If the first car maintenance is overdue, you can call and communicate with the 4S dealership. If there was prior communication or the overdue period is not too long, the 4S dealership will generally still provide the first free maintenance service. However, if the 4S dealership refuses to offer free first maintenance, there is little that can be done. If the car exceeds the first maintenance period or the specified mileage, the 4S dealership has the right to refuse free first maintenance. First Car Maintenance Items: Replacement: Replace engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter. Inspection: Check the coolant level; check the brake and clutch fluid levels; check the power steering fluid level; inspect all oil pipe interfaces for leaks; check the battery fluid level and windshield washer fluid level; inspect the tension and aging of the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and power steering pump belts; check the functionality of front and rear lights; inspect tire pressure and wear; check if the car's exhaust emissions meet standards.

How to Check the Production Date of Volkswagen Car Glass?

Method to check the production date of Volkswagen car glass: You can view it at the lower left corner of the glass, which consists of a combination of symbols, numbers, and English letters.

The first row of dots represents the month, while the second row consists of two differently shaped dots. The first type of dot represents N days (1 dot), N plus 10 days (2 dots), or N plus 20 days (3 dots). Car glass mainly falls into the following three categories: laminated glass, tempered glass, and zone-tempered glass, all of which can withstand strong impact forces. Based on their location, car glass is divided into four types: windshield, side window glass, rear windshield, and sunroof glass.

What Are the Effects of Not Driving a New Car?

Leaving a new car unused for an extended period can cause certain damages, which are detailed as follows: 1. Premature failure and aging of various oil seals, leading to oil leaks: When a vehicle is parked in one place for a long time, the oil seals experience uneven pressure distribution around their contact points. Over time, this can cause permanent deformation of the oil seals, resulting in oil leaks, which may lead to various potential hazards in the vehicle. 2. Significant reduction in battery lifespan: The vehicle's battery charges while driving. If the car remains unused for half a month, the battery cannot recharge. However, it continues to consume power, as electronic devices like the anti-theft module remain operational even after the engine is turned off. 3. Tire deformation: When parked, the entire weight of the car is borne by the parts of the four tires in contact with the ground, causing localized compression and deformation. The longer the car remains parked, the harder it becomes for these deformed areas to recover, altering the weight distribution around the tires and leading to uneven rolling radii and imbalance. Once the car enters high-speed driving, this can cause body vibrations, accelerating tire wear and potentially creating safety hazards. 4. Fluid deterioration: Fluids such as engine oil inside the vehicle can oxidize severely if the car remains unused for a long time. Oxidized oil affects the lubrication efficiency of the engine, and acidic byproducts can corrode mechanical components. The longer the car is parked, the more severe the oxidation becomes. Additionally, the oil drains back into the oil pan, and when the car is restarted, friction between the cylinders and pistons increases, accelerating component wear and making startup resistance higher.
