New Passat's method to turn off the air conditioning: The AC button is located on the air conditioning panel below the center console screen. Press the AC button to turn off the air conditioning. During the use of the car air conditioning, in the air recirculation mode, fresh air will not enter the car. Prolonged use of the recirculation mode will degrade the air quality inside the car. The New Passat offers four power options: a 96 kW 1.4TSI, a 118 kW 1.8TSI, a 147 kW 2.0TSI, and a 184 kW 3.0V6. The dimensions of the New Passat are 4765 mm in length, 1765 mm in width, 1470 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2803 mm.

Turning off the air conditioning in the new Passat is quite straightforward! On the center console in front of the driver's seat, look for the knob or button with a snowflake icon or AC label—just press it lightly to deactivate the cooling function. If you have an automatic climate control model, you can either turn off the AUTO button or directly tap the power switch on the touchscreen's AC interface. Personally, I prefer turning off the AC during good weather or long drives to save fuel and reduce engine load, especially in traffic jams—the engine runs quieter without it. Also, avoid shutting it off abruptly after prolonged use in a cooled cabin, as it may cause discomfort; gradually lowering the fan speed first is better. By the way, Volkswagen's AC systems are highly reliable, but regular filter cleaning is essential to maintain efficiency—don’t overlook this small detail.

How is the 4A95TD engine?

Here are the detailed specifications of the 4A95TD engine: 1. Mitsubishi's new 1.5T engine, codenamed 4A95TD, delivers a maximum horsepower of 176 HP and a peak torque of 259 N·m. Compared to the 4A91T-1.5T engine, it features additional technologies such as direct fuel injection, centrally positioned electromagnetic intake/exhaust valve timing, integrated exhaust manifold, and variable displacement oil pump. 2. The new 1.5T engine from Aero Mitsubishi adopts the industry's latest 350-bar high-pressure direct injection system. Higher fuel injection pressure improves fuel atomization, accelerates mixture formation, and enhances combustion efficiency, thereby boosting both engine performance and fuel economy. 3. For weight reduction, this engine utilizes an aluminum alloy die-cast cylinder block to replace iron castings, reducing weight by 11 kg compared to Mitsubishi's original model. The intake manifold is made of resin material instead of aluminum, cutting the weight by 50%.

How to Remove the Navigation System in Sylphy?

Use a plastic pry tool to gently lift the edges of the dashboard panel. Once the panel is removed, you will see the screws securing the navigation system. Use a screwdriver to loosen these screws, then remove the navigation unit and disconnect the wiring harness plug to completely detach the navigation system. Additional details are as follows: 1. The Sylphy DVD navigation system is a dedicated navigation device for the Nissan Sylphy, featuring high-quality visuals, support for rearview input, a unique shutdown clock display, built-in Bluetooth games, and compatibility with external CMMB, combining practicality and entertainment. Its highlights include comprehensive compatibility and rich functionality. It supports AUX IN (the panel's integrated AUX port can connect to NBOX or players for playing video movies), iPod (the USB port can connect to Apple and other devices with iPod functionality for music playback), SDHC/USB, and is compatible with various formats such as DVD/VCD/MP3/CD/CD-R/CD-RW. 2. When choosing a navigation system, always opt for products from reputable manufacturers. A high-quality, feature-rich car navigation product requires strong technical and manufacturing capabilities. Reputable manufacturers generally prioritize after-sales service and have a well-established service system. Selecting the right navigation software is crucial, and more importantly, consumers must ensure that the map software can be upgraded when making a purchase.

What Happens If You Add Low-Quality Gasoline?

Cars filled with low-quality gasoline may exhibit the following symptoms: difficulty starting or even failure to start; engine shaking at idle after starting; noticeable body vibration; foul-smelling exhaust gases; noisy valves; poor acceleration and high fuel consumption; gear shifting with impact. The vehicle maintenance plan after adding low-quality gasoline is as follows: 1. If the vehicle can currently drive normally without symptoms, completely drain the remaining fuel in the tank, refill with high-quality gasoline, clean the fuel injectors, clean the combustion chamber, and replace the fuel filter. 2. If the vehicle drives normally but the engine shakes slightly at idle, completely drain the remaining fuel in the tank, refill with high-quality gasoline, clean the throttle body, clean the fuel injectors, clean the combustion chamber, and replace the fuel filter and fuel pump. 3. For vehicles that are difficult to start, fail to start, have engine shaking, poor acceleration, gear shifting impact, or noisy valves, stop driving immediately and request assistance from a 4S shop. Measure cylinder pressure; if the cylinder pressure is normal, disassemble the cylinder head for cleaning, completely drain the remaining fuel in the tank, refill with high-quality gasoline, clean the throttle body, clean the fuel injectors, clean the combustion chamber, and replace the fuel filter and fuel pump.

What kind of engine oil is suitable for the Sagitar engine?

The Volkswagen Sagitar 1.6L 77kW SRE gasoline engine, 1.4L 96kW TSI gasoline engine, and 1.8L 118kW TSI gasoline engine use engine oil that meets the VW50200 specification. Alternatively, 5W30 or 5W40 grade oils are also suitable. Depending on the vehicle's operating conditions, the oil consumption rate may vary for each engine and will change over the engine's lifespan. More details are as follows: 1. Selection of viscosity grade: In general, 5W is sufficient for most regions in winter. However, in some northern areas (such as Harbin), 0W is recommended for better cold-start performance to adapt to the driving environment. For high-temperature viscosity, grades 30 or 40 are typically used. However, if the vehicle frequently operates in congested areas, is older, or is used for long-distance heavy-load transportation, a higher viscosity oil such as 0W50 may be appropriate. 2. Regarding oil brand selection: For long-lasting performance, Mobil oil is a good choice. If engine cleanliness is a priority, Shell oil is recommended. For strong oil film resilience, Castrol is suggested. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon buildup during high-speed operation, so Shell oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be used. 3. Based on driving habits and vehicle conditions, the maximum oil consumption rate for this vehicle should not exceed 1.0L/1000km. New vehicles may experience slightly higher oil consumption during the first 5000km. Therefore, it is essential to regularly check the oil level, preferably when refueling or before long-distance trips. (Before checking the level, warm up the engine to normal operating temperature, then turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. The oil level should be between the MAX and MIN marks.) 4. During long-distance highway driving in summer, towing a trailer, or driving in mountainous areas, the engine operates under harsh conditions. In such cases, the oil level must be maintained at the maximum mark but should never exceed it. Additives in the engine oil may darken its color, which is normal and does not require frequent oil changes.
