The method to remove the dashboard of Volkswagen Lavida: First, adjust the steering wheel backward, then remove the screws from the lower end of the combination switch cover, take off the upper part of the cover, then remove the dashboard guard ring and trim strip, and finally unscrew the screws at the upper end of the dashboard to take it off. The following is an introduction to the car dashboard: The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various systems of the vehicle. Under the faceplate of modern car dashboards, various indicator lights or warning lights are installed, such as coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, airbag (SRS) warning light, etc.

Removing the dashboard of a Volkswagen Lavida requires caution, as it involves the vehicle's electrical system, where a slight mistake could lead to short circuits or damage to the computer module. First, ensure the car is turned off for at least 30 minutes to allow the airbags and wiring to cool down—safety first. Next, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws securing the dashboard cover from below the steering wheel, gently prying open the plastic cover without applying too much force to avoid breaking the clips. Then, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery; I prefer using insulated gloves to prevent static electricity. Locate the connector plugs behind the dashboard, paying attention to color codes and locking mechanisms, and carefully unplug them without pulling on the wires. It's advisable to take step-by-step photos during the process to record the positions, ensuring everything can be reassembled correctly later. Removing the Lavida's dashboard might affect the odometer display, so backing up the data beforehand is recommended just in case. If you're unsure, it's better to seek help from a professional repair shop to avoid unnecessary expenses, given the precision of electronic components.

What is the fuel consumption of a 1.5T engine idling with AC on for one hour?

There is no fixed data standard for the energy consumption of air conditioning. Turning on the AC will increase energy consumption by approximately 20%. A 1.5L displacement vehicle consumes about 2.0 liters of fuel per hour when idling in park. With a 20% increase, this would be around 2.4 liters per hour. Of course, this value may vary depending on the vehicle's condition. Here are some additional details: 1. Definition of idling: Idling refers to the operation of the engine without any load, only overcoming the internal friction resistance of its components, without outputting power externally. The minimum speed required to maintain stable engine operation is called idling speed, which is one of the five basic operating conditions of an engine. 2. Idling while driving: When the car is in gear without pressing the accelerator pedal or when the accelerator pedal is released during driving, maintaining the minimum throttle opening, the engine speed matches the parked idling speed. This state is referred to as driving idling.
