The other day I drove my friend's Passat to refuel, but couldn't find the fuel tank cap switch for the life of me. They laughed at me for being old-fashioned. Later I learned that the new Passat models don't even use mechanical keys for the fuel cap anymore. When you sit in the driver's seat, feel along the left side near your leg - there's a button with a fuel tank symbol under the center console. Here's the key point - the car must be unlocked for the button to work! When you press it, you'll hear a 'pop' sound as the fuel cap releases. If nothing happens when pressed, first check if the key fob is within detection range, then try locking and unlocking the car again. This design is so much more convenient than older cars - no more fumbling for keyholes in the rain!

What are the symptoms of insufficient engine air intake?

The symptom of insufficient engine air intake is more fuel and less air, resulting in insufficient engine power, engine shaking, etc. The following are the reasons for insufficient engine air intake: 1. Air filter clogging: The clogging of the air filter increases the intake resistance and reduces the amount of air entering the cylinder, leading to incomplete fuel combustion and insufficient engine power. 2. Excessive carbon deposits on the throttle: Excessive carbon deposits on the throttle and surrounding intake passages change the cross-sectional area of the air passage, making it impossible for the control unit to precisely control the air intake, which also leads to insufficient air intake, excessively rich or lean mixture, and engine shaking.
