is aged, the oil pan needs to be removed to replace the sealing gasket and reapply sealant. Crankshaft Oil Seal Leak: Replacing the crankshaft oil seal is a labor-intensive operation that involves extensive disassembly and high labor costs. If the leak is not severe (such as minor seepage), it may be advisable to postpone repairs.

Where is the auto-folding switch for the rearview mirror?

Typically, the electric rearview mirror control switch is designed on the driver's side door, while some models place it below the left side of the steering wheel. A few models do not have a dedicated rearview mirror folding button, and the operation method varies by model. You can refer to the user manual for specific instructions. Introduction to rearview mirror folding: The auto-folding function of car rearview mirrors refers to the ability of the exterior left and right mirrors to automatically fold inward when necessary. This feature enhances maneuverability in narrow alleys or when passing other vehicles, prevents scratches and collisions, and reduces parking space usage. Additionally, folding the mirrors when the owner leaves the car helps protect the mirror surfaces. Precautions for using this function: Avoid using the electric rearview mirror folding function in freezing winter conditions, as it may cause damage. Also, refrain from manually forcing the mirrors to fold.

Why Does Traffic Jam Occur on Highways Without Accidents?

Reasons for traffic jams on highways without accidents: Poor driving habits of drivers, slow driving on highways. Poor driving habits of drivers: On highways with heavy traffic, if a driver suddenly changes lanes or cuts in, it will cause the cars behind to brake and slow down one after another, leading to a major traffic jam. It is reported that during heavy traffic, a car traveling at 40km/h that suddenly brakes can affect 10-20 cars in succession, with the affected distance extending up to 400-500 meters. Slow driving on highways: On sections with heavy traffic, slow vehicles occupying the fast lane prevent faster cars from overtaking. When a slow vehicle is in one lane, faster cars in that lane need to merge into adjacent lanes, which also easily causes congestion. The second reason is excessive traffic volume at highway toll stations.
