The steps to turn on the heating in an older Passat model are: start the car, turn on the air conditioning, switch to heating mode, and adjust the air vents once the air starts flowing. The heating system relies on the heat generated by the engine after it starts working. A small fan in the engine compartment blows the heat collected from the engine's cooling system into the car. The exterior changes in the older Passat model are mainly reflected in minor details, such as the omission of chrome trim on the side windows and around the body, the use of regular glass throughout the car, unpainted door handles, and smaller wheel sizes. In terms of interior features, leather seats remain standard, the front seats are manually adjustable, and the central armrest in the rear seats is omitted.

What is the issue when a Mercedes-Benz makes a noise upon shifting gears?

Possible reasons for the noise when shifting gears in a Mercedes-Benz are as follows: 1. Transmission failure: Damage to the transmission housing, or long-term wear and deformation of the transmission housing and bearing seat holes. This type of noise is loudest when shifting into low gears, gradually decreasing as higher gears are engaged, and is minimal in direct drive. 2. Gear failure: Due to the fracture of individual gear surfaces, impact occurs during meshing. When shifting into this gear, strong impact and vibration are generated, causing resonance in the transmission housing. 3. Drivetrain failure: Poor technical condition of the external drivetrain (clutch, drive shaft) of the transmission, leading to impact and vibration during use, which causes transmission resonance and produces resonant noise. This type of noise is often irregular and may occur occasionally within a certain speed range.

What are the effects of not bleeding air from the coolant?

The effects of not bleeding air from the coolant: 1. Excessive air being heated can cause rapid and excessive pressure buildup. Short-distance driving may result in coolant overflow, while long-distance driving could lead to excessive pressure forcing open the reservoir cap and causing spraying. 2. The high temperature of the engine will simultaneously heat the air in the pipes, and the movement of colliding air can disrupt the normal circulation of the antifreeze coolant. Poor cooling performance may cause engine overheating and damage. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when parking in cold winter conditions. Many car owners believe that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze should be used throughout the year.
