Where is the Jetta VS5 produced? I have deep personal experience with this. As a seasoned driver who frequently visits auto factories, this car is manufactured at FAW-Volkswagen's Chengdu production base. That factory is massive—I've toured it myself, and it's equipped with the latest generation of automated assembly lines specifically for SUVs like the VS5. Volkswagen has had a presence in China for years, and the Chengdu plant handles the Jetta brand series with strict quality control—every vehicle undergoes multiple tests before leaving the factory. Why Chengdu? Proximity to the southwestern market, abundant parts suppliers, and lower transportation costs. Localized production makes the VS5 more affordable while ensuring reliability. Friends who own it praise its steady performance and minimal issues. If you're considering a purchase, check the factory quality reports—it scores high on safety.

What does it mean when the engine oil light flickers on and off?

The engine oil light flickering on and off is a normal phenomenon during vehicle self-check. When the vehicle is powered on, the self-diagnosis system activates, causing the engine oil light to illuminate. After the vehicle runs for a while, if the system detects normal oil pressure, the light will automatically turn off. However, if the oil light flashes while driving, it indicates an oil system abnormality, requiring immediate parking for inspection or a visit to a 4S shop for maintenance. Possible causes for the oil light flashing include: 1. Insufficient oil level reduces the oil pump's output or causes air intake, leading to pressure drop; 2. Engine overheating accelerates oil aging, deterioration, and thinning, potentially causing leakage through gaps and pressure reduction; 3. A clogged oil filter can cause oil pump pressure fluctuations.

Why Is There Still a Charge for the Free First Maintenance?

First maintenance is not entirely free because not all services are included in the complimentary offer. The free items during the first maintenance are fixed, typically covering only engine oil and oil filter replacement. Services like engine cleaning or additional inspections incur charges. To avoid paying during the first maintenance, you can decline any extra services recommended by the 4S dealership. New cars usually come with a free first maintenance service, and some brands even offer the first two services for free. The complimentary maintenance items provided by 4S dealerships are specific—for example, the first maintenance is recommended when the car reaches 5,000 to 7,000 kilometers. Since the car has just completed its break-in period, only an oil and oil filter change is usually necessary. After the oil change, impurities generated during the break-in period inside the engine are effectively removed, allowing the engine to operate in better condition.

How to Report a Traffic Violation Vehicle?

There are three channels to report a traffic violation vehicle: 1. Call the traffic violation hotline 122; 2. Log in to the serious traffic violation reporting section on the local traffic website; 3. Mail a letter to the Traffic Management Bureau's Order Department. According to regulations, for a single violation, more than three images should be taken, with the pictures ideally reflecting the entire process of the violation. The images should clearly capture the surrounding environment, such as road signs, service area markers, and obvious landmarks. When submitting a report, it is also necessary to inform the traffic police department of the direction of travel and confirm the time the images were taken.

What Does Dual Clutch in Cars Mean?

Dual clutch in cars refers to a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which has two clutches—one controlling the odd-numbered gears and the other controlling the even-numbered gears. It is both a manual transmission and an automatic transmission, combining the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while providing uninterrupted power output. The dual clutch acts as a switch for power transmission between the engine and the transmission. The primary function of a dual clutch is to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce the impact load on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent the drivetrain from overloading. When using a dual-clutch transmission, it is advisable to frequently engage the manual mode, as the dual clutch has a memory programming feature. Regular use of manual mode allows the transmission to develop a memory effect and operate based on this memorized pattern, which helps reduce shift frequency and lowers the probability of malfunctions.

Can the ETC card still be charged after being removed?

ETC card can still be charged after being removed. You must remove the entire ETC device from the vehicle; simply removing the card is not enough. Otherwise, when passing through the gantry on the highway, it will still be detected and charged, leading to duplicate fees. This is because the gantry exchanges data with the OBU (On-Board Unit), so whether the card is inserted or not does not affect the charging process when passing through the gantry. The correct way to enter the highway after removing the card is to use the manual lane, take a toll card, and then, when exiting the highway, still use the manual lane. At this point, you need to remove the ETC card and hand it to the staff for payment. It is important to note that if the entire device is removed, it will trigger the anti-tamper switch, causing the OBU device to become inactive. To continue using it, reactivation will be required. If you want to enter or exit the highway via the ETC lane, the card must be inserted. Without the card inserted, the ETC entrance will not recognize the vehicle information, and the barrier will not automatically lift.
