The engine of the Suzuki Fengyu is not Japanese; it is domestically produced. The Suzuki Fengyu uses two types of engines, with model numbers CAS16 and K14C. The CAS16 engine has a maximum horsepower of 122 HP, a maximum power output of 90 kW, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 420 N.m. The K14C engine has a maximum horsepower of 140 HP, a maximum power output of 103 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 220 N.m. For daily maintenance of the Suzuki Fengyu's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB_CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard being no lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts of sludge remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

The Suzuki SX4 uses a Japanese engine, I can tell you that with certainty. I drive an SX4 myself, the 1.6L model, and have been using it for over four years. I carefully check the manual and maintenance receipts every service. The engine model is M16A, standard Suzuki自主研发 technology. Although assembled in China, core components like the cylinder block material and valve mechanism are manufactured to Japanese standards. What satisfies me most is the fuel efficiency - it averages around 6.5L/100km in urban-rural combined driving, typical Japanese fuel-saving characteristics. Even after Suzuki withdrew from China, parts remain easy to find because the engine design has strong compatibility. Mechanics all say this engine has simple and durable construction, typical Japanese style.

I've studied the powertrains of many Japanese joint-venture cars, and the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross indeed comes with a Japanese engine. Its 1.6L G-INNOTEC engine has pure lineage, developed at the Shizuoka R&D Center in Japan, and retains all core technologies of the original design after domestic production. Last week at the auto repair shop, I personally saw the disassembled engine with SUZUKI steel stamps on the cylinder walls, and the crankshaft bearings were all NTN imported Japanese parts. The most obvious feature is the tuning style – the low-RPM torque is exceptionally smooth, unlike some German cars with turbo lag. This linear power delivery is a typical characteristic of Japanese naturally aspirated engines. Although the localization rate has increased, key ECU programming and combustion systems are still controlled by Suzuki engineers.

How to Remove a Car Charger?

Method for removing a car charger: Simply pull the car charger directly out of the socket, as the car charger is secured inside the cigarette lighter socket only by a tension spring clip, which works bidirectionally. Therefore, no additional steps are needed when removing the car charger—just pull it out directly. Precautions for using a car charger: 1. Charging should only be done when the car's engine is running; 2. Avoid using the car charger in humid environments; 3. Keep it away from children; 4. Avoid lightning strikes; 5. Unplug the charger promptly after charging; 6. The suitable operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C.

Can a Temporary ID Be Used for Subject Three Test?

Yes, a temporary ID can be used as temporary resident identity cards have legal effect in proving citizen identity. Here is more information about the Subject Three test: 1. The road driving skills test (Subject Three) allows five exam scheduling attempts. Each scheduled attempt includes one regular test and one make-up test, totaling ten opportunities. If you skip the make-up test or fail it, you must reschedule. Failing the fifth scheduled attempt will invalidate all previously passed subjects, requiring you to restart from Subject One. 2. Remain calm during the test. Avoid letting nervousness affect gear shifting or light operations, and don't lose points on basic procedures. Extensive practice is key to passing Subject Three - observe carefully during training and handle external factors flexibly to ensure flawless performance during the actual exam.

How to Change Manual Transmission Fluid?

There are two methods to change manual transmission fluid: Method 1: 1. Lift the car and unscrew the drain plug on the transmission oil pan located under the car. The transmission fluid will flow out by gravity. 2. Once the fluid stops flowing, screw the plug back in and refill with new transmission fluid. Method 2: 1. Use a fluid exchange machine. 2. The machine simultaneously adds new fluid and extracts the old mixed fluid, using pressure to push out the old fluid with the new one. 3. This method has a higher fluid replacement rate but consumes more fluid, incurs higher costs, and is more suitable for automatic transmissions with more complex structures and higher fluid requirements.

What is the reason why the rear glass of the Passat cannot be fully lowered?

Here are the reasons why the rear window of the Passat cannot be fully lowered: 1. The rear window of the Passat cannot be fully lowered, leaving about one-third of the glass exposed above. This is due to design and safety considerations. The area below the rear door is often near the wheel, and the lower door frame is inclined or curved, resulting in an irregular shape. This reduces the available space below the rear door compared to the front door, preventing the window from being fully lowered. 2. For some models, the wheel arch design causes a noticeable narrowing in the lower part of the rear door panel. When the rear window is lowered, the lower part of the door panel does not have enough space to accommodate the glass, resulting in the window not being able to fully lower.

What does the AC in a car's air conditioning mean?

AC in a car's air conditioning system refers to the air conditioning cooling switch, which is the power switch for the air conditioning compressor. When the AC button is pressed, the car's air conditioning compressor starts working, and the air blown out by the blower becomes cold. After pressing the AC button, the electromagnetic clutch of the air conditioning compressor engages, causing the compressor to operate, and the car's air conditioning enters the cooling mode. Additional information about automatic air conditioning is as follows: 1. Automatic air conditioning automatically adjusts the interior temperature based on the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. 2. When using the air conditioning for heating in winter, the AC light being on does not assist in heating; instead, it causes unnecessary power loss due to the compressor's operation.
