Most Golf models use Dunlop tires. Additional information about the Volkswagen Golf is as follows: 1. The Volkswagen Golf is a best-selling model under the Volkswagen brand, introduced in 1974 as a classic hatchback/small family car. It has seen six generations globally, making it the most produced and best-selling model for Volkswagen, ranking third among the world's best-selling cars. By 2007, total production had exceeded 25 million units. 2. The Golf is equipped with Volkswagen's most advanced 1.4TSI engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering strong performance, which is a major reason for its popularity among consumers.

My Golf has been running for almost five years, and the original tires were Continental PremiumContact, which have proven to be quite durable. Actually, Volkswagen doesn’t stick to a fixed tire brand for the Golf—different model years and versions like the GTI or standard editions might come with Michelin, Bridgestone, or Goodyear, all of which are common choices. When new cars arrive at dealerships, the tires are carefully selected by the manufacturer to balance cost and performance. For example, Michelin offers quiet rides ideal for city driving, while Bridgestone provides strong grip for stable highway performance. I recommend owners regularly check tire pressure and tread depth—don’t just focus on the brand. Also, consider seasonal changes like switching to winter or summer tires, which can save fuel and enhance safety. I always pay attention to these details during maintenance and replace aging tires promptly to avoid issues down the road.

How to Use the Santana Windshield Wipers?

The Santana wiper switch is located on the lever behind the right side of the steering wheel. Pushing it upward activates the wipers for one sweep, while pushing it downward offers three speed settings: slow, medium, and fast. Pulling the lever toward the driver first sprays washer fluid and then activates a single wipe. When the wiper lever is set to the automatic intermittent mode, the wipers adjust their sweeping frequency based on the vehicle speed. The Santana has body dimensions of 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm. In terms of power, the 2019 Santana is equipped with an EA211 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The National VI version of the engine delivers a maximum power of 82 kW and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

What Causes Brake Noise?

Reasons for brake noise: If it's a new car, since both the brake pads and brake discs are new and still in the break-in period, they may produce a slight hissing sound. This is normal and usually disappears on its own after a few hundred kilometers. Foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs, such as sand or small stones entering the gap due to strong winds, can also cause a hissing sound. A vibrating or humming noise when braking in reverse is generally due to changes in the friction pattern. Normally, braking occurs while moving forward, so reversing can cause misalignment in the friction pattern, leading to noise. This typically occurs at low speeds and is usually absent at high speeds. It is also normal and can be resolved after a few more friction cycles. In winter, prolonged exposure to cold can cause ice to form at the contact points between the brake pads and brake discs. A slight noise may occur when starting the car as the ice melts, which is also a normal phenomenon.

How to open the fuel filler cap on the old Highlander?

The method to open the fuel filler cap on the old Highlander: Below the driver's seat on the left side of the Highlander, within reach of the left hand, there are generally two buttons. One is responsible for opening the trunk, with a pattern showing the side of a car with the trunk open; the other is responsible for opening the fuel filler cap, with a pattern of a fuel pump. The fuel filler cap is located on the rear side of the rear door, either on the left or right. After pressing the fuel filler cap button, the cap will open. Regardless of the version or color, the fuel tank opening method for this car is the same. Some other models under this brand also use this method to open the fuel filler cap. The body dimensions of the old Highlander are 4890mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2790mm.

How Many Liters of Brake Fluid Should Be Replaced at One Time?

Generally, only 1L of brake fluid is needed for a replacement. It is essential to use brake fluid of the same grade as the original. The brake fluid grade is indicated on the brake fluid cap. For example, if the original fluid is DOT4, only DOT4 should be used. When replacing brake fluid, pay attention to the replacement interval, which varies depending on the climate. Additionally, the choice of brake fluid is crucial—always use the same grade, and avoid mixing different brands. Brake fluid is the liquid used in hydraulic brake systems. It must be chemically inert, resistant to high temperatures, and must not corrode, soften, or expand metal and rubber components. Common grades include DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5.

What does ECON mean on a car?

ECON is the switch for the car's fuel-saving mode, which can be turned on or off with this button. Modern cars generally offer three driving modes to choose from: fuel-saving mode, comfort mode, and sport mode. Below is information about these three modes: Fuel-saving mode: When the car is in this mode, fuel consumption is relatively low. The throttle pedal sensitivity decreases, and the transmission shifts up more aggressively. Comfort mode: This mode can be considered a standard operating mode for the car. In this mode, the throttle pedal response is more sensitive than in fuel-saving mode. Sport mode: This mode can be used for aggressive driving. When sport mode is activated, the throttle pedal response becomes very sensitive, and the transmission delays shifting. The transmission only upshifts when the engine speed reaches the redline. After switching to sport mode, the engine speed is maintained at around 3,000 RPM, ensuring better power response during acceleration. When the car enters ECON mode, it achieves reduced fuel consumption and energy savings, but the car's power output is weakened. ECON can be understood as an abbreviation for "economy." In most cases, it is recommended to keep ECON mode on. Only when high torque output is required (such as when climbing a slope) or when driving at very high speeds should ECON mode be turned off. Pressing the ECON button activates the low-carbon, eco-friendly driving mode. Subsequently, the ECU, engine, and transmission intelligently execute the driver's intentions in the most fuel-efficient manner, achieving optimal fuel economy through rapid upshifts and smooth acceleration. The air conditioning system also operates in an energy-saving state. When the driver presses the throttle pedal deeply, the ECON system effectively controls the opening and closing of the intake valves to ensure smooth engine operation and energy savings. Although the ECO mode is simple and effective to operate, it may not function under certain conditions: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, priority is given to speed, and the fuel-saving mode automatically deactivates. This means that if the speed exceeds the economical range (typically between 60-90 km/h), the ECO mode will not save fuel. The key to the ECO mode is its independent operation by the car's computer during driving. Therefore, it does not function during idle parking or when the car is in N, P, or manual mode. When overcoming significant resistance and requiring high torque output, such as when climbing a slope, the ECU prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the car, and the ECO mode will not work in such cases.
