Why can't the light in the back seat of the Golf be turned off?

The light in the back seat of the Golf cannot be turned off due to several reasons. First, there is an interlock relationship between the front and rear lights. Second, the dome light has a delayed shutdown feature, meaning it takes a moment to respond after an action is taken. Below are the reasons why the rear seat light in the Golf may not turn off: 1. It could be caused by a faulty switch or wiring issues. If the light does not turn off when set to OFF, it indicates a malfunction in the car's rear interior light, possibly due to a damaged switch or wiring problems, requiring inspection and repair at a 4S shop. 2. The rear light might be set to DOOR mode. When lighting is needed in the car, it can be switched to ON mode as needed, and back to DOOR mode when not in use. However, in DOOR mode, it takes about 30 seconds for the light to turn off after the door is closed.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Stall at High Temperature Idle?

Motorcycle stalling at high temperature idle is due to a fuel system malfunction. Fuel system malfunction: Check if the fuel in the tank is exhausted. If there is sufficient fuel, check whether the fuel switch is turned on. If equipped with a fuel pump, check whether the fuel pump is working properly. Then, disconnect the fuel line to check if there is fuel supply. Unscrew the carburetor drain screw to see if fuel flows out. If no fuel overflows, it indicates that the carburetor fuel passage is blocked and needs to be cleared. Simple troubleshooting method: First, turn the switch to the off position, then remove the fuel line connected to the tank switch. Blow hard into the fuel line with your mouth (or use a pump to blow air). The compressed air impact may clear the blocked fuel passage in the carburetor. If the fuel passage remains blocked, it indicates severe blockage, and the carburetor should be removed for thorough cleaning.

What to Do When the Clutch Plate is Burnt?

The solution for a burnt car clutch plate is to replace it with a new one. The reasons for the clutch plate burning are as follows: 1. Improper operation by the driver, such as half-engaging the clutch, causing continuous friction between the clutch plate and the pressure plate or flywheel, leading to high temperatures. 2. The driver abruptly releasing the clutch pedal during operation, causing the clutch plate to break down and damage the surface of the pressure plate. 3. The clutch plate has been used for too long or has exceeded the recommended mileage, leading to natural aging and wear. 4. The clutch plate material is substandard, resulting in premature damage. 5. The working principle of the clutch plate is: it transmits power through axial compression and release. The greater the axial pressure, the greater the friction generated, ensuring smoother and more stable operation of the extruder without slipping, jamming, or self-detaching.

How much charge can idling for half an hour provide to the battery?

Idling for half an hour can charge the battery by about twenty percent. Automatic battery charging: Whether the car is in motion or idling, the battery will automatically charge. The engine directly drives the generator via a belt, so once the engine starts, the electricity generated by the alternator undergoes rectification and voltage regulation before directly charging the car battery. However, if the battery is severely depleted to the point where it cannot start the engine, a jump-start may be required. Precautions for idling charging: Avoid using other power-consuming devices during idling charging. When the car battery is low and being charged by idling, although the current is low, it is sufficient. But if high-power devices like air conditioning, high beams, or car audio systems are used during charging, they may exceed the alternator's maximum output power. This could overdraw the already low battery, leading to permanent damage.

Should I Go to a 4S Shop for an Oil Change?

For oil changes, if the car is under warranty, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop; otherwise, the 4S shop will not provide warranty coverage for any issues that arise. If the car is not under warranty, you can go to a repair shop or change the oil yourself. In other words, it is not mandatory to go to a 4S shop for an oil change. The methods and precautions for changing the oil are as follows: Methods for changing the oil: First, use a jack to lift the vehicle, then unscrew the oil drain bolt to drain the oil, replace the oil filter and gasket, and finally, add the appropriate new oil to the engine in the engine compartment. Precautions for changing the oil: The choice of oil should be based on the engine's requirements. There is no need to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements.

Does a temporary license plate have to be processed by the owner?

Temporary license plates do not necessarily have to be processed by the owner; they can be handled by a proxy. When applying for a temporary license plate for a vehicle, the relevant requirements must be followed, including filling out the temporary vehicle registration form. Required documents include the identity proofs of both the vehicle owner and the proxy, the vehicle's factory certificate, the import certificate for imported vehicles, as well as the vehicle's chassis number and engine number. Having all the materials prepared in advance will make the process smoother and prevent delays in normal driving. Conditions for applying for a temporary license plate: 1. If purchasing a vehicle in another region and needing to drive it back to the local area, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the vehicle management office in the purchase location. For cross-province vehicle purchases, a temporary license plate with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders must be applied for. 2. When transferring vehicle registration, if the official license plate has already been surrendered, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office.
