How to Open the Hood of a Golf?
2 Answers
The method to open the hood of a Golf: The hood release handle is located in the driver's side footwell. Pull the handle to open the hood. If the hood is deformed due to external force and cannot be opened, it needs to be sent to a repair shop for maintenance. The Golf is a compact hatchback under the Volkswagen brand. The dimensions of this car are 4296 mm in length, 1788 mm in width, and 1471 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2636 mm. In terms of power, the Golf is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 200 Nm. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. Both engines feature direct fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks.
I always change the windshield washer fluid myself, and the hood switch on the Golf is particularly easy to find. First, sit in the driver's seat, and there's a black handle near your left foot—pull it downward until you hear a click, which means the mechanism is released. Then, go to the front of the car, feel along the seam above the emblem with your hand, and you'll find a small latch where you can slide your fingers in. Gently push it upward to lift the hood. Remember not to use excessive force—once the hood is halfway open, use the support rod to hold it in place. The rod is located underneath the hood. Opening the hood is mainly for checking various fluids—don't wait until the dashboard warning light comes on to take action.
