What Causes Engine Abnormal Noise in Volkswagen Lavida?

Volkswagen Lavida engine abnormal noise is caused by aging or loosening of engine mounts, engine misfire noise, or "piston slap" noise. Aging or loosening of engine mounts: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the vehicle frame. Their purpose is to reduce vibration and cushion the engine's operation, while also securing the engine in place. Once these mounts age or become loose, the engine will vibrate, resulting in abnormal noise. Engine misfire noise: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly. The exhaust gas flow from the car will show obvious intermittency, and the exhaust pipe will shake violently. You can clearly hear a "popping" or thumping sound from the engine. This phenomenon is largely related to ignition coil failure. "Piston slap" noise: Due to poor lubrication conditions, excessive wear of the piston and cylinder wall causes the clearance fit tolerance between the piston and cylinder wall to exceed the normal range. When the engine is running, the piston skirt hits the cylinder wall, producing a clear "clanging" sound, which is usually more noticeable at idle or low speeds.

Can a tire pressure of 195 drive normally?

A tire pressure of 195 cannot drive normally. The normal cold tire pressure should be between 2.2-2.5 bar, and the recommended cold tire pressure is 2.5 bar, which results in lower fuel consumption and ensures that the tire pressure remains within the safe range of 3.0 during high-speed driving. The following are relevant introductions about tire pressure: Tire pressure requirements for different vehicle models: The optimal tire pressure is not a fixed value but varies depending on the vehicle model. The standard tire pressure for each model is indicated in the vehicle's user manual, on the inside of the fuel tank cap, or below the B-pillar on the passenger side. Regular tire pressure checks ensure safety: Before traveling, observe the tire condition. For low-pressure tires, as long as the flatness is not too low, it is normal if they feel very elastic when pressed with the foot, not too soft. For high-pressure tires, which are bias-ply tires with inner tubes, check that the tire shoulder does not bulge when viewed from the front, commonly referred to as "not swollen cheeks," and that the contact area with the ground when viewed from the side is similar to usual.

What are the reasons for no response when starting the car?

The reasons for no response when starting the car are as follows: Engine malfunction: Related to issues such as poor performance of the main injector, cold start injector, temperature control switch, ECU and control circuit, weak battery, damaged ignition or pulse generator, fuel system not supplying fuel or supplying fuel abnormally, etc. Automatic transmission malfunction: Slow acceleration, strong impact during automatic gear shifting, high oil temperature, lack of high-speed gear, failure to start, inability to change the gear lever position, etc. Most faults in automatic transmissions are caused by untimely maintenance and adjustment, apart from component failures due to long-term use.

Should the Subaru XV use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

Subaru XV can use either 92 or 95 octane gasoline. Here is some relevant information about 92 and 95 octane gasoline: 1. The octane rating of gasoline (92 or 95) represents the fuel's anti-knock property. The higher the octane number, the greater the content of isooctane, indicating better anti-knock performance. The main difference between these two types of gasoline lies in the composition of n-heptane and isooctane. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. 2. What car owners need to do is: carefully read the vehicle's manual, understand the compression ratio of the engine, and follow the fuel standards specified in the manual. 3. The primary criterion for selecting gasoline octane rating is the engine's compression ratio, which is also a core energy-saving indicator of modern cars. Engine operation consists of a continuous cycle of "intake-compression-combustion-exhaust-intake" in the cylinders. The compression ratio is the ratio of the cylinder volume when the piston is at the farthest and nearest points of its stroke. 4. The best way to reduce fuel consumption costs is to increase the engine's compression ratio. Increasing the compression ratio only changes the piston stroke. The more the air-fuel mixture is compressed, the greater the combustion reaction, leading to more complete combustion. The compression ratio is matched with an indicator, which is the anti-knock property of gasoline, also known as the octane rating or gasoline grade.

What car has a big star with a small star next to it?

A big star with a small star next to it represents a Subaru car. The relevant introduction of Subaru is as follows: Subaru's powertrain: Equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine, it can deliver a peak power output of 177kw, with torque starting from 2400rpm and maintaining a peak of 350Nm up to 3600rpm. Subaru's exterior design: The hood features a more muscular bulge, and the traditional air intake on the hood, exclusive to turbocharged models, has been replaced by decorative strips on both sides of the bumper. The increasingly popular daytime running lights are not present in the new Forester's headlight design, while LED position lights cater to consumer preferences.

Is 255 tire pressure too high?

Tire pressure of 255 is not too high. Generally, the cold tire pressure for family cars should be between 2.3bar and 2.5bar, and it can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter. The following is an introduction to tire pressure: The role of tire pressure: "Tire pressure" refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Both excessively high or low tire pressure will affect the service life of the tire. Low tire pressure will increase the deformation of the tire body, making it prone to cracks on the sidewall. It also increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulder and correspondingly increasing fuel consumption. Precautions related to tire pressure: Maintaining proper tire inflation can provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and driving comfort. It is recommended to check the tire pressure regularly, including the spare tire. Even tires in good condition may lose 10-20 kPa of pressure per month, so regular checks are necessary.

What Causes Engine Shaking and Lack of Power During Acceleration?

Engine Shaking and Lack of Power During Acceleration: Causes Throttle Body Carbon Buildup: The most common reason for engine shaking when the air conditioning is turned on is carbon buildup in the throttle body, which affects engine performance. When the air conditioning is activated, the engine load suddenly increases, and the throttle opening expands. At this point, the issue of dirt becomes more pronounced—the throttle may stick or fail to open to the proper position, restricting airflow. This reduces engine power and ultimately leads to engine shaking. Spark Plug Carbon Buildup: After prolonged use, spark plugs accumulate carbon deposits. If not cleaned in time, this can reduce engine torque output, causing shaking when the air conditioning is turned on. To clean them, soak the spark plugs in a container filled with white vinegar for 2-3 hours (or 4-5 hours for severe buildup). Then, use a stiff-bristle brush to scrub off the carbon deposits. Rinse them with gasoline, let them air-dry naturally for some time, and they will be ready for reuse.
