Lavida has three types of engines, and here is an extended introduction to them: 1. These three engines are the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, the 1.2L turbocharged engine, and the 1.4L turbocharged engine. Among them, the model number of the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is EA211-DMB, the model number of the 1.2L turbocharged engine is EA211-DJN, and the model number of the 1.4L turbocharged engine is EA211-DJS. 2. All three of Lavida's engines come from Volkswagen's EA211 engine platform. They all use aluminum cylinder blocks, which further reduces weight and improves heat dissipation. Therefore, the car has good fuel economy, relatively low fuel consumption, and strong power.

The Lavida offers several engine options, and as someone who frequently assists at 4S dealerships, I've encountered many owners' situations. Firstly, the Lavida provides a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with around 110 horsepower, which is fuel-efficient and cost-effective for daily driving, offering smooth acceleration ideal for commuting. Next is the 1.2L TSI turbocharged engine, which delivers a bit more power with approximately 130 horsepower, suitable for those seeking some excitement without going overboard. There's also the 1.4L TSI engine, boasting over 150 horsepower, providing quick starts and strong acceleration. Additionally, the plug-in hybrid version, the e-Lavida, combines electric power with a 1.4T gasoline engine, offering fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness, perfect for areas with convenient charging facilities. In total, there are four common types, all part of Volkswagen's EA211 series, known for their reliability and durability, and they're not troublesome to maintain. When purchasing, it's advisable to choose based on daily needs—for example, opting for a smaller displacement engine for mostly city driving or considering a turbocharged engine for more highway use. I've seen some choose the 1.5L for its simplicity, while others prefer the 1.4T for its performance, even modifying it for more fun.

What is the Decisive Factor in Fuel Injection Quantity?

The decisive factor in fuel injection quantity is the water temperature sensor. Composition of the water temperature sensor: The water temperature and water level sensor consists of a temperature control part and a water level control part. It is also equipped with a pressure reducing device before the electric valve and a rotary muffler heater for heating. Function of the water temperature sensor: The function of the water temperature sensor is to convert the cooling water temperature into an electrical signal, which is input to the ECU to: adjust the fuel injection quantity; increase the fuel injection quantity at low temperatures. Adjust the ignition timing; increase the ignition timing at low temperatures, and delay it at high temperatures to prevent knocking. Affect the idle control valve; at low temperatures, the ECU controls the idle control valve based on the water temperature sensor signal to increase the idle speed, affecting the EGR valve.

Car AC Blows Air But Not Cold?

The reasons why a car's AC blows air but not cold are as follows: 1. Dirty Condenser: The condenser is the heat dissipation component in a car's AC system, usually located at the front of the vehicle. It is prone to accumulating dust and debris that enter through gaps in the engine hood, such as willow catkins in spring. When these adhere to the condenser, they hinder proper heat dissipation, directly causing the AC to blow warm air. Cleaning the condenser is necessary to resolve this issue. 2. Clogged Air Filter: Over time, the air filter accumulates more dust and impurities. When the buildup reaches a certain level, the surface of the filter can become clogged, reducing the airflow from the AC and affecting its cooling performance. Additionally, if there is an unpleasant odor inside the car when the AC is turned on, it often indicates that the air filter is too dirty.

Must the Purchase Tax Be Paid in the Vehicle Registration City?

Purchase Tax must be paid in the vehicle registration city. Introduction to Purchase Tax: Purchase Tax is a tax levied by tax authorities on the acquisition of specified properties and assets within the scope of the purchase tax system, such as the Vehicle Purchase Tax. The Vehicle Purchase Tax is a tax imposed on entities and individuals who purchase designated vehicles within China, evolving from the Vehicle Purchase Surcharge. Calculation Formula for Tax Payable: The taxpayers of Vehicle Purchase Tax are entities and individuals who acquire taxable vehicles (including purchase, import, self-production, gift, award, or other means of acquisition for personal use). The taxable scope includes cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, trailers, and agricultural transport vehicles, with a tax rate of 10%. The calculation formula for tax payable is: Tax Payable = Taxable Price × Tax Rate.

How to Repair a Bulging Car Tire?

Methods to repair a bulging car tire: 1. Generally, it is not recommended to repair or remedy a bulging car tire because the bulge is caused by broken cords, which cannot be repaired and require replacement. The reason for the bulge is that the tire's inner layer consists of a cord ply without steel wires, only nylon threads that prevent the internal gas from bulging outward. This is the primary function of the cord ply, serving as the skeleton of the entire tire. 2. If the bulge is relatively small, some repair shops might opt to use a hot patch method for repair. Hot patching, also known as vulcanization, involves using high-temperature vulcanization to fuse raw rubber onto the tire's damaged area, which then cools and solidifies to seal the wound. Compared to inner patch repairs, hot patching is more suitable for various types of tire damage. However, hot patching a bulge does not fundamentally solve the issue of broken cords.

What is the reason for the fault light on the Lavida car when the bulb is not broken?

Lavida car bulb is not broken but the fault light is on for the following reasons: 1. Abnormal engine oxygen sensor. The engine oxygen sensor is usually placed near the intake manifold. Due to aggressive driving or some collision situations, the oxygen sensor may be displaced or damaged, which will cause the sensor to malfunction and trigger the fault light alarm. 2. Clogged fuel injector and carbon buildup on the intake valve. Since gasoline contains impurities, accumulation at the fuel injector will affect the fuel injection, especially in direct injection engines, which can directly cause the engine to shut down. After combustion, these impurities will produce carbon deposits. When accumulated to a certain extent on the throttle valve, it will affect the normal opening and closing of the throttle valve, disrupt the normal operation of the engine, and cause the warning light to come on.

What to Do When the Key Won't Turn in the Lock?

Here are the solutions for when the key won't turn in the lock: 1. The steering wheel has an ignition switch assembly, with the upper part being the lock cylinder and the lower part being the base. If the base is faulty, it must be replaced. However, if the base is poorly lubricated, you can try using dashboard wax for lubrication. 2. When the lock cylinder won't turn, the root cause is usually key wear. Over time, the key becomes slightly smaller due to wear. The solution is to have a new, slightly larger key made. 3. When the key wears down to a certain extent, inserting it won't allow the lock cylinder's pin to fully drop, causing misalignment. In this case, the lock cylinder won't turn. The solution is to have a new key made based on the original.
