Passat rear seat removal steps are as follows: 1. First, lift the front part of the rear seat slightly. 2. Then push it backward until you hear a click sound. 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. The Passat interior maintains the Volkswagen style, with the air vents adopting a through-type design. The panoramic sunroof is the same as that on the Phideon, and the 8-way electrically adjustable perforated leather seats come with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. 2. In terms of assistance systems, it is equipped with adaptive headlights, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping system, emergency rear braking, preventive occupant protection system, AEB brake assist, panoramic imaging, and MKE intelligent fatigue monitoring system.

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.

Can a car still be driven after 12 years?

A car that has been used for 12 years can theoretically continue to be used as long as it is not damaged. New regulations implemented: Since May 1, 2013, the new regulations for phasing out and scrapping old vehicles have been implemented, with the scrapping age limit for private cars abolished and a mandatory scrapping at a maximum mileage of 600,000 kilometers. The regulations state that small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles have no usage age limit. The new regulations for the scrapping age of household cars, as officially issued by the Ministry of Commerce in the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," abolish the mileage age limit for non-operational cars and set the mileage limit for private car scrapping at 600,000 kilometers. Strict regulations: This method of abolishing the age limit and instead using mileage as the standard greatly improves the utilization rate of cars. Calculating based on a normal annual usage of 20,000 kilometers, the usage period of private cars is almost doubled. Although the age limit is abolished, it does not mean that any vehicle can truly reach 600,000 kilometers. The new policy has imposed stricter regulations on vehicle usage standards.

What is the reason for the car fan not rotating at low speed but rotating at high speed?

Car fan not rotating at low speed but rotating at high speed may be due to a damaged thermostat, abnormal circulation of the vehicle's cooling system, causing the temperature control switch to malfunction, which can also lead to this situation. The last possible cause is a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor. Below are additional details: Principle: When the coolant temperature is below 70 degrees, the thermostat remains closed. At this point, the engine's cooling system only has a small circulation loop, without a large circulation loop. This means the water from the engine's outlet pipe passes through a small bypass pipe directly into the cylinder head for internal circulation. Specific reasons: At this stage, the coolant does not pass through the radiator. As the temperature continues to rise to nearly 80 degrees, the thermostat gradually opens until it is fully open. Then, the engine's coolant flows through the main outlet pipe to the radiator before entering the cylinder head for large circulation. If the engine temperature continues to rise, the temperature-sensitive switch installed on the thermostat cover or radiator will activate the fan's low-speed switch, causing the fan to rotate at low speed and draw air from front to back for cooling.

Is it okay to shift gears without pressing the clutch?

Shifting gears without pressing the clutch can have negative effects on the car. Failure to fully depress the clutch can result in difficulty engaging gears and gear grinding. The more frequently this occurs, the more severe the gear wear becomes. Over time, it may lead to the inability to engage gears or gears slipping out of place easily. Correct clutch usage methods: 1. Proper clutch pedal posture. When pressing the clutch pedal, use the ball of your foot on the pedal with your heel touching the ground. When the clutch is fully depressed, keep your knees slightly bent. 2. Depress the clutch pedal fully. Avoid keeping the clutch engaged for prolonged periods to ensure complete separation and prevent wear. 3. Control the timing of clutch release. When driving, do not release the clutch too quickly or deliberately raise the engine RPM too high, as this accelerates clutch wear. 4. Fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting gears. 5. When pressing the clutch pedal, quickly release the accelerator pedal. 6. Coordinate clutch operation with gear shifting. If the gear does not engage smoothly, release the clutch first, then press it again before shifting. Never force a gear shift, as this can cause gear friction and damage the transmission. 7. Avoid resting your left foot on the clutch pedal while driving. 8. Never use your right foot to press the clutch pedal under any circumstances while driving.

If the party involved has no objection to the facts of the traffic violation, they can choose to handle the matter not only at the location where the violation occurred but also at any other local public security traffic management department outside the violation location. Below is additional information: Legal Basis: Article 4 of the "Procedural Regulations for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations" stipulates that violations discovered by traffic police during duty enforcement shall be under the jurisdiction of the traffic management department of the public security organ at the location where the violation occurred. In case of disputes over jurisdiction, the matter shall be reported to the common higher-level traffic management department of the public security organ for designation of jurisdiction. The higher-level traffic management department of the public security organ shall promptly determine the jurisdictional authority and notify all disputing parties. Relevant Regulations: Violations recorded by traffic technical monitoring data may be under the jurisdiction of the traffic management department of the public security organ at the location where the violation occurred, where it was discovered, or where the motor vehicle is registered.

Should water be added when filling the car with windshield washer fluid?

Water should be added when filling the car with windshield washer fluid. After dilution, the windshield washer fluid can be directly poured into the vehicle's windshield washer reservoir for immediate use. Automotive windshield washer fluid is widely used for quick cleaning and brightening of various glass surfaces, including car windshields, rearview mirrors, as well as household glass, office glass, door and window glass, and decorative glass. It offers comprehensive performance, is easy to use, and can even be homemade. Below are some related details about windshield washer fluid: 1. Windshield washer fluid is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Due to the commonality of its production process and materials, there are some inferior products on the market. When purchasing, shake the bottle vigorously a few times; the more foam there is, the more surfactants it contains. Moreover, the finer the foam, the more environmentally friendly the anionic surfactants are. If the foam is overly expansive, the environmental friendliness is poorer. 2. The thicker the windshield washer fluid, the more active ingredients it contains. Generally, you can turn the bottle upside down to observe the speed of the bubbles rising inside; slower speed indicates higher viscosity. High-quality windshield washer fluid usually has no odor, while inferior products may have a strong chemical smell, and an unpleasant odor may develop if stored for too long. You can smell it when purchasing.
