To check the production date of FAW-Volkswagen car glass, follow these steps: 1. Locate the numbers and black dots on the glass; 2. Observe the specific numbers and the count of black dots; 3. The numbers represent the year, and dots before the numbers indicate the first half of the year; 4. Dots after the numbers indicate the second half of the year; 5. The number of dots represents the months before or after the midpoint of the year. FAW-Volkswagen is a joint venture car brand between China FAW and Germany's Volkswagen, with models including Magotan, Lavida, Bora, Passat, and Tiguan. Taking the Lavida Plus as an example, it is a 4-door, 5-seater compact sedan with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm.

I remember once when I was driving, the windshield suddenly cracked, and I started wondering how to check the production date. For FAW-Volkswagen cars, the glass usually has a small code in the corner, which is quite easy to find: first, clean the edge of the window, especially the corner on the driver's side, and you'll see a small string of numbers and dots. For example, if the dot is in front, it represents the year, like '23' means 2023; if the dot is behind, the small dots represent the month—seven dots would mean July. After decoding, you can determine how old the glass is. Older glass might be more prone to cracking due to aging or UV damage, which could affect driving safety. In my case, I found out it was a 2018 windshield, which had been in use for several years and needed replacement, so I promptly went to a repair shop. Now, every time I wash my car, I check the glass to prevent any mishaps. This method is quite practical and helps avoid being tricked into replacing unnecessary new parts, especially for Volkswagen owners—it's something you can do yourself, saving a lot of hassle.

Is a leaking CV boot a serious issue?

Leaking CV boot is not a serious issue, but it is advisable to have it inspected and repaired promptly. Below is an introduction to CV boot leaks: 1. Causes: Overfilling of the drive axle reducer with lubricant, exceeding the normal oil level. 2. Hazards: A leaking CV boot reduces the amount of lubricant in the drive axle, affecting normal lubrication and accelerating wear and tear on components, leading to premature failure.
