VIDEO: What's under the hood?

Take a look under the hood

If you have ever wondered what is actually under the bonnet, then the following description may help you.

• So that you can answer the question of what is actually under the bonnet, you have to open it first. One part that even laypeople should recognize immediately is the oil dipstick. This stick is usually color-coded and you can use this stick to see whether your car still has enough oil.
• Then you should also know where to fill the liquid for your windshield wiper system. You can usually find this container on the left or right of the side. They are almost always transparent plastic containers with a windshield wiper depicted on the lid.
• When it comes to the question of what is actually under the bonnet, you might also be interested in where you can top up oil in an emergency when the oil dipstick shows minimally. The oil filler cap is usually located in the middle of your engine block and has a black safety cap.

What's hidden under the hood?

• So that your engine is properly cooled, you will find a radiator under your hood. You can also screw on the cooler and should always have enough water and frost protection. You can recognize the cooler by the fact that a small fan blade is placed behind it.

Changing the battery in the Golf 4 - this is how it works

If the battery of your Golf 4 runs out, you can replace it with a new one.

• An important part of answering your question about what's under the hood could be the battery. In small cars and older cars, you can usually find the battery on the left side or on the right side of the fender. You can recognize it by the fact that two power cables lead away from it, a plus and a minus pole.
• If your battery is empty, you will have to use the two brackets on the battery unscrew and, after you have also loosened the poles, you can easily lift the battery pull out.

When removing your battery, make sure that the two poles do not touch.
