There are several reasons why a transmission may not move when engaged: 1. The car does not move when engaged: This is a comprehensive functional failure involving the clutch, transmission, and drive axle. When diagnosing, the first step is to determine the faulty part, starting by checking the condition of both wheels. The diagnostic sequence generally proceeds from the drive wheels forward through the rear axle to the drive shaft, then to the transmission, and finally to the clutch. 2. The car starts in a certain gear, but the drive shaft does not rotate: If the car starts in a certain gear but the drive shaft does not rotate, it indicates a problem in the transmission. Remove the transmission cover to inspect whether the transmission shift fork is broken or if the guide block fixing screws are loose.

Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Composition of Tires: Tires are typically composed of three parts—the outer tire, inner tube, and bead—though some do not require an inner tube, featuring an inner layer of highly airtight rubber and requiring specialized rims. 2. Usage of Tires: Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance, along with high wear resistance, flexibility, and low rolling resistance and heat generation.

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in a Passat?

Passat engine warning light illumination is primarily caused by severe cylinder carbon buildup or poor combustion conditions, as detailed below. Severe Cylinder Carbon Buildup: After prolonged use, engines inevitably accumulate carbon deposits. These deposits alter the engine's designed parameters and, due to their unstable nature and heat retention properties, can cause uncontrolled ignition within the engine, leading to knocking. This condition triggers the engine warning light. Poor Combustion Conditions: Suboptimal engine combustion is a major reason for the warning light activation. In automotive design, oxygen sensors are installed to monitor combustion efficiency, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity. Poor combustion not only increases environmental pollution but also results in fuel wastage and accelerated engine wear.
