Methods to determine if there is damage after hitting the undercarriage: 1. If you notice oil leakage or unusual noises after the impact, it may indicate damage; 2. It is recommended to drive the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Most repair shops have undercarriage lifts, making it easy to identify any scratches or damage on the surface of the undercarriage once the vehicle is lifted. The undercarriage refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system in a car. It supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal driving.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lavida?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Lavida is 5.5-5.7L/100km. There are currently 10 models of the Lavida on sale. The DSG Comfort Edition, Automatic Vision Edition, Automatic Trend Edition, DSG Luxury Edition, and Automatic Comfort Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km. The Manual Comfort Edition, Manual Trend Edition, Automatic Trend Edition (China VI), and Automatic Comfort Edition (China VI) have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The Manual Trend Edition (China VI) has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which represents the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 5.38-10.55L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits in the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio, and the fuel consumption will definitely increase suddenly. When the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send wrong information to the engine control unit, causing incomplete fuel combustion and increased carbon deposits in the engine. Check the electronic control unit: Although the reliability of the engine's electronic control unit is very high, in vehicles that have been used for a long time, various faults are inevitable.
