Where is the keyhole of the Magotan?
2 Answers
The keyhole of the Magotan is located behind the plastic decorative cover, and it is designed in a concealed form. You can see the keyhole by removing the decorative cover. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category with body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, a wheelbase of 2871mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a curb weight of 1445kg. The 2020 Magotan features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan for several years, and the keyhole is usually located on the lower right side of the steering wheel, right near the steering column. If you've bought a newer model with keyless start, there's often a small round plastic cover there—smooth to the touch—that you'll need to gently pry open with your finger or key to reveal the hole. I remember when the battery in my first Magotan suddenly died; I was frantic in the dark garage and almost called for help. Thankfully, I eventually found the spot by fumbling around. Since then, I've advised new owners to familiarize themselves with its exact location to avoid being caught off guard in emergencies. During normal driving, the hole is quite discreet but reasonably designed for easy access. Regular cleaning is also crucial, as dust buildup can make the key hard to turn, affecting daily convenience.
