G500 and G350 appearance differences lie in the smoothness of their lines. Below are the specific differences between the Mercedes-Benz G350 and Mercedes-Benz G500: Engine: The G500 is equipped with a gasoline-powered 8-cylinder engine; the G350 has a diesel-powered 6-cylinder engine. Fuel consumption: The G350 has the advantage of consuming only half the fuel of the G500, is less picky about fuel quality, and has lower fuel requirements. Torque: The G350 has greater torque than the G500, providing stronger instant burst power, better climbing ability, and superior off-road performance compared to the gasoline version. Cold resistance: The Mercedes-Benz G350 is slightly noisier than the G500 and has inferior cold resistance compared to the G500.

As a frequent driver of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, I find the G350 and G500 almost identical in size: both are approximately 4.87 meters in length, about 1.93 meters in width, nearly 2 meters in height, and share the same 2.89-meter wheelbase, with the overall boxy appearance unchanged. However, the exterior differences are quite noticeable. The G500 comes with larger wheels, typically 20 or 21-inch AMG-style sport rims, giving it a more commanding presence, while the G350 has smaller wheels, often 18 inches, lacking that sporty feel. In terms of the front fascia, the G500 features a more aggressive double-slat grille design, complemented by V8 badges on the sides and quad exhaust pipes at the rear, making it instantly recognizable. The G350, on the other hand, is more understated, with a simpler grille and possibly dual single-exit exhaust pipes, appearing more low-key. From a practical standpoint, there’s no difference in size when parking or off-roading, but visually, these details make the G500 stand out more.

I've owned several cars and compared the Mercedes-Benz G350 and G500. Starting with dimensions: both vehicles share identical length, width, and height – approximately 4.9 meters long, 1.95 meters wide, and 1.98 meters tall. There's no noticeable difference when driving. Externally, the G500 always features larger wheels, with some models sporting 21-inch blackened rims, while the G350 typically comes with standard 18-inch wheels and thinner tires. Additionally, the G500 often includes AMG body kits and chrome accents, with sport badges on the sides and quad exhaust pipes. The G350 presents a more minimalist design with fewer decorative elements. These differences make the G500 more flamboyant on the road, but identical dimensions mean identical garage space requirements – first-time buyers shouldn't be intimidated by this.

Why is the Passat's air conditioning so noisy?

There are several reasons why the Passat's air conditioning is very noisy: Faulty compressor electromagnetic clutch: Since the compressor often operates under high load and changes speed from low to high, the requirements for the electromagnetic clutch are very high. The installation position of the electromagnetic clutch is mostly close to the ground and often comes into contact with rainwater and mud. When the bearing inside the electromagnetic clutch is damaged, it will cause noise. Improper tension of the compressor drive belt: If the compressor drive belt is too tight or too loose, it will affect the lifespan of the electromagnetic clutch. If the drive belt is too loose, the electromagnetic clutch is prone to slipping. If the drive belt is too tight, the load on the electromagnetic clutch will increase.

How to Maintain the Air Conditioning Filter?

The maintenance methods for the air conditioning filter are: clean the air conditioning filter promptly and replace it regularly. The filter is prone to accumulating dust, which can be removed by blowing compressed air or water gun to eliminate loose dust. If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side, keeping a distance of 5cm from the filter and applying 500kPa pressure for about 2 minutes. Functions of the air conditioning filter: 1. Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air; 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and lasting moisture absorption capability.
