Where is the radiator of the Lavida located?
2 Answers
Lavida's radiator is located in the engine compartment, specifically in front of the engine. You can see it by opening the front hood. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is the main component of the automobile cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat - the coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release heat, then returns to the water jacket to complete the circulation, achieving temperature regulation. The Lavida is Shanghai Volkswagen's first independently developed A-segment car. This model features a more sporty interior design style, with the striking black-and-silver color scheme. The central locking and electric mirror adjustment controls are integrated on the door panel, maintaining a design style very close to Volkswagen's traditional approach. The mirrors offer comprehensive functions including heating and automatic folding. The multifunction steering wheel buttons also follow Volkswagen's consistent layout - left side for volume control and right side for menu and Bluetooth phone adjustment.
When you open the hood of the Lavida and look towards the front of the car, the coolant reservoir is located at the very front, right next to the grille. Whenever I add coolant to my car, I always look for this obvious spot—it's a rectangular plastic container with a round pressure valve cap on top. Remember to only operate when the engine is cool; last time I wasn’t careful and almost got scalded—high-temperature coolant spraying out can be really dangerous. Also, when washing the car, take a moment to clean leaves and dead bugs from the radiator fins to improve cooling efficiency.
