The major maintenance items for the Passat cover multiple aspects and should be performed every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Key components include engine oil and oil filter replacement to ensure proper engine lubrication and prevent oil burning. The air filter must be replaced to protect the engine's intake system from clogging. The fuel filter should also be inspected or replaced, as excessive impurities in gasoline can affect combustion efficiency. If spark plugs are worn out and not replaced, ignition delays may occur, leading to sluggish acceleration—I recommend replacing them directly. Brake fluid replacement every two years is particularly crucial, as it absorbs moisture and increases the risk of brake failure. Transmission fluid must be monitored for automatic transmission models, especially older Passats prone to oil leaks. Don’t forget to check the cooling system—failing to replace coolant can corrode the pipes. Tire rotation and balancing extend tire lifespan, and loose suspension bolts should be tightened. Test the battery voltage, as the Passat’s numerous onboard electronics can drain power quickly. A major maintenance service may cost around 1,000 to 2,000 RMB, but it prevents roadside breakdowns and ensures the car remains reliable for a decade with regular upkeep.

Do car owners need to bear 10% of non-medical insurance drug costs?

Non-medical insurance drugs do not require the car owner to bear 10% of the cost; it is the insurance company's responsibility to compensate. If the insurance company refuses to pay, legal action can be taken by filing a lawsuit in court. The litigation process involves lawyers commissioned by the insurance company or the insurance company's claims professionals participating in court proceedings. If the insurance company does not reimburse the costs of non-medical insurance drugs, valid evidence must be provided to prove that the non-medical insurance drugs were unnecessary or unreasonable during the treatment process. Otherwise, the insurance company should fully cover the compensation for medical expenses. Compensation for traffic accidents includes the victim's medical expenses, hospitalization meal allowances, nursing fees, lost wages, accommodation fees, and property losses. In severe cases, it also includes death compensation and funeral expenses.

Can You Drive with Low Engine Coolant Temperature?

It is possible to drive with low engine coolant temperature, but it can cause several hazards, as outlined below: 1. Gasoline does not vaporize easily, affecting combustion. Additionally, excessive heat dissipation by the coolant reduces engine efficiency and increases fuel consumption. Experiments show that when coolant temperature drops from 85°C to 30°C, engine efficiency decreases by about 8%, fuel consumption rises by 30%-40%, and wear increases approximately sixfold. 2. Some gasoline condenses on the cylinder walls, damaging the lubricating oil film and diluting the oil in the crankcase. Furthermore, some combustion byproducts combine with condensed water in the cylinders to form acidic substances, corroding the cylinders and significantly accelerating engine wear.

Can Insurance Cover Vehicles Submerged in Floods?

If you have purchased waterlogging insurance, the losses caused by heavy rain and flooding will be compensated. If this insurance is not purchased, the insurance company will not provide compensation. Below is detailed information about it: 1. Introduction One: If your vehicle encounters problems, immediately call the insurance company to file a report. It is essential to report the incident within 24 hours. 2. Introduction Two: When the water depth exceeds 20 centimeters, it is advised not to drive through the water. Instead, detour or shift to neutral and push the vehicle out of the flooded area after turning off the engine. 3. Introduction Three: Try to avoid driving during heavy rainstorms. If driving is necessary, thoroughly check the lights, brakes, steering, and other functions before heading out.

What does exceeding the speed limit by 50% mean?

For example, if the speed limit on a road section is 100 kilometers per hour, driving at a speed exceeding 150 kilometers per hour means exceeding the speed limit by 50%. According to traffic regulations, different speed limits are set for various types of vehicles on different roads. Exceeding the speed limit by 50% of the regulated speed on the road being traveled is considered a violation. Below are precautions for driving on highways: 1. Check the vehicle before entering the highway: Inspect the braking system and tire pressure/wear before driving on the highway to avoid inadequate emergency braking. Both underinflated and overinflated tires are unsuitable for high-speed driving and can easily lead to blowouts, which can be fatal at high speeds. Therefore, thorough vehicle inspection is crucial. 2. Wear seat belts: Whether driving on regular roads or highways, seat belts should be worn. Passengers in the rear seats should also wear seat belts during high-speed driving.
