The difference between hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles lies in their charging methods: hybrid electric vehicles cannot be charged via an external power source, have smaller battery capacities, and are not eligible for green license plates; plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can be charged via an external power source, have larger battery capacities, and are eligible for green license plates. Hybrid electric vehicles offer high fuel efficiency and superior driving performance. The engine in hybrid vehicles uses fuel, and with the assistance of an electric motor during startup and acceleration, fuel consumption can be reduced. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are a new type of hybrid electric vehicle, differing from traditional gasoline-powered and electric-drive hybrids. The driving principles and units of plug-in hybrids are the same as those of electric vehicles, with the only difference being that they are equipped with an engine.

How to Deal with Scratches on Car Glass?

For small and shallow scratches, they can be removed by polishing. However, it's best if the scratches are not within the driver's line of sight. Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the scratched area and gently rub with a soft cloth, then rinse with water. Toothpaste can help repair minor scratches. Slowly apply the gel along the glass crack, being patient to avoid uneven surfaces, which are especially noticeable in sunlight. If the glass scratches are deep, it is recommended to choose a reliable and reputable professional repair shop for restoration.

How to Deal with High Temperature in Jetta Cars?

Check whether the radiator is leaking. If the radiator leaks, it will cause insufficient coolant, and the car will run at a high temperature as soon as it operates. Refill with better coolant. Some people prefer to add tap water to the radiator, but such water cannot meet the cooling requirements, leading to high radiator temperature. If the fan in front of the radiator rotates abnormally, it will prevent heat from dissipating quickly, causing the radiator temperature to rise. In this case, simply replace or repair the fan in time. A damaged thermostat can also cause high radiator temperature. Moreover, the thermostat is very difficult to install and requires professional handling.

What is the method to determine when to replace worn car tires?

To assess the degree of tire wear, the best method is to observe the thickness from the top to the bottom of the tread grooves. New tires typically have a thickness of around 8mm. Tire aging is significantly influenced by the duration of use and environmental conditions. The normal service life is approximately 6 years, but harsh environments can accelerate this timeline. Tire damage rarely occurs on the sidewalls. However, when bulges, deformations, or severe damage appear on the sidewalls, it becomes a highly hazardous situation.

How to Remove the Headlight of a Jetta?

The headlight and the headlight guard plate are secured with screws. The most easily noticeable are the two screws on top; remove these two screws. At the lower right of the headlight, you will find a screw fixed to the radiator frame; remove this screw. The last screw securing the headlight is located underneath it; remove this screw and keep it safe for reinstallation. Hold the edge of the headlight with your hand and pull it backward. This will make it easier to locate the wiring harness connector of the headlight, avoiding scratches on the headlight surface. Then gently pull out the wiring harness connector by hand to avoid breaking the conductive wires inside the connector.
