BYD does not consume much fuel. The relationship between fuel consumption and engine speed: The higher the engine speed, the greater the power and utilization rate, and the smaller the unit fuel consumption. Therefore, the fuel consumption of the car is higher at low speeds. 2. In order to master the economical driving speed while driving, the driver should learn to use the engine speedometer and speedometer, appropriately increase or decrease the throttle opening, and keep the engine working within the 30% to 70% speed range according to road conditions. The relationship between fuel consumption and air conditioning cooling system: Use the air conditioning cooling system reasonably. When the speed is below 85 km/h, you can turn off the air conditioning cooling system and open the windows for ventilation as needed; but when the speed is above 85 km/h, you should make full use of the air conditioning cooling system and do not open the windows. Because at high speeds, the fuel consumed by the increased wind resistance after opening the windows is more than the fuel consumed by the air conditioning cooling system.

Is BYD fuel-consuming? It depends on the specific model. As a BYD owner who has driven the Qin DM-i for over two years, I find it quite fuel-efficient for daily commuting, with an average fuel consumption of around 4.5L/100km—a world of difference compared to my previous gasoline car. For instance, in urban traffic jams, the DM-i system automatically switches to electric mode, where the engine hardly works, reducing fuel consumption to below 3L. On highways, consumption remains low at about 5L+. Key tips include maintaining proper tire pressure and regular oil changes to keep the car in good condition for better efficiency. Overall, BYD's hybrid series is truly not fuel-consuming and offers great value for money.

What are the effects of a damaged PVC valve?

If the PVC valve is damaged, it can cause poor ventilation in the crankcase, leading to high pressure. This high pressure can reduce the sealing between the cylinder walls and pistons. During the intake stroke, this high pressure is compressed into even higher pressure, forcing some engine oil from the cylinder walls through the tiny gaps between the cylinder walls and pistons into the combustion chamber, where it participates in combustion. Additional details are as follows: 1. Introduction: PCV stands for the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system. The PCV valve consists of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring, and is non-disassemblable. 2. Components: The PCV system mainly includes ventilation hoses and the PCV valve. Typically, one ventilation hose connects the air cleaner to the valve cover, while another connects the PCV valve to the intake manifold. The PCV valve consists of a plunger-type valve and spring, located on one side of the intake manifold. The vacuum level in the intake manifold determines the opening and closing of the PCV valve, as well as the extent of its opening. The degree to which the PCV valve opens or closes, in turn, determines the amount of blow-by gases that are recirculated into the intake manifold for combustion.

At What Temperature Can Tires Melt?

Dry tires have an optimal operating temperature range between 90 to 110 degrees Celsius, and tire warmers are always maintained within this optimal range. Below is relevant information: 1. Tires should not overheat: Excessive temperatures can cause wet tires to behave like old dry tires. Driving speed: The faster a tire travels, the quicker it generates heat, the higher the temperature rises, and the greater the impact force—these factors are directly proportional. Therefore, at high speeds and high temperatures, tread wear accelerates, so it is advisable to choose a reasonable driving speed. 2. Automatic gas expansion in tires: Affected by temperature, the gas inside tires automatically expands, causing tire pressure to rise from 2.3 kg to over 3 kg. To maintain proper tire pressure, it is recommended to fill tires with nitrogen in summer and reduce the filling pressure by 10%.

Why doesn't the Magotan use an electronic gear lever?

The Magotan doesn't use an electronic gear lever because the center console would appear crowded and less premium with the gear lever occupying a large area. Here's an introduction to the Magotan: 1. Overview: The Volkswagen Magotan is closely related to the Passat B6, known as Future B6, and it's the first B-segment sedan to be produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. 2. Features: The Magotan is equipped with a 1.8TSI engine, the latest generation from Volkswagen Germany, which incorporates the most advanced engine technology currently available internationally and leads the development trend of gasoline engines. 3. Exterior: The Magotan's exterior is meticulously designed by German experts, combining the latest fashion elements in car design. Its dynamic and elegant styling represents the newest European automotive design philosophy, featuring a bold V-shaped front grille that exudes stability and sophistication.

What brand and model are the original tires on the Buick Excelle?

The Buick Excelle is equipped with Goodyear ASSURANCE Comfortred series tires for standard models, while the base version uses Giti tires. The tire specifications are 195/65-R15 for the base version and 205/55-R16 for mid-to-high trim models. Notes: 1. Tire replacement cycle: Generally replaced every 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The specific replacement cycle depends on the tire's usage condition, but tires should not be used for more than 6 years regardless of previous usage. 2. Year marking standard: Tires are marked with their production year. Tire performance degrades over time and with usage. When replacing tires, use tires with the same size, speed rating, and load capacity as the original tires.

Will the engine malfunction light come on without maintenance?

Reasons why the engine malfunction light may come on without maintenance: 1. Poor combustion state: Poor combustion state is the main reason for the engine malfunction light to come on. In automotive design, to ensure the engine is in good working condition and maintains a normal working lifespan, oxygen sensors are installed to monitor the engine's combustion state. If the combustion state is poor, it not only pollutes the environment but also leads to fuel waste and excessive engine wear. 2. Poor fuel quality: Many drivers notice that the engine malfunction light suddenly comes on after refueling. This is because the engine has specific requirements for fuel quality, especially as regulations on engines become stricter, demanding higher fuel quality standards. In reality, some gas stations may not fully comply with these standards, leading to frequent occurrences of the engine malfunction light coming on. 3. Dirty engine cylinder interior: Over time, carbon deposits inevitably accumulate inside the engine. These deposits can alter the engine's design parameters and, due to their unstable nature and heat retention, can cause irregular ignition, leading to engine knocking. In such cases, the engine malfunction light will illuminate.
