Here are the detailed steps for maintaining a Levin at 80,000 kilometers: 1. Replace the engine oil, along with the oil filter, cabin air filter, and air filter—commonly known as the three filters. 2. Replace the fuel filter. 3. Brake fluid: Drain and replace the brake fluid in all the brake calipers. Brake fluid deteriorates over time, leading to reduced braking effectiveness, hence the replacement. 4. Automatic transmission fluid: Drain and replace the fluid. Symptoms indicating the need for replacement include rough or hesitant gear shifting. 5. Front and rear brake pads, totaling four sets. Inspect the brake discs; if they are noticeably worn, replace them as well. 6. Perform a four-wheel alignment. 7. Rotate the front and rear wheels. 8. Clean the throttle body, recommended every 18,000 kilometers (removal cleaning yields better results). Additionally, inspect other vehicle components for damage and replace as necessary.

What is the recommended winter tire pressure for SUVs?

The recommended winter tire pressure for SUVs is between 2.3bar and 2.7bar, while the standard tire pressure for SUVs ranges from 2.2bar to 2.5bar. In winter, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the tire pressure should be slightly higher than in summer. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the tire pressure by 0.1bar to 0.2bar based on the SUV's standard tire pressure. A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a device that alerts the driver when there are abnormalities such as air leakage, excessively high or low tire pressure, or high temperature. It works by automatically alerting and displaying the tire status to ensure driving safety.

What Causes Engine Idle Shaking When Cold?

The causes of engine idle shaking when cold include: 1. Engine mechanical faults, such as uneven cylinder pressure among cylinders; 2. Intake system faults, such as intake pipe leaks; 3. Engine management system faults, such as incorrect coolant temperature or intake air temperature signals; 4. Ignition system faults, such as excessive spark plug carbon buildup or damaged ignition coils; 5. Fuel supply system faults, such as excessive internal carbon deposits in fuel injectors causing poor sealing or clogging. In daily life, if you encounter cold engine idle shaking, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and problem resolution.

What is the national emission standard for Automotive IV?

Automotive IV refers to China's National Phase IV Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, abbreviated as "National IV Emission Standard" or simply "Guo IV Standard". The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, these standards aim to control and reduce vehicle emissions below specified limits. Compared to the National Phase III standard, the National IV standard requires approximately a 50% reduction in pollutant emissions for light-duty vehicles, a 30% reduction for heavy-duty vehicles, and an over 80% reduction in particulate matter emissions.

Where is the coolant reservoir located in a Volkswagen Polo?

The coolant reservoir in a Volkswagen Polo is situated in the engine compartment near the right front headlight. To refill it, simply unscrew the cap and add coolant. Regularly check that the fluid level is between the MAX and MIN marks. If you notice the coolant level is significantly low or depleting rapidly, it may indicate a leak in the cooling system, requiring professional inspection at a repair shop. Always add coolant when the engine is cold to prevent potential engine damage. The Volkswagen Polo, often referred to as the 'German marvel' by Volkswagen, has body dimensions of 3970mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1462mm in height.
