If the Jetta's fan only starts when the water temperature reaches 110 degrees Celsius, it may be due to the temperature not meeting the requirement for low-speed fan operation or a faulty temperature switch. Below is a brief introduction about Jetta: 1. Company Profile: Jetta is an automobile brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. Its first product, the Jetta (Jetta-MK1), was launched in Europe in 1979. 2. Company Development: On December 5, 1991, the first domestically produced Jetta A2 rolled off the assembly line at FAW-Volkswagen's car plant. This model was an upgraded version based on the second-generation German Jetta A2 from 1983. Since then, over nearly 26 years, Jetta has continuously broken new ground in the Chinese market, with cumulative sales exceeding 3.6 million units by 2016. It has earned accolades such as "Road Masterpiece," "Miracle Car," and "China's No.1 Family Car Brand."

I've been driving my Jetta for several years, and it was really scary when the fan only kicked in at 110 degrees. The main issue might be a stuck thermostat due to aging—it only opens at higher temperatures to activate the fan. Alternatively, the coolant temperature sensor could be faulty, sending incorrect readings and delaying the fan's startup. Don't underestimate this problem: delayed fan activation can cause engine overheating, accelerate component wear, or even lead to a blown head gasket, increasing fuel consumption and repair costs. On my old car, I tried checking it myself: first, I checked if the coolant level was adequate or if air bubbles were blocking the sensor, then tested the fuses. Don't slack on regular maintenance—inspecting the cooling system every 10,000 kilometers can save a lot of hassle. If you need repairs, go to a reliable shop; Jetta parts are relatively easy to fix. Safety first—a fan not activating on time can be dangerous on long trips, so addressing it early is key.

How to Solve the Problem of Automatic Transmission Passat Rolling Back on a Slope?

When there are no vehicles in front or behind, you can press the accelerator harder when releasing the brake to start. You can press the brake with your left foot and the accelerator with your right foot, slowly increasing the throttle, and then release the brake to start after moving forward. If the handbrake cannot hold the car, you need to place objects behind the rear wheels to help secure the vehicle and prevent it from rolling back.

Is It Necessary to Clean Carbon Deposits in Cars?

It is necessary to clean carbon deposits in cars because there is currently no complete method to prevent their formation. If not cleaned regularly, carbon deposits will accumulate endlessly, leading to minor issues such as engine shaking and reduced power, or more severe problems like engine cylinder scuffing, seizure, or even knocking. Engine carbon deposits are a coking-like substance formed from unsaturated olefins and gums in fuel under high temperatures. The engine is the device that provides power to the car, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems.

Where to Apply Car Window Film?

Car window film needs to be applied to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of the vehicle. It is recommended to apply the film on the interior side of the car glass. Applying it on the interior side avoids exposure to wind and rain, minimizing external interference during use. If applied on the exterior side, the film may get damaged by windshield wipers or soaked by rainwater, causing bubbles. Car window film involves applying a thin layer of material, also known as solar film or heat-insulating film, to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of the vehicle. After applying car window film, it is important to note: Do not wash the car for three days. Avoid rolling down the windows within three days to prevent displacement of the film. During this period, you can clean the film surface with a wet towel, sponge, or soft cloth. If the vehicle has a sunroof, avoid opening it for three days. The main functions of car window film include: Heat insulation and cooling. The film can reduce the intensity of sunlight, providing heat insulation and keeping the cabin cool. High-quality car window films can achieve an insulation rate of 50% to 70%, effectively reducing the load on the car's air conditioning system and saving fuel. Preventing shattering. In the event of an accident, shatterproof car window film can prevent glass from breaking and scattering, reducing the risk of injury from glass fragments to the driver and passengers, thereby enhancing vehicle safety. Skin protection. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can harm the skin and cause skin diseases. High-quality car window films have UV-blocking properties, effectively shielding against UV rays and protecting the skin. Interior protection. Infrared rays from sunlight can heat up interior components such as seat cushions and dashboards. Prolonged exposure to infrared rays can cause interior materials to age and fade. Window films can protect the interior from such damage. Color enhancement. Colorful window films can change the monotone appearance of car windows, adding aesthetic appeal to the vehicle. One-way visibility. One-way visibility films can block outside views, enhancing privacy for the vehicle's occupants. Anti-glare properties. High-quality anti-glare films can filter out certain glare and reduce the intensity of visible light, making it more comfortable for the eyes. This helps improve the driver's visibility and ensures safer driving. It is recommended to avoid films with too low light transmittance. For side windows, especially the front ones, films with a light transmittance of over 85% are more suitable. Such films do not require cutouts and do not obstruct vision. At night, they can also reduce the reflection of strong glare from headlights in the rearview mirror, making driving more comfortable. Additionally, they ensure good visibility during rainy nights, reversing, and turning.
