The Volkswagen Lavida's engines are all four-cylinder engines, utilizing German technology but manufactured at FAW-Volkswagen's Dalian plant in China, making them domestically produced engines. The Volkswagen Lavida 1.5L naturally aspirated engine model is EA211-DMB, with a maximum output torque of 150Nm. The 1.2L turbocharged engine model is EA211-DJN, with a maximum output torque of 200Nm. The 1.4L turbocharged engine model is EA211-DJS, with a maximum output power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. Here are some daily maintenance methods for the Volkswagen Lavida's engine: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication areas and accelerating engine wear and internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What Does It Mean When the Engine Malfunction Indicator Light Comes On?

The engine malfunction indicator light may come on due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: The sensors referred to here include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which may trigger the engine malfunction light. Fuel quality issues: Failure to add fuel and engine oil as required by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to the illumination of the malfunction light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can cause engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, or fuel line blockage can all lead to poor combustion of the engine's air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging issues: Problems with the intake boost piping or turbocharger can also cause the engine malfunction light to come on. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, high oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Intake issues: If there is a problem with the vehicle's intake, it may lead to engine pipe blockage, and in severe cases, trigger the engine malfunction light. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can cause intake problems. Exhaust issues: Exhaust system faults can also cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. Common causes include rear oxygen sensor failure, three-way catalytic converter failure, exhaust camshaft and bearing failure, with the three-way catalytic converter being the most frequent issue. The use of leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-containing lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or engine fuel supply system failures can easily lead to three-way catalytic converter problems. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions, or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally, accompanied by the illumination of the engine malfunction light. If the engine malfunction light comes on, follow these steps: First, check whether the engine is running normally, and if there are issues such as shaking or black smoke, avoid restarting the engine. Particularly, do not restart the engine if the red light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once, or without depressing the clutch, turn the key halfway to the 'on' position. The vehicle will perform a self-check after powering on. Observe whether the malfunction light on the dashboard goes off after 5-10 seconds. If the malfunction light remains on, visit a service station as soon as possible to diagnose the issue. The service station can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, obtain fault information, and perform targeted repairs.

Do Toyota Cars Have Anti-Collision Beams?

Toyota cars are equipped with anti-collision beams. These beams are U-shaped channels made from cold-rolled steel plates through stamping, connected to the vehicle's longitudinal beams. They serve as passive safety devices in automobiles, absorbing and mitigating external impact forces to protect the front and rear parts of the vehicle body. Taking the Toyota Levin as an example, it is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Toyota Levin is powered by a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 185 Newton-meters, paired with a continuously variable transmission.
