The washer fuse in the Tiguan is located in the fuse box in the engine compartment, which can be seen upon opening. The fuse, also known as a current fuse, primarily serves as an overload protection device. When properly installed in a circuit, the fuse will melt and cut off the current when it rises abnormally to a certain level and temperature, ensuring the safe operation of the circuit. The Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering outstanding performance in both power and fuel efficiency. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, the power is more effectively utilized, offering robust performance while maintaining environmentally friendly emissions. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Tiguan are 4506 mm in length, 1809 mm in width, and 1685 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2684 mm.

The washer fuse of the Tiguan is usually located in the fuse box above the driver's left foot. Just squat down and lift the plastic cover to see it. Last time when I was washing my car, the washer suddenly stopped working. After checking the manual, I found it was an issue with fuse No. 42. This little thing is specifically responsible for the windshield washer nozzles, appearing as a 30A blue square. Before replacing it with a spare fuse, remember to turn off the engine, remove the key, and use a dedicated fuse puller for the operation. If you don't have a spare, the car's cigarette lighter fuse can serve as a temporary replacement. By the way, a reminder: don't use tap water as windshield washer fluid in winter, as freezing and forcing it to spray is the easiest way to blow a fuse.

What is the ground clearance of the Focus?

The unladen ground clearance of the Focus is 130mm, while the laden ground clearance is 120mm, and it reduces to 90mm with a skid plate installed. Below is some relevant knowledge about ground clearance: 1. Smaller ground clearance: The smaller the ground clearance, the poorer the vehicle's ability to overcome obstacles. Regarding minimum ground clearance, previous standards had a mandatory requirement of approximately 150~160mm, but this requirement has been removed in current standards. 2. Larger ground clearance: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the better the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but it also results in a higher center of gravity, which reduces stability.

What are the symptoms of a damaged carbon canister solenoid valve in a Focus?

Here are the specific symptoms of a damaged carbon canister solenoid valve in a Focus: 1. Difficult engine starting (solenoid valve stuck open): Since the solenoid valve remains constantly open, the intake manifold will be filled with fuel vapors. During engine startup, an overly rich air-fuel mixture will cause starting difficulties or even stalling. 2. Fuel vapor leakage (solenoid valve stuck closed): When the solenoid valve remains constantly closed, the fuel vapors stored in the carbon canister cannot be purged. This leads to increased fuel tank pressure, eventually causing fuel vapors to escape through the tank cap's pressure relief valve.

What does AMB mean in cars?

AMB in cars refers to switching between outdoor temperature and air conditioning temperature, where AMB represents the external ambient temperature signal. Cars are equipped with external temperature sensors, and when using automatic air conditioning, these sensors automatically detect the outdoor temperature and adjust the interior temperature accordingly, ensuring a consistently comfortable environment inside the vehicle. During the operation of automatic air conditioning, the system automatically regulates the airflow, humidity, and temperature inside the car. Once the occupants set a desired temperature, the automatic air conditioning system adjusts the air vents and fan speed based on signals from various sensors, maintaining an optimal air environment within the vehicle.

What's the matter with the Focus not starting?

There may be a problem with the engine. The following describes common starting faults in cars: 1. Idling operation problems: It may be unstable idling, engine shaking, idling speed exceeding the upper limit, idling speed lower than the lower limit, or rough idling. These phenomena are related to faults or poor operation of components such as the injector, oxygen sensor, air flow sensor, and exhaust gas recirculation valve. 2. Abnormal exhaust pipe smoke: There may be black smoke, white smoke, or blue smoke. Black smoke indicates an overly rich mixture, related to defects in the fuel supply, air distribution, mechanical, or electronic control system; white smoke indicates excessive water in the fuel; blue smoke indicates oil burning.

How Does a Parking Sensor Judge Distance?

Parking sensors determine distance through sound waves. A parking sensor system consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display. It operates on the principle of ultrasonic distance measurement. Under the control of the controller, the sensors emit ultrasonic signals. When these signals encounter an obstacle, they generate echo signals. The sensors receive these echo signals, which are then processed by the controller to determine the obstacle's position. The distance is displayed on the screen, and a warning signal is issued. The primary function of parking sensors is to automatically activate during reversing, allowing the driver to know if there are obstacles behind the vehicle without turning their head. This alerts the driver to brake promptly or reduce reversing speed, helping to prevent accidents.
