Volkswagen Santana has power but won't start for the following reasons: Electrical or electronic failure: The occurrence is very sudden, without any warning. Electrical failures include: blown fuse, open circuit in the high-voltage coil, open circuit in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wire, leaking distributor rotor, damaged spark plug. Electronic failure mainly refers to the loss of function of the central computer control board. Fuel system failure: Stalling caused by fuel system failure often has symptoms such as weak engine power and the accelerator pedal feeling like stepping on cotton. Possible locations of fuel system failure include: malfunctioning fuel pump, blocked fuel line, clogged fuel filter, failed carburetor, damaged injector, etc. Sometimes, the fuel tank may be empty without the owner's knowledge. Adding a few liters of gasoline can solve all the problems.

How to Deal with a Broken Headlight Cover?

The solution for a broken headlight cover is to go to a repair shop or a 4S store for replacement. The maintenance methods for headlights are: 1. Check the sealing of the headlights. If moisture enters the headlight, it will reduce the lifespan of the bulb. If you find that the sealing ring between the lens and the reflector is damaged, replace it in time; 2. Clean the bulb. Use alcohol-soaked cotton to wipe off dust and dirt on the bulb. After cleaning, let it dry and avoid touching the bulb with hands or cloth; 3. Clean the reflector.
