Passat this car consumes a large amount of fuel, the solution is to clean the engine regularly. The methods to address high fuel consumption in Passat are as follows: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Engine carbon deposits are one of the very important reasons, caused by using unsuitable engine oil. 2. Oxygen sensor: The oxygen sensor, as an internal control unit of the car, mainly monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the engine's air-fuel ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. 3. Regular replacement of the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, it is necessary to regularly replace the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. If not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty, affect performance, and send wrong information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits.

Why does it prompt 'No Training Attended' after completing the required hours for Subject 1?

Insufficient hours for Subject 1 have resulted in the inability to make a normal appointment. According to the new regulations on driving skill training, driver training must be clocked in. Students must insert their IC card into the driving training management recorder and press their fingerprint to start learning, which will then be counted as valid training hours. Only after completing the required hours and passing all subject exams can one obtain a driver's license. This system is designed to ensure teaching quality and prevent students and instructors from cutting corners. Additional information: Motor vehicle driving is a complex skill, and countries around the world have set entry barriers for motor vehicle drivers. In China, the 'Motor Vehicle Driving Teaching and Examination Syllabus' issued by the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Security specifies the required hours for corresponding vehicle types. Reduced training time makes it difficult to master driving skills proficiently, not only affecting students' exam pass rates but also potentially creating 'road killers,' seriously endangering the personal safety of drivers and others.
