I've changed the Golf's cabin air filter many times. As a DIY enthusiast, it's super convenient and saves money. Start from the passenger side, open the glove compartment and clear out any clutter inside. There are several clips or small screws inside - gently unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver or push the clips to release. After removing the small cover, you'll see the rectangular filter slot. Slowly pull out the old filter, which might be black and full of dust - that's why it needs replacing. When inserting the new filter, make sure to align the arrow marked on it (indicating airflow direction toward the front of the car); installing it backward reduces filtration efficiency. Finally, replace the cover and tighten the screws. The whole process takes 5-10 minutes and requires no special tools. I change it every six months, especially during spring and fall when pollen levels are high - the air becomes much fresher, which is great for allergy sufferers. Doing it yourself also helps learn maintenance knowledge and avoids unnecessary expenses.

What kind of transmission does the Buick Excelle use?

Buick Excelle uses a CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission and a 5-speed manual transmission. The new CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission innovatively adopts a design that combines belt drive with a 2-speed auxiliary box, making it more compact and providing a wider gear ratio range, further improving transmission efficiency. While ensuring a smooth driving experience, it achieves better fuel economy compared to similar CVT transmissions. The CVT transmission belongs to a type of automatic transmission. Common automatic transmissions can be divided into four categories: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), dual-clutch automatic transmission, electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission (AMT), and mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The CVT transmission does not have real gears, so there is no jerking or impact when shifting, and the entire shifting process is very linear; its disadvantage is that it cannot withstand too much torque.

Can a Flooded Car Be Driven?

Flooded cars can only be driven after being repaired. After a car is flooded, many electronic components may be damaged, rendering the vehicle inoperable. Key electronic components include the ECU, TCU, and various sensors—without these, the car cannot function properly. The ECU acts as the engine's brain, collecting various data and processing it to control the engine through actuators. Without the ECU, the engine cannot operate correctly. Similarly, if sensors fail, the ECU cannot gather necessary data, leading to engine malfunction. The TCU is the computer for the automatic transmission, which also collects data and controls gear shifts. Without the TCU, the transmission cannot shift properly, making the car undrivable.
