When I first bought my car, I also searched all over for the VIN. It's mainly located in the triangular area at the lower left corner of the windshield near the dashboard—just look outside and you'll see a long string of letters and numbers. If it's hard to see there on older models, lift the hood and check near the right shock absorber tower for an engraved metal plate. If it's unclear on rainy days, using your phone's flashlight to take a photo works especially well. When taking the car to the DMV for title transfer, the staff will ask to see the stamped VIN in the engine bay, so remember to clean any oil stains in that area beforehand.

How often should the coolant in a Leiling be replaced?

The coolant in a Leiling should be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the coolant level regularly and top it up if it's insufficient. If you notice any suspended particles, sediment, or discoloration in the coolant, replace it immediately and flush the system. Coolant replacement procedure: Before fully replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any leaks or cracks in the pipes, with particular attention to the five-way hose. The five-way hose, named for its five connection points, distributes coolant to various parts of the vehicle. If there's any coolant leakage in this area, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant and flush the channels with clean water. Add water to the coolant reservoir and continue filling until clean water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Keep adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the heater core completely. About an hour after draining, add new coolant through the radiator hose to allow quick flow into the radiator. Then, fill the coolant reservoir with another container of coolant until it's nearly full. Run the engine for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Top up the coolant to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

Does the GTI come with a manual transmission?

Golf GTI imports have manual transmissions, but domestically there are no manual transmissions available. Here is some relevant information: 1. A car that uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also called a manual transmission) to adjust speed. That is, the driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. 2. Manual transmission cars allow drivers to better experience the thrill of climbing hills, accelerating, and the joy of driving. Because the operation is more complex, it requires the driver to have higher driving skills. Although coasting in neutral with a manual transmission saves fuel, because the car loses power, especially during turns, it can lead to risks such as understeer and tailspin. At the same time, if the engine stalls during idle, the car will lose power steering and braking, increasing safety hazards while driving.
