What Causes Steering Wheel Noise in Small Cars?

There are four main reasons for steering wheel noise in cars. Turn signal return sound: When turning the steering wheel while the turn signal is on, the noise may come from the return mechanism of the automatic turn signal reset, which is normal. Steering column dust cover noise: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be from the steering column dust cover. Lack of lubrication in the dust cover can cause friction noise. Applying some grease inside the dust cover can solve this issue. Noise from inside the steering wheel: This could be caused by the clock spring (airbag spiral cable) inside the steering wheel. Removing the steering wheel and applying grease to the clock spring can fix it. Note: Disconnect the airbag fuse before removing the steering wheel to prevent accidental airbag deployment. Stabilizer bar noise: Check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise not only when turning but also when driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can be fixed by adding shims.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Golf 1.6?

The fuel consumption of the Golf 1.6 is 7.87L/100KM, with an actual fuel consumption of 8.2L/100KM. Road conditions: When road conditions are poor, frequent stopping and starting, as well as switching between the accelerator and brake, can easily increase fuel consumption. Similarly, driving uphill naturally results in higher fuel consumption. Weather: In summer, hot weather means air conditioning use consumes additional fuel. In winter, low temperatures prevent gasoline from reaching the optimal combustion temperature, leading to incomplete combustion and increased fuel consumption. Excessive dirt on the engine surface: Dirt and grease on the engine surface can affect heat dissipation, leading to increased fuel consumption.

How to fold down the rear seats of the Elantra?
