The adjustment method for the gear lever of an old Jetta car is as follows: when the gear lever is in the neutral position, loosen the screw of the gear lever to adjust the direction of the gear lever by yourself, which can solve the problem. Below is some information about the gear lever of an old Jetta car: 1. Function: It is actually the operating lever for the driver to change gears when driving the car, which can greatly save effort and facilitate the driver's gear shifting operation. Common car gear levers have modes for 1st and 2nd gears, 3rd and 4th gears, and 5th gear. 2. Precautions: Do not look down at the gear lever when shifting gears. Avoid driving in low gear for a long time. Generally speaking, high gear is more fuel-efficient than low gear. Therefore, it is necessary to shift up in time when starting. If the clutch is not fully depressed when shifting gears, it can cause gear damage. In addition, when the clutch is not in use, the foot should not be placed on the clutch to avoid excessive wear of the release bearing. If the direction deviates when shifting gears, do not force the gear lever when it cannot be shifted into gear at once. Do not shake the gear lever back and forth when it is in the neutral position.

What to Do When Your Car Gets Dented by Hail?

The solution for dents caused by hail on your car is: You can use metalworking methods to flatten the dents on the car body caused by hail, then apply putty and repaint. The recommended repair method is paintless dent repair (PDR). PDR does not require traditional metalworking, putty application, or painting. This technology preserves the original car paint, has a short repair time, and fully protects the original paint. Paintless dent repair is based on optical, physical, and mechanical principles to restore the car's dents, maximizing the surface entropy value at the dented area to return it to its original state, achieving a fast, accurate, and complete repair of the car body dents.

Should the Motion Detection While Driving Be Turned On?

Generally, the motion detection function while driving should be turned on because it does not consume much power and provides good vehicle protection when the owner is not present. The motion detection function in a dash cam is similar to parking surveillance. When the vehicle is turned off and stationary, it relies on the dash cam's own power or the car battery to operate. While the motion detection function is active, the dash cam remains powered on but does not record footage. It only starts recording and saves the footage to the dash cam's hard drive when the vehicle body shakes or there is a change in the dash cam's field of view. This effectively prevents situations where the vehicle is scratched by external objects without the owner being able to find evidence.

How to Determine if the Water Temperature Sensor is Damaged?

To determine if the water temperature sensor is damaged: When the water temperature sensor is damaged, the needle on the water temperature gauge will not move, regardless of how high the water temperature gets, and it may directly point to the highest position. Inside the car's water temperature sensor, the lower the temperature, the greater the resistance; conversely, the resistance decreases as the temperature rises. The sensor is installed in the water jacket of the engine block or cylinder head, in direct contact with the coolant, to measure the temperature of the engine coolant. If this component is damaged, it will cause the water temperature gauge on the dashboard to display inaccurate readings and may also affect the normal operation of the electronic fan behind the radiator. For household vehicles, the coolant needs to be replaced regularly. If the coolant is not changed for a long time, dirt in the coolant may coat the water temperature sensor, leading to inaccurate temperature readings detected by the sensor.

After waiting a few seconds, press the brake pedal and hold down the ignition button to start the engine. An automatic transmission refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the transmission control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual gear-shifting operations. Typically, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). The commonly used automatic gear positions are P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive).
