The 2013 Passat, launched in 2012, comes with 11 variants, all featuring a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The vehicle is equipped with 1.4L, 1.8L, 2.0L turbocharged, and 3.0L naturally aspirated engines. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed wet dual-clutch, and 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearboxes. All variants are front-wheel drive. The 2014 and 2015 Passat models also have a 70-liter fuel tank. Starting from the 2016 model, the fuel tank capacity of the Passat decreased slightly: the 2016 and 2017 models have a 69-liter tank, the 2019 and 2020 models have a 66-liter tank, and the 2021 and 2022 models feature a 68.5-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.

Does Insurance Transfer with the Car in Used Vehicle Ownership Transfer?

Regulation: During the validity period of the insurance, if the vehicle is sold, transferred, gifted, or its use is changed, the policyholder must notify the insurance company in writing and apply for an endorsement change.

Does filling up the gas tank in summer affect the car?

Filling up the gas tank in summer does affect the car. Here are the specific details: 1. Driving safety: The gas tank has a vent hole at the top. If the tank is filled to the brim, gasoline can easily overflow through the vent hole. 2. Tank deformation: The tank has a fixed capacity, and some space is left to prevent gasoline expansion. If the tank is overfilled, the gasoline will expand due to heat from the sun, which can deform the tank. 3. Vehicle performance: More gasoline means increased vehicle weight, requiring the engine to consume more fuel to move the car. 4. Other impacts: It can severely reduce the performance of the carbon canister, leading to engine shaking, increased fuel consumption, faster gasoline evaporation, and gasoline fumes entering the cabin, which can harm health over time.

Why don't diesel engines use spark plugs for ignition?

This is because diesel has a relatively low ignition temperature. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Introduction: With the motor driving the crankshaft to operate, it drives the engine's crank connecting rod mechanism, valve mechanism, fuel supply mechanism, etc. After intake and compression, the temperature of the compressed air at the end of compression reaches above 700 degrees. At this time, high-pressure diesel is injected into the cylinder in a mist form from the fuel injector, and the formed mixture is immediately ignited, pushing the crankshaft to continue operating. 2. Compression ignition: Diesel engines directly compress the mixture of air and fuel to the ignition point, causing spontaneous ignition, which is called compression ignition. There is no need for an external spark to ignite, so spark plugs are not used. Gasoline engines have a lower compression ratio compared to diesel engines and require ignition to make the gas in the cylinder combust.
