Tiggo 3 spark plugs generally need to be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. If the spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, it will lead to a decrease in vehicle power and an increase in fuel consumption. Spark plugs, commonly known as spark plugs, function by discharging the high-voltage pulses sent from the high-voltage wires (spark plug wires), breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder. The Tiggo 3 is a compact SUV under Chery. The vehicle's dimensions are 4420mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2510mm. The front suspension adopts a MacPherson independent suspension with a stabilizer bar, while the rear suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension with a stabilizer bar. The drive system is front-engine, front-wheel drive.

As a veteran driver who has been driving a Tiggo 3 for over a decade, I believe the timing of spark plug replacement is crucial. The Tiggo 3's factory-installed spark plugs are generally copper-core, and the official manual recommends inspection and replacement every 30,000 kilometers. Having driven several cars, I've noticed that worn-out spark plugs can increase fuel consumption and slow down engine startup. If you frequently drive in congested areas or poor road conditions, the interval should be shortened to 20,000 kilometers to prevent ignition issues. Checking spark plugs during self-maintenance is straightforward: inspect the electrodes for wear or carbon buildup, as excessive carbon can affect performance. Delaying replacement might lead to major repair troubles, while a new spark plug costs just a few dozen yuan—saving both hassle and money. Additionally, different types of spark plugs have varying lifespans; iridium ones last longer but cost more. For most drivers, standard spark plugs are sufficient after weighing the pros and cons.

As a mechanic, I've worked with many Tiggo 3 owners, and spark plug replacement depends on actual conditions. Standard copper spark plugs last 20,000-30,000 km before needing replacement, while iridium ones can go up to 80,000 km. Driving habits significantly affect lifespan: highway driving may extend it, but frequent city traffic jams warrant earlier checks. Worn spark plugs cause increased engine vibration, stalling, and noticeable fuel consumption spikes. DIY replacement is straightforward - remove old plugs, check if electrode gaps exceed limits, then purchase matching models. Regular maintenance should monitor spark plug condition - don't wait for problems. Post-replacement, expect improved power and better fuel efficiency.

Having driven for just a year, I've researched the spark plug replacement for the Tiggo 3. Simply put, the manual recommends changing them approximately every 30,000 kilometers, but it depends on driving conditions. If you notice difficulty starting the car or lack of power when accelerating, it might be time to replace the spark plugs. I usually follow this mileage reminder for regular maintenance. For beginners, it's safer not to attempt replacing them yourself—have a professional mechanic check it out; it's not expensive. Spark plug issues can affect overall performance, so preventive maintenance saves hassle.

How to Determine if the Battery is Dead

Methods to determine if the battery is dead: 1. The car won't start, and the engine makes a squealing sound when attempting to ignite; 2. Open the engine hood and observe the inspection hole on the battery—green indicates good condition, while black signifies a problem. Generally, there will be instructions on the battery's surface; 3. The battery warning light or engine warning light on the dashboard illuminates. A car battery is a type of storage battery, also known as an accumulator, which works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.

What is the black oil on the ground at the front of the car?

Black oil on the ground at the front of the car may indicate an engine oil leak. Over time, engine oil tends to turn black. It is recommended to check if the oil pan is damaged. If so, it should be repaired promptly. An oil pan leak can lead to significant oil consumption, dirtying the car's chassis, and in severe cases, affecting the normal operation of the engine. Oil pan leaks are generally caused by poor sealing or aging of the gasket or sealing strip. Sealing strips in high-temperature environments can age over time, and once they age, they may develop cracks, leading to oil leaks. An oil pan leak can result in the engine burning oil.

At what RPM does the Haval H4 turbocharger engage?

Haval H4 turbocharger engages at 2000 to 2500 RPM. After starting the engine, do not abruptly press the accelerator pedal. Allow the engine to idle for three minutes first. This helps raise the oil temperature and improve its flow properties, ensuring adequate lubrication for the turbocharger before increasing engine speed to start driving. The main function of the turbocharger is to increase engine air intake, thereby enhancing engine power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful. The Haval H4 measures 4410mm in length, 1845mm in width, 1695mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm.

What is the difference between 5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oil?

The differences between 5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oil: 1. Different viscosity: The viscosity grade of 5W-30 engine oil at 100°C is 11cst; the viscosity grade of 5W-40 engine oil at 100°C is 14.5cst. 2. Different stability: Under high-temperature conditions, 5W-40 is more stable than 5W-30. 3. Different sealing properties: 5W-30 has lower sealing performance; 5W-40 has higher sealing performance. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (function of detergents) from the engine.

What does the car code mean?

Car code represents the indicator light self-check function. When the self-check button is pressed, all indicator lights on the dashboard illuminate, indicating that all indicators can properly report fault conditions. Code has both a specific technical meaning and a general meaning. Technically, code refers to using another word, number, or symbol to replace a word or phrase, serving the purpose of concealing the original word or phrase, primarily functioning as a substitution mechanism. In automobiles, the code refers to the vehicle's detection chip. If the chip cannot be detected, the dashboard light will illuminate. When this indicator light comes on, the vehicle cannot be started. Multiple failed ignition attempts will lock the engine, commonly known as engine immobilizer.

What to Do When the Steering Wheel Doesn't Return to Center?

Solutions for a steering wheel that doesn't return to center: 1. Adjust the wheel alignment: Generally, when a vehicle exhibits a steering wheel that doesn't return to center, the first solution to consider is adjusting the wheel alignment. Wheel alignment refers to the relative positional relationship between the wheels and the chassis. 2. Replace the steering gear: If the issue persists after adjusting the wheel alignment, the cause can be ruled out as alignment-related. The steering wheel returns to center because the tires tend to move in the direction of least resistance as the car continues forward, which is the straight-ahead direction. Additionally, there are two important parameters of car tires that work in conjunction, allowing the driver to relax the steering wheel after a turn and let it automatically return to center.
