You can reduce fuel consumption by cleaning engine carbon deposits, checking the oxygen sensor, regularly replacing the three filters, and inspecting the electronic control unit. The combined fuel consumption of the Peugeot 508 is 6.0-6.1L/100km. There are currently 5 models of the Peugeot 508 on sale: the Pioneer Edition and the Drive Fun Edition, with a combined fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The Sport Edition, Passion Edition, and Drive Control Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.0-8.8L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon deposits are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates that there is a considerable amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits inside the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas while driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in vehicles that have been used for a long time, various faults may inevitably occur.

What Causes the ABS Warning Light to Illuminate?

Here are the specific reasons why the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) warning light may illuminate: 1. Voltage and fuse issues: Low battery voltage or blown fuse. 2. Wiring connection problems: Broken ABS system wires, loose connectors, or improperly seated relays. 3. Vehicle component failures: Faulty wheel speed sensors; malfunctioning hydraulic control unit; defective electronic control unit, etc. Note: When the ABS warning light comes on, vehicle owners must take it seriously by promptly stopping and arranging for inspection/repair at a 4S dealership to prevent traffic accidents.

How Often Should a Vehicle Undergo Annual Inspection?

Operational passenger vehicles: annual inspection within the first five years, biannual inspection after five years; operational cargo vehicles: annual inspection within the first ten years, biannual inspection after ten years; passenger cars: biennial inspection within the first six years, annual inspection from six to fifteen years, biannual inspection after fifteen years; large vehicles: annual inspection. Below is extended information regarding vehicle inspections: 1. Documents required for vehicle inspection: The following documents must be brought: vehicle license, compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance (copy), inspector's ID card, triangular warning sign, and fire extinguisher. 2. Vehicle inspection process: (1) Exhaust emission test: After payment, the inspector drives the vehicle onto the testing line. New vehicles generally pass easily. Upon receiving the exhaust emission test pass certificate, proceed to the next steps. If failed, the vehicle must be adjusted at an auto repair shop and retested, requiring another payment. (2) Check for traffic violations: Obtain the periodic vehicle inspection registration form, fill it out, and submit it to the staff to check for any traffic violations. Any violations must be resolved promptly. (3) Exterior and overall inspection: Verify if the compulsory insurance is valid, then inspect the exterior for any modifications or alterations. Subsequently, inspect the chassis, headlights, and other components.

Why Can't I Find the Parking Ticket Violation Record?

The reasons why you can't find the parking ticket violation record: 1. Under review: First, whether it's a physical ticket or an "electronic eye" capture, vehicle violation information typically takes 3-15 days for review before being published online. Therefore, the inability to find the violation might be because the information is still under review. 2. Issued by urban management: Some parking violation tickets are issued by urban management authorities as "Administrative Illegal Parking Notice," which are usually issued by local urban management departments and cannot be queried online. 3. Incomplete photos: For a parking ticket to result in penalty points, the vehicle must have complete photos uploaded online. If there are no photos or the photos are unclear, no penalty can be imposed. Sometimes, the photos taken by traffic police may be incomplete, hence not uploaded online.

What Causes Steering Wheel Shaking When Speed Exceeds 100 km/h?

The reasons for steering wheel shaking when speed exceeds 100 km/h are as follows: 1. Poor tire dynamic balance: During driving, if a tire is subjected to strong local impact causing the balance weights to fall off or become defective, it will affect the tire's dynamic balance. 2. Significant differences in tire pressure among the four tires: When there is a large difference in tire pressure among the four tires, especially between the left and right tires, the car body will experience noticeable bumps and steering wheel shaking during high-speed driving. 3. Poor four-wheel alignment: When the four-wheel alignment angles deviate significantly, the car body will drift and shake during high-speed driving. When steering wheel shaking occurs at high speeds, the first step is to check and optimize the tire pressure, then perform a dynamic balance on all four tires, and finally conduct a four-wheel alignment. This will generally resolve the issue of steering wheel shaking during high-speed driving. If the problem persists, it is recommended to visit a 4S store for a thorough inspection of the chassis, braking system, and engine suspension system.

What to Do When There's Abnormal Noise When Braking and Turning the Steering Wheel?

If there's abnormal noise when braking and turning the steering wheel, first check if the power steering fluid level is normal. Here are more related details: 1. Causes: Usually, it's due to the steering being turned to the limit, causing the power steering pump to reach maximum pressure and produce noise. It could also be an issue with the ball joints or control arms in the chassis. There might also be a problem with the steering system. It's recommended to check if the tie rods, ball joints, or other fasteners are loose or rusty. 2. Correct Driving Methods: (1) Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary; try to turn the wheel after the vehicle starts moving. (2) After the vehicle is parked, return the steering wheel to the center position to prevent the suspension system and tires from bearing unnecessary load. (3) When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to the limit.
