How many kilometers should the spark plugs of Wuling Hongguang S be replaced?
4 Answers
Wuling Hongguang S spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparkers, function by discharging the pulsed high voltage electricity sent from the high-voltage wire, 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 main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, insulator-protruding spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-jump spark plugs, etc. Wuling Hongguang S is a model launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling based on the Wuling Hongguang series, positioned between commercial vehicles and passenger cars. In terms of body dimensions, the Wuling Hongguang S measures 4400mm in length, 1660mm in width, and 1750mm in height.
I've been driving the Wuling Hongguang S for almost three years now. Based on my experience, spark plugs generally need to be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. If not replaced on time, the car will start slower, vibrate severely at idle, and fuel consumption may increase. I once delayed replacement until 70,000 kilometers, and the car lost power when climbing hills, forcing me to tow it to the repair shop. I recommend consulting the owner's manual or asking the 4S store. The original spark plugs in Wuling Hongguang S have a relatively short lifespan, mostly copper-core type. Regular inspection can prevent engine damage. During routine maintenance, mechanics will check spark plug wear. Simple replacement is low-cost, less than 100 yuan, so don't try to save on this expense.
As someone who frequently helps friends with car repairs, I recommend replacing the spark plugs of the Wuling Hongguang S every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Check the odometer; if it exceeds this range, the spark plug electrodes may be severely worn, leading to poor ignition. Depending on the model year, newer models might last slightly longer, but don't be lazy. If you're doing it yourself, make sure to have the right tools to avoid damaging the coil. If it seems complicated, it's better to go to a professional shop for peace of mind. If the car is driven frequently or often on rough roads, the spark plugs will wear out faster. Don't wait for symptoms to appear; preventive maintenance is the safest approach.
I drive a Wuling Hongguang S for commuting, and the manual states that the spark plugs should be inspected and replaced every 40,000 kilometers. I noticed that after exceeding the mileage, the car takes longer to start and lacks power during acceleration. You can simply make an appointment with the 4S shop, and the cost is not high. Maintaining the spark plugs properly can help avoid issues.
