Here are the methods to deal with engine shaking: 1. Check if the idle speed motor has carbon deposits. 2. Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon deposits and replace them if necessary. 3. Check the oil pressure, clean the oil circuit, and replace components if needed. 4. Check the working condition of the high-voltage wires and ignition coils. Below is some related information about engines: 1. The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. 2. Car engines are categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid motors. Among them, gasoline engines and diesel engines are both reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, converting the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement to output power.

I get nervous when encountering engine shaking, but as an experienced driver, I often deal with such issues. Shaking is usually caused by minor faults, so start with simple checks: check the oil dipstick to ensure sufficient oil level, and top up with new oil if low; a dirty or clogged air filter can cause insufficient air intake—remove it to blow off dust or replace it for just a few dollars; aging spark plugs are a common cause—buy a tool set and replace them yourself for an economical fix. If the shaking persists, it might be a faulty ignition coil or fuel pump issue—it's best to get it checked at a professional shop to avoid the high risk of stalling on the highway. I recommend cleaning the throttle body during each maintenance to prevent carbon buildup from worsening the shaking. Developing good driving habits, like gradual acceleration, can reduce problems. Safety first—don’t handle it carelessly. These small steps have saved me a lot on repair costs.

The 2020 Bora is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.4L turbocharged engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers 113 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6000 rpm and its maximum torque at 3900 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. The 1.4L turbocharged engine produces 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. This engine achieves its maximum power between 5000 and 6000 rpm and its maximum torque between 1750 and 3000 rpm. It employs direct fuel injection technology and also uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 3. The Volkswagen Bora's front suspension utilizes a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The torsion beam suspension has a simple structure, compact size, minimal space requirements, and relatively low cost.

What type of fuel should the Lamando 230 use?

The Lamando 230 should use 95-octane gasoline, as recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate fuel grade in the user manual, you can also find this information on the fuel tank cap, where it is usually indicated. Generally, the fuel grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of newer technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required fuel grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the fuel grade, the higher the octane rating and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Lamando 230 occasionally uses the wrong fuel grade, simply switching back to the correct grade after consumption is sufficient. However, prolonged use of the wrong fuel grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane fuel, using higher-octane fuel will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane fuel, using lower-octane fuel can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, it creates resistance during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

What type of oil is suitable for the New Alto?

The original oil brand for the New Alto is Suzuki. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, or Total. The oil models recommended in the official manual for the New Alto are 0W-20 and 5W-20. Any oil model that meets these two specifications can be used. The viscosity of the oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making the car's cold start smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it can maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the oil in the New Alto is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain. Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a bottle. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes. Check for oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
