The Golf R does comply with the China 6 emission standard. The China 6 standard, officially known as the National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Light-Duty Vehicles, is established to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. The Golf R is a compact car with dimensions of 4296mm in length, 1788mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2636mm. This model is equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system, utilizing a multi-plate clutch-type center differential. The front suspension of the Golf R features a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.

I remember back in 2021 when the new Golf R was released, it directly met the China 6 emission standards. My colleague who got the 8th-gen R-line last year had it labeled as China 6b, and I heard it still maintains 320 horsepower despite having a particulate filter installed. Registering it now is completely fine. For those buying used China 5 vehicles, be aware that some cities have emission restrictions for vehicle transfers, so it's best to check the local DMV regulations.

Hey, last time at the 4S dealership, the salesperson mentioned that all current Golf R models meet China 6 emission standards. The main upgrades include the three-way catalytic converter and engine programming. Although the exhaust note isn't as loud as before, the acceleration remains thrilling. For imported versions, the emission label is placed below the right B-pillar, while for domestically assembled ones, checking the environmental compliance list is most accurate. For parallel imports, it's crucial to verify the emission standard noted on the customs clearance documents.

As an owner of the 7.5 generation model, I can confirm that the current models sold at 4S dealerships are all China VI compliant versions. The most noticeable change is the exhaust pipe equipped with a sensor probe, and the cold-start exhaust is less pungent than in older models. However, be cautious with pre-2021 used China V vehicles, as they may face relocation restrictions in major cities. It's safest to check local policies before purchasing.

Recently researched, the 8th generation Golf R fully complies with China 6b emission standards. After optimizing the transmission logic, fuel consumption has decreased by approximately 0.8L. The particulate filter rarely clogs above 3,000 rpm. During vehicle inspection, check item 15 on the Vehicle Conformity Certificate for the emission standard code - China 6 vehicles are marked GB18352.6-2016. For parallel imports, verify if they've passed environmental disclosure.

Is it better to use 92 or 95 octane fuel for the Touran?

The Volkswagen Touran 1.4T uses 92 octane, while the 1.8T uses 95 octane. These fuel grades are recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate fuel grade in the user manual, the Touran's fuel cap will also indicate the recommended grade. You can also determine the fuel grade based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane, those between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane, and those with higher compression ratios should use 98 octane. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the fuel grade, as high-compression engines can be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the fuel grade, the higher the octane rating and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane fuel contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane fuel contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If you accidentally use the wrong fuel grade in the Touran, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, long-term use of the wrong fuel grade can have the following effects: Using a higher octane fuel in a vehicle designed for lower octane will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Using a lower octane fuel in a vehicle designed for higher octane can cause engine knocking. The lower octane rating reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, resistance occurs during the upward stroke, making the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

How to Repair Peeling Clear Coat on Car Surface?

Check the size of the area where the clear coat has peeled off. If the area is small, you can handle it yourself using common DIY methods. If the area is large, take it to an auto repair shop.

What does LO mean on car air conditioning?

LO on car air conditioning refers to the lowest temperature setting of the car's AC, and it can indicate two situations: 1. It means the AC is currently cooling rather than heating, with the cooling intensity further adjustable via different settings; 2. If the AC can display temperature values but currently only shows LO, it indicates maximum cooling. Some AC units may also display Hi or Me, representing high or medium temperature, respectively. LO stands for LOW, and HI stands for HIGH. Correct usage of car air conditioning: 1. The blue button on the left side of the car represents cold air, the red one represents warm air, and the middle one represents moderate temperature; 2. To activate cold air, adjust the left button towards the blue area. For warm air, adjust it towards the red area and press the AC switch. The middle button controls the fan speed, while the rightmost button adjusts the mode, allowing you to direct airflow to the feet, hands, windshield, or a combination of these; 3. The white line on the left adjusts the temperature. If it feels too warm, adjust it to the middle. To turn off the AC without shutting down the system, simply turn off the middle fan.
