Since the horns of most vehicles are installed near the front bumper, when the vehicle wades through water, external water can enter the high or low-frequency horn, causing a change in sound. If you notice the horn sound has become muffled, the first step is to remove the horn, which can be done by yourself or at a professional repair facility. Below is some relevant information about the Golf car: 1. Model Overview: The Volkswagen Golf is a best-selling car under the Volkswagen brand. It is the most produced model by Volkswagen and also the best-selling Volkswagen model, ranking third among the world's best-selling car models. 2. Powertrain: The Volkswagen Golf is equipped with Volkswagen's most advanced 1.4TSI engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, providing strong power, which is also one of the reasons many consumers favor it. 3. Safety Systems: In terms of active safety, as a compact car with a standard multi-collision brake system, the new Golf effectively prevents injuries caused by secondary collisions. It is also equipped with multiple active safety systems such as a lane-keeping system, rear traffic alert, fatigue monitoring system, tire pressure monitoring, and newly added rearview cameras and blind-spot monitoring.

Does it matter if the car maintenance is delayed by two months?

If the car is driven normally, there is not much impact. Because maintenance is mainly to confirm whether the vehicle has any abnormalities and to replace certain parts or engine oil, as long as the parts are in good condition, the engine oil used is of good quality and high grade, and the oil is not black when checked, a slight delay in maintenance is not a big issue. However, if the car has not been driven for one or two months and the maintenance period has passed, it is recommended to go for maintenance as soon as possible. Here are some related introductions: 1. Only regular maintenance can keep the vehicle in good condition. If maintenance is not done properly, the failure rate will increase accordingly. Generally, vehicle maintenance can be delayed for up to about three months; 2. Due to significant differences in road conditions, fuel quality, altitude, temperature, air conditions, and other factors in different regions, the actual condition of the vehicle may deviate from the manufacturer's preset general conditions. Therefore, it is best to follow the vehicle maintenance manual for regular maintenance or, if conditions permit, to perform maintenance appropriately in advance as needed.

Which is the external circulation in car AM?

In car circulation, 'A' stands for automatic control of the car's internal and external circulation, while 'M' represents the external circulation. When the 'A' button is pressed, the air conditioning system will automatically determine whether internal or external circulation is needed based on the air quality outside the car. When the 'M' button is pressed, the car is in internal circulation when the light is on, and in external circulation when the light is off. Below are the functions of internal and external circulation in cars: 1. Function of external circulation: External circulation mainly serves the purpose of ventilation. When the air inside the car is relatively polluted, the car needs to turn on the external circulation to replace the air inside. 2. Function of internal circulation: When the car turns on internal circulation, the air inside the car does not flow, and the air current circulates in a closed environment.

What is the difference between low gear and high gear in a car?

The difference between high gear and low gear lies in their different purposes. Low gear provides slower speed but greater torque, making it suitable for climbing hills or hauling heavy loads. High gear offers less torque but higher speed, making it ideal for highway driving. Introduction to manual transmission gears: A standard manual transmission car has 5 forward gears, one reverse gear, and a neutral position in between. 1st gear is used for starting; 2nd gear is used at speeds between 20-40 km/h; 3rd gear is used at speeds between 40-60 km/h; 4th gear is used at speeds between 60-75 km/h; 5th gear is used at speeds above 75 km/h; Reverse gear is used for backing up; Neutral is used for temporary parking, during which the brake pedal must be pressed or the handbrake must be engaged to prevent the car from rolling. Introduction to automatic transmission gears: L gear: This is the low gear, used when climbing hills, maintaining high RPM in a low gear state. S gear: This is the sport mode, where the transmission shifts freely based on current speed and the driver's throttle input, but with a slight delay in shifting. D gear: This is the drive gear, used when moving forward. N gear: This is the neutral position, used for temporary stops, such as waiting at a traffic light. P gear: This is the parking gear, used when parking to engage the parking brake and prevent the car from rolling. R gear: This is the reverse gear, used when backing up. It should only be engaged when the car is completely stopped to avoid severe damage to the transmission. B gear: This is the brake gear, used when descending long slopes. Engaging B gear activates engine braking, preventing overheating of the brake pads from prolonged use of the service brakes and avoiding potential accidents.

What Are the Reasons for the Starter Failing to Operate?

Reasons for the starter failing to operate: 1. Insufficient battery capacity. The solution is to observe the brightness of the headlights or listen to the sound of the horn to determine. If the lights are dim or the horn sounds hoarse, it indicates insufficient battery power; 2. Burnt-out starter fuse or relay coil. The solution is to replace with the same fuse or relay for testing; 3. Neutral start switch malfunction. The solution is to check if the vehicle is in neutral and inspect the gear switch; 4. Some vehicles have a switch under the clutch pedal or brake pedal, which requires pressing the clutch or brake to start the vehicle.

What is the normal engine starting speed?

Engine starting speed between 1000 to 3500 revolutions per minute (RPM) is considered normal. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Its function is to transform the chemical energy from burning liquid or gas into thermal energy, and then convert the thermal energy into mechanical energy through expansion, thereby outputting power externally. The engine mainly consists of the valve train, crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication system, starting system, and fuel supply system. Engine maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly changing the oil and oil filter; 2. Using lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade; 3. Periodically cleaning the radiator; 4. Maintaining good ventilation in the crankcase; 5. Regularly cleaning the crankcase and fuel system.
