The handbrake cable is stuck and requires disassembly and repair at a repair shop. If the brake caliper does not reset, remove the caliper, take out the fixing pin on the caliper, clean it with a cleaner or rust remover, apply an appropriate amount of grease, and then reinstall it. The metal handbrake cable may rust, and debris may enter the outer sleeve of the handbrake cable, preventing the cable from resetting after the handbrake is released. Check if the parking spot is on a slope. If it is, press the accelerator slightly before releasing the handbrake. If it's on flat ground, the handbrake may have been pulled too tight.

Is the Car Horn a Wear-Prone Part?

Car horns are considered wear-prone parts, with their service life depending on the quality of the horn and the frequency of use. Function of the horn: During vehicle operation, drivers use the horn to emit necessary sound signals as required by regulations, warning pedestrians and alerting other vehicles to ensure traffic safety. It is also used for urging movement and conveying signals. Working principle of the horn: When the horn button is pressed, current flows through the contacts and into the coil, generating a magnetic force that pulls down the armature, forcing the diaphragm to move. The movement of the armature causes the contacts to open, interrupting the current. The magnetic force of the coil then disappears, allowing the diaphragm and armature to return to their original positions under the action of their own elasticity and the spring plate, closing the contacts and reconnecting the circuit. Current flows through the contacts and coil again, generating magnetic force and repeating the above process. This cycle causes the diaphragm to vibrate continuously, thereby producing sound.

What are the reasons for high temperature in old Jetta cars?

Radiator fan not rotating, poor radiator cooling, and thermostat malfunction can all cause high temperature in old Jetta cars. Radiator fan not rotating: The simplest way to check if the radiator fan is functioning properly is to turn on the vehicle's air conditioning cooling system. If the air conditioning compressor has started but the fan still does not rotate, the fan must be faulty. Poor radiator cooling: This situation often occurs during the months of April and May when there is an abundance of willow catkins and cotton fluff. To check, simply open the engine hood and observe whether the radiator located behind the bumper is clogged with excessive debris. If the radiator is severely blocked, it needs to be cleaned at a repair shop. Thermostat failing to open properly: In this case, the coolant cannot circulate normally and fails to provide cooling. The main symptoms are that both the radiator and the return hose remain at room temperature (they should normally be hot), and due to gas expansion inside the hoses, both the upper and lower hoses become very hard.
