The engine number of the Passat is located below the coolant reservoir, at the junction between the engine block and the transmission. Here is an introduction to the engine number: 1. The car engine number is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is the abbreviation of Vehicle Identification Number in English. 2. According to ASE standards, the VIN consists of 17 characters, hence it is commonly referred to as the 17-digit code. Correctly interpreting the VIN is crucial for accurately identifying the vehicle model and performing proper diagnosis and maintenance. 3. The Vehicle Identification Number is like the car's ID number, determined according to national vehicle management standards. It contains information such as the manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location. On new vehicle registration certificates, the 'frame number' field usually prints the VIN.

What to Do If Your Car Is Scratched While Parked on the Roadside and the Culprit Cannot Be Found?

Most car owners install a dashcam in their vehicles, as self-defense is crucial. It's essential to be cautious, as the saying goes, 'Better safe than sorry.' For instance, if your beloved car gets scratched and the culprit cannot be found, the dashcam can still prove useful. You can use the images recorded by the dashcam to gather relevant information and seek help from the police. However, it's important to note that you must report the incident to your insurance company before any culprit is identified. If you proceed with repairs without finding the responsible party, you will have to bear 30% of the costs. On the other hand, if the culprit is found, they will be fully responsible for all repair costs, and you won't have to pay anything. If your car is scratched while parked in a paid parking lot, you can approach the parking lot administrator. The administrator can assist in identifying the culprit, as it is relatively straightforward to track down the responsible party in such cases. Since you paid for parking, the parking lot administrator has a responsibility to ensure your safety, and you can always request an investigation from them under any circumstances.

Can you add replenishment fluid to a dry battery?

You cannot add replenishment fluid to a dry battery. Below are some battery maintenance methods: Check the battery every six months: To keep the battery in optimal condition, it's best to have it tested at a 4S shop every six months to check its charging capacity. Generally, a battery's lifespan is around 3 years, but with good maintenance, it can last up to 4 years. However, the intervals between checks should be shortened as the battery ages. Monitor the battery status indicator promptly: Many modern vehicles have a battery status indicator on the LCD display, which shows the battery's usage status. When the battery voltage is insufficient, this indicator will flash as a reminder, prompting a thorough inspection. Therefore, it's important to pay attention to this indicator regularly. Additionally, there is also a battery charge indicator on the battery itself, which can be seen on the battery.
