Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Pressure and Boiling Point
| The boiling point given in tables for a liquid is always
referenced to an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar (14.5 psi). If
the pressure acting on a fluid changes, its boiling point also
changes. |
| For example, water boils at a lower temperature the lower
the pressure. |
| The vapor pressure curves for water and refrigerant R134a
show that, at constant pressure, reducing the temperature
changes vapor to liquid (in the condenser) or that reducing the
pressure causes the refrigerant to change from liquid to vapor
(evaporator). |

Run-Flat Tire, General Information
Run-flat tires have a reinforced sidewall in comparison to
standard tires. This reduces the tendency for the sidewall to
roll when there is a loss of pressure and prevents the sides of
the tire from being pinched. This allows the vehicle to be
driven whi ...

Information on the brakes
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings New brake pads cannot generate
the full braking effect during the first 200 to 300 km and must first be run in
. However, you can compensate for the slightly reduced braking force
by applying more pressure to the bra ...
