Brake discs: The 320li has front 292 and rear 296 brake discs, while the 325li has front 300 and rear 300 brake discs. 3. Wheel rims and tires: The 320li comes with 16-inch rims and 205 tires, while the 325li has 17-inch rims and 225 tires. Although both use run-flat tires, the Continental run-flat tires on the 320li are of a lower grade compared to those on the 325li, with differences not just in width. 4. Interior: The 320li has a standard steering wheel, while the 325li features a sport steering wheel. Except for the top trim of the 320li, the audio system is downgraded, including the amplifier, whereas the 325li is equipped with HARMAN/BECKER mid-range audio system across all trims. 5. Safety: The 320li has a cruise control system, while the 325li features a dynamic cruise control system. The 320li's DSC dynamic stability system is the same as the older 318i's, whereas the 325li comes with the truly new-generation DSC advanced dynamic stability system.

Can Coolants of Different Colors Be Mixed Together?

Coolants of different colors cannot be mixed together, and even coolants of the same color may not necessarily be compatible. It depends on the brand and model. It is best not to mix coolants from different brands or models to avoid rendering the coolant ineffective due to differing chemical compositions. How to Choose Coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, coolants come in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your area. How to Determine If Coolant Is Low: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low coolant levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperatures. Check the coolant reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add coolant promptly. Check the water level scale on the coolant tank. The normal coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. To determine if the coolant is low, check the scale. If the coolant is below the minimum mark, it indicates a deficiency.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Fabia in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Fabia is 45 liters, as officially announced. The Fabia uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.8-6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 750-775km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

What causes the clutch switch failure in a Jetta car?

Mainly due to the wear and tear of the normally closed copper piece in the switch, which can easily break and fail to close. The clutch switch is a normally closed switch that provides 12 volts to the engine control unit. When the clutch is depressed, the switch opens. Additional information: 1. Function of the clutch: Ensures smooth starting of the car, enables smooth gear shifting, and prevents overload of the transmission system. 2. Working principle of the clutch: (1) The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission, serving as the component in the car's transmission system that directly connects with the engine. Typically, the clutch is mounted together with the engine crankshaft's flywheel assembly, acting as the part that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the car's transmission system. From starting to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission system, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power output from the engine to the transmission system. (2) Its role is to allow gradual engagement between the engine and the transmission, ensuring smooth starting of the car; temporarily cutting off the connection between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting; and acting as a separator during emergency braking to prevent overload of the transmission and other drive systems, thus providing a certain protective effect.

Does a car need transmission fluid change at 60,000 kilometers?

Transmission fluid does not need to be changed at 60,000 kilometers. Cars typically require transmission fluid replacement between 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Both manual and automatic transmissions use transmission fluid. In manual transmissions, the fluid serves to lubricate and dissipate heat, while in automatic transmissions, it additionally functions to transmit power. Transmission fluid requires regular replacement; prolonged neglect can lead to excessive contamination, potentially accelerating gear wear and impairing the operation of transmission control mechanisms. There are two methods for changing transmission fluid: the gravity drain method and the machine flush method.

Will the dashboard display when the car battery is low on power?

The dashboard will display a battery power symbol when the car battery is low on power. The effects of a depleted battery on the car include unstable engine idling; reduced actual fuel injection by the engine; weakened ignition energy; inability to deactivate the anti-theft alarm; locking of the audio system; and malfunctioning of related systems. The method for charging a car battery is to connect the positive terminal of the charger to the positive terminal of the car battery and the negative terminal of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery; pressing the charge button will initiate charging. Precautions for battery charging include: a battery voltage 10% below the rated voltage will cause the battery to deplete; avoid water entering the battery during charging; the battery should be charged directly without removal to prevent data loss. During the use of the car, avoid leaving the car parked in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, the battery should be removed to prevent it from becoming unusable due to depletion. If the car fails to start after multiple attempts, check the ignition coil circuit or fuel system for issues instead of repeatedly attempting to start the car, which can lead to excessive battery discharge and damage. Over time, batteries will self-discharge and eventually become unusable, so even if the car is not in use, it should be started periodically to charge the battery. Additionally, the battery terminals should be cleaned regularly and coated with specialized grease to protect them and extend the battery's lifespan.
