I frequently deal with maintenance issues for the Volkswagen Tiguan. Its computer module is usually hidden in the engine compartment, specifically towards the right front, just behind the firewall under the windshield. You can see it by lifting the plastic cover. The design is quite clever to protect against engine heat and dust. For other models like the older Tiguan, it might be under the driver's seat, but most are located in the engine compartment. If you plan to access it yourself, always remember to disconnect the battery first to avoid accidental short circuits and personal injury. This location is crucial during repairs—I've seen many beginners struggle for hours because they couldn't find it. For routine checks, don't forget to clean the dust regularly to prevent faults and address issues early.

I drive a Tiguan myself. Last time when I checked the computer module, I found it sitting right at the front of the engine bay, next to the firewall. The location is quite convenient - just remove the protective cover for access. There might be slight variations across different model years; for instance, newer Tiguans might have it positioned more towards the center. Before any operation, I always make it a habit to turn off the engine and remove the key to ensure safety first. Many owners in our car group have discussed this too - if you encounter issues, don't panic. Start troubleshooting from simple areas to avoid damaging other components by messing around. Remember its location during routine maintenance, so when your car has problems, repairs can be quicker, saving you time, hassle, and money.

When I was learning auto repair, my master always emphasized that the computer module of the Tiguan is located at the front right of the engine compartment, under the windshield, where common design protection system components are placed. Finding it is quite simple—just remove the protective cover, but be careful not to act recklessly, as it's easy to get an electric shock or cause damage. There might be slight variations in position between different versions, such as imported or domestic models, but generally, it's the same. Before getting started, beginners must understand battery safety operations to prevent accidents. Remembering this point helps quickly locate faults and avoids delays in repairs.

Can China III Motorcycles Still Be Licensed?

China III motorcycles can still be licensed. Below are the relevant details: Reasons: Although licensing for China III motorcycles was prohibited after July 2019, if you wish to license them afterward, the motorcycle must be returned to the manufacturer for modification to meet China IV standards, or undergo emission verification at the vehicle management office—commonly referred to as a re-inspection. As long as it meets the China IV standard, it can still be licensed normally. Transfer: China III motorcycles can still be transferred, provided they are already licensed, have complete documentation, and the certificate of compliance has not expired. However, if the motorcycle was just purchased, it must be returned to the manufacturer for upgrading to China IV standards. The transfer process requires proof of origin, technical documentation file, ID card, and a copy of the ID card.

What Are the Consequences of Not Replacing Engine Mounts?

If damaged engine mounts are not replaced, symptoms such as car idling, body vibration, steering wheel shaking, and loud body resonance noises may occur. After replacement, the engine will run more smoothly and stably, providing a more comfortable driving experience. Below is an introduction to engine mounts: Eliminating Resonance: The engine generates certain vibrations during operation. Engine mounts contain rubber components that can eliminate the resonance produced by the engine. Pressure Reduction: Some mounts also feature hydraulic oil pressure reduction, serving the same primary purpose. If the mounts are damaged, the vibrations from the engine will cause the entire body to vibrate. Notes: Typically, there are three engine mounts fixed to the body frame. If one is damaged and not replaced promptly, it disrupts the balance, accelerating the damage to the other two.

Is a B2 Driver's License Worth Getting?

B2 driver's license is worth obtaining. The B2 license covers a wide range of vehicle types, allowing the holder to operate medium and heavy-duty trucks or specialized operation vehicles, as well as small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery, corresponding to C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and M licenses. Here are the specific details about the B2 driver's license: Permitted Vehicle Types: The B2 license permits the operation of medium and heavy-duty trucks or specialized operation vehicles, and also allows driving small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. The B2 license does not permit driving passenger buses or tractor-trailers; an A2 license is required for tractor-trailers, and a B1 license is needed for passenger buses. If you wish to drive both passenger buses and trucks, you need to apply for a B1 or A2 license. Application Method: The B2 driver's license can be applied for when initially obtaining a driver's license, or it can be upgraded from a lower-level license. In either case, you need to submit an application to the local vehicle management office where your household registration is located, then undergo a physical examination as required, and proceed with studying and taking the test at a driving school.
