The reasons for the Citroen C-Quatre not accelerating when stepping on the accelerator are as follows: 1. Use of low-quality gasoline: Low-quality gasoline contains more impurities, which can lead to low fuel calorific value and reduced thermal efficiency. Prolonged use of low-quality gasoline not only weakens the car's power but also easily forms carbon deposits, damages the engine, and reduces its lifespan. 2. Blockage in the intake system: Blockage in the intake system reduces oxygen content, leading to incomplete fuel combustion. Intake system blockage is usually caused by issues with the throttle. Cleaning the throttle can solve the problem. 3. Fuel injector malfunction: A clogged fuel injector results in poor atomization. Replacing the fuel injector can resolve the issue.

What is the reason for the belt slipping sound when accelerating?

The reason for the belt slipping sound when accelerating is: severe belt wear. When the car's belt is severely worn, the contact area between the belt and the pulley will be significantly reduced. As long as the belt is pressed hard, the belt will sink deeply into the groove of the pulley. When the belt rotates, it becomes very difficult and produces a slipping noise. Generally, there are three main reasons for belt noise: 1. Aging of the drive belt: The drive belt is mainly made of rubber, and rubber will age after prolonged use, becoming harder and more brittle. The friction coefficient will also decrease, which will affect power transmission, leading to slipping and noise. 2. Insufficient belt tension: When the belt tension is insufficient, the belt is prone to slipping just like when it is aged. Belts are automatically adjusted for tightness through a large spring design that presses the belt, thereby regulating the belt's tightness. When the belt is too loose, the friction will also decrease, causing noise due to slipping. 3. Severe belt wear: When the car's belt is severely worn, the contact area between the belt and the pulley will be significantly reduced. As long as the belt is pressed hard, the belt will sink deeply into the groove of the pulley. When the belt rotates, it becomes very difficult and produces noise.

Can the owner be absent during the vehicle inspection?

Can the owner be absent during the vehicle inspection? The following is the relevant introduction to vehicle annual inspection: 1. Inspection time: The owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection qualification mark to the vehicle management office at the place of registration within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period (vehicles after September 2012 are inspected every six years). The inspection time is within three months before the annual registration date of the driving license expires. 2. Materials: Before the annual inspection, check the validity date of the compulsory traffic insurance that includes the vehicle and vessel tax. If it has expired or will expire within three months after the inspection date, it is recommended to renew it in advance. ID card of the owner or agent; vehicle driving license.

Should the Volkswagen Tacqua use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendations, most models of the Tacqua should use 92 octane gasoline, while the Tacqua-2021-280TSI-DSG-Yue Pro Smart Connect Edition and R-Line Smart Connect Edition should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the Tacqua's fuel tank cap also indicates the recommended octane rating. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Tacqua occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-octane gasoline, using higher-octane fuel will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-octane gasoline, using lower-octane fuel can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number reduces the gasoline's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, resistance occurs during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking only increases noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.
