Fuel additive functions include removing carbon deposits, reducing fuel consumption, and restoring power. Effects of fuel additive: Fuel additive is a common name for fuel system cleaner, which can to some extent clean the fuel injectors and fuel system, improve the atomization effect of the fuel injectors, promote thorough mixing and combustion of air and gasoline, and with the help of antioxidant detergents, remove gum and moisture from the fuel system, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning carbon deposits. Testing of fuel additive: After adding fuel additive to a vehicle, the tested vehicles showed no significant changes in power, and the same was true for instantaneous fuel consumption, with very little cleaning effect observed. If you want to improve engine power or directly reduce fuel consumption by adding fuel additive, do not expect it to deliver such results.

What is the fuel consumption of the Emgrand GS?

The fuel consumption of the Emgrand GS is 5.9-6.9 (L/100km). Introduction to fuel consumption: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. Types of vehicles specified by national standards for fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: M1 class, M2 class with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5t, and N1 class compressed natural gas vehicles; M1 class and N1 class vehicles with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5t, tested according to the method specified in GB/T12545.1-2008 "Test methods for fuel consumption of passenger cars".

What causes the Roewe RX5 to have no response when jump-starting?

The reasons why the Roewe RX5 has no power when jump-starting may be due to oxidation of the battery's positive terminal causing poor contact, or issues with the negative terminal grounding. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Jump-starting: Contacting a rescue vehicle, connecting the jumper cables, and temporarily charging through the rescue vehicle to start the engine is the correct approach. To prevent being unable to charge when the car battery is dead, owners should keep a set of jumper cables in the car. 2. Towing to start: In the absence of jumper cables, pushing the car or towing to start is the most familiar and effective emergency starting method. However, this should not be used frequently as it can cause certain damage to the engine and clutch. Especially for automatic transmission vehicles, this method should be avoided.

How Should a Driver Handle a Rear Tire Blowout?

Hold the steering wheel firmly, correct the direction, and stop smoothly or use engine braking to decelerate. Apply intermittent braking as appropriate to allow the vehicle to slow down optimally while moving. In the event of a tire blowout causing the vehicle to veer, avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, moderately correct the direction while applying intermittent braking until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Daily checks to prevent tire blowouts: 1. Wear condition: Check if the tire has reached the wear indicator. 2. Tire pressure: Check the pressure at least every two months. 3. Damage: Regularly inspect the tires for any damage. 4. Alignment check: Periodically perform a four-wheel alignment check on the vehicle.

Saiou 3 still has fault light after EGR valve replacement

Saiou 3 experiencing this situation indicates an engine fault warning light, reminding the driver to visit a repair shop as soon as possible. Minor issues may include failing emission standards and unstable idling, while severe cases could affect vehicle performance. More details are as follows: 1. Sensor signal: The PCM monitors the input from the EGR valve pivot position sensor signal to ensure the valve responds correctly to PCM commands. When the EGR valve feedback signal voltage exceeds 0.2V for more than 20 seconds, the PCM will store fault information and illuminate the engine fault warning light. 2. Sticking or open circuit: Carbon deposits between the valve and valve port alter the pivot position, causing changes in the pivot position sensor's resistance value. When the PCM detects a discrepancy between the actual pivot position signal voltage and the set value, it will illuminate the fault warning light.
