The abnormal noise when a Volkswagen turns is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. Excessive gear clearance in the Volkswagen's steering gear. In this case, the steering gear needs to be replaced. 2. The abnormal noise comes from the shock absorber's plane bearing. Applying some grease to the plane bearing can help. If the noise persists after greasing, the shock absorber's plane bearing must be replaced. 3. The abnormal noise is from the Volkswagen's stabilizer bar, caused by loose stabilizer bar bushings. This can be resolved by adding shims. If damaged, the bushings must be replaced.

I've been driving a Volkswagen for many years and found that strange noises during turns are quite common, usually due to issues with the steering system. For example, aging tie rods or insufficient oil in the power steering pump can cause a clicking sound when turning the wheel, especially during low-speed turns or when the steering wheel is fully turned. My old car had this issue before, with the sound coming from under the steering wheel. After replacing the tie rods, the problem was resolved. Don't delay addressing this—the steering system is crucial for control and safety. If it fails during a turn, it can be extremely dangerous. I recommend getting it checked at a professional shop as soon as you hear any unusual noises—don't try to tough it out. Avoid aggressive steering maneuvers in daily driving and turn the wheel gently when it's fully locked to extend the lifespan of the components. During regular maintenance, have a technician specifically inspect the steering parts—prevention is better than cure.

Why is the area above the car accelerator pedal empty?

The reason why the area above the car accelerator pedal is empty is due to the installation of knee airbags and cost-saving measures. Below are relevant introductions about the car accelerator: Function of car accelerator: In gasoline engines, the accelerator does not control fuel injection volume, but rather regulates the throttle opening size. A smaller opening means less air-fuel mixture enters the cylinder, resulting in lower engine power output, and vice versa. Solution for heavy accelerator pedal: If the accelerator pedal feels heavy, you can perform a fuel system cleaning. Alternatively, try continuing to accelerate to see if the engine RPM increases but the speed doesn't. If this occurs, it might be due to a damaged sensor inside the transmission locking the overdrive gear.

What to Do When the Reversing Camera Is Misaligned?

If the reversing camera is misaligned, you can manually rotate the camera up and down to adjust the viewing angle. It is important to ensure that the camera is installed based on the center of the vehicle's width to guarantee a comprehensive rear view. During use, pay attention to the distance between the guideline on the in-car screen and the rear objects to avoid collisions. If the misalignment is caused by the steering system, the solution is to straighten the vehicle, remove the steering wheel, and adjust the angle of the spline gear according to the deviation. Alternatively, take the car to a repair shop to adjust the tie rod of the steering gear, which essentially involves performing a wheel alignment.
