Where is the cooling vent of Volkswagen's dry dual-clutch located?

The cooling vent of Volkswagen's dry dual-clutch is located above the transmission. Principle of dry dual-clutch cooling: When the clutch plates of a dry dual-clutch engage, they rely entirely on direct friction, making them highly prone to overheating. This can lead to severe wear and a reduced lifespan. The cooling of a dry dual-clutch primarily depends on the airflow generated while the vehicle is in motion. If cooling is insufficient, the clutch plates may overheat and trigger a warning. Precautions for using a dry dual-clutch: If your city experiences heavy traffic with frequent stop-and-go driving, it is not recommended to purchase a vehicle equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission. Additionally, due to the low water-wading depth of dry dual-clutches and the presence of cooling vents around the clutch, water can enter through these vents and cause rusting. Therefore, if you live in a humid or rainy area, it is also advisable to avoid using a dry dual-clutch.

I've worked at a Volkswagen 4S shop for quite some time and frequently deal with dry dual-clutch transmission issues. The cooling vents are typically designed at the bottom of the transmission housing, positioned low to facilitate airflow and heat dissipation. For example, in cars like the Golf or Polo, the vent openings are located on the side of the transmission near the front drive shaft—they're not easy to spot unless you look closely. Since dry dual-clutch transmissions tend to overheat during frequent gear shifts, these vents allow cool air to enter and hot air to escape, preventing damage to internal components. I've encountered many cases where dust or mud clogged the vents, leading to transmission shuddering or warning alerts. I recommend that owners check and clean the vent openings every six months or have the technician inspect them during routine maintenance to extend the transmission's lifespan.

Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Volkswagen Bora?

The air conditioning filter in the Volkswagen Bora is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is some information about the car's air conditioning filter: 1. The replacement cycle for a car's air conditioning filter depends on the owner's driving conditions. Generally, for urban household cars, it should be replaced every six months or once a year. 2. If the car is frequently driven on dusty roads, more dust will enter the vehicle, which will accelerate the filter's contamination, necessitating earlier replacement. Additionally, the frequency of air conditioning use in different seasons can also affect the replacement cycle.

Method for Right Angle Turn in Subject 2?

The method for making a right angle turn in Subject 2 is as follows: 1. Slow down the vehicle speed before entering the right angle turn. If the speed is too fast, you can lightly apply the foot brake, but do not come to a complete stop, as stopping the vehicle will result in disqualification. Pay close attention to maintaining a slow speed and avoid stopping midway. 2. Before the vehicle enters the right angle turn, stay close to the opposite side of the turn. For a right turn during the test, keep the vehicle close to the left side of the lane without crossing the left line. The vehicle should stay close to the left side. 3. As the vehicle slowly enters the right angle area, focus your eyes on the right side rearview mirror. When you see that the right rearview mirror has just passed the right angle line by 2 to 3 centimeters, quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. 4. Once the right tire has passed the right angle, begin to straighten the steering wheel and look forward.

What are the functions of the lubrication system?

The functions of the lubrication system include the following points: 1. Lubricate the surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction resistance and wear, thereby decreasing engine power consumption; 2. Continuously circulate oil within the lubrication system to clean friction surfaces and carry away debris and foreign particles; 3. Continuously circulate oil within the lubrication system to carry away heat generated by friction, serving a cooling function; 4. Form an oil film between moving parts to improve sealing and prevent gas or oil leakage; 5. Create an oil film on part surfaces to protect them from corrosion and rust; 6. Lubricating oil can also be used as hydraulic oil, serving a hydraulic function; 7. Form an oil film on the surfaces of moving parts to absorb impacts and reduce vibrations, providing shock absorption and cushioning effects.

What is the passing score for C2 Subject 2?

The passing score for C2 Subject 2 is 80 points. According to Article 35 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' the passing standards for each subject examination are as follows: the full score for Subject 2 is 100 points. For large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 is sufficient. The C2 Subject 2 examination consists of four test items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses' (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess hill-start parking and starting. Reversing into a garage is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, so many test centers arrange it as the first item. The key to reversing into a garage lies in three points: the steering wheel's full-lock position, the 30 cm correction point, and the stopping point inside the garage. The vehicle must follow the prescribed route and sequence. Reversing must be completed within the garage lines without crossing them. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the garage with the rear wheel, spotting the rear corner in the side mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheel and the left dashed line. After parking, there's no need to straighten the wheels, but don't forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not cross the lines after parking, and the tires must not touch the lane boundaries during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is relatively easy for many students with good driving sense, as they can complete it intuitively. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure by crossing the lines. The key to the S-curve is observing the reference points on the hood and their alignment with the boundary lines. The tires must not press against the road edges. Right-angle turns are even simpler, essentially a breakdown of the exiting step from the reversing-into-garage item. The method for finding the reference point is the same as exiting the garage—aligning the hood's horizontal line with the front line (either precisely or slightly delayed). Ensure the wheels do not touch the road edges. Generally, the required training hours for C1 Subject 2 are 16, while C2 Subject 2 requires 14 hours. Completing the mandatory training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced. Additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each training hour lasts 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If you fail Subject 2, you can retake it once. If you fail the retest, the examination process ends, and you must reschedule the test after ten days. If you fail five consecutive exam attempts (including retests, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you must restart the process from Subject 1.
