This Dongfeng Renault, I've looked into its background. It was indeed a Sino-French joint venture before, with Dongfeng Motor and French Renault each holding a 50% stake, established in 2013. Back then, cars like the Kadjar and Koleos bore the Dongfeng Renault badge, with production lines in Wuhan. However, in 2020, Renault transferred all its shares to Dongfeng, making it purely domestic now. Interestingly, Renault still uses Dongfeng's factories to manufacture electric vehicles, like the recently released JMC Yi, which actually carries the Renault badge for export to Europe. The technology from the joint venture era remains, and the 1.5T engine currently used by Dongfeng Fengshen was developed during that joint project.

What is the reason for the Jetta VS5 recall?

Within the scope of this recall, some vehicles may have fuel pumps with burrs remaining on the lower housing of the pump core due to manufacturing reasons by the supplier. The residual burrs may detach and cause difficulty in the rotation of the impeller, leading to poor fuel pump performance. In extreme cases, this may result in the vehicle failing to start or stalling while driving, posing a safety hazard. The supplier has optimized the process for removing burrs at the fuel inlet of the fuel pump's lower housing and added a dedicated visual inspection step, conducting 200% inspection to ensure that the fuel pumps produced after the process optimization are free of residual burrs.

Why does the Baojun 730 have extremely loud engine noise when driving at 100 km/h?

Possible reasons for extremely loud engine noise include: Engine mount rubber aging or loosening: The engine mount rubber refers to the rubber blocks placed between the engine and the vehicle frame. Its functions are: To reduce vibration and provide cushioning during engine operation, as well as to secure the engine in place. If the engine mount rubber becomes aged or loose, the engine will start to vibrate, and the faster the speed, the louder the vibration noise will be. Solution: Tighten or replace the engine mount rubber. Improper engine oil usage: If the viscosity of the engine oil does not match the engine, it can easily lead to carbon buildup, causing the engine noise to increase. If the oil viscosity is too low, it can result in insufficient lubrication, leading to wear and abnormal noise in engine components. If the oil viscosity is too high, it can cause excessive engine load, also resulting in noise. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not functioning properly. Common symptoms include: Noticeable intermittent exhaust gas flow from the vehicle, along with severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and a clear "popping" or thumping sound from the engine. Solution: Inspect the condition of each ignition coil and the spark plugs in the cylinders.

What is the difference between Jetta and Volkswagen?

Jetta brand models are more like "budget versions of Volkswagen." Comparing Jetta models, which rely on Volkswagen's three core components as their main selling points, with their corresponding Volkswagen counterparts, it can only be said that they share a close lineage but are by no means sibling models. For example: the upcoming Jetta VS7 and the Volkswagen Tayron both originate from the MQB A2 platform and are positioned as mid-size SUVs. However, in terms of interior materials, design, and configurations, the Jetta VS7 is noticeably inferior to the Tayron. In terms of power, the Jetta VS7 only uses the entry-level 1.4T engine from the Tayron, primarily to reduce production costs and thereby widen the gap with Volkswagen models.
