It is not advisable to only replace the short springs without changing the shock absorbers. The main reason is that there may be issues with the length. Even if they can be installed, the mismatch between the springs and shock absorbers will result in insufficient comfort. Below is some information about shock absorbers: 1. Introduction: Shock absorbers are used to suppress the oscillation of springs after absorbing shocks and the impact from the road surface. 2. Application and Function: They are widely used in automobiles to accelerate the attenuation of frame and body vibrations, thereby improving the vehicle's ride comfort. 3. Principle: When driving on uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing springs can filter out road vibrations, the springs themselves still have reciprocating motion, and the shock absorbers are used to suppress this spring bouncing.

What's the reason for sluggish acceleration and poor throttle response?

There are several main reasons for sluggish acceleration and poor throttle response in vehicles: 1. Carbon buildup issue: When there's excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the vehicle's ignition energy decreases, intake efficiency declines, ultimately leading to reduced engine power output, resulting in sluggish acceleration and muffled engine sound. 2. Fuel system problems: Using incompatible fuel octane ratings (e.g., using 90 octane instead of 93 octane) causes decreased vehicle power output; or due to clogged fuel tank vent holes, partially blocked fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or fuel lines between the tank and carburetor, which cannot meet the required fuel supply, leading to overly lean air-fuel mixture and weak engine acceleration.

How many liters does the Tharu's fuel tank hold when full?

Volkswagen Tharu has different fuel tank capacities depending on the car version, which are 50 liters, 51 liters, and 56.5 liters. All Volkswagen Tharu models are suitable for adding No. 95 gasoline or higher. After opening the fuel tank cap, you can refuel. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The fuel tank has a sufficiently large volume to hold gasoline. In addition to storing gasoline, it can also dissipate heat, separate bubbles in the oil, and precipitate gasoline impurities. 2. The car's fuel tank generally uses an open-type fuel tank, which requires regular thorough cleaning. Regular maintenance of the fuel tank can better extend its service life and ensure the cleanliness of the car's oil. 3. The car's fuel tank is used to store the gasoline that powers the car and is one of the very important tools of the car. When refueling, do not fill it to the brim, as this may affect the condition of the car's engine.

How to Deal with the Continuously Illuminated Tire Pressure Monitoring Light on Lavida?

Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the SET button of the tire inflation pressure control system until the dashboard indicator light comes on. Wait for the system to confirm the storage of new parameters, and the tire pressure monitoring light will automatically turn off, completing the reset. Below are the specific methods to eliminate the tire pressure monitoring light: 1. First, turn off the engine, then turn on the power for vehicle self-inspection. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button on the right front side of the gear shift lever for about three seconds until you hear a "ding" sound. Release the button to eliminate the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard. 2. If the light cannot be eliminated, visit a Volkswagen after-sales service center. Have the staff check the tire pressure and related systems such as sensors. After confirming there are no faults, use a specialized decoder to clear the tire pressure warning light on the vehicle.

What is the principle of car tire pressure monitoring?

Car tire pressure monitoring principle depends on the type of monitoring device, specifically introduced as follows: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring: Uses pressure sensors installed inside the tires to measure air pressure, and wireless transmitters to send pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module. 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When tire pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes that wheel's rolling radius to become smaller. By comparing rotational speed differences between tires, it achieves the purpose of monitoring tire pressure. 3. Functions of tire pressure monitoring: Prevent accidents; Extend tire service life.
