CV joint, also known as a 'constant velocity joint,' transmits power from the transmission to the wheels. A damaged outer CV joint in a car may cause issues such as the vehicle pulling to one side, accelerated tire wear, damage to the power steering pump, and even the steering wheel locking up, making it impossible to turn. Below is some related knowledge about a damaged CV joint: 1. Symptoms of a CV joint problem: Noise when turning the steering wheel, but no noise when driving straight. 2. Cause: Due to a damaged dust cover causing oil leakage, the steel balls and cage inside the CV joint wear out due to lack of lubrication.

Where is the air filter located in the Volkswagen Golf?

Volkswagen Golf's air filter is located in front of the front passenger seat, covered by a panel. Simply open the panel to access the air filter. The function of the car's air filter is to purify the air entering the cabin from outside by filtering out impurities such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The air filter prevents these substances from entering and damaging the air conditioning system, ensuring a clean air environment for passengers, protecting their health, and preventing window fogging. In terms of body dimensions, the Volkswagen Golf measures 4296mm in length, 1788mm in width, 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2636mm.

What Causes Engine Overheating?

Reasons for engine overheating: 1. Insufficient coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can gradually deplete the coolant in the engine's cooling system, leading to a shortage of water in the radiator. If the owner fails to promptly inspect, detect, and replenish the coolant, this can easily cause engine overheating. 2. Radiator leakage: Broken or improperly connected radiator hoses can cause leaks, obstructing water circulation and, in severe cases, leading to engine "boiling." 3. Cooling fan malfunction: A damaged cooling fan or short-circuited wiring can cause the fan to stop working or operate at a slow speed, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating and naturally raising the engine temperature. 4. Thermostat failure: The thermostat controls the flow path of the coolant. If it becomes stuck or fails, the engine's large and small circulation cycles will be affected, and the engine's heat cannot be effectively dissipated. 5. Water pump failure: If the water pump malfunctions, the water that conducts heat in the engine cannot circulate and renew in time. After the engine starts, the water temperature will rise rapidly, and the water temperature warning light on the dashboard will also illuminate.

What is the difference between single exhaust pipe and dual exhaust pipes?

The differences between single exhaust pipe and dual exhaust pipes: 1. Different displacement: Single exhaust pipe is used for small-displacement vehicles; dual exhaust pipes are used for large-displacement vehicles. 2. Different engine structures: Vehicles with single exhaust pipes usually use four-cylinder engines; vehicles with dual exhaust pipes usually use V-type engines with six or more cylinders. The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly includes the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler. Generally, the three-way catalytic converter for controlling engine pollutant emissions is also installed in the exhaust system. The exhaust pipe usually includes the front exhaust pipe and the rear exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe is a device designed to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the life of the exhaust muffler system. It is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system.
