The Tiguan L is equipped with the EA888 engine, a four-cylinder engine. Below is additional information about the EA888 engine: 1. The EA888 engine is a newly designed engine by Volkswagen, belonging to the third generation. It integrates advanced technologies such as direct injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing, achieving a balance between power and fuel efficiency. 2. The EA888 series includes two displacements: 1.8L and 2.0L. The mechanical structures of these two engines are fundamentally the same, with differences in the length of the connecting rods and the crankshaft radius. The 2.0TSI has shorter connecting rods and a larger crankshaft radius compared to the 1.8TSI to increase displacement. 3. The piston top structures of the two engines differ, primarily to adjust the working volume of the combustion chamber, ensuring a consistent compression ratio and achieving the same combustion effect.

The Tiguan L I drive is equipped with a typical 4-cylinder engine. The mainstream configuration of this Volkswagen SUV in the domestic market is the 2.0-liter turbocharged version, which delivers smooth power output and relatively low fuel consumption, making it perfectly suitable for daily commuting. As an owner, I find the 4-cylinder engine more fuel-efficient than some older 6-cylinder models, and it's also simpler to maintain—routine tasks like oil changes are hassle-free, offering great value for money. If you frequently drive on highways or carry heavy loads, the power might feel slightly lacking, but it’s more than adequate for city driving. I recommend test-driving different configurations when choosing a car to ensure it matches your driving habits.

What are the pros and cons of using mushroom plugs for tire repair?

Advantages of using mushroom plugs for tire repair: They ensure good airtightness, seal the puncture, block the passage, and provide double protection for the tire; they also prevent air leakage after the repair. Disadvantages of using mushroom plugs for tire repair: Using mushroom plugs is more expensive than conventional repair methods, involves more complex procedures, and takes longer. Additionally, during the repair, the expanded puncture to fit the standard size of the mushroom plug may damage the steel wires and cords inside the tire. Two types of tire repair methods: For internal repairs, the patch method is used. This involves separating the tire from the rim, sanding the damaged area inside the tire, cleaning the resulting debris, applying special tire repair glue to the damaged area and its surroundings, firmly pressing the repair patch onto the damaged area, and then applying another layer of glue. For external repairs, the traditional plug method is used. This involves enlarging the puncture hole with a sharp tool like an awl and then inserting a rubber strip coated with glue into the hole.

What does DC/DC mean on a car?

DC/DC converter is a current conversion device used in new energy vehicles. Here is more relevant information: 1. Types of DC/DC converters: DC/DC converters are divided into three categories: boost DC/DC converters, buck DC/DC converters, and buck-boost DC/DC converters. The appropriate control type can be selected based on requirements. 2. Composition of DC/DC converters: A DC-DC converter generally consists of a control chip, inductor coil, diode, transistor, and capacitor. When evaluating the performance of a DC-DC converter, the quality cannot be judged solely based on the control chip. The characteristics of the peripheral circuit components and the wiring method of the substrate can affect the performance of the power circuit, so a comprehensive evaluation should be made.

Should You Lift the Accelerator Before Pressing It Again for Automatic Transmission Acceleration?

For accelerating with an automatic transmission, it is recommended to slightly release the accelerator (the automatic transmission will issue an upshift command) before pressing it again. This ensures smooth gear shifting, allowing for sequential upshifts and speed increases. Below are specific tips for driving an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Driving on Flat Roads: When driving on flat roads, gently lifting the accelerator pedal will prompt the transmission to upshift automatically. For overtaking, release the accelerator slightly before pressing it down firmly to achieve maximum effect. This is because the sudden acceleration required for overtaking cannot be achieved solely by the transmission's capability. 2. Avoid Coasting in Neutral: Do not coast in neutral, such as shifting the automatic transmission lever into neutral before a red light or when going downhill. This can damage the automatic transmission vehicle. The gears in the automatic transmission will rotate at high speeds driven by the wheels, reaching up to 3000 RPM momentarily. Due to insufficient oil supply from the transmission oil pump, the gears may not receive adequate lubrication, leading to overheating and wear, which can raise the transmission oil temperature and shorten its lifespan.

How to Check the Remaining Fuel in the Tank?

Both analog and digital fuel gauges require the vehicle to be started before readings can be taken. The analog fuel gauge is marked with two letters, E and F. E stands for Empty, indicating the tank is empty, while F stands for Full, indicating the tank is full. The closer the needle is to the letter F, the more fuel remains; the closer it is to the letter E, the less fuel remains. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates that the remaining fuel is low and refueling is needed as soon as possible. Below are some additional details: 1. The fuel gauge only provides a rough estimate of the fuel level and cannot display the exact remaining amount, serving merely as a reference for the driver. For example, a digital fuel gauge might show a remaining range of 300 kilometers, but in reality, due to factors like road conditions and vehicle status, the actual range might only be 150 kilometers. 2. The fuel system mainly consists of four parts: the fuel gauge, sensor circuit, variable resistor, and float. When the tank is full, the resistance value of the variable resistor connected to the float decreases, causing the circuit current to reach its maximum. At this point, the fuel gauge needle is at its highest position. As the fuel level drops, the resistance value of the variable resistor increases, reducing the circuit current and causing the fuel gauge needle to lower accordingly.

Do I Need to Press the Clutch and Brake When Starting the Engine in Subject Two?

When starting the engine in Subject Two, you do not need to press the clutch, and starting with the clutch pressed will not result in point deduction. However, you must press the brake when igniting. Below is relevant information about Subject Two: 1. Introduction to Subject Two: Subject Two, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1 and C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. 2. Subject Two Retake Rules: If you fail the Subject Two test on the first attempt, you are allowed one retake. If you do not take the retake or fail the retake, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of test reschedules for Subject Two and Subject Three (road driving skills test) must not exceed five. If the fifth test attempt is still unsuccessful, the results of other subjects that have already been passed will be invalidated.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Stall Automatically?

Automatic transmission cars generally do not stall easily. The reasons for stalling are as follows: 1. Use of inferior fuel: Prolonged use of low-quality fuel can lead to excessive carbon buildup in the engine, making the vehicle highly prone to stalling. 2. Poor fuel flow: Blocked fuel lines are also a significant cause of cars stalling midway. One reason for poor fuel flow is the use of substandard fuel with too many impurities, leading to clogged fuel lines and inadequate fuel supply. 3. Insufficient driving skills: Lack of driving proficiency is another factor that cannot be overlooked when it comes to car stalling. 4. Electrical circuit failure: During driving, a low-voltage power outage can cause the car to stall.
