There are several reasons why the Passat's air conditioning is very noisy: Faulty compressor electromagnetic clutch: Since the compressor often operates under high load and changes speed from low to high, the requirements for the electromagnetic clutch are very high. The installation position of the electromagnetic clutch is mostly close to the ground and often comes into contact with rainwater and mud. When the bearing inside the electromagnetic clutch is damaged, it will cause noise. Improper tension of the compressor drive belt: If the compressor drive belt is too tight or too loose, it will affect the lifespan of the electromagnetic clutch. If the drive belt is too loose, the electromagnetic clutch is prone to slipping. If the drive belt is too tight, the load on the electromagnetic clutch will increase.

Do Hatchback Cars Have a Trunk?

Hatchback cars do have a trunk. The front part of a hatchback is no different from that of a sedan, and its function is the same. The difference lies in the fact that the hatchback extends the passenger compartment approximately to the same height towards the rear, integrating the rear luggage compartment with the passenger compartment, thus reducing it to two compartments: the engine compartment and the passenger compartment. When the rear seats of a hatchback are folded down flat, it provides a much larger cargo space than a sedan, which can be used to transport many large household appliances and household items. The trunk volume of a sedan cannot be changed, making it almost impossible to carry large items, which limits the convenience of the car. The trunk, also known as the luggage compartment, measures a car's ability to carry luggage or other spare items based on its volume.
