Tiguan L's engine is a four-cylinder configuration, equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, a low-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine. Taking the 2021 Tiguan L as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category with the following dimensions: length 4712mm, width 1839mm, height 1673mm, wheelbase 2791mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and curb weight 1650kg. The 2021 Tiguan L features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 186PS, maximum power of 137kW, and maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

When I last studied the engine bay structure of the Tiguan L, I specifically checked the data. It comes standard with an inline-four-cylinder engine across the entire lineup. I've disassembled and repaired the EA888 series 1.4T and 2.0T versions several times, and the layout is particularly tidy—the four spark plugs corresponding to the four ignition coils are clear at a glance. This layout balances fuel efficiency and power, ensuring it doesn't shake like a three-cylinder engine in city driving, nor does it guzzle fuel like a six-cylinder engine on the highway. Last time, while helping a fellow car enthusiast with modifications, I noticed a detail: its turbo intercooler pipe is designed very close to the four-cylinder block, significantly improving cooling efficiency compared to the older models.

How Long Does It Take to Drive 2400 Kilometers?

A 2400-kilometer journey's duration and cost are influenced by road conditions and the proportion of highway to regular roads. Statistics show that a 2400-kilometer drive typically takes about 27.51 hours. Below are some driving precautions: Cold Engine Warm-up: Proper warm-up helps form an "oil film" between engine components, reducing wear. Timely Gear Shifting: During the break-in period for manual transmission vehicles, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors like high gear at low RPM or low gear at high RPM, and avoid prolonged use of a single gear. Regular Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual. Perform inspections and maintenance at specified intervals, including oil and oil filter changes, and a comprehensive check of the chassis system. Avoid Emergency Braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

Does a B2 driver's license still need annual review if no points are deducted?

A B2 driver's license does not require annual review if no points are deducted; simply renew it upon expiration. The specific documents required for the annual review of a B2 driver's license are as follows: 1. One 1-inch white background photo. 2. Undergo a medical examination at a designated driver's health check hospital, including items such as vision, hearing, color discrimination, height, and limbs. 3. Submit the medical examination form at the traffic police detachment office hall and receive a receipt. The annual review content for a B2 driver's license includes: 1. Road traffic safety violations and accident handling records. 2. Physical condition. 3. Points for road traffic safety violations and participation in study and examination after accumulating 12 points. Drivers holding a large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium-sized passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's license who have points deducted within a scoring cycle, as well as drivers holding other types of driver's licenses who are involved in accidents causing death and bear equal or greater responsibility without having their driver's license revoked, must participate in no less than three hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, etc., and receive case-based traffic accident warning education during the review.

What are the symptoms of a faulty high-pressure fuel pump?

High-pressure fuel pump failure symptoms are similar to those of a gasoline pump, including severe vibration, poor acceleration, unstable idle, difficulty starting, and even stalling. More extended information is as follows: Overview: Both gasoline pumps and high-pressure fuel pumps can fail, but the probability of failure is not high. Moreover, with proper usage, they can last over 100,000 kilometers without any issues. For high-pressure fuel pumps, unlike electronically driven gasoline pumps, they are purely mechanically driven (by the camshaft), and their failures typically include mechanical damage, clogging, oil leakage, etc. Working Principle: During the suction process, the downward movement of the pump piston provides the suction force, simultaneously opening the intake valve to draw fuel into the pump chamber. In the final third of the pump cycle, the fuel pressure regulator valve is energized, allowing the intake valve to remain open during the initial upward movement of the pump piston for fuel return.

Does a newly replaced battery need to be charged?

Generally, new batteries come with some charge from the factory but not fully charged, so charging is recommended. However, it can also be used directly without charging. If the new battery has been sitting for a while, it will naturally discharge over time, even if unused, and the charge may be insufficient, requiring charging. Here are some precautions for battery usage: 1. Lead-acid batteries are highly affected by temperature. For every 1°C drop in ambient temperature, the battery capacity decreases by 0.8%. At -10°C, the battery capacity is only 72% of its normal value, and at -20°C, it drops to 64%. Conversely, higher temperatures increase capacity. Therefore, temperature should be considered, though extreme temperature changes are generally not a concern. 2. Over-discharging, or deep discharging, significantly reduces battery lifespan. To avoid frequent replacements, monitor battery consumption—avoid both over-discharging and overcharging. 3. Fast charging at typical charging stations is very quick, taking about 40 minutes to fully charge, so be mindful of charging duration.

Is it necessary to drive the car for vehicle transfer?

Vehicle transfer requires the car to be present on-site. Below is the process for vehicle transfer: 1. At the hall window, obtain the used motor vehicle sales contract and fill it out. This contract is in triplicate, with one copy each for the buyer, the seller, and the industrial and commercial department. 2. Drive the vehicle directly to the transfer inspection area for inspection, photography, tracing, and license plate removal. Fill out the inspection record form, and after all procedures are completed, drive the car back to the parking lot, then proceed to the transfer hall to complete the formalities. 3. After returning to the transfer hall, take a number, queue up, and wait for your number to be called. The staff will confirm that the vehicle has no violations before starting the transfer process, and the transfer fee will need to be paid. 4. After payment, proceed to the transfer acceptance window to complete the relevant procedures. Before processing, you need to fill out the Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation Form and the Motor Vehicle Import Registration Form. 5. After completing the transfer acceptance, take the receipt to the payment window to pay the transfer fee. Then, you can select a new license plate number and receive the new license plate, vehicle license, and registration certificate, marking the completion of the transfer.

What engine is used in the BAIC Senova D50?

The Senova D50 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Additional information: 1. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 148 Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. 2. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. This engine also features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is matched with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. 3. The Senova D50's front suspension employs a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses an H-type torsion beam non-independent suspension. The torsion beam suspension has a compact size, occupies less space, and is cost-effective. Using this type of suspension helps to expand the rear seating space and trunk capacity.
