VW Golf & Jetta Service and Repair Manual

Roadside repairs

The following pages are intended to help in dealing with common roadside emergencies and breakdowns. You will find more detailed fault finding information at the back of the manual, and repair information in the main chapters.

If your car won’t start and the starter motor doesn’t turn

  • If it’s a model with automatic transmission, make sure the selector is in ‘P’ or ‘N’.
  • Open the bonnet and make sure that the battery terminals are clean and tight.
  • Switch on the headlights and try to start the engine. If the headlights go very dim when you’re trying to start, the battery is probably flat. Get out of trouble by jump starting (see next page) using a friend’s car.

If your car won’t start even though the starter motor turns as normal

  • Is there fuel in the tank?

FRONT SEATS

Pull the lever*1 up and hold it while you slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position. Release the lever to lock the seat in position.

Reclining:
To recline the seatback, pull the lever*2 up and lean back. To bring the seatback forward, pull the lever up and lean your body forward. Release the lever to lock the seatback in position.

Pull up or push down the adjusting lever to adjust the seat height until the desired position is achieved.

Car Wash Industry – New Investor’s Guide

Why invest in the car wash industry?

Owning a car wash can be a profitable investment for several factors. Here are a few reasons many invest in a car wash:

  • Relative autonomy – At a self-serve or automatic car wash, either the customer or equipment performs the labor, thereby eliminating the need for many employees. Generally, it only takes one or two workers to maintain and clean a site throughout busier parts of the day to keep the operation running smoothly.
  • Easy to manage – from an operator’s standpoint, a car wash is relatively easy to run in that there are few personnel issues, minimal product inventories, and few maintenance requirements. Additionally, cash flow is not a problem in that there are no accounts receivable or personal checks.
  • Low cost – A car wash has low direct operating costs, and fixed costs, such as insurance and bookkeeping, are minimal.
