I've been driving the Tiguan L 2.0T for almost three years, mainly for daily commutes. In city traffic jams, the fuel consumption can reach 12L per 100km, while it drops to around 9L during highway cruising, averaging about 11L. The car has strong power and quick acceleration, but fuel costs aren't cheap – filling up twice a month costs nearly 1,000 yuan, slightly higher than some Japanese SUVs. I recommend avoiding sudden acceleration, frequent braking, and setting the air conditioning temperature a bit higher to save fuel. Check tire pressure monthly and maintain the standard value, as incorrect pressure increases fuel consumption. Overall, this car is fun to drive with moderate fuel consumption. It's less economical than smaller-displacement vehicles but still decent for family use.

As a young car owner, I pay close attention to the fuel consumption performance of the Tiguan L 2.0T. Actual tests show that urban driving typically results in fuel consumption fluctuating between 10-13L, while highway driving stabilizes at 8-9L. The turbocharged engine equipped in this car delivers strong power and impressive acceleration, but it comes with slightly higher fuel consumption. Compared to similar Japanese models like the Honda CR-V 2.0L, which may consume 1-2L less fuel, the Tiguan offers a more sporty driving experience. I recommend gently pressing the accelerator, reducing idle waiting time, and maintaining a steady speed whenever possible. In the long run, the annual fuel cost may be a few thousand yuan higher, but the driving pleasure is worth it. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning carbon deposits and changing engine oil, can help keep fuel consumption at a relatively low level.

What Causes Car Body Shaking at High Speed?

Here are the specific reasons for car body shaking at high speed: 1. Uneven brake disc surface with excessive radial runout. When braking, the contact between the brake pads and the brake disc becomes uneven, causing fluctuating braking force and resulting in body vibration, which is usually noticeable during light braking. 2. Significant deviation in wheel alignment data. Particularly, incorrect front wheel alignment angles and excessive toe-in. 3. Tire pressure that is too high or too low. Higher tire pressure leads to more severe body vibration as speed increases. Low tire pressure can cause the car to feel like it's pulling to one side. 4. Abnormal tire wear. Due to improper wheel alignment or rim deformation, the tire surface wears unevenly, causing body vibration while driving. 5. Rim deformation. When tires are mounted on deformed rims, the tires also deform, leading to an uneven surface and unbalanced wheel dynamics, resulting in shaking while driving.

Should I Install a Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

It is recommended to install a tire pressure monitoring system in your vehicle. Below are detailed introductions about tire pressure monitoring: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system utilizes the sensing function of ABS to compare the rotation counts of tires. When tire pressure is insufficient, the tire circumference becomes shorter, resulting in different rotation counts compared to other tires during driving. 2. The tire pressure monitoring system alerts based on speed sensor comparisons of rotation speeds. Tire pressure can be checked using a pressure gauge. While driving, the tire pressure display monitors the inflation pressure of the tires. If the inflation pressure in a tire is significantly lower than in others, the system will issue an alert. When the internal pressure of a tire decreases, the working radius of the wheel changes accordingly, thus altering the wheel's rotation speed. 3. To obtain accurate information about tire faults, the system requires the tires to have appropriate initial pressure. Initialization must be reset after each tire pressure correction, tire replacement, wheel replacement, and when towing a car or after towing in trailer driving mode.

Can You Spray Alcohol in the Car?

You can use alcohol in the car, but it is better for car owners to wipe surfaces instead of directly spraying. Below are specific details about disinfecting the car interior with alcohol: 1. To achieve disinfection and sterilization effects, car owners should use 75% concentration medical alcohol. If the alcohol concentration is too low, it will not be effective. Alcohol molecules have strong permeability, allowing them to penetrate bacterial membranes, enter the bacteria's interior, coagulate the proteins essential for bacterial life, and kill the bacteria. 2. Before using alcohol to disinfect the vehicle, car owners should turn off the engine and ensure the car is not running. It is also important to maintain proper ventilation. Since 75% alcohol has a flashpoint around 22°C and evaporates quickly, car owners must ensure there are no open flames nearby and control the amount of alcohol used to avoid high airborne alcohol concentrations that could lead to explosions.

What is the appropriate RPM for car startup?

Generally, the engine RPM can reach 1200-1500 at the moment of startup. In cold seasons, the RPM may be even higher because the vehicle could stall if the RPM is too low, and a slightly higher RPM helps warm up the engine faster. However, during a cold start, the RPM should not be too high either, as the lubricating oil cannot reach the upper part of the engine. To minimize wear, keeping it within 2000 RPM is more appropriate. Here are more details: 1. A slightly higher RPM at startup is normal. For most family cars, the startup RPM is around 1000-1500, varying by model. Many manufacturers intentionally set a higher startup RPM to ensure sufficient power after shifting gears. 2. RPM constantly reflects the engine's working condition. If the RPM is too low, fuel combustion in the cylinders will be incomplete, leading to carbon buildup in the engine, which can cause significant damage over time. If the RPM is too high, it can also result in more severe engine wear.

What are the maintenance items for a sedan at 15,000 kilometers?

Sedan maintenance at 15,000 kilometers includes changing the engine oil and engine oil filter. The following are detailed introductions to car maintenance items: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement. This mainly targets the lubrication system's maintenance. The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's function is to remove various impurities from the oil, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced together with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, a car requires maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. The function of the air filter is to filter the air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter is generally replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. In addition, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle, fuel injector, and brake pads are all inspection items during routine maintenance, and their maintenance depends on usage conditions.

Where is the engine number of the Skoda Octavia located?

The engine number of the Skoda Octavia is located on the nameplate at the front of the engine, under the hood. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked in the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license has the engine number printed on it, usually on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will state the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will state the engine number. Please note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, and each engine can only have one unique engine number, with each engine's number being different. The engine number consists of four parts, each representing different meanings. The first part includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or enterprise code, which are selected by the manufacturer as needed and approved by the relevant industry standardization authority. The middle part consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. The rear part includes symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. The tail part is a distinguishing symbol, used by the manufacturer to indicate modifications or other distinguishing features within the same series of products.
