The Beetle has been discontinued. The reason for its discontinuation is primarily due to its lack of practicality. Despite its unique and adorable design that appeals to many female consumers, the Beetle struggles to meet the modern consumer demands in terms of comfort, cost-effectiveness, and features. This reflects the market principle of survival of the fittest. The last model of the Beetle was the 2019 edition. There were three variants in the 2019 lineup, each with different powertrain specifications. Below are the details: 1. 2019 180TSI Collector's Edition: Powered by a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 77KW and a peak torque of 175N·m. 2. 2019 280TSI Collector's Edition: Equipped with a 1.4T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, producing a maximum power of 110KW and a peak torque of 250N·m. 3. 2019 180TSI Classic Edition: Features a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, coupled with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, offering a maximum power of 77KW and a peak torque of 175N·m.

How to Clean and Disinfect a Car Air Conditioner?

Methods for cleaning a car air conditioner: 1. Cleaning the air filter: (1) The air filter is usually located in the glove compartment on the passenger side, and some may be under the front windshield in the engine compartment. The exact location can be found in the vehicle's user manual. (2) Remove the old filter and clean or replace it. When installing the new filter, make sure to pay attention to the direction of the arrow on the filter; otherwise, it will not only be ineffective but also blow dust into the car. 2. Cleaning the air ducts: (1) Prepare an air conditioner cleaner before cleaning the ducts. (2) Shake the cleaner well before use and attach the included soft tube. Set the air conditioner to the maximum external circulation mode, but do not turn on the compressor (turn off the A/C button). (3) Aim the nozzle of the cleaner at the location of the air filter, and the suction inside will draw the cleaner in to clean the ducts. Be careful not to place the soft tube too close to the blower to prevent it from being sucked in. (4) After spraying the cleaner, let the air conditioner run in external circulation mode for 10 minutes. Ensure the engine is idling during this process to avoid draining the battery. The cleaner will foam and turn into liquid, cleaning the evaporator and ducts before draining out of the vehicle. 3. Cleaning the condenser: (1) The air conditioner condenser is located at the front of the vehicle. This step can be simple or complicated. (2) The simple method is to rinse it lightly with water, but avoid using a high-pressure water spray. (3) The complicated method involves removing the condenser for cleaning. It is recommended to have this done at a professional cleaning or repair shop.

What is the normal cylinder pressure for a car?

For a normal four-cylinder engine, the cylinder pressure should not be below 7 bar. Below is relevant information about car engine cylinder pressure: 1. Cylinder pressure varies among different vehicle series: Japanese cars generally have cylinder pressure around 1100KPa (approximately 10 bar), while European and American cars range between 1200-1300KPa (approximately 12-13 bar). 2. Causes of insufficient cylinder pressure: Cooling system leakage leading to water shortage and engine overheating; Piston ring breakage, piston pin retainer detachment, or piston pin protrusion causing cylinder wall scraping; Piston rings stuck in grooves due to excessive carbon deposits, losing sealing effectiveness; Foreign objects entering the cylinder.

What is the difference between China VI and China V?

The difference between China VI and China V lies in the fact that China VI vehicles use a more efficient three-way catalytic converter, enabling the engine's exhaust emissions to meet the China VI standard. Below are the relevant details about the China VI and China V automotive emission standards: 1. China VI standard emission limits: China VI A: Carbon monoxide 700mg/km, Non-methane hydrocarbons 68mg/km, Nitrogen oxides 60mg/km, PM fine particles 4.5mg/km, etc.; China VI B: Carbon monoxide 500mg/km, Non-methane hydrocarbons 35mg/km, Nitrogen oxides 35mg/km, PM fine particles 3mg/km, etc. 2. China V standard emission limits: The carbon monoxide emission per kilometer driven must not exceed 1000 milligrams; The non-methane hydrocarbons emission per kilometer driven must not exceed 68 milligrams; The nitrogen oxides emission per kilometer driven must not exceed 60 milligrams; The PM fine particles emission per kilometer driven must not exceed 4.5 milligrams.

What Causes Excessive Engine Exhaust?

Excessive engine exhaust is caused by excessive wear of piston rings or cylinder liners. Below is relevant information about engine exhaust: 1. Principle of exhaust generation: During engine operation, the cylinder inhales a large amount of natural mixture gas which combines with fuel and undergoes piston compression before combustion, thus producing exhaust. 2. Effects of excessive exhaust: If the wear between piston rings and cylinder liners is severe, it will lead to poor sealing between the piston and cylinder liner. The engine may experience insufficient power and could potentially emit blue smoke.
