The cabin air filter in the Volkswagen Jetta is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment near the center console. Additional information: 1. To replace the cabin air filter, first open the glove compartment cover. Locate the fixing clip on the right side of the glove compartment and pull it outward firmly. Remove the fixing clip of the glove compartment cover to detach it. Squeeze both sides of the glove compartment towards the center with both hands, and the glove compartment can then be removed. Once the glove compartment is removed, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Press firmly on the fixing clips on both sides of the cover to remove it. Pull the old cabin air filter outward. Install the new cabin air filter and reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly (note the installation direction of the cabin air filter). 2. The cabin air filter is used to filter the quality of indoor or outdoor intake air. The engine air filter, on the other hand, refers to the engine intake system, which filters the quality of the engine intake air. Their functions are different. Generally, the replacement cycle for the engine air filter is based on air quality and mileage, while the replacement cycle for the cabin air filter is once a year or every 20,000 kilometers.

Is 12L per 100km considered high fuel consumption?

12L per 100km is not considered high fuel consumption. Reasons for high car fuel consumption: 1. Temperature effects causing fuel consumption fluctuations: Generally in winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption increases somewhat, almost comparable to fuel consumption when using air conditioning in summer. 2. Lack of vehicle maintenance over time: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty oil results in poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts, requiring more energy to overcome this resistance, thus increasing fuel consumption. 3. Spark plugs needing replacement: Once spark plugs reach the end of their lifespan, although they can still function, they may cause delayed ignition due to insufficient energy, missing the optimal ignition timing. 4. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, increasing friction and thus driving resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.

What Causes Squeaking Noises from Car Wheels?

Car wheels produce abnormal noises for the following reasons: Swing Arm Ball Joint: If the lower swing arm ball joint is loose with excessive clearance, abnormal noises will occur when the car bumps. Aging Plastic Components: If the stabilizer bar bushings are loose with excessive clearance, abnormal noises will also be produced. Damaged Shock Absorber: A damaged shock absorber can also cause abnormal noises when the car passes over uneven roads. Although shock absorbers have a relatively long service life, they are still a vulnerable part of the car. If the driving environment is poor or the car is frequently driven aggressively, damage or oil leakage is inevitable. If the buffer rubber has aged, replacing the rubber is sufficient. If the shock absorber is damaged or leaking, the shock absorber needs to be replaced.

What is the function of a car's high-mounted brake light?

The function of a car's high-mounted brake light is to alert vehicles behind, thereby preventing rear-end collisions. The high-mounted brake light is generally installed at the upper part of the rear of the vehicle, making it easier for following vehicles to notice when the front vehicle brakes, thus helping to avoid rear-end accidents. Since most cars already have two brake lights installed at the left and right ends of the rear, the high-mounted brake light is also referred to as the third brake light, high-mounted stop lamp, or third stop lamp. Vehicles without a high-mounted brake light, especially low-chassis cars and microcars, may have rear brake lights that are positioned too low and often not bright enough. This can make it difficult for drivers of following vehicles, particularly those in taller vehicles like trucks, buses, and coaches, to see clearly, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions.

Why Do Spark Plugs Need to Be Replaced?

Reasons for replacing spark plugs: Long-term failure to replace spark plugs can lead to carbon buildup, which is harmful to the engine. Spark plugs operate in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. After a period of use, part of the electrodes will be eroded, the electrode gap will increase, and the electrodes will oxidize, all of which will shorten the lifespan of the spark plug until it can no longer produce a spark and must be discarded. Spark plugs are made of materials such as nickel alloy, iridium, platinum, and iridium-platinum alloy. Nickel alloy spark plugs need to be replaced approximately every 20,000 kilometers; platinum spark plugs should be replaced around 40,000 kilometers; iridium spark plugs can last between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers before needing replacement. The specific replacement interval for spark plugs can be referenced from the manufacturer's maintenance manual, which provides recommended replacement cycles.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co 05 PHEV?

Lynk & Co 05 PHEV has a fuel consumption of 1.4L per 100 kilometers. The actual fuel consumption may vary slightly depending on individual driving habits and skills. A smoother driving style generally results in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving habits such as frequent acceleration and overtaking at high RPMs can increase fuel consumption appropriately. Here are some methods to save fuel: 1. Maintain a steady speed: Control your speed while driving and avoid sudden braking. 2. Avoid opening windows at high speeds: Opening windows at high speeds increases fuel consumption. 3. Regularly check tire pressure: Ensure the tire pressure is correct, as both underinflation and overinflation can increase fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to check tire pressure periodically. 4. Pay attention to transmission maintenance: Always use the correct transmission fluid for your vehicle. Transmission fluid not only lubricates but also helps transmit torque, so it should be replaced regularly.

How Many Years Can Winter Tires Be Used?

Winter tires can be used for 5 years, taking into account the factor of rubber aging. The degree of tire aging is significantly influenced by objective factors such as storage environment, temperature, and placement. For winter tires older than 5 years, if they continue to be used, in addition to routine inspections and maintaining proper tire pressure, they should be checked annually to determine if they can still be safely used. If the tire wears down to the 1.6 mm tread wear indicator, it means the tire needs to be replaced. Winter tires are specifically designed for snowy conditions in winter, so when driven under other climate conditions, they will differ from regular all-season tires in terms of comfort, handling, noise, and other aspects. Therefore, when the weather warms up in spring, it is advisable to switch back to all-season tires and store the winter tires properly.
