The body dimensions of the Volkswagen Tiguan are 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, as per official data. The length of the Volkswagen Tiguan refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear. The width refers to the distance between two parallel planes aligned with the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The Tiguan offers 1.4T and 1.8T engine options. The 1.4T engine delivers a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.8T engine produces a maximum power of 160 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, mated to a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. National regulations on vehicle dimensions stipulate that, according to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The width limitation ensures sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in providing adequate space during overtaking to prevent accidents or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet public road usage requirements.

The dimensions of the Volkswagen Tiguan feel quite reasonable to me after driving it. The body length is about 4.52 meters, width 1.84 meters, and height 1.66 meters. It fits well in standard parking spaces in the city, but you need to be careful when turning in some older streets to avoid scraping the corners. With a wheelbase of around 2680 mm, the rear seats offer ample space for three people and can even accommodate a child seat. The trunk capacity is quite generous, easily handling daily shopping or travel needs, with room for several suitcases without feeling cramped. The slightly larger size does lead to slightly higher fuel consumption, averaging around 8-9 liters per 100 km, but Volkswagen’s well-tuned chassis ensures stability at high speeds, with minimal body roll during turns, making it comfortable for long drives. As a family SUV, its dimensions strike a good balance between space and maneuverability, making parking hassle-free. There’s also the extended Tiguan Allspace, which stretches to 4.7 meters in length with a 2790 mm wheelbase, offering even more rear legroom—ideal for larger families—though fuel consumption increases slightly. Overall, when choosing the Tiguan, consider your lifestyle needs: a larger size may make parking trickier, while a smaller one might lack sufficient space.

What is the reason for the flashing R yellow light in HOWO?

Here are the specific reasons for the flashing R yellow light in HOWO: 1. False fault: The fault code is reported, but the operation is normal. It may be due to an operation that exceeds the control range of the computer, and the computer feedbacks the fault code. You can eliminate it first and then check whether the fault code still appears. 2. Intake pressure sensor fault: There is no particularly obvious fault in the engine. According to the computer detection information and further inspection, it is found whether there is a fault, which does not affect normal driving or has little impact, but it needs to be discovered and solved in time. For example, intake pressure sensor fault, etc. 3. Oxygen sensor fault: Such faults can be felt through visual inspection and driving experience, and seriously affect the normal operation of the engine, requiring immediate repair. For example, the engine is obviously underpowered, which is likely to be an oxygen sensor problem, etc.

Where is the engine number located on an older Volkswagen Polo?

The engine number of an older Volkswagen Polo is located on a sticker on the left side of the engine, visible after opening the hood. The engine number is also found on the firewall's nameplate. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The purchase invoice of the car includes the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate also states the engine number. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine has a unique number and no two engines share the same engine number.

How much fuel does a car consume when idling for one hour?

Based on the current average vehicle displacement of 1.5-1.8 liters, the fuel consumption during idling is approximately 1-2 liters per hour. Additionally, if the air conditioning is turned on during summer, the fuel consumption during idling will be even higher. Generally, gasoline vehicles idle at around 800 RPM, while diesel vehicles idle at around 500 RPM. The higher the vehicle's displacement, the more fuel it consumes per hour while idling. Relevant information about idling is as follows: 1. Introduction: Idling is a working condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle size, among other methods. Idling means the engine is "working but not performing labor." 2. Normal idling: When the vehicle is in a parked state and the engine is started, the minimum stable engine speed is called parking idle speed (the process of the engine transitioning from a cold idle state to an idle state at normal operating temperature is called warming up or heating up the engine).

How to Properly Adjust a Motorcycle Clutch?

Clutch adjustment can be done via the screw connecting the clutch fork and the clutch cable. If the clutch isn't fully disengaging, tighten and shorten the cable; conversely, lengthen it if needed. Here's a relevant introduction about the clutch: 1. Function of a Motorcycle Clutch: Adjusting the tightness of a motorcycle clutch essentially means setting the free play of the clutch cable. This is done using the adjustment screw on the clutch lever or at the engine's clutch cable mounting point. The cable shouldn't be too tight; maintain a certain amount of free movement, typically at least 5mm. Over-tightening may cause clutch slippage, while excessive looseness can lead to incomplete clutch disengagement. 2. Adjusting Clutch Free Play: Most cable-operated clutch mechanisms are similar. Many models feature a round knob (usually covered by a black plastic sleeve) near the lever for minor adjustments. Rotate this knob to set the lever's free play between approximately 10-15mm. For larger adjustments, follow the clutch cable to the clutch actuator lever. Some models have an adjustable mounting bracket here—loosening its screws allows for more significant cable length modifications.

What causes unstable throttle with jerking movements in a car?

It could be a fuel supply issue. If the fuel pump pressure is insufficient, it may be due to prolonged delays in refueling causing premature aging and damage to the fuel pump. Replacing the fuel pump is recommended. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Clogged fuel filter: If the fuel filter is clogged or leaking, it can also lead to insufficient fuel supply, resulting in jerking movements when accelerating. It's advised to replace the fuel filter and test drive to check if the issue resolves. The fuel filter typically removes large particulate impurities from gasoline, improving fuel quality, and generally requires replacement every 1-2 years. 2. Clogged fuel injector: This can result in poor fuel atomization, potentially causing excessively lean air-fuel mixture and leading to single or multiple cylinder misfires, with noticeable engine idle and acceleration vibrations. After removing the fuel injector, use specialized testing equipment to evaluate performance (usually by measuring fuel injection volume per unit time and observing atomization effects). Note: During disassembly, ensure components are placed in order and reinstalled correctly. If replacing with new fuel injectors, ECU matching is required.
