Golf 7 cars should have their timing belts replaced every five years or every 100,000 kilometers. The Volkswagen Golf 7 has two engines that use timing belts for transmission, which are the 1.2T and 1.4T EA211 engines. More details about the timing belt are as follows: 1. The internal components of the engine timing belt consist of six parts: the timing belt, timing belt tensioner, guide pulley, intake camshaft pulley, exhaust camshaft pulley, and crankshaft pulley; 2. Timing belt transmission produces less noise than chain transmission engines, operates more smoothly, and the maintenance cost of timing belts is much lower than that of chain transmission engines.

Can the car still run if the engine motherboard is broken?

Whether the car can still run with a broken engine motherboard depends on the situation. For ordinary mid-to-low-end cars, once the motherboard is damaged, the vehicle cannot start, let alone be driven; if there are multiple motherboards, the car can continue to be driven. The reasons for the damage to the car's computer board are as follows: The car has been submerged in water: If the vehicle has been submerged in water, the computer board may corrode, causing short circuits, adhesion of component pins, or damage to the components. Burned-out components: During vehicle charging, if the charger voltage is adjusted too high, the positive and negative polarities are reversed, the starter motor or engine is running with loose battery connections, causing the generator to directly supply power to the computer board, etc., it may lead to the burning out of high-power voltage regulator diodes and other components.

Do You Turn on the Headlights When Driving at Night?

When driving at night, you should turn on the headlights, which include both high beams and low beams, primarily used for illumination during nighttime driving. The difference between low beams and high beams: High beams have a higher angle and illuminate a longer distance, suitable for roads with no streetlights or poor visibility; low beams have a lower angle and shorter illumination distance, mostly used on well-lit roads with good conditions. How to turn on high beams and low beams: The control for high beams and low beams is on the lever to the left of the steering wheel. The middle position is for low beams, while the first and third positions are for high beams. The high beam icon is blue with straight lines, while the low beam icon is green with downward-slanted lines.

Does Car Decal Affect the Paint?

Car decals do not affect the paint. Try to find a good car wash: For the first wash of a new car, it's best to go to an indoor dust-free hand wash facility or a high-quality car wash. Some contaminants are not visible to the naked eye, such as tree sap, alkali, acid, and other chemical pollutants, which should be thoroughly removed. Don't rush to wax: New cars should not be waxed casually because the paint layer already has a protective wax coating. Waxing too early may remove the original wax on the new car's surface, causing unnecessary waste. Generally, there's no need to rush to wax a new car within three months of purchase. Regularly inspect the car body: Regularly check the car body, engine hood, and surrounding areas. If any scratches are found, they should be promptly addressed at a professional detailing shop.

Why Does the Trunk of a Car Get Wet When It Rains?

After rain, the reasons for water entering the trunk of a car include: water accumulation in the fuel tank cap and clogged car sunroof. Water accumulation in the fuel tank cap: The fuel tank opening faces upward, and there is a drainage hole on the fuel tank cap. This design is very prone to water accumulation. Therefore, once the drainage hole is clogged, it can lead to water entering the trunk. It is essential to clean it thoroughly; otherwise, it may cause damage to the fuel tank cap and door panels. Clogged car sunroof: The guide rail of the car sunroof has four corners. If the car is equipped with a sunroof, these four corners need to be carefully inspected. If these corners get clogged, rainwater can easily flow into the car through the sunroof after rain, causing water to enter the trunk.
