The coolant in a Volkswagen Sagitar should typically be replaced every two years or every 40,000 kilometers. How to Replace the Coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a particular focus on the five-way hose. The coolant flows through the five-way hose before being distributed to different parts of the car to perform its function. If there are signs of coolant leakage in this area, replace the hose or resecure the connection as needed. Drain the old coolant and then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir and continue to fill it, allowing the water to flow continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially draining from the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Note: Don't forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose. Then, add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Add more coolant until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

Must the vehicle owner personally attend the license plate registration?

New vehicle license plate registration can be handled by someone else, as long as the owner's provided ID card matches the name and ID number on the purchase invoice. Notes for new vehicle license plate registration; Note 1: Although imported vehicles and some domestic cars, small, and mini passenger vehicles have been included in the exemption list, the number of domestic car models exempt from inspection is relatively small. After the implementation of the new policy, all domestic cars can be exempt from inspection. The exemption scope includes cars and small, mini passenger vehicles and two-wheeled motorcycles marked with "exempt from new vehicle inspection." Note 2: The exemption does not include off-road vehicles, small and mini ordinary passenger vehicles, and heavy or medium-sized trucks. Note 3: Exemption from inspection does not mean direct license plate registration. The exemption for new vehicles only omits some inspection items. Currently, new vehicles must still undergo appearance inspection, photo-taking, and number stamping at the inspection site before registration. Additionally, tailpipe emission tests for environmental purposes are still required.
