The Volkswagen Santana wiper blades are sized at 24+16 inches and use a U-shaped interface. There is no fixed replacement cycle, but they should be promptly repaired or replaced if there is abnormal noise or poor wiping performance. The steps to replace the Volkswagen Santana wiper blades are as follows: 1. After turning off the vehicle, do not remove the key. Within 3 seconds, pull the wiper control lever inward, and the wipers will stop in the maintenance position. 2. Push the wiper blade in the direction of the front of the vehicle until it locks into a specific position. Press the button on the wiper blade downward while shaking and pulling the blade upward to successfully remove the old rubber strip. 3. Release the two securing clips and remove the original rubber strip. (When removing the middle connecting device and the clips on both sides, be mindful of the force applied—the plastic ends on both sides should not be detached.) 4. Once the new rubber strip is successfully installed, follow the reverse order of the disassembly steps to reinstall the wiper blade.

I am a Volkswagen Santana owner and use this car for daily commuting. The wiper blade size is usually 18 inches (450mm) for the driver's side and 16 inches (400mm) for the passenger side, with most having a hook-type connector for easy installation and removal. When I bought the car, I checked the manual—the older Santana Classic was like this, but note that production year differences may cause slight variations. It's best to check the VIN or input your model online for accurate dimensions. Replacing wiper blades is simple: park and turn off the engine, lift the wiper arm to release the hook, and then attach the new blade. Using the wrong size can lead to poor wiping performance and damage to the wiper arm, compromising safety during rainy night driving. Regularly checking wiper wear helps avoid issues, and replacing them before the summer rainy season ensures peace of mind.

What to Do When Car Windows Keep Fogging Up?

Solutions for foggy car windows: For manual air conditioning, you can turn on the front window defogging mode, set the fan speed to maximum, turn on the AC switch, and then adjust the temperature to the lowest. The fog on the windows will disappear shortly. Some car models are equipped with rear window electric heating and external rearview mirror heating. Simply press the relevant buttons, and the fog will be cleared in about a minute. For automatic air conditioning, usually just press the one-touch defrost button, and the air volume will automatically adjust to maximum while turning on the external circulation. Using the air conditioner to defog is a simple and quick method, but it is mainly used when fogging occurs while driving. If you want to prevent fogging in advance, it is recommended to use an anti-fog spray for better results.

What to Do When the Sidewall of a Tire Is Leaking?

Tire sidewall leakage is recommended to be replaced promptly, as the sidewall of a tire is relatively weak. If the sidewall is scratched, it is almost impossible to repair, and continued use poses a risk of a blowout, creating a safety hazard. Generally, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers in mileage. Regularly rotating tires can ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle. It is advisable to rotate the tires every 5,000 kilometers, and perform a four-wheel alignment every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers to avoid abnormal or excessive tire wear. It is not permissible to install tires of different models or with significant differences in wear on the same axle.

What should be noted when towing an automatic transmission vehicle?

When towing an automatic transmission vehicle, the following points should be noted: 1. If the vehicle being towed is an automatic transmission, it is recommended to place it in N (Neutral) gear under any circumstances. When in N gear, there is no rigid connection between the input and output shafts of the transmission. During towing, the gears inside the transmission only rotate freely without transferring power to the engine. 2. If the drive wheels are lifted off the ground, theoretically any gear can be engaged, as only the non-drive wheels remain in contact with the ground. 3. Never allow the drive wheels to touch the ground when the gear is in P (Park). The P gear has a locking mechanism that secures the output shaft gear of the transmission, preventing the drive wheels from rotating. Forced towing in this state can wear out the locking gear and may severely damage the P gear locking mechanism. 4. For keyless start vehicles, press the start button to unlock the steering wheel before towing. 5. If you are driving an automatic transmission vehicle to tow another vehicle, simply pay attention to the speed, which is recommended to be around 30 kilometers per hour.

What to do if the ETC is removed?

If the ETC is removed, you should apply for a new card. The replacement process includes: 1. Bring the original ID card and a copy to the bank branch, fill out an ETC business application form, and apply for the ETC function suspension, which will take effect within 24 hours from the time of acceptance; 2. After receiving the new card, go to the designated bank branch to activate the ETC function. ETC, which stands for Electronic Toll Collection in Chinese, uses computer networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, so that vehicles can pay tolls without stopping when passing through road and bridge toll stations. It is commonly used on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and some sections of the city center to alleviate urban traffic congestion.

How to Check if the Throttle Body is Faulty?

Methods to check if the throttle body is faulty: 1. Visual inspection: Check if the electronic throttle pedal is functioning properly and if the throttle position sensor wiring harness is properly connected; 2. Check power supply and grounding: Use a multimeter to check for open circuits or abnormal voltage drops; 3. Measure the voltage of the throttle position sensor at different openings: When the throttle is fully open, the voltage should be around 5V, and when closed (idle), it should be around 0.5V. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. Its function is to control the flow of air into the engine, where it mixes with fuel to form a combustible mixture, providing power to the engine.
