According to the official vehicle user manual recommendation, the 10th-generation Accord should use 92 octane gasoline, so using 95 octane may lead to increased carbon deposits. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle user manual, the 10th-generation Accord's fuel cap also displays this information. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline due to other influencing factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the 10th-generation Accord occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power and thermal efficiency, with the practical experience being poorer performance; For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without obvious engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

Why does the Audi have a jerking sensation when starting?

Audi's jerking sensation when starting may be due to throttle issues or solenoid valve damage. Below are detailed explanations of the causes and solutions: Throttle issues: All Audi models use electronic throttles. If the throttle opening is too large, the vehicle is prone to jerking when starting, commonly referred to as a 'hesitation' sensation. Solution: Clean the throttle. After cleaning, the vehicle's computer needs to relearn the driver's driving habits. The throttle's primary function is to control air intake, which in turn affects the fuel injection volume. Solenoid valve damage: Solenoid valve damage is a major cause of jerking. If sludge in the transmission fluid circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it can lead to jerking issues. Over time, this can cause a series of transmission problems such as overheating, impact, and slipping. Solution: This issue is difficult to resolve on your own, so it is recommended to visit a professional repair shop for maintenance.

What is the fuel consumption of the Skyworth ME5 when the battery is depleted?

The fuel consumption of the Skyworth ME5 when the battery is depleted is 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Introduction to fuel consumption when the battery is depleted: Battery depletion refers to the situation where the battery in the vehicle's engine compartment cannot reach its normal charge level. Long-term battery depletion indicates that the vehicle's battery has reached its replacement cycle. The fuel consumption of a motor vehicle refers to the amount of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers, which is displayed on the vehicle's dashboard, allowing the driver to have a certain understanding of the fuel consumption during driving. Concept of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since driving at a constant speed is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90Km/h and 120Km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestic cars is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption.

Why is the car very noisy when the air conditioner is turned on?

It could be due to a dirty or stuck throttle valve; abnormal noise from the air conditioning pump; or improper tension of the compressor drive belt. Reasons for abnormal noise from the air conditioner: 1. Dirty or stuck throttle valve: After the air conditioner is turned on, the compressor will also start working, and the compressor is driven by the engine. Therefore, turning on the air conditioner will increase the engine load, which means the engine needs to increase the throttle opening to allow more air intake. When the throttle valve has carbon deposits or is stuck, it can cause engine shaking and abnormal noise. This becomes more noticeable after the air conditioner is turned on. 2. Abnormal noise from the air conditioning pump: There are two main reasons for abnormal noise from the air conditioning pump: the electromagnetic clutch and the bearings inside the air conditioning pump. Noise from the electromagnetic clutch is mainly caused by wear and increased gap, while noise from the air conditioning pump bearings is mainly due to insufficient lubrication. If these issues are not resolved promptly, they can lead to the air conditioning pump burning out and failing to perform cooling work. 3. Improper tension of the compressor drive belt: 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. Improper tension of the drive belt can cause abnormal noise in mild cases and damage the air conditioning compressor in severe cases.
