Steps to remove the backrest of the Passat are as follows: 1. There are three fixing screws at the bottom of the backrest, located near both sides and the middle. 2. Use tools to remove the locking screws, being careful not to remove the safety wire screws. After removing the screws, pull the backrest upward with force. Below is additional information: 1.

I just removed the rear seat of my Passat and found it quite simple. It usually consists of two parts: the seat cushion and the backrest. For the seat cushion, crouch behind the rear seat, locate the small hook in the center at the front, grab it with your hand, and lift it upward slightly—the cushion will loosen, and you can gently remove it. The backrest is even easier. There’s a switch or pull ring at the bottom rear of the backrest; just flip or pull it to release the backrest. Be careful not to yank forcefully during the process to avoid damaging the plastic parts. After removal, cleaning dust from the carpet is very convenient. I also regularly check if the clips are aging, as periodic maintenance can extend the seat’s lifespan. Remember to park on level ground when doing this to prevent accidental sliding. With a few more practices, you’ll get the hang of it.

Removing the Passat rear seats is actually quite straightforward! The front edge of the seat cushion hides the release mechanism—just bend down to locate the small lever or hook underneath, then gently pull backward or lift upward to pop the cushion free. For the backrest, press the button in the seat gap to fold it down. Some model years might require a bit of finesse—avoid excessive force to prevent damaging components. After removal, I always take the chance to inspect seat belts and wiring harnesses for any issues. Reinstallation is as simple as aligning and snapping the parts back into place, almost like assembling building blocks.

What to Do If the Car Exceeds the First Maintenance Period?

The solution for a car exceeding the first maintenance period is: if it's overdue by about a month, the first maintenance can generally still be performed. The 4S dealership and manufacturer usually have a grace period for overdue first maintenance in terms of both time and mileage. The first maintenance is determined by two indicators: mileage and time, whichever comes first. It's not necessary to meet both conditions; exceeding either one can affect the first maintenance. The purposes of the first maintenance are: 1. To ensure the vehicle is in good performance condition; 2. To effectively improve the vehicle's efficiency and reduce wear on parts and tires; 3. To enhance driving safety; 4. To prevent vehicle malfunctions; 5. To reduce noise and environmental pollution; 6. To maintain the vehicle's appearance and prevent damage.

How Thick Are Brake Pads?

Brake pads are approximately 1.5cm thick. As they wear down from friction during use, their thickness gradually decreases. Each brake pad has a raised indicator on both sides, which is about 2-3mm thick—this is the replacement limit for brake discs. The working principle of brake pads is to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby bringing the vehicle to a stop. Brake maintenance methods include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the braking system and avoid brake pads seizing due to overheating; 2. Clean oil stains from brake discs and drum components to ensure proper heat dissipation; 3. Replace brake fluid regularly; 4. Periodically check the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes.
