Volkswagen New Jetta's original spark plugs should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. The model is Bosch FR7DC+, which is a nickel alloy resistance-type spark plug. Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are an important component of a gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and create a spark by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. They are installed on the side or top of the engine. In the past, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but in the last decade or so, most car engines have switched to direct connection between the ignition coil and the spark plug.

Why Does the Car Remote Key Suddenly Stop Working?

There are several reasons why a car remote key may stop working: 1. The battery is dead or has poor contact, the time control module in the remote key is malfunctioning, or the car's remote transmitter antenna is aging. 2. The front windshield has been fitted with explosion-proof solar film, which can partially block the remote signal. 3. During use, avoid exposing smart remote keys to strong magnetic fields, such as high-voltage power lines, transmission towers, or other areas with strong magnetic signals. Smart keys use low-intensity radio waves and cannot function properly under magnetic interference.

Where is the car antifreeze located?

Car antifreeze is located in the car's radiator, and its specific position can be seen by opening the front engine hood. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the car is parked in cold winter. The following points should be noted when purchasing antifreeze: 1. Choose the freezing point of the antifreeze according to the environmental temperature conditions. The freezing point of antifreeze is one of the most important indicators of antifreeze and a key condition for its antifreeze function. The freezing point of the antifreeze should be selected based on the local winter minimum temperature, typically 10℃ to 15℃ below the local lowest temperature. For example, if the local minimum temperature is -30℃, the freezing point of the antifreeze should be below -45℃. 2. Choose antifreeze according to the different requirements of the vehicle. Imported vehicles, domestically produced vehicles, and high-end vehicles should use permanent antifreeze (2-3 years), while ordinary vehicles can use direct-use antifreeze, and softened water can be used in summer. 3. Choose antifreeze with rust-proof, anti-corrosion, and descaling capabilities. The most important function of antifreeze is to prevent rust. It is advisable to choose well-known brand products that contain corrosion inhibitors, rust inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and cleaning agents to ensure product quality. 4. Choose antifreeze that is compatible with rubber sealing conduits. The antifreeze should not have side effects such as swelling or erosion on rubber sealing conduits.

Why does the car have high idle speed when cold?

Cold start high idle speed is caused by the following reasons: 1. If the weather is extremely cold, the idle speed after starting will be below 1,000 rpm, approximately 900 rpm, to protect the engine. 2. If the temperature is above 15 degrees Celsius when starting the vehicle, the idle speed after starting will be around 1,200 rpm, to allow the engine oil to quickly warm up and lubricate the components. Solutions are as follows: 1. Clean the throttle body and perform matching; 2. Check for missing or leaking exhaust pipes; 3. Inspect the intake tract for carbon buildup; 4. Check the coolant temperature sensor.

When is the best time to check engine oil level on a cold engine?

When checking engine oil on a cold engine, the oil level should be between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick, which indicates normal oil volume. Regular oil inspection and maintenance are essential. When checking, pay attention to the oil level by observing its position on the dipstick to determine if it's sufficient. The oil checking procedure is as follows: 1. Locate the dipstick handle in the engine compartment and prepare a tissue. 2. Pull out the dipstick and use the tissue to completely wipe off all oil from the dipstick head. 3. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick, then pull it out again - the oil adhering to the end of the dipstick can now be observed for level measurement.
