The Golf 1.2T, 1.4T, and 2.0T turbocharged engines are recommended to use 95 octane gasoline, while the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine is recommended to use 92 octane gasoline. Relevant information about gasoline octane ratings is as follows: 1. The gasoline octane rating refers to the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. Higher octane ratings are not necessarily better; the appropriate gasoline octane rating should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. 2. There is essentially no difference in quality between 92 and 95 octane gasoline, as neither contains fuel impurities. The difference in octane ratings is due to the varying proportions of their internal components, specifically the differing content of n-heptane and isooctane.

Where is the engine number located on a Cadillac ATS?

The engine number of a Cadillac ATS is located between the engine and the transmission, typically consisting of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters.

How is Fatigue Driving Determined for Private Vehicles?

Continuous driving of a motor vehicle for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or with a rest period of less than 20 minutes is considered fatigue driving. The following are the hazards of fatigue driving: 1. Impact on driving: When a driver is fatigued, their judgment declines, reactions slow down, and operational errors increase. When a driver is mildly fatigued, they may shift gears untimely or inaccurately. When moderately fatigued, their movements become sluggish, and they may even forget to operate the vehicle. In cases of severe fatigue, drivers often perform actions subconsciously or experience brief episodes of sleep, potentially losing control of the vehicle in serious situations. 2. Risk to road safety: Fatigued drivers may experience blurred vision, back pain, stiff movements, swollen hands or feet, lack of concentration, slow reactions, incomplete thinking, mental distraction, anxiety, or irritability. If they continue to drive under these conditions, it may lead to traffic accidents.

Why is there gasoline in the carbon canister?

Carbon canister contains gasoline because the pipeline connected to the solenoid valve at one end of the carbon canister is disconnected, and the car is started and slowly accelerated. A plastic film is placed at the solenoid valve pipe opening to check for suction, or there is a defect in the fuel tank design of the car. No measures were taken to prevent overfilling during the design, which eventually led to liquid gasoline entering the carbon canister through the conduit. Here is more information about the carbon canister: 1. The role of the carbon canister: The carbon canister is part of the vehicle's gasoline evaporation control system and is installed between the fuel tank and the engine. The carbon canister's function is to introduce vapor into the engine cylinder for combustion and prevent it from volatilizing into the atmosphere. 2. Symptoms of carbon canister failure: When the carbon canister fails, the vehicle may exhibit symptoms such as abnormal noise while driving, jerking when stepping on the accelerator, severe fuel odor inside the car, unstable engine idle, lack of power during acceleration, engine prone to stalling, and difficulty starting the car.

Why does the anti-theft light keep flashing after locking the car?

After locking the car, the anti-theft light keeps flashing to inform the owner that the vehicle's anti-theft system has been activated. The following is a detailed introduction to the reasons why the anti-theft light keeps flashing after locking the car: 1. Working status: It indicates that the vehicle's anti-theft system is activated. 2. Power consumption: If the car's engine anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it is normal. This means that the car's engine has entered the anti-theft state, and the engine anti-theft system has started to work. This is a normal phenomenon, and the owner does not need to deactivate it. Moreover, the power consumption is minimal, and it poses no problem for the battery. If the battery runs out of power, the vehicle's anti-theft system will lock the car, making it impossible to deactivate the anti-theft system with the remote control, open the door, or start the engine. In this case, you need to use the mechanical key to open the car and either jump-start or replace the battery.

Where is the tow hook on the 2021 Bora?

The tow hook on the 2021 Bora is located in the trunk. Additional information is as follows: 1. Product Concept: The Bora sedan evokes an irresistible urge to drive it the moment you see it. Like other Volkswagen models from Germany, the 'Bora' is named after the wind—specifically, the refreshing breeze of the Adriatic Sea. In China, FAW-Volkswagen has given it a culturally resonant name—Bora. It is a full-size sedan under the Volkswagen brand, the latest masterpiece of the A-class platform, a product synchronized with international standards, and a leader in modern car performance and quality. 2. Vehicle Overview: After the launch of the 2011 Bora, the 2010 model was renamed the Bora Classic. While the 2011 Bora retains the name, it bears little resemblance to the 2010 Bora Classic. The 2011 Bora is built on Volkswagen's well-established PQ34 platform, the same platform used for Shanghai Volkswagen's new A-class sedan, the Lavida. Although the 2011 Bora continues to use the PQ34 platform, its vehicle control system, bus system, and other components adopt the latest PQ35 platform technology, which Volkswagen refers to as PQ34L. This integration allows many advanced features of the PQ35 platform to be implemented in the 2011 Bora, providing drivers with enhanced driving pleasure and convenience.
