You need to immediately turn off the engine, then disconnect the positive terminal of the battery. After 5 minutes, reconnect it, insert the key and turn it to the ON position until the dashboard indicator lights up. Wait for 30 seconds, then remove the key. Below are specific details about the engine auto start-stop system: 1. Introduction: The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop. 2. Principle: It works by embedding an enhanced motor with idle start-stop functionality into a traditional engine, allowing the engine to completely shut off when idle stop conditions are met. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition, significantly reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. 3. Control System: The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a set of controls for engine start and stop. The system uses a computer to determine the vehicle's status, such as when it is stationary at a red light or in traffic, and can control the engine to automatically stop running. During the stop phase, it does not affect the use of in-car equipment like air conditioning or audio. This technology can save about 5% of fuel under normal driving conditions and up to 15% in congested areas.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of the New Jetta?

New Jetta rear seat removal method: First, remove the three headrests. Insert your hand at the junction between the seat base and the backrest, and you will find some areas that are clipped. Press the clipped areas downward with your hand, then push outward. After releasing the rear clips, proceed to handle the front clips. There are two U-shaped clips at the front; remove these two clips as well. Then, remove the three fixing bolts under the rear backrest and pull out the six guide sleeves that secure the headrests. The rear seat can then be successfully removed. Jetta is an automobile brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. In terms of body dimensions, the new Jetta measures 4501mm in length, 1704mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2604mm. For the interior, the Jetta follows Volkswagen's new interior design style, featuring a larger LCD display on the center console and equipped with USB, SD card, and AUX interfaces.

What Causes Difficulty Starting a Hot Engine?

Reasons for difficulty starting a hot engine: 1. Carbon deposits: At high temperatures, carbon deposits have a strong adsorption effect on fuel. Excessive carbon buildup on pistons, throttle valves, and intake pipes can absorb part of the fuel, resulting in too much air and too little fuel, thereby affecting engine startup; 2. Faulty coolant temperature sensor and intake air temperature sensor: If these two sensors are damaged, they cannot provide correct temperature signals; 3. Fuel system failure: When the car is hot, the temperature is very high. If the owner opts for cheap, low-quality gasoline from small gas stations, it can cause gasoline to evaporate, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture. Additionally, poor fuel pump operation or fuel injector leakage can also make it difficult to start.

What Causes an Increase in Car Antifreeze?

An increase in car antifreeze is often due to engine cylinder head gasket failure, which is a dangerous situation as engine oil enters the cooling system. Antifreeze is a crucial substance in the cooling system, circulating in the radiator and carrying away engine heat through pipes. Besides preventing freezing and cooling, it also has excellent properties such as preventing boiling in summer, rust removal, and corrosion resistance. Situations requiring antifreeze replacement include: 1. The color of the antifreeze in the reservoir has changed, showing a noticeable difference from the original; 2. Sediments or floating impurities are visible in the antifreeze; 3. The antifreeze level exceeds the designated limit; 4. Instruments detect insufficient freezing point of the antifreeze; 5. The engine temperature is too high.

What is the troubleshooting method for valve ablation and air leakage?

Valve ablation and air leakage troubleshooting methods are as follows: 1. Inspection: Check the sealing between the valve and the valve seat ring. Introduce 490~588 kPa compressed air into the cylinder and listen at the intake manifold and exhaust manifold respectively. Determine whether the air leakage is from the intake valve or the exhaust valve based on the sound of the leakage. 2. Characteristics of ablation: After valve ablation, the engine shows weak operation, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and poor sound when firing. If the exhaust valve is ablated, the exhaust pipe will overheat or even turn red. 3. Determining valve ablation fault: The valve spring should be disassembled and inspected for obvious deformation and whether its stiffness meets the standard; check the valve and seat for ablation, grooves, pits, and pitting. Repair as much as possible according to the repair specifications, and replace with new parts if necessary.

How Long Does It Take for the Engine to Cool Down After Shutting Off?

Engine cooling takes about half an hour after shutting off. Engine cooling refers to the heat dissipation and insulation measures taken for components operating in high-temperature environments during engine operation, ensuring that the temperature of heated parts does not exceed the allowable range of material strength. Engine cooling methods include: 1. Film cooling, where liquid propellant or gas forms a film on the heated wall to prevent heat transfer from the gas to the wall, known as liquid film cooling or gas film cooling; 2. Sweat cooling, also known as transpiration cooling. The heated part is made of porous material, and the coolant seeps through the micropores to the heated surface, carrying away heat while forming a cooling film on the wall, providing excellent cooling effects; 3. Thermal insulation layer, where low thermal conductivity high-temperature resistant materials are applied or adhered to the heated wall to reduce heat transfer from the gas to the wall.
