Lamando's regular maintenance cycle is every 5,000 kilometers. The maintenance intervals for most components are the same for both 1.4T and 1.8T models. The first maintenance for a new Lamando should be performed when the vehicle reaches 5,000 kilometers, followed by regular maintenance every 10,000 kilometers thereafter. Below is an introduction to the first maintenance of a vehicle: 1. The first maintenance refers to the initial servicing of a vehicle. Generally, new cars require maintenance at either 3 months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. 2. The first maintenance does not require replacing many parts, as the vehicle has just passed the break-in period. Therefore, it mainly involves checking the break-in condition of the vehicle and some routine inspections, which do not take much time. 3. The primary purpose of the first maintenance is to perform preventive work on the vehicle's components, also known as routine vehicle maintenance. It typically involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, followed by a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle.

As a seasoned driver with five cars under my belt, I got my first maintenance for the Lamando within six months of purchase or around 5,000 km, and I recommend going to the 4S shop for an early check. I almost missed the warranty deadline the first time by procrastinating, but after sticking to the schedule, the car ran much smoother. This cycle is common for Volkswagen models, but always check the user manual or consult the sales advisor—don’t rely on memory alone to avoid mishaps. During maintenance, they mainly change the oil and filter while checking brakes and tire pressure—it’s a small cost but ensures proper engine lubrication. I’ve found that regular first maintenance helps prevent carbon buildup and extends the car’s lifespan, even saving on fuel amid high gas prices. Newbies should set reminders—don’t be as careless as I was initially. Safety is no trivial matter.

Does the Auto Start-Stop Function Damage the Engine?

Engine auto start-stop does not harm the engine, but it has a greater impact on the starter motor and battery. Here are the detailed explanations: Reasons why auto start-stop does not damage the engine: The engine auto start-stop is mainly used for brief stops, such as waiting at traffic lights. During this time, the engine temperature is normal, and the oil and various lubrication systems are also in normal condition, so the wear on the engine is negligible. Impact of auto start-stop on the starter motor and battery: The starter motor experiences increased wear during frequent starts, which reduces its lifespan. Additionally, it places a significant load on the vehicle's battery, so regular checks of the starter motor and battery are necessary.

What are the precautions for using car batteries?

Precautions for using car batteries are as follows: 1. Keep it clean: Always keep the battery clean and dry, and ensure the vent holes are unobstructed. When oxides appear on the plates or clamps, wipe them clean and apply a small amount of grease to prevent corrosion. 2. Avoid continuous use of the starter: Each use should not exceed 5 seconds, with a rest of 10-15 seconds between two starts. In severe winter, the battery discharge level should not exceed 25%, and in summer, it should not exceed 50%. 3. Regular charging: A battery filled with electrolyte should not be left in a state of insufficient charge for a long time and should be charged regularly, otherwise it may lead to scrapping. 4. Charging standards: When charging the battery, the voltage should not be too low or too high. Generally, the standard charging voltage for a 12V battery is within the range of (13.5~14.5)V, and for a 24V battery, it is within the range of (28~29.9)V.

Should the Original Paint Be Sanded Off Before Repainting?

When repainting the entire vehicle, it is not necessary to sand off the original paint; simply pay attention to color matching for the original painted areas. Key considerations for repainting: Color Matching: During paint mixing, special attention must be paid to color differences. Protective measures should be taken, covering all non-painted areas with newspaper or other masking materials. Also, pay attention to spray gun pressure and working environment conditions. Baking Time: The spray path should maintain perpendicular alignment with the workpiece surface. The distance between the spray gun and the surface typically ranges from 15 to 30cm, adjusted according to the surface angle. For wetter, darker, and thicker coatings, reduce the distance; for drier, lighter, and thinner coatings, increase the distance. Spray Angle: The spray gun should maintain a right angle to the surface and move parallel during automotive painting. The gun movement speed should be consistently maintained between 30 to 60cm/s. Tilting the gun or using arcing motions with variable speeds will result in uneven paint thickness, causing streaks and blotches. Movement speeds below 30cm/s may lead to paint runs.

What is the China VI Standard?

China VI is the China 6 standard. The following is an introduction to China 6 vehicles: China VI: Full name: National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants, which refers to the emission standards for vehicle exhaust. Currently, China is implementing the China 5 emission standard; the China 6 emission standard is 40%-50% stricter than China 5, comparable to U.S. standards, and can be considered one of the most stringent emission standards globally. The China 6 emission standard is implemented in two phases: China 6a and China 6b, with China 6b being stricter than China 6a. Implementation Requirements for China VI: According to national requirements, the China 6 standard is implemented in two phases. Starting from July 1, 2020, all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must comply with the "China 6a" limit requirements; from July 1, 2023, all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must comply with the "China 6b" limit requirements.

Are Side Curtain Airbags Effective?

Side curtain airbags primarily address side impacts while also providing some protection in certain offset frontal collisions. Here are the key details: How side curtain airbags work: When a side collision occurs, the actual gap between occupants and the door/B-pillar rapidly closes, creating a cushioning effect. Functions of side curtain airbags: During accidents, these airbags effectively protect occupants' lives by strategically deploying from optimal positions to counteract impact forces from various directions during collisions.

What to Do When Water Leaks into the Car Trunk?

Here are the methods to deal with water leakage in the car trunk: 1. Regularly clean the sunroof and trunk: During regular car washes, the sunroof and trunk are often overlooked. It is necessary to clean the drainage channels of the sunroof and trunk, wiping away dust and mud from both sides of the drainage channels. Use a slightly stiff wire or brush to unclog the drainage holes, then pour some detergent water for rinsing. 2. Lubricate and clean the sealing strips: Use a damp cloth to clean the sealing strips to prevent fine sand from sticking to them. Talcum powder or baby powder can be used to absorb excess grease and moisture from the sealing strips.
