When a car fails to start with all dashboard lights illuminated, it is typically due to insufficient battery power or an engine malfunction. This issue requires professional diagnostic equipment at a 4S shop for repair. Low battery charge is a relatively common occurrence—if the dashboard lights are on, it indicates the battery still has some power, but not enough to start the engine. If the dashboard lights are flickering and you can hear the starter turning weakly, this is another sign of battery depletion, necessitating immediate battery replacement. As an essential automotive component, car batteries fall into two main categories: traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries.

Is It Necessary to Clean the Fuel System at a 4S Shop?

It is necessary to clean the fuel system during car maintenance. Here is a detailed introduction about cleaning the car fuel system: 1. Cleaning interval: It is generally recommended to clean the fuel system every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers driven. Considering the quality of domestic fuel, the ideal condition is to clean it every 20,000 kilometers. 2. Reasons for cleaning: If the fuel system is not cleaned for a long time, carbon deposits and sediments can clog the needle valves and valve holes of the fuel injectors, affecting the performance of the precision components in the injection system, leading to poor fuel injection, inadequate atomization, or even no injection. This can result in unstable idling, increased fuel consumption, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting the car.

What is the fuel consumption of FAW-Volkswagen Talagon?

FAW-Volkswagen Talagon has a fuel consumption of 7.2-9.7L/100km. The following are several factors that affect fuel consumption: 1. Road conditions: Generally, flat roads consume less fuel than bumpy roads, straight roads consume less fuel than curved roads, and smooth roads consume less fuel than congested roads. 2. Weather: In hot summer weather, air conditioning cooling will consume some fuel. In winter, low temperatures prevent gasoline from reaching the optimal combustion temperature, leading to incomplete combustion and additional fuel consumption. 3. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption. 4. Engine: Dirt and grease on the engine surface can affect engine cooling, leading to increased fuel consumption. 5. Carbon deposits in the transmission: Carbon deposits in the transmission can reduce engine power, which to some extent accompanies increased fuel consumption, as achieving the same power as before the carbon deposits requires increasing throttle opening and corresponding fuel supply.
