1.4L Jetta has a fuel consumption of approximately 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information about Jetta: 1. Brand Introduction: The new Jetta brand models all adopt a family-style front face design. The sedan inherits the appearance foundation of the classic Volkswagen Jetta, with the overall brand perfectly inheriting German genes and Volkswagen quality. Among them, the Jetta VS7 is developed on Volkswagen's advanced MQB platform, and Volkswagen's globally shared leading production processes allow it to maintain excellent quality, better meeting car owners' needs in terms of safety, space, and technological configurations. 2. Current Models for Sale: The new Jetta was launched on December 7, 2016, currently including 9 models with three displacements of 1.4L, 1.5L, and 1.4TSI, paired with 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions, equipped with Volkswagen's latest generation EA211 series engines.

I've been driving a Jetta 1.4 for two years, mainly for urban commuting and weekend highway trips. In city driving with AC on during summer, fuel consumption reaches 7.5L/100km, peaking at 8.2L during rush hour traffic jams. Highway driving is particularly fuel-efficient - maintaining 90km/h cruise control consumes just over 5L/100km, with the farthest single tank reaching 620km. Using AC increases consumption by 0.5L, while a fully loaded trunk adds about 0.3L. I habitually record mileage with each refuel, maintaining a long-term average of 6.8L/100km. The most economical RPM is around 2000 - maintaining smooth acceleration optimizes fuel efficiency. Regular oil changes (recommended every 5000km before warning lights appear) are crucial for maintaining fuel economy. In winter, warm-up shouldn't exceed 1 minute - only use heater after engine reaches operating temperature.

The EA211 engine in the Jetta 1.4 paired with a lightweight body indeed offers fuel efficiency advantages. In urban driving, it typically consumes around 7 liters per 100km, but cold starts on short trips can spike consumption to 9 liters. Maintaining speeds between 90-100 km/h on highways is most economical, as exceeding 120 km/h increases wind resistance and fuel consumption. Transmission tuning significantly impacts fuel economy, with manual transmissions saving about 0.8 liters compared to automatics. For every 0.2 bar decrease in tire pressure, fuel consumption rises by 3%, so maintaining 2.4 bar is recommended. Using 5W-30 oil saves fuel compared to higher viscosity oils, and the air filter should be replaced every 20,000 km. On one occasion, after filling the tank and driving on suburban roads, the actual consumption was as low as 5.3 liters per 100km. Winter consumption is about 0.7 liters higher than in summer, and prolonged idling to warm up the engine should be avoided.

The daily fuel consumption of the Jetta 1.4 is quite practical. In the city, it's around 7.5 liters, and on the highway, it can drop to just over 5 liters. Don't fill up the tank completely; leaving a quarter space saves more fuel. Check tire pressure regularly, at least once a month. Don't set the air conditioning too high; using recirculation mode saves more fuel. Avoid short trips as they are the most fuel-consuming when the engine just warms up. Change the air filter regularly; a dirty one can increase fuel consumption by 1 liter. Keep the trunk clear of unnecessary items; every 50 kg adds 0.5 liters to fuel consumption. Using 95-octane gasoline saves 0.3 liters per 100 km compared to 92-octane. Start gently and brake less.

How to Deal with a Nail Puncture in the Tire?

If a tire is punctured by a nail, follow these steps: 1. If you notice the puncture while driving, first find a safe place to pull over. Place a triangular warning sign 50 meters in the direction of oncoming traffic. If on a highway, stop in the emergency lane and place the warning sign 150 meters away. 2. If the nail is not fully embedded and you have a spare tire, you can remove the nail. After removal, pour some water over the punctured area to check for air leaks. If there is no leak, no further action is needed. If there is a leak, replace the spare tire. 3. If the nail is fully embedded, check the tire pressure. If the pressure remains unchanged, you can drive to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Monitor the tire pressure during the drive. 4. If there is severe air leakage and no spare tire is available, contact a repair shop for assistance. Avoid driving directly to the repair shop to prevent damage to the tire or wheel rim.

What Causes the Smell of Gasoline When Turning on the Heater?

Opening the heater and smelling gasoline could be due to the following reasons: 1. The carbon particles in the charcoal canister are saturated or failed, causing fuel vapors from the fuel tank to escape into the atmosphere, which are then drawn into the cabin by the blower. 2. There is an exhaust gas leak from the external engine, or foreign objects at the air intake causing unpleasant odors to enter through the air conditioning intake. It is recommended to use the external circulation mode when turning on the heater. 3. The cabin air filter is too dirty. The car's cabin air filter should be cleaned regularly to filter out harmful gases. 4. Mold in the air conditioning ducts and evaporator, which is relatively troublesome and costly to repair.

What does EPS mean in cars?

EPS stands for Electronic Power Steering in English, which translates to electronic power steering. Its working principle is to use the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in power steering. This system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power motor, eliminating the need for power steering oil pumps, hoses, hydraulic oil, transmission belts, and pulleys mounted on the engine required by hydraulic power steering systems, thereby saving energy and protecting the environment. Compared to traditional Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS) systems, the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system offers many advantages: 1. The motor provides assistance only during steering, significantly reducing fuel consumption. 2. The level of steering assistance can be adjusted via software, balancing ease of steering at low speeds with handling stability at high speeds, and providing good return-to-center characteristics. 3. The steering mechanism operates with less noise and makes steering more effortless.
