Volkswagen Golf's air conditioning filter is located behind the glove compartment. Below are the steps to replace the air conditioning filter in a Volkswagen Golf: 1. Open the glove compartment on the passenger side, locate the circular clip positions, and remove the glove compartment. 2. The circular positions are the installation points for the independent clips, which should be in a released state. 3. After removing the glove compartment tray, you can see the air conditioning filter cover. 4. The square positions indicate three clips; pressing down firmly will allow you to remove the air conditioning filter cover. Below are some precautions for using the air conditioning filter: 1. If the airflow from the air conditioner significantly decreases, the air conditioning filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter or replace it if necessary. 2. The cleaning frequency depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier. 3. The air conditioning filter should be correctly installed in its position. Using the air conditioner when the filter is removed may degrade dustproof performance and affect air conditioning performance. 4. In cities with poor air quality, it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter twice a year.

The air filter for my Volkswagen Golf is located above the footwell on the passenger side. First, you need to fully open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, then apply some pressure to the clips on both sides of the glove compartment—it will easily come off, revealing the filter cover behind. The cover is usually plastic and secured with clips or screws; a gentle pull or twist will expose the filter inside. I make it a habit to replace it once a year, especially after winter, as this filter is responsible for trapping pollen, dust, and odors from the air. If not replaced in time, turning on the AC may cause strange smells or make your nose itch. Changing it yourself is super easy—buying OEM parts online is affordable, saving you the hassle of waiting at a repair shop and some money too. All you need is a screwdriver, just avoid using excessive force.

Can I Get My Driver's License on the Same Day After Passing Subject 4?

After passing Subject 4, you can receive your license on-site, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and common sense test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Before the test, students can study traffic regulations through driver's mock test software on mobile or computer devices.

How to Check Tire Pressure Monitoring?

The tire pressure monitoring system can be viewed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel or the multimedia screen. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time while the vehicle is in motion and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used methods for tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of the indirect system, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a direct system.

Can a Car with Modified Grille Pass the Annual Inspection?

Whether a car with a modified grille can pass the annual inspection depends on whether the manufacturer of the grille has filed for record and whether the vehicle matches the photo on the vehicle registration certificate. Here is some information about car grilles: 1. Function: The main functions of a car grille are to provide air intake and ventilation for the radiator, engine, and air conditioning, as well as to protect internal components from damage by foreign objects during driving and to enhance aesthetics and individuality. In automotive engineering, the grille is used to cover the body to allow air to enter. 2. Modification Conditions: The grille can be modified before purchasing a new car, which does not affect registration and annual inspection. If you want to modify the grille, you can do so after the vehicle has been registered, and the modified vehicle can pass the annual inspection normally. Without approval from the traffic management department, modifying the grille is illegal, and the vehicle cannot be registered or pass the annual inspection.
