It is normal for a Passat's water temperature to reach 100 degrees Celsius for a short period, but maintaining 100 degrees for an extended time is abnormal. The normal water temperature should be between 80-90 degrees Celsius. Most engine-specific antifreeze can withstand a maximum temperature of around 110 degrees. Here is some information about antifreeze: 1. Introduction to Antifreeze: Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion all year round. 2. Functions of Antifreeze: Engines and their cooling systems are made of metals, including copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals, when in contact with water at high temperatures for prolonged periods, can corrode and rust. Antifreeze not only prevents corrosion in the engine cooling system but also offers anti-corrosion and rust-removal functions.

What Causes Car Headlights to Flicker?

Car headlights flickering may be caused by poor contact or abnormal bulb quality. Headlights: The main purpose of headlights is to illuminate the road and objects ahead of the vehicle, ensuring driving safety. The high and low beams can be alternately switched as a signal for overtaking at night. Headlights are installed on both sides of the front of the car, with each vehicle equipped with 2 or 4 units. The bulb power is 45-60W for high beams and 25-55W for low beams. Fog Lights: Fog lights are installed near the headlights or slightly lower than the headlights. In conditions of low visibility such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or dust, fog lights serve to illuminate the road and provide signals to oncoming vehicles. The light is mostly yellow, as yellow light has longer wavelengths and good fog-penetrating performance. The bulb power is generally 35W.
