Turbocharged cars should install underbody protection plates, primarily to prevent damage to the oil pan. Below are specific considerations for turbocharged vehicles: Use high-quality engine oil: Turbochargers require full synthetic oil, and the oil change interval should be appropriately shortened. Opting for premium engine oil ensures better oxidation resistance, wear resistance, high-temperature performance, lubrication, and heat dissipation. Promptly replace oil and air filters: For turbocharged models, it is crucial to regularly replace the oil filter and air filter to maintain the turbocharger's cleanliness. The clearance between the turbocharger's rotating shaft and bushing is very small. If the oil used is impure or the oil filter is dirty, it can lead to excessive wear on the turbocharger. It is recommended to use high-quality oils such as full synthetic or semi-synthetic oils for stronger cleaning and protective effects.

Is it useful to add sealing strips to a sedan?

Adding sealing strips to a sedan is not useful: 1. The noise reduction effect is not significant, as the main sources of car noise are engine noise and tire noise; 2. Drainage holes may get blocked. There are several drainage holes at the bottom of the car doors, and installing sealing strips can easily block these holes. The consequence of blocked drainage holes is poor drainage, which may damage the power window motor of the rear doors. Sealing strips are products designed to seal something, making it difficult to open, and they serve functions such as shock absorption, waterproofing, noise insulation, heat insulation, dust prevention, and fixation. Sealing strips come in various materials, including rubber, paper, metal, and plastic.

Does coasting in neutral harm an automatic transmission car?

Coasting in neutral can harm an automatic transmission car. When the car is coasting in neutral, the engine idles, and the transmission oil pump rotates at a lower speed, resulting in lower oil pressure. Meanwhile, the output shaft of the transmission rotates at high speed driven by the wheels, which causes the gears and friction plates inside the transmission to rotate rapidly, generating significant heat. If the oil pump pressure is low and the transmission oil circulates slowly, the heat cannot dissipate in time, leading to high internal temperatures that may damage the transmission. The more serious issue with coasting in neutral is safety. When coasting downhill, the car moves forward due to inertia and gravity. If the car is in gear, the engine is "dragged" by the wheels, providing a braking effect.

What are the dimensions of the Volkswagen Tharu?

Volkswagen Tharu's dimensions are 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. The interior layout of the Tharu is quite similar to the new Lavida, featuring a central control display screen positioned at the top of the dashboard, with air vents located below it. Additionally, the design of the taillight clusters resembles that of the new Lavida, while the front fascia shares the same design as the Volkswagen Teramont. In terms of power, the Volkswagen Tharu offers a choice between a 1.4T and a 2.0T turbocharged engine. The third-generation EA888 2.0T low-carbon version turbocharged engine is highly efficient, fuel-saving, and delivers strong performance, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

How to Clean Cement Stains on a Car?

Cement stains on a car can be cleaned using the following methods: 1. Try pouring gasoline on the cement; once it softens, it can be cleaned off. 2. Use a hairdryer to heat the area with cement stains; the cement will expand and fall off automatically. 3. Use a blade to cut between the paint and the cement, then apply wax. If cutting is not possible, carefully grind off the cement with an angle grinder before waxing, being cautious not to damage the paint. 4. Spray white vinegar on the cement using a spray bottle, wait for 3 to 5 minutes, then gently scrape it off with an old bank card or similar item. The cement will come off in chunks. Afterwards, clean any remaining traces with a neutral car wash solution on the vinegar-sprayed paint surface.

What can leftover engine oil be used for?

Leftover engine oil can be saved for future use. It's important to note that once opened, the shelf life of engine oil shortens, typically to just one year. If it expires, it should no longer be used in cars. To store engine oil properly, ensure it is tightly sealed by covering the bottle opening with plastic wrap and then tightening the cap. Store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent oxidation due to high temperatures. Additionally, expired engine oil still has many uses, such as lubrication. Even after expiration, it retains some lubricating properties. While it's not suitable for car engines, it can be applied to bicycle chains that aren't running smoothly or to mechanical parts of other machines that are rusted or stuck, providing effective lubrication. This way, you can repurpose waste and avoid unnecessary waste.
