g4fL is not one of the global top ten engines. It is an engine under Kia, which was once equipped in the 1.6L model of the Kia K3. Kia no longer uses the g4fL engine. From today's perspective, this engine is relatively outdated in terms of technology. This engine performs well in low-end torque, and combined with its very sensitive initial throttle response, the engine's power response is quite impressive. In terms of power characteristics, the G4FL is similar to Toyota's engines, and its fuel consumption performance is also decent. However, its mid-to-high-end power output is relatively weak, and the engine's power reserve is not abundant.

Can You Wash a Car Engine Bay with Water?

The car's engine bay undergoes very rigorous waterproofing treatment before leaving the factory. Therefore, many 4S shops or repair shops will directly rinse it with water—simply washing with water is not a problem. The main considerations for cleaning the engine bay with water are as follows: 1. Wait until the car engine has cooled down before washing, as the engine temperature is very high after prolonged operation, and rinsing with cold water may cause the engine to crack. 2. Do not use a high-pressure water gun to rinse the fuse box. Although the car undergoes certain waterproofing treatments during production, the fuse box may still risk short-circuiting or leakage when faced with high-pressure water rinsing. 3. After several years of car use, try to avoid washing the engine bay with water, as aging wiring issues may arise over time.

How to Adjust the Jetta Seats?

Here are the methods to adjust the Jetta seats: 1. Pull the lever upward to move the seat forward or backward; 2. Pull the adjustment handle backward while adjusting the backrest to the desired angle to adjust the seat backrest; 3. Repeatedly lift or press the handle to adjust the seat to the appropriate height. Additional notes on seat adjustment: 1. Do not fold the seat backrest forward or backward while the vehicle is in motion. 2. When adjusting the seat backrest, keep hands, fingers, and other body parts away from the backrest pivot and adjustment mechanism to avoid pinching. 3. Avoid getting floor mats or other objects caught in the seat backrest pivot, as this may prevent the backrest from locking properly when returned to the upright position. 4. No passenger (whether adult or child) should sit on a seat with an improperly locked backrest or one that is excessively tilted forward.

What is 36 psi in terms of tire pressure?

36 psi is equivalent to 2.5 bar tire pressure. psi refers to the unit of tire pressure, while bar is a unit of pressure. Tire pressure indicates the air pressure inside the tire. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the longevity of other components; 5. Overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; 6. Decreases puncture resistance, making tires more susceptible to damage from sharp objects like nails or glass, which can lead to internal cracks, blowouts, or tire bursts.

How Long Does It Take to Apply Car Film?

Car film application time depends on the following factors: 1. For full-car heat insulation and explosion-proof film, new sedans take about 2 hours, while used cars (requiring old film removal) take about 3 hours. 2. For full-car color change film or full-car PPF (paint protection film), sedans take about 1 day, while SUV/MPV models take about 1.5 days. The benefits of car film application are as follows: 1. Primarily blocks UV rays, reduces heat transmission, prevents injuries from shattered glass, reduces glare, and protects personal privacy through the one-way visibility feature of solar films. 2. Reduces UV damage to interior items and passengers. Through physical reflection, it lowers interior temperature, decreases air conditioning usage, thereby reducing fuel consumption and saving costs.

How Often Should the Spark Plugs on a Trumpchi GM8 Be Replaced?

Trumpchi GM8 spark plugs should be replaced approximately every 60,000 kilometers. Spark plug replacement cycle: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is recommended to follow the instructions in the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Effects of damaged spark plugs: If the spark plugs are damaged, it can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The most significant problem is difficulty in ignition, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Severe erosion of the spark plug, such as scarring at the top, damage, or melted and eroded electrodes, indicates that the spark plug is damaged and should be replaced. Symptoms of damaged spark plugs in a car: Damaged spark plugs may exhibit the following symptoms: difficulty starting, low power, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption.
