There are two fuse boxes in the Golf 7. One fuse box is located under the dashboard in the driver's compartment, specifically on the left side of the center console, inside the cover above the driver's footwell. The other fuse box is near the battery in the engine compartment. Each fuse box is similar, with corresponding numbers and descriptions on the inside of the cover, allowing car owners to clearly identify the specific information of each component. Below is related information about fuses: Steps to replace a fuse: 1. Turn off the vehicle and all power sources before inspection. 2. Locate the corresponding position, use a small pry tool to open the protective cover, and check the component information inside the fuse box. 3. Use a light or a test pen to perform a preliminary check on the fuse, confirming it has blown before considering replacement. 4. The new fuse should match the old one in size, color, and all specifications. 5. After replacement, check if the corresponding component is functioning; otherwise, send it to a repair shop promptly. Fuse-related precautions: 1. Using fuses that do not meet specifications may cause fires or injuries. 2. Installing fuses with a current rating higher than specified can easily overload and damage components. 3. Never attempt to repair a damaged fuse. 4. Do not use paper clips as substitutes for original fuses.

I've encountered this issue before. The Golf 7 has two fuse box locations that are most frequently asked about. The fuse box on the driver's side is right above your left knee - just look down and you'll see a notched plastic cover below the instrument panel. Apply some clever force to pry it open, and you'll find neatly arranged fuses of different colors, each representing different amperage ratings. The engine compartment fuse box is located near the windshield - that black plastic box next to the battery. Unclip it to reveal more fuses. I recommend turning off the ignition before replacing any fuse, and always replace with the original specifications. When cleaning the driver's area, don't overlook this small cover as dust accumulation can easily affect electrical contacts.

What to Do If Your Driver's License Has Expired and Not Been Renewed?

If your driver's license has expired, traffic police will impose a fine but no points will be deducted if caught. There is a deadline for renewing your driver's license. If it has been expired for less than a year, you can renew it through the normal process. If it has been expired for one to three years, the license will be revoked, but you can regain it by passing the written test (Subject 1). If it has been expired for more than three years, the license will be revoked. Article 57 of the 'Traffic Regulations and Penalty Points Rules' states: A motor vehicle driver shall apply for renewal at the vehicle management office of the issuing authority or elsewhere within 90 days before the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license. Remedial measures for expired and unrenewed licenses: Stop driving on the road: Avoid being penalized for driving without a license. Handle traffic violations: Visit the vehicle management office or traffic police station to complete this. Get a nearby medical examination: The main checks include color blindness identification, limb integrity, and corrected vision. You can choose the medical examination hall at the vehicle management office, a manual examination room, a community hospital (with medical examination qualifications), or a convenient medical examination service station. The results will be uploaded to the traffic management system. If the license has been expired for over a year, you will need to prepare for the Subject 1 test. Before preparing, report to the vehicle management office, explain the situation to the staff, and then schedule the Subject 1 test. When applying, you should fill out an application form and submit the following documents: the motor vehicle driver's identity proof, the motor vehicle driver's license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regiment level or above. For those applying for a special small automatic transmission passenger vehicle for the disabled, a medical condition certificate issued by a specialized medical institution designated by the provincial health authority must be submitted. Materials required for renewing the driver's license: original ID card and its copy, a qualified medical examination form from a hospital designated by the vehicle management office, three one-inch white-background color photos, a completed driver's license renewal application form, and the processing fee. Photos and medical examination reports required for renewal can be brought by yourself. If you are worried about them not meeting the requirements, you can process them directly at the traffic police station's license office to save time. Relevant matters for renewing an expired driver's license: About renewal: For annual review and renewal of an expired driver's license, the old license must be surrendered to the vehicle management office. Before renewal, all traffic violations related to the license must be resolved; otherwise, the application will not be accepted. Renewal of a motor vehicle driver's license can be done through the mobile app 'Traffic Management 12123' or via the vehicle management office, traffic management department, or public security authorities, effectively renewing the motor vehicle driver's license.

Can You Take Shelter in a Car During a Thunderstorm?

It is safe to stay inside a car during a thunderstorm. A car provides good protection during lightning weather, and there's no need to worry because the metal body of the car acts as a shield against lightning. Therefore, keeping the windows closed ensures safety inside the vehicle. Here is some relevant information: Electrostatic Induction Phenomenon: When an uncharged conductor is placed in an electric field, the free charges within the conductor move under the influence of the field, resulting in one end of the conductor becoming positively charged and the other end negatively charged. This is known as electrostatic induction. Related Principle: When a charged cloud approaches a car on the ground, the car's metal body induces opposite charges on its surface due to electrostatic induction. The car reaches electrostatic equilibrium, resulting in a zero electric field inside the vehicle. The potential at all points inside the car is equal, with zero potential difference, making it an equipotential body. Of course, if a car is struck by a powerful lightning bolt, it may cause some damage, such as a tire blowout, but the people inside the car will not be struck by lightning.

What Causes Both High and Low Beams to Suddenly Stop Working?

There are many possible reasons for a car's headlights to stop working, including: burnt-out bulbs, overheating wires, damaged relays or combination switches, open/short/circuit wiring, blown fuses, and poor circuit connections. The first step should be to check if the fuse is intact, as sudden headlight failure is most commonly caused by a blown bulb fuse. Here's some relevant information: Inspection method: When headlights stop working, check for cracks in the front headlight covers. While surface cracks may not immediately affect lighting performance, moisture can seep through these cracks into the lamp housing, which will inevitably reduce bulb lifespan. Important note: Many drivers prefer honking when overtaking on highways. However, at higher speeds, engine and wind noise make it difficult for preceding vehicles to hear horns, especially large trucks. Instead of honking when overtaking, it's more effective to flick the high beams several times by pulling the light stalk upward to alert the vehicle ahead.

Is it okay if it rains half an hour after waxing?

It's fine. Normally, after waxing a car for 30-60 minutes, the wax will dry and the car can be exposed to rain. The main purpose of waxing is to protect against the erosion of rainwater and acid rain, so it's best to perform the waxing in good weather conditions. Here is some relevant information: Waxing: Waxing is just the most basic protective measure in car care, so the protection doesn't last very long. Generally, after two or three weeks, the effect of waxing will mostly disappear. If you want longer-lasting protection, you can opt for glazing or even crystal coating to protect the car's paint. Glazing usually provides protection for about three to four months, while crystal coating can last for about a year. Precautions: New cars should not be waxed casually because the paint layer of a new car already has a protective wax. Waxing too early can remove the original wax on the new car's surface, causing unnecessary waste. Generally, there's no need to rush to wax a new car within five months of purchase.

Should the car cover be removed on windy days?

It is best not to use a car cover, as the friction between the cover and the car can cause more damage to the vehicle. Here is some relevant information: Car cover: Commonly known as a car garment, it is an outer cover made of canvas or other flexible and wear-resistant materials according to the car's dimensions, serving as a protective accessory for the vehicle. It provides good protection for the car's paint and windows, especially for high-end cars. Regular use of a car cover can extend the lifespan of the paint, keeping it shiny and new. Functions of a car cover: Besides cleaning and sun protection, a car cover also has excellent water-repellent properties, preventing damage from freezing in extremely cold weather; effectively protecting the car from falling objects, fireworks, and other accidental factors; and providing security against theft of the vehicle and its accessories. However, the use of a car cover should be moderate. Owners without parking spaces should definitely have one, but it should not be used every day even if available.
