The Passat has multiple drainage holes distributed across various parts of the vehicle. Door drainage holes: These are located at the bottom of the doors. If water accumulates inside the door and you hear sloshing sounds when opening it, this typically indicates the door's drainage holes are clogged. Fuel filler flap drainage hole: Most vehicles have a drainage hole beneath the fuel filler flap. If this becomes blocked, water from car washes or rain cannot drain properly, potentially leading to water accumulation in the fuel tank area and causing damage. Sunroof drainage holes: The sunroof has drainage holes in all four corners. Even when closed during rain, water can enter and flows through guide channels to drainage holes A-C, eventually exiting beneath the vehicle.

Why does the car's water temperature rise when idling with the AC on but remains normal while driving?

Because the ambient temperature is relatively high, coupled with the heat generated by the engine and other machinery, the water temperature rises when idling with the AC on but returns to normal while driving. Below are solutions for high water temperature when idling with the AC on: 1. Cleaning: Visit a professional repair shop or 4S store to clean the condenser, radiator, and inspect the fan and cooling system. 2. Rinsing: When washing the car, you can appropriately rinse with a hose, targeting the gaps around the car emblem where the condenser is located. Over time, it can accumulate dust, leaves, and other debris. 3. AC: Turn on the internal circulation when using the AC to save costs, maintain a lower temperature inside the car, and avoid waste. 4. Cooling: Use intermittent cooling by turning off the AC once the car's interior temperature drops and turning it back on after some time.

Is it necessary to service the car after running 5,000 kilometers?

It is necessary to service the car after running 5,000 kilometers, as car maintenance is based on a cycle. Below are the specific details: 1. First service time: The first service for a car should be done within 3-5 months. 2. First service mileage: The first service mileage ranges from 3,000 kilometers to 5,000 kilometers, and for some cars, it can even extend up to 8,000 kilometers. Here are some other details: 1. Maintenance items: Apart from changing the engine oil and oil filter, the first car service includes a comprehensive inspection and diagnosis of the vehicle's condition and usage. Usually, the first service items are free. If the technician suggests performing items not included in the first service, the car owner must inquire whether there will be additional charges before deciding whether to proceed. 2. Purpose of maintenance: During the first service of a new car, the vehicle's information such as the chassis number and frame number will be registered and uploaded to the manufacturer's nationwide warranty system. Missing the first service may likely result in the loss of warranty coverage.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the eighth-generation Accord?

The fuel tank capacity of the eighth-generation Civic is 47 liters. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 facelifted Yinglang has a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters, while the 2022 classic Lingxuanyi has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. Maintenance tips for the fuel tank are as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for oil leaks at the fuel pipe connections and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, also ensure that the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while proximity to 'F' means the tank is nearly full.

How to Replace the Battery in an Audi A3 Key?

Locate the release button on the car key, press and hold the release button while pulling out the mechanical key. Find the hidden latch inside the mechanical key slot, use the mechanical key to press the latch, pull out the battery holder, remove the battery cover, take out the old battery, install the new battery with the positive side facing up, and the replacement is complete. Reassemble by following the reverse steps. Related information is as follows: 1. Key Functions: The Audi A3 key has three buttons: lock, trunk open, and unlock. Holding down the unlock button can simultaneously lower all four windows, while holding down the lock button can simultaneously raise all four windows. Note that this function requires manual setup; open the multimedia system, find the driving assistance settings to enable this feature. 2. Signs of Low Battery: There are some signs before the car remote key runs out of battery. Observe the brightness change of the remote key indicator light. When pressing the remote button, if the indicator light on the key dims or flickers, it's time to replace the battery. If the remote control distance of the key becomes shorter—previously able to open the door from a distance but now requiring proximity to the door for a response—it's time to replace the battery.
