What are the solutions for oil burning in the second-generation EA888 engine?

Second-generation EA888 oil burning solutions include thoroughly cleaning the engine and replacing related components such as piston rings and pistons. The following are details regarding oil burning issues: Poor oil quality: Using low-quality engine oil or oil with viscosity grades that do not meet requirements. Low-grade engine oil can accelerate wear, and oil viscosity that is either too low or too high can lead to poor engine lubrication, increasing wear on piston rings and cylinder walls, reducing sealing performance, and resulting in oil burning. Excessive clearance: Excessive clearance between piston rings and cylinder walls, improper installation of piston rings, or degraded sealing performance can allow oil on the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber, causing oil burning. Additionally, poor sealing performance of valve seals, damage to the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve, or clogged crankcase ventilation ports can increase crankcase pressure, allowing oil to enter the cylinders along with crankcase gases and participate in combustion.

I remember the issue of oil burning with the second-generation EA888 engine, which many friends have encountered. I drove a Volkswagen myself and fell victim to it. Oil burning is usually caused by piston ring problems, where a design flaw allows oil to seep into the combustion chamber. The solution is to first check the oil consumption. If it decreases by more than half a liter every 1,000 kilometers, then it really needs repair. It's recommended to visit a professional auto repair shop for an engine overhaul, replacing the piston ring kit, or upgrading the PCV system—the key component for oil return. Regular maintenance is crucial: check the oil level every 5,000 kilometers and use high-quality full synthetic oil with the correct viscosity to alleviate the issue. Avoid using additives, as they are ineffective and a waste of money. After the fix, the engine runs much quieter, and fuel consumption returns to normal. Remember to maintain it regularly to prevent minor issues from escalating.

Is the Civic Type R a manual transmission?

How to Change Car Antifreeze?

Antifreeze replacement method is as follows: 1. First, inspect the car to check for any signs of leakage. If leakage is found, it needs to be addressed promptly to avoid potential hazards while driving due to antifreeze leakage. 2. Drain the remaining antifreeze. Insert a rubber hose connected to a tap into the radiator filler port, then turn on the tap to allow a continuous flow of tap water through the engine cooling system. 3. After cleaning, add new antifreeze. While adding antifreeze, monitor the quantity closely to avoid overfilling, which could affect driving safety. Fill until the antifreeze reservoir is nearly full, then start the car and wait for 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the fluid level will drop slightly. Add more antifreeze to bring the level between the min and max marks. Here are some precautions for adding antifreeze: 1. Do not mix different types of antifreeze: Different antifreeze types have different freezing points and additives. Mixing them can cause sedimentation and other issues, reducing the effectiveness of the antifreeze. 2. Do not add water to antifreeze: Adding water will raise the freezing point of the antifreeze and reduce the engine's cooling performance, which may lead to overheating while driving.

What are the reasons for the A6L reversing camera not displaying?

The reversing camera, also known as the parking assist system, or reversing visual system, or vehicle monitoring system, etc., provides a more intuitive and clear view of the rear situation when reversing, making it one of the very practical configurations for reversing safety. When the reverse gear is engaged, the system automatically activates the high-definition reversing camera located at the rear of the vehicle, displaying the rear situation clearly on the reversing LCD screen, allowing for accurate grasp of the rear road conditions.
