1 Answers
Method to remove the spare tire of Volkswagen Tharu: First, open the tailgate of the trunk, and the spare tire to be used is located under the trunk cover panel; then manually pry out the cover panel, followed by removing the subwoofer connecting pin and setting it aside. Finally, take out the tire removal tools to remove the spare tire. Below are precautions for using the spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long-distance trips, few car owners inspect the spare tire, and some unprofessional repair shops often overlook this. Spare tire inspection mainly involves checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible once the tread wear reaches the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, do not use it for long-distance or high-speed driving, as the sidewall is relatively thin, making it prone to blowouts at high speeds. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is most vulnerable to erosion by various oil products. Car owners often store lubricants and other oil products in the trunk. Once these oils come into contact with the tire, they can cause swelling and corrosion, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. If the tire is contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. After a blowout, some car owners may want to replace it with the spare tire, only to find that the spare tire has severely aged after years of storage and is no longer usable. Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging, typically around 4 years. Therefore, the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.
