I've always considered the Wuling Journey to be a practical vehicle, mainly used for cargo hauling or family trips. As someone who has driven many models, I found that the Wuling Journey's transmission configuration is primarily manual—a 5-speed manual transmission paired with either a 1.8L or 1.5T engine, delivering quick response, fuel efficiency, and affordable maintenance. An automatic version? Honestly, it's quite rare among the mainstream variants, likely because Wuling aims to control costs and keep prices budget-friendly. If you need an automatic transmission, I'd suggest checking out other MPVs like the Baojun 730 or Changan Oushang, which offer automatic options for a more relaxed driving experience. While manual transmissions are great, shifting gears in heavy traffic can be tiring.

I've paid attention to the Wuling Journey because it's affordable, practical, and spacious, but most models come with manual transmission. As a car enthusiast, driving a manual in the city is indeed thrilling—quick acceleration and low fuel consumption. However, dealing with the clutch in traffic jams can be annoying. If you prioritize the convenience of automatic transmission, the Journey might not be the best choice. Similar MPVs from brands like BYD or Geely offer automatic transmissions for a more comfortable drive. Wuling has always focused on economy—will they introduce an automatic version in the future? Hard to say, but market trends are changing, so keep an eye out for updates on new models.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the old Jetta model?

2016 old Jetta model has only 1 variant with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and all variants come with a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 Excelle has a fuel tank capacity of 44 liters, the 2022 Lavida has 51 liters, and the 2021 Corolla has 50 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit level, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow fuel expansion when temperature rises without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity. If owners want to check the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel level, and when it's close to F, it means sufficient fuel.

What are the solutions for electronic parking brake malfunctions?

When the electronic parking brake system malfunctions, it is necessary to go to a repair shop to read the fault codes with a decoder, and then carry out repairs based on the fault codes to resolve the issue. Here is some information about the electronic parking brake: 1. The electronic parking function is developed from the ESP module. During the parking process, the ECU uses sensors installed on the vehicle to determine the levelness of the vehicle body and the torque required for wheel braking, deciding whether to apply the brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling. 2. With the electronic parking brake, the braking force applied to the wheels is not very strong, just enough to prevent the wheels from moving, so that when the accelerator is pressed again to move forward, the vehicle does not lurch forward.

How Long Does a Thermostat Last?

The general replacement cycle for a thermostat is around 50,000 kilometers. Therefore, based on an annual mileage of 20,000 kilometers, the typical lifespan of a thermostat is approximately 2-3 years. Below are detailed specifications about the thermostat: 1. The function of the thermostat is to control the coolant's circulation between large and small loops. When the thermostat is open, the coolant undergoes a large loop circulation; when closed, it undergoes a small loop circulation. (1) The flow path of the large loop is: water jacket → thermostat main valve → radiator upper water chamber → cooling tube → radiator lower water chamber → water pump inlet → water pump → water jacket. (2) The flow path of the small loop is: water jacket → thermostat bypass hole → bypass pipe → water pump inlet → water pump → water jacket. In general terms, circulation that passes through the radiator is considered a large loop, while circulation that bypasses the radiator is a small loop. 2. If the thermostat is damaged and stuck in the closed position, only the small loop circulation can occur. In hot summer conditions, since the coolant does not undergo the large loop circulation through the radiator, the water temperature will be significantly higher. Some vehicle owners may remove the thermostat to maintain continuous large loop circulation. The impacts of a damaged thermostat include: first, incomplete combustion in the vehicle; second, excessive heat dissipation.

How to adjust the headlights of Wuling Hongguang?

There is a headlight height adjustment knob below the left side of the steering wheel, which can be used to adjust the headlights. Here are some tips on headlight usage: 1. Avoid using high beams when driving in the city: Urban areas generally have good lighting conditions. The high angle of high beams can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, affecting their vision, which is unsafe and considered impolite driving behavior. 2. Alternate high beams at night: This can be used instead of the horn to alert pedestrians and vehicles around you, avoiding excessive noise. 3. Use low beams when driving at low speeds at night: This can help reduce fuel consumption.

What are the causes of engine shaking at idle?

The main causes of engine shaking at idle are as follows: 1. Dirty throttle body: Excessive dirt on the throttle valve reduces the intake air volume in the intake manifold. When the air intake fails to meet the normal air-fuel ratio, it causes engine shaking. 2. Excessive carbon deposits inside the engine: Prolonged use of the engine leads to excessive internal carbon buildup, resulting in engine shaking. 3. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils: Failure to replace spark plugs for an extended period causes excessive electrode gap, affecting ignition timing. This not only causes engine shaking but also increases fuel consumption. 4. Clogged fuel lines or injectors: A dirty fuel filter causes unstable fuel pressure, poor injector atomization, and incomplete combustion. The above conditions will lead to engine shaking.
