The fuel tank cap switch for the older version of the Golf is located around the A-pillar or B-pillar inside the driver's cabin. As it is a mechanical switch, the owner can press it to open the fuel tank cap. For the newer version of the Golf, the fuel tank cap features a push-to-open mechanism, where pressing the cap from the outside will open it. The Golf is a compact sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4296mm in length, 1788mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2636mm. Under the hood, it is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

What does 'lo' mean in car air conditioning?

Car air conditioning 'lo' indicates the lowest temperature. When 'lo' appears while adjusting the car air conditioning temperature, it means the current setting is at the lowest temperature. The air conditioning may also display 'hi' and 'me' signs, representing high temperature and medium temperature respectively. 'Lo' is short for 'low', and 'hi' is short for 'high'. The correct way to use car air conditioning: 1. The blue button on the left represents cold air, the red button on the right represents warm air, and the middle one represents moderate temperature; 2. To turn on cold air, adjust the left button towards the blue side, and for warm air, adjust it towards the red side, then press the AC switch. The middle button controls the fan speed; 3. The white line on the left adjusts the temperature. If it feels too warm, you can adjust it to the middle.

How to downshift for overtaking without jerking?

Methods for downshifting to overtake without jerking: 1. Depress the clutch, shift to neutral, release the clutch, and press the accelerator; 2. Depress the clutch, downshift, then release the clutch and press the accelerator. When releasing the clutch pedal with your left foot, immediately follow by pressing the accelerator pedal with your right foot. It's important to release the clutch slowly. The principle is to control the engine speed to bring the pressure plate close to the speed of the friction plate, reducing the impact intensity when the clutch engages, thus avoiding jerking. If you don't rev-match when downshifting, the speed difference will be greater, requiring more friction from the clutch to synchronize, which will accelerate clutch wear and shorten its lifespan. Over time, the clutch pressure plate (commonly known as the clutch disc) will wear out.

What to Do When Car Windshield Washer Fluid Freezes?

Here are the solutions for frozen car windshield washer fluid: 1. If the freezing is not severe, you can start the car and let the engine's temperature gradually thaw it. 2. On sunny days, it's advisable to open the hood and let the sun help thaw the fluid. If the fluid isn't too frozen, it should thaw quickly. If it doesn't, adding some warm water (avoid boiling water) can help thaw the fluid. Once thawed, replace all the fluid to prevent future freezing. 3. If the freezing is severe and has already cracked the washer fluid reservoir, visit a repair station for assistance.

Where is the Jetta engine number located?

The engine number of the Volkswagen Jetta is located at the junction between the engine and the transmission, near the right side of the engine block. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through the following four ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine, where each engine has a unique number that is different from all others. The engine number consists of four parts, each representing different meanings. The first part includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or manufacturer code, which are selected by the manufacturer as needed and must be approved and registered by the industry standardization authority. The middle part consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. The rear part includes symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. The tail part is a distinguishing symbol, used by the manufacturer to indicate modifications or other distinguishing factors within the same product series.

What are the differences between the US version and Thailand version of BMW X5?

The differences between the Thailand version and US version of BMW X5 are as follows: The main difference between the two versions is that the US version comes with an air suspension, while the Thailand version does not. Additionally, the assembly quality of the US version is better than that of the Thailand version. In terms of exterior design, the US version integrates the rear turn signal and brake light, and features a yellow reflector on the front fender wheel arch, whereas the Thailand version has separate designs for the rear turn signal and brake light. Additional information: BMW's factory in Thailand is called the Rayong plant, which is responsible for the assembly of parts. BMW places great emphasis on the Chinese market, producing the X3 and X5 in Thailand primarily for the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. This is because these two models are the best-selling imported SUVs in China, and Thailand's tariffs are significantly lower than those of the US, as are the wages of Thai workers compared to their US counterparts.
