The engine warning light may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the engine warning light. Fuel quality issues: Failure to use the fuel and engine oil as specified by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to the illumination of the warning light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can result in engine carbon deposits or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, or fuel line blockages can all cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharger issues: Problems with the intake boost piping or turbocharger can also trigger the engine warning light. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake problems: If the vehicle's intake system is compromised, it may lead to engine pipe blockages, and in severe cases, the engine warning light will illuminate. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can cause intake issues. Exhaust problems: Exhaust system faults can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. Common causes include rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter issues, exhaust camshaft and bearing failures, with the catalytic converter being the most frequent culprit. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions can easily lead to catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system fails or if there is a mismatch between the anti-theft controller and the engine ECU, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally, and the engine warning light will illuminate. If the engine warning light is on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally, looking for signs of shaking, black smoke, etc. If such symptoms are present, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The vehicle will enter self-inspection mode upon powering up. Wait for 5-10 seconds and observe if the warning light turns off. If the warning light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.

What is the width of the Volkswagen Lavida?

The body dimensions of the Volkswagen Lavida are: length: 4605mm, width: 1765mm, height: 1460mm, wheelbase: 2610mm. Below is a detailed introduction to the Lavida: 1. The SAIC Volkswagen all-new Lavida is the first car to adopt Volkswagen's latest design. The iconic horizontal grille has evolved further, integrating better with the headlights, resulting in a groundbreaking change to the overall shape. 2. The Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with the currently popular LED headlights for new cars. Models with LED headlights that also feature lenses are rare in this segment, even some luxury brands do not come with LED headlights with lenses. The attention to detail is excellent this time. 3. With the extended wheelbase, the C-pillar of the new car has been moved backward, and the roofline is more streamlined. The coupe-like design makes the side profile more dynamic. The dual waistline design connects the headlights to the taillights, making the body proportions more elongated. In terms of body dimensions, the new car measures 4670/1806/1474mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The recessed rear design enhances the sense of layering. The 'ducktail' design with an upturned edge on the trunk lid is a popular design element nowadays. The slender taillights give the rear a more visually striking effect. The lower surround chrome-plated faux exhaust adopts a symmetrical design, simple and elegant.

What is the engine model of the Polo?

The engine model of the Polo is EA211-DMB, with a maximum power of 83kW, a maximum torque of 145Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 113Ps. The Polo engine is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Company and is a domestically manufactured engine. For daily maintenance of the Polo engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the solution for Geely Boyue shaking?

Idle shaking is usually caused by a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check whether the fuel supply pressure is normal, as abnormal fuel pump supply pressure can cause body shaking.
