Let me tell you, resetting the maintenance reminder on a Volkswagen isn't difficult. When I bought my Tiguan last year, I encountered this frequently. Here's roughly how to do it: First, completely turn off the engine and remove the key. Then locate the small button on the dashboard, sometimes marked as 0.0 or SET, and press and hold it with your thumb. Next, insert the key and turn it to the ON position (second position without starting the engine). At this point, the warning light on the dashboard will flash or display "reset" in English. When you see this, release the button and wait a few seconds—the reminder will disappear. If it doesn't work the first time, try two or three more times without rushing. But remember, resetting the reminder is just for convenience. Actually going to the shop for oil changes and tire maintenance is what really matters. Don't slack off—keeping your car healthy ensures road safety and prevents costly breakdowns later.

Will the oil in a car evaporate?

Evaporation is minimal as the fuel tank cap is sealed with a rubber gasket, and the fuel lines connected to the engine are also sealed. For gasoline, more details are as follows: Gasoline evaporation: It will not evaporate from the fuel tank, but gasoline left for a long time may deteriorate, potentially producing excessive gum and carbon deposits in the intake system, affecting the engine's normal operation. Gasoline is a highly volatile industrial oil product, but the gasoline added to a car's fuel tank is generally well-sealed and not prone to evaporation. If the fuel tank's sealing is poor, it may evaporate to some extent. During summer when temperatures are higher, it is advisable not to leave the car exposed to direct sunlight, as this can cause minor evaporation and slight damage to the gasoline lines.

Why Does the Car Ignition Burn the Starter Fuse?

If the vehicle fuse is blown, it may indicate an abnormal circuit condition. It is recommended to promptly contact the nearest service station for inspection. The reasons for a car fuse blowing are as follows: 1. Cleaning the engine compartment: When cleaning the engine compartment, avoid directly washing the fuse box with water if it is not properly sealed. This can easily cause a short circuit in the fuse, leading to malfunction of the entire vehicle's electrical components. Most fuse boxes have a prominent "No Water Washing" sign. 2. Replacing headlights: Excessive power can cause the fuse to blow. Immediately replace the fuse with a higher current rating and the power cable to prevent excessive current and overheating. 3. High-power audio systems: These may also cause the fuse to blow. When installing high-power electrical equipment, pay attention to the current level and replace the corresponding fuse immediately. Most reputable modification shops will be aware of this issue.
