The fuel tank of the new Passat is located on the side of the front passenger seat. To open the fuel tank cap, turn off the engine, unlock the car doors, walk to the side of the fuel tank cap, and press it gently to open. The new Passat is a B-segment car under the Volkswagen brand, with body dimensions of 4870mm in length, 1834mm in width, and 1472mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2803mm. In terms of appearance, the new Passat adopts Volkswagen's minimalist style, with exterior design inspired by the Volkswagen Phaeton. The bumper design has been modified, and the shapes of the front and rear light clusters have been updated, incorporating LED taillights and LED daytime running lights.

I've driven several Passat models, including the latest one. Opening the fuel tank cap is super easy: After sitting in the driver's seat, there's a small lever or button on the floor near the door side. Just reach down, feel for it, and give it a gentle pull or press. The fuel tank cap will pop open near the rear wheel. It might feel a bit unfamiliar at first, but it becomes smooth after a few tries. Remember to always turn off the engine before doing this—safety first. Related advice: If the lever gets stuck or doesn't work, don't force it. It might be due to a loose or corroded cable, so check the diagram in the car manual first. Regularly clean dust around the fuel cap before and after refueling to prevent blockages. The Passat's design is quite user-friendly—no tools needed, making daily maintenance convenient and reducing the risk of fuel theft. This is how I've always done it, and I've never had any issues.

How many liters of transmission oil does the Prado 2700 require?

Toyota Prado 2700 generally requires about 4L-6L of transmission oil. Transmission oil usage: Most transmission oils on the market can be used for automatic transmissions. Each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicles may vary in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission oil. Precautions for changing transmission oil: Use a transmission cleaner in conjunction with a transmission oil exchange machine. Before draining the old oil, pour the cleaner into the transmission, suspend the drive wheels, start the engine, and continuously shift gears to allow the cleaner to clean all internal areas. After cleaning, use the exchange machine to drain the old oil while injecting new oil, and finally replace the filter.

Can vehicle transfer be done on weekends?

It is not possible during statutory holidays, but vehicle transfer can be done on Saturday mornings during non-statutory holidays. This is because vehicle inspection is required, and the vehicle management office system is not open on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, making inspection impossible. During statutory holidays, the vehicle management office is closed, and transfer is not permitted. The documents required from the original owner for a used vehicle transfer include: the registration certificate, vehicle license, and ID card, among others. The buyer needs to provide an ID card; if the buyer is from another region, a residence permit or temporary residence certificate is also required. Vehicle transfer first requires a vehicle evaluation. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated vehicle price, and other fees include those for license plates, vehicle license, etc. The original owner's commercial insurance can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions when buying a used car: Incomplete documentation. Complete documentation for a used car includes: the vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), vehicle license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee documentation, and compulsory insurance, among others. Missing documents such as the vehicle registration certificate or vehicle license, or unpaid compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, can cause endless trouble for the buyer. Therefore, if the seller cannot provide complete documentation, the buyer should be especially cautious. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers tend to judge a vehicle's condition based on the odometer reading, and sellers often take advantage of this by tampering with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not just an indicator of usage intensity but also a record of maintenance and replacement of other vehicle components. If the buyer follows maintenance schedules based on a tampered odometer reading, it can lead to a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering 'external injuries.' When purchasing a used car, if the vehicle has been repainted and there are signs of repair around the front, rear, or A, B, and C pillars, the car may have been involved in a major accident. 'Tuning the heart' to raise the price. Many buyers focus too much on the car's 'heart' (engine) and neglect the health of the car's body. Sellers take advantage of this by replacing engine components to make the vehicle's 'heart' appear younger, thereby inflating the price.

Where is the air intake of the Geely Xingyue located?

The air intake of the Geely Xingyue is located in the engine compartment. The black Geely logo is embedded in the front grille, surrounded by a youthful and sporty red ring on the outer layer. The Geely Xingyue has significant advantages in design. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the Xingyue are 4605/1878/1643mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Daytime running lights: They adopt a new arrowhead-inspired design language, which is an important component of the Xingyue's front face styling. The design captures the dynamic posture of an arrow being shot, and this design will also be inherited and innovated in Geely's future new models. Taillight design: Inspired by traditional folding fans, it somewhat resembles the feel of feathers. This design was previously seen on the Borui GE, but in comparison, the Xingyue's "Galaxy Spiral" design is more three-dimensional. Geely officially compares it to the ribbons used in Chinese gymnastics. Interior design: The dashboard features a wing-shaped design that spreads outward from the instrument cluster to both sides. The embedded large-size central control screen slightly tilts toward the driver's seat and connects with the instrument panel through irregular decorative strips, creating a unique connected-screen effect.

Where is the outdoor temperature sensor located on the Skoda Fabia?

The outdoor temperature sensor on the Skoda Fabia is located above the evaporator box. Main function of the outdoor temperature sensor: It provides the ECU with signals for both indoor and outdoor temperatures. The ECU compares these signals to determine the temperature inside the vehicle cabin. Principle of the outdoor temperature sensor: It operates based on the principle of thermistor resistance changes at different temperatures. As the temperature rises or falls, the thermistor's resistance increases or decreases, allowing the ECU to detect voltage variations and obtain outdoor temperature data. Composition of the outdoor temperature sensor: The outdoor temperature sensor in vehicles mainly consists of a connector and a thermistor probe. Nowadays, many are integrated with plastic clips for easier installation. The outdoor sensor is typically installed near the front grille of the vehicle, where good ventilation ensures greater sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor.
