Solutions for the buzzing sound in Lavida's engine are as follows: 1. The buzzing sound when accelerating may be due to a difference in quality between the new engine oil and the previously used one. Check the quality of the engine oil and replace it if necessary. 2. Another possible cause could be loose screws on the exhaust pipe or engine, or contact with the underbody shield. Tighten the screws properly. 3. If the buzzing sound occurs when accelerating and disappears when releasing the accelerator, identify the source of the sound. If it's on the right side of the engine, the issue might be with the generator's belt, the throttle valve, or the engine or other mounting brackets. If needed, take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

I've been driving my Lavida for a while and have encountered several instances of engine humming. Most of the time, it's due to issues with the engine mounts. When those rubber pads age, they amplify vibration noises, especially noticeable during acceleration. Another common cause is loose or worn belts, particularly noticeable during cold starts. The last time I encountered this, it was caused by a faulty tensioner pulley. If there's dirt on the fan or damaged blades, it can also produce a humming sound when rotating. Regularly cleaning the fan cover can help reduce noise. Additionally, a clogged air filter can restrict airflow, causing the engine to make similar sounds. Solutions include checking the mounts and replacing them promptly, inspecting the belt system for tightening or replacement, cleaning the fan blades, and replacing the air filter. If not addressed in time, accumulated vibrations can damage more components, potentially doubling repair costs. I recommend visiting a professional repair shop for a diagnosis first, avoiding DIY fixes to prevent accidents. In short, such issues should not be ignored as they relate to driving safety and comfort.

Solutions for Lavida Engine Humming Noise I often ponder over this issue. Start with simple checks like inspecting the engine mounts for integrity—replace them if the rubber is severely worn. Next, examine whether the belt is loose or cracked, then adjust the tension or replace the entire set. Clean any dirt from the fan blades, as foreign objects might be stuck inside. A clogged air filter can also cause humming; replacing it resolves intake issues. Sometimes, cooling system abnormalities produce humming noises, so check the pump and radiator connections. My personal habit is to stop and self-inspect upon detecting unusual sounds to avoid road hazards. If mounts and belts are fine but the problem persists, promptly visit a repair shop for professional diagnostics on the chassis or exhaust system using specialized tools. Remember, ignoring humming noises may lead to greater losses—don’t skimp on minor costs and risk major damage. Paying extra attention to these points during maintenance can prevent future issues.

Does Alcohol Disinfectant Damage Car Paint?

It does not damage the car paint because car paint is high-temperature baked paint. Although alcohol is a strong solvent, its dissolving power is relatively weak, so it won't harm the car paint. However, after wiping with alcohol, it should be rinsed immediately with water. Prolonged use may affect the paint's gloss. Car Cleaning Precautions: 1. Avoid Using Soft Water: Do not use soft water for cleaning, including hot water or alkaline water, as these substances can damage the paint. 2. Avoid Adding Random Detergents: Do not use laundry detergent, cleaning agents, or low-quality soap when washing, as these detergents contain alkali, which may strip the paint's protective oils and accelerate aging. 3. Avoid Using High-Pressure Water Jets: Excessive water pressure can damage the car's paint surface. 4. Avoid Misusing Stain Removers: For highly corrosive stains on the car body, such as asphalt, grease, bird droppings, or insect residue, which are difficult to clean, use appropriate cleaners specifically designed for these issues.

Which region does the license plate starting with 'Dong' belong to?

Currently, there are no license plates that start with the character 'Dong'. The Chinese character at the beginning of a license plate represents a province or municipality directly under the central government, while the letters following the character represent a city or district. The letters or numbers at the front of the license plate can indicate which city the vehicle belongs to. License plates are plates attached to the front and rear of a vehicle, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, inscribed with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles, with their primary function being to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs. They also allow for tracking the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the license plate.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the old Jetta in liters?

Jetta's fuel tank has a nominal capacity of 55L, with a maximum additional capacity of 3-4 liters. During continuous refueling, the first pump shutoff typically occurs at around 40 liters. Generally, a full tank can cover over 500 kilometers. For instance, a vehicle consuming 10 liters per 100 kilometers usually has a fuel tank capacity of approximately 60 liters. When the fuel gauge warning light comes on, there are usually 5-6 liters of fuel remaining. Jetta is an automobile brand produced by FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. The Jetta (Jetta-MK1) was first launched in Europe in 1979. On December 5, 1991, the first domestically produced Jetta A2 rolled off the assembly line at FAW-Volkswagen's car plant. It was an upgraded version based on the second-generation German Jetta A2 from 1983. Taking the Jetta VS5 as an example, its body dimensions are 4419mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1616mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm. In terms of power, the Jetta VS5 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Exterior-wise, the front face of the Jetta VS5 adopts Volkswagen's X-design elements, extending bidirectionally to the hood and lower grille. The side body lines follow Volkswagen's brand design, running through the entire vehicle. Vehicles should not arbitrarily switch to fuel with different octane ratings. Using a lower octane fuel may cause premature combustion, leading to engine knocking. Additionally, incomplete combustion of the fuel can increase carbon deposits, potentially clogging ducts and injectors, resulting in reduced vehicle power and increased fuel consumption.

How Many Kilometers Are Allowed for a New Car?

Here is the introduction to the allowed kilometers for a new car: 1. Domestic production: Under normal circumstances, if the vehicle is domestically produced, its mileage is generally within 50 kilometers. 2. Imported vehicles: If it is an imported vehicle, considering factors such as transportation, port shipment, and customs, its mileage is generally within 100 kilometers. Exceeding this mileage may indicate that the car is a used vehicle or a test-drive car. Below are specific precautions when picking up a new car: 1. Inspect the body: Visually examine the car's paint surface to check for scratches and wear. Observe the paint under ample sunlight to see if there is any color difference. Open the doors and adjust them at various angles to let light shine from different directions to check if the sheet metal is even. 2. Check the doors: Open the doors and pay attention to whether they open and close smoothly, and whether the gaps between the doors and the front and rear bumpers are consistent. 3. Inspect the engine: Open the engine hood and check if the engine compartment is clean. If the car has been stored for a long time or used, some areas may have obvious dust or stains. 4. Check the glass: Verify whether the windshield is original.

What are the common causes of engine oil leakage?

The causes of engine oil leakage are: 1. The cylinder head gasket between the upper and lower cylinder blocks is burned through, causing lubricating oil to seep out (located in the upper middle part of the engine); 2. Insufficient adhesive at the connection between the lower cylinder block and the base cylinder block, resulting in gaps that allow oil seepage; 3. Uneven application of sealant between the oil pan and the engine block, creating weak points that may crack and leak oil after prolonged use; 4. Sand holes or cracks in the cylinder block or oil pan. The main hazards of engine oil leakage are oil loss and waste, and in severe cases, it may lead to insufficient oil levels, potentially causing engine damage. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the oil level closely. Most vehicles are equipped with oil level indicators, which help prevent unnoticed drops in oil levels below normal, and an oil pressure warning light will alert the driver if the oil pressure is insufficient.
