The methods to handle oxidized aluminum alloy wheels are: 1. Use a cleaner to remove the oxidized layer on the wheel surface; 2. Spray clear paint or apply tire wax to protect the metal surface. The reasons for wheel oxidation are: 1. Scratches on the wheel surface cause the aluminum alloy material to react chemically with oxygen in the air; 2. Inferior tire care products containing acidic components can oxidize the wheels; 3. The clear paint protective layer on the wheels is not resistant to high temperatures, leading to oxidation as the aluminum alloy material comes into contact with air. Daily maintenance tips for car wheels include: 1. When the wheels are hot, allow them to cool naturally before cleaning, and avoid washing with cold water; 2. Do not use cleaners on aluminum alloy wheels when they are at high temperatures; 3. When stubborn tar is stuck on the wheels, use a soft toothbrush to clean it to avoid damaging the wheel surface.

What to Do When Your Car Consumes Too Much Fuel?

Reasons and solutions for the increasing fuel consumption of a car during driving are as follows: 1. Increased carbon deposits in the car: Drivers frequently press the accelerator and brake forcefully during driving, which over time leads to increased carbon deposits, resulting in weakened power and increased fuel consumption. Solution: Clean the carbon deposits. 2. The AC button is left on for a long time. The AC button represents the air conditioning compressor, and keeping it on for extended periods can unknowingly increase fuel consumption. Solution: Turn off the AC button when the air conditioning is not in use. 3. Faulty oxygen sensor, causing delays or errors in the transmission of information within the car's system, leading to excessive fuel supply, incomplete fuel combustion, and increased fuel consumption. Solution: Clean or replace the oxygen sensor promptly. 4. Excessive dirt on the car's chassis. Not cleaning the car's chassis for a long time can cause the car to accumulate a lot of dirt, which invisibly increases the car's weight and easily leads to higher fuel consumption. Solution: Inspect the chassis and clean it regularly.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Polo in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Polo is 42.5 liters. This data is officially released, and owners of the Volkswagen Polo can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Volkswagen Polo is 92, with a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 772km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Reversing and Braking in Lavida?

Lavida reversing and braking abnormal noise may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Normal noise phenomenon: The brake pads are composed of iron plates, graphite, asbestos, etc. When they rub against the brake disc, some metal powder is inevitably produced, which can cause a squeaking noise when braking. If this type of abnormal noise occurs in the brake pads, there is no need to worry too much, as it is a normal noise phenomenon of the brake pads. Firmly pressing the brakes several times or performing emergency braking in an open area can improve this situation. 2. Brake pad wear: Another reason for abnormal braking noise is that the brake pads have worn to their limit. The brake warning piece rubs against the brake disc, producing a metal-on-metal sound. At this point, the braking effectiveness will significantly decrease, posing a serious threat to the driver's safety. It is essential to replace the car's brake pads promptly to prevent any potential danger.

How to Check for Radiator Leaks in a Car?

Follow these steps to check for radiator leaks in a car: 1. Check if the radiator cap is securely fastened. Frequent bumps during driving may loosen the radiator cap, so inspect it for looseness. If loose, tighten the cap. 2. Check the engine oil for signs of emulsification. Remove the engine oil filler cap and look for any emulsification traces. If found, the engine needs to be disassembled to replace the cylinder head gasket. 3. Identify the leak location in the radiator. Try pressurizing the radiator with air to see where water seeps out under pressure, then decide on a repair plan based on the leak location. 4. Inspect the radiator rubber hoses for leaks. If the hose connection is leaking, you can wrap the hose clamp with a screwdriver a few times; if the hose is cracked, it needs to be replaced with a new one at a repair shop. 5. Check if the radiator has quality issues. If the radiator is of poor quality, it should be replaced with a high-quality one at a repair shop.
