2 Answers
For the Volkswagen Magotan, if the cigarette lighter won't pop out, replacing it with a new one should solve the issue. Below is an introduction to the Volkswagen Polo: 1. Body Dimensions: The Volkswagen Polo measures 4053mm in length, 1751mm in width, and 1446mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2564mm. 2. Powertrain: The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with three gasoline engines—1.0L, 1.0T, and 1.5T—and a 1.6T diesel engine, with maximum power ranging from 48kW (65PS) to 110kW (150PS). It comes with a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. Features: Except for the base model, all trims come standard with ESP.
I previously encountered a situation where the ashtray cover of my Magotan got stuck and wouldn't pop out. This is mostly caused by accumulated dust in the tracks or small debris like coins or cigarette ash getting stuck. I tried gently prying the edge of the cover with my fingers or a small plastic piece, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the plastic. If that didn't work, I used a small brush to clean the tracks and then sprayed a bit of WD-40 lubricant, slowly pushing and pulling the cover a few times to loosen it. Over time, the spring can weaken or run out of lubrication, but after cleaning, it usually returns to normal. It's best to keep the interior clean when parked and avoid placing items near the ashtray. Regular cleaning can prevent this annoyance. If you can't fix it yourself, it's advisable to go directly to a repair shop to avoid affecting your driving mood.
