Maxus D90 Pro diesel common issues are as follows: 1. Exceeding OBD standards: Catalytic converter efficiency, particulate filter efficiency, oxygen sensor degradation curve, engine shaking or stalling, evaporative emission control system, fuel system passages, exhaust gas recirculation system—if any of these exceed the standards set by OBD, an emission system fault will occur. 2. Vehicle prone to shaking and stalling: If the vehicle shakes or stalls, the main reason is dirty fuel injectors. Long-term use of fuel additives can help remove fuel deposits near the injectors. If this doesn’t work, take the vehicle to a repair shop for a thorough cleaning of the air intake system.

I've been driving the Maxus D90 Pro diesel version for almost two years now. The most noticeable issue in daily use is the frequent problems with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Driving mostly in the city at low speeds leads to carbon buildup, triggering the warning light, which only goes away after highway driving. The engine noise is quite loud during cold starts—my neighbors have mistaken it for home renovations several times. While it's marketed as fuel-efficient, actual city driving consumes about 15% more fuel than I expected, especially in traffic jams. There are also minor electronic glitches, like the reversing camera occasionally failing or the air conditioning controls acting up. Though not major, these issues are annoying. The suspension is on the stiff side, making rough roads quite bumpy, though it handles cargo well. My advice is to drive on highways more often to clear carbon buildup and stick to regular maintenance to minimize these problems.

As an automotive technology enthusiast, I've been following feedback on the Maxus D90 Pro diesel version. The most common issue reported is DPF clogging, where carbon buildup from city driving leads to regeneration failure, with many owners complaining about having to return to dealerships for cleaning. The 2.0T diesel engine exhibits noticeable noise and vibration at low speeds, affecting comfort. The automatic transmission occasionally jerks during gear shifts, lacking smoothness. There are also numerous electronic malfunctions reported, such as sudden instrument cluster freezes or unresponsive infotainment systems. Cold starts can be problematic in winter, especially in northern regions with low temperatures. Improvement measures include updating control software, using high-quality engine oil and air filters to mitigate long-term effects.

I commute daily in the Maxus D90 Pro diesel version, and the most common issue is the frequent illumination of the DPF light, prompting carbon deposit cleaning. City traffic congestion easily leads to accumulation, resulting in reduced power. The startup noise is loud, making it quite disturbing to neighbors in the morning. Fuel consumption is relatively high in the city, costing significantly more than the official data. The suspension setup is stiff, making it quite bumpy over speed bumps. These minor issues aren't fatal, but regular highway driving and maintenance can alleviate much of the stress.

From a maintenance experience perspective, the common issues with the Maxus D90 Pro diesel version include frequent DPF system blockages, especially in low-speed driving conditions. The engine has difficulty starting in cold temperatures, with some vehicles failing to start in winter. Electronic faults such as false alarms from the reverse radar or uneven air conditioning airflow are also reported. Additionally, the suspension tends to age quickly, leading to abnormal noises after off-road driving. Owners should check the DPF status and fuel quality every six months, and using fuel from reputable gas stations can extend the lifespan.

As a family user, I value the safety of the Maxus D90 Pro, but there are common issues to be aware of. Ignoring DPF problems may lead to sluggish acceleration, affecting emergency lane changes. The stiff suspension results in noticeable body roll during sharp turns, requiring cautious driving. The braking system occasionally makes unusual noises, necessitating brake pad inspections. Excessive noise can be distracting. It's recommended to conduct thorough testing when the car is new and prioritize chassis and emission system maintenance during servicing to ensure driving safety.

Should the defogging spray be applied on the inside or outside?

Defogging spray is a reagent used by spraying on the inside. Reasons for using defogging spray in the car: The main reason for fogging on car windows in winter is the excessive temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. When the warm and humid air inside the car comes into contact with the colder glass, it creates fog inside the car. Therefore, the glass defogging spray needs to be applied on the inside to effectively prevent the formation of fog. Functions of defogging spray: Defogging spray not only removes fog from the glass but also forms a thin protective film on the glass to prevent the formation of fog, making it a truly effective product for ensuring driving safety. Some defogging sprays also have the function of removing dirt from the glass, making them even more practical.
