The steps to replace the oil filter for the Golf 7 are as follows: 1. Remove the plastic film cover on the oil filter; then place the oil filter wrench over the head of the oil filter and rotate it to remove the oil filter. 2. To prevent oil spillage, the filter should be removed with the opening facing upward; install the new oil filter onto the engine by hand, screwing it in initially, and then giving it a final firm hand-tightening to complete the process. Additional information: During engine operation, metal particles, dust, oxidized carbon deposits and gummy deposits formed under high temperatures, water, and other contaminants continuously mix into the lubricating oil. The role of the oil filter is to remove these mechanical impurities and gum, maintaining the cleanliness of the lubricating oil and extending its service life. The oil filter should possess properties such as strong filtration capability, low flow resistance, and a long service life.

What is a car PVC valve?

Automotive PVC valve is a component in the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system of a car engine, consisting of valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring. Below are relevant details about the automotive PVC valve: Composition: The PCV valve is made up of valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring, and is non-disassemblable. Function: It directs gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold via the PCV valve, with a small amount of air entering the intake manifold directly from the air filter through the PCV valve. This prevents throttle icing, incomplete combustion, and emission deterioration. It also prevents exhaust gases from entering the atmosphere and keeps engine oil from deteriorating.

What to Do If Water Gets into the Engine Oil?

If water gets into the engine oil, it is necessary to drain all the oil and replace it with new oil. The main causes of water entering the engine oil are as follows: 1. Damage to the oil cooler causing water to enter the oil: If the pipes of the oil cooler break, external water can seep into the oil cooler, leading to water contamination in the oil. 2. Leakage from the engine water plug causing water to enter the oil: After several years of engine use, corrosion from scale can cause some water plugs to rust through, allowing coolant to enter the oil passages and drain into the oil pan. 3. Damage to the cylinder liner seal causing water to enter the oil: A damaged cylinder liner seal is a major cause of water entering the oil. Therefore, when diagnosing the cause of water in the oil, always check the condition of the cylinder liner seal. 4. Cracks in the cylinder liner leading to water entering the oil: When a heated cylinder liner comes into direct contact with coolant, cracks can form. Once cracks appear, coolant can enter the cylinder directly and seep into the oil pan through the cylinder walls, causing the oil to turn milky. This can result in poor engine combustion, white smoke, and other issues. 5. Damage to the cylinder head gasket causing water to enter the oil: If the cylinder head gasket is damaged and the coolant circulation is fast, water from the coolant passages can flow into the oil passages, contaminating the oil.

How to Solve Incomplete Clutch Disengagement in Motorcycles?

Check if the free travel of the clutch lever is too large, and adjust it if necessary. Inspect the wear condition of the clutch friction plates and whether the adjustment bolts are loose, and replace the friction plates in time. Check the length and elasticity of the clutch springs, and replace them if they do not meet the requirements. For oil-type clutches, check the viscosity of the engine oil inside, and replace it with new oil if the viscosity is too high.
